Summary
Which way should I go? In Acts 16, Paul is stopped from going southwest by the Holy Spirit and blocked from going north by the Spirit of Jesus until finally permitted to go northwest. A. T. Pierson, in his The Acts of the Holy Spirit, says sometimes, we are “forbidden in one direction, invited in another…”. Pierson gave later examples from the history of missionaries: Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) went to India first but was driven on to Burma. William Carey (1761 – 1834) planned to go to Polynesia, but God guided him to India. David Livingstone (1813-1873) tried to go to China, but God sent him to Africa. So, we need to trust the Holy Spirit for direction and rejoice equally in his restrictions; only then will we know which way to go!
