God guides the moving...

Acts 16.6-7 And jthey [Paul, Silas and Timothy] went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but kthe Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. 8 So, passing by Mysia, they went down lto Troas.

The Holy Spirit is the great leader of the expanding kingdom. He determines the to whom the word of God will go next. As He is in charge of placing us into the body of Christ, to be most effective, so He moves us where He wants us to go.

God guides those who move. According to Luke’s account, the good news team traveled through this region and was detained in some clear way and then redirected. The great commission was already given. This seems to encourage people who are seeking to do God’s will, that as they step out in faith, God in His wisdom, will guide us.
