Acts 16:8,9

Acts 16:8,9 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. As Paul retraced his first missionary trip, he continued on to some new cities. He planned to go on up into Turkey, but the Spirit of God wouldn’t let him. But one night while he was on at the seaside city of Troas, God spoke to him in a dream. He saw a man of Macedonia saying, “Come over and help us.” Macedonia was just north of Greece in modern-day Albania. It wasn’t that much further from where Paul already was, except it was across the sea. Paul was in Asia and where the Holy Spirit was wanting him to go was in Europe. The reason that is important is that Europe is where my ancestors are from. Because Paul listened and went into Europe, my ancestors heard the gospel and eventually, I heard the gospel. So I am telling you about Jesus Christ because Paul listened to this night vision from God! Just like Paul listened to God, so we should carefully listen to God. Who knows what will happen if we listen to God. Many thousands of people may hear the gospel if we listen to and obey the will of God.
