Commentary on Acts 16:7
The Spirit's geographic restrictions - 'were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia' and the Spirit 'suffered them not' to go into Bithynia - demonstrates divine sovereignty in mission direction. Not all open doors are God's will; sometimes the Spirit closes opportunities to direct toward His specific purposes. This divine guidance led to the Macedonian vision and Europe's evangelization.
