12 - The Macedonian Call -The Itineraries Of Paul
The Macedonian Call Remember the outreach in the Galatia area; how the churches increased in numbers daily? One thing to remember is that this was an area that had already had “WOW’s”, Paul and Barnabas. And it was established before; they had gone back and established it. Now they were just moving and swooping over the area so that everybody could hear. That’s why it was increasing in numbers daily. This didn’t always happen when he’d go into a new area but once a work got established you saw some increase. After this they pass up to Troas and this is where Paul has this Macedonian call. Acts 16:9-10: 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. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. When God says, “Go to Macedonia.” Where do you go? Macedonia. When? Right now. When God says, “Jump.” You jump. You don’t ask how high until you’re on the way up. When God says, “Go.” Don’t ask questions, just go and witness after you get there. Suppose you get there and there’s nobody that wants to believe. Just keep witnessing. God wouldn’t send you there for no reason at all. Why are you there? Because God wants you there and you’re going to open up that area if you’re faithful to the principles of the Word. If nobody believes that first week, so what. You still keep witnessing. If you want to argue, argue with God. There are a lot of communities like Macedonia, where there are people crying, “Help us.” How many have you heard on television? Not too many. Television tells you about all those people that are condemning the movement of the Word; that hold up the negatives; that say that anything that’s Biblical is inaccurate. That’s what you hear on the natural media. It’s natural, what do you expect? Something spiritual? No, it’s going to be natural. Anything oppose
