Many Christians experience limited spiritual impact because their expectations are too low. Just as athletes broke the four-minute mile barrier once they believed it was possible, believers must raise their expectations to expand their influence. When we expect little from God, we receive little and impact others minimally. The key is understanding that expectation is faith in motion - it stretches what's possible. By raising our expectations, we expand our shadow of influence, reveal God as our true source, and create transformation through expectation plus action. God wants to raise what we expect from Him so He can raise what others experience through us.
