Expansion, Vision & Obedience
“Your praise is the only weapon you need.”
Praise + prayer position us to receive revelation and victory.
Prayer is not just for relief but for insight into who we need to become.
When Peter receives vision, he’s already in a posture of prayer.
Ask God to give you insight for this season. Who do I need to be to rise up to this call?
Peter's Vision - Acts 10:9-20
While praying on the roof, Peter became hungry and saw a vision. He saw heaven open up and heard a voice say, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." (Acts 10:13) - referring to the animals
"I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." Peter replied. (Acts 10:14)
"Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." The voice spoke to him three times to confirm. (Acts 10:15-16)
While wondering about the vision, he heard, "Three men are looking for you. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them." (Acts 10:19)
Peter was fulfilling The Great Commission.
He was being called to do something he’s never done before.
God was expanding Peter’s assignment beyond his cultural limits (Jewish heritage → Gentiles).
Vision = Access
Vision isn’t random — it’s access into what God is doing.
Vision requires:
Faith: Rise without full understanding.
Obedience: Go, doubting nothing.
Vision challenges identity — will you cling to who you were or step into destiny?
When God gives you vision, trust it’s a reflection of a need in the earth only you can fulfill.
Expansion Requires a Shift
God uses vision to push you into forbidden territory (new, unfamiliar, uncomfortable).
Expansion requires:
Separation from old ways.
Vulnerability in new places.
Discipline beyond what you’ve done before.
“You can be loyal to what you know or an accomplice to glory.”
Don’t disqualify yourself. If you don’t expand, the need remains unmet.
Overcoming Doubt & Fear
Peter had to move before fully understanding.
God often demands obedience while you’re still processing.
Doubt = stagnation. Faith = movement.
“If you have a vision for it, you’re anointed for it.”
Don’t back down — even when not ready, go anyway.
Going without knowing is still obedience. On the other side of your “yes” is transformation.
Revelation: The Enemy’s Target
The enemy attacks revelation (what God shows you).
Peter spoke from experience with Jesus (revelation).
Revelation fuels transformation and ministry.
“The enemy is after your revelation.”
Stay in the Word — your revelation is your weapon.
The Call to Rise
God’s command: “Rise, kill, and eat.” → “Rise, go, and doubt nothing.”
Called to rise up:
You are the answer & solution.
Equipped with Spirit, power, grace, authority, creativity.
Don’t mimic others — do it the way God anointed you.
“The moment you step into it, God will reveal why it had to be you.”
Trust your authentic anointing. What’s inside you makes hell nervous. Release it.
Expansion is uncomfortable, but it’s necessary for destiny.
God’s counting on us to bring His vision into reality.
On the other side of pain is purpose.
“They’re waiting on you.”
Takeaway:
Rise to the occasion. Vision is an invitation. Go with God, doubting nothing.
