Paul’s Vision of the Man of Macedonia

They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; so, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us. ”When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them. (Acts 16:6-10, NRSV)

Have you ever felt like you needed to do something?

Like you had to go somewhere?

That is what happened to Paul here. Only it wasn’t just a feeling. It was a vision. God sent him a vision of a man in Macedonia asking for help. And so Paul went there.

Do we always follow through on those feelings?

  1. Paul also was prevented (forbidden) by the Spirit to go certain places. So God can lead by blocking doors as well as by opening them.
