Here's another thought from Sunday School this past week, something that the teacher brought up again.
When Peter had the revelation in which he discovered that God is no respecter of persons, he describes receiving his revelation while in a "trance" (Acts 10:10). Later, in Acts 12, he is led out of prison by an angel, but he thinks that he's in a dream.
What this means is that Peter, although head of the church (and very capable), was still relatively new to revelation. He was still learning. And so when we are sometimes a little confused trying to understand personal revelation, it's okay to recognize that it can be difficult or unclear. What's important is that we do as Peter did and follow revelation when it is received.
The POWER of DELIVERENCE is most assuredly a pattern of the Lord, 1 NE 1.20. Whether FALLEN MAN (2 NE 2) to REDEEMED MAN (2 NE 9)

Though the Lord is NO respecter of persons He does MOST ASSUREDLY favor
the righteous (1 NE 17.35) who are not past feeling (1 Ne 17.45) and who realize OBEDIENCE (A o F #3) is the FIRST law of heaven & the CORNERSTONE upon which ALL righteousness & progression rests (dc 82.10, 130.20,21, 132.5).
