Acts 16:6-7 (NIV)
6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.
We are on a mission from God! Therefore it His prerogative to send us anywhere He wants, which means that He can stop us from going other places. Does this make sense? Sometimes God doesn’t want us to talk to this person because He has another person for us to talk to. It goes beyond that as well. If God wants us involved in a certain ministry, then we won’t be able to be involved in this ministry, or this sports club or this activity. We have a mission. It is difficult to be focused on ______________ (you fill in the blank with whatever would seem natural or is easy for you to do) and do what God has asked you to do. We are a busy people who wear the badge of busy like it is a gold medal. God wants us to be busy about His business. Plus, maybe you will get around to such and such like Paul eventually preached to all of Asia minor through His ministry at Ephesus. It just wasn’t the right time for it yet.
