Paul wanted to go to Bythnia to preach the gospel. He also wanted to go to Asia but was restrained by THE SPIRIT OF JESUS! What? Jesus stopped Paul from going somewhere and preaching the gospel? YES! It was Paul’s heart to go everywhere and preach to everyone, but Jesus had another idea – go preach to who I send you! That really speaks to me. The point is that I have to be focused on what God wants and not what I would like to do. It is the difference between asking God to bless the day you planned and asking Him what His plan is for the day. Ministry is supposed to be directed by the Spirit of God for Kingdom purposes. Sometimes that means not doing what would seem natural and logical to do.
