Spirit of Jesus

Acts 16:7 When they (Paul & co.) came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.

Acts 16 has some interesting stuff going on as well. You have Paul being stopped from entering an area by the Spirit of Jesus. That is pretty powerful direction, don't you think? They were headed in one direction but it was not the direction that Jesus wanted them to go in. So they were obedient to the spirit of Jesus and turned. Which is good. Yes? But then they end up in another location where some really bad stuff goes down.

You see there was a girl with an evil spirit of divination and she went around after the company shouting at them for DAYS. For DAYS. And finally, Paul snapped and cast the spirit out of her. Good. Yes?

Well it got Paul flogged. And that ain't pretty.

So what do we learn from this?
-Jesus can and will direct us if we are heading in the wrong direction
-don't cast spirits out of people who don't want the spirit cast out of them
-sometimes there are really annoying things in life that you must just bear. Be patient.
