The Macedonian Call
“Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,”
Acts 16:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 16:6
The Holy Spirit's prohibition against preaching in Asia reveals divine sovereignty over missionary strategy—even good opportunities must yield to Spirit direction.
