When things do not turn out as you had hoped they would and when it seems that your prayers did not produce what you had desired, how should you respond? This was the case when Paul was in Philippi. My Spirit closed the doors twice before My Spirit opened another door for him in Philippi.
Paul finally had a vision in the night that a man from Macedonia was pleading for him to come there. A door to plant a church in Philippi was opened, but then he was arrested and thrown in prison. It was there that I opened the prison doors and the man from Macedonia was saved plus his whole household.
Through all those struggles, Paul responded by remaining in praise and thanksgiving, and he kept moving forward with the gospel. It seems like the darkness is increasing in your nation, but I want you to respond like Paul did. Keep in praying, praising, and worshiping Me, and I will open doors for you.
ACTS 16
