"DIVINE INTERVENTION"Β  Acts 16:9-15 by Rev. Roland Syens

Acts 16:9–15
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, β€œCome over to Macedonia and help us.” 
10And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis, 12and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. 15And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, β€œIf you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
