我们可以再看看保罗决定去腓立比。然后我们就能明白一个属神的人如何下定决心，并在圣灵里运作的过程。
1. 保罗的使命
在大马色路上的异像中，耶稣在异像中告诉保罗“你所当行的事必指示你”。
在给亚拿尼亚的另一个异像中，亚拿尼亚得到了关于保罗的进一步信息：“去吧，因为这个人是我所拣选的工具，要在外邦人、君王和以色列人面前传扬我的名。” （使徒行传 9:15）述保罗早已知道他的呼招是将来要向外邦人传礼福音。
2. 教会会议
在徒 15 号章，耶路撒冷教会会议得出结论，除了 4 个具体建议外，外邦信者不必遵循犹太人习俗。这一 个集体的决定，为在外邦人中传福音扫清了不必要的障碍。
3. 耶稣的灵的引导
徒16一直说明当时使徒们的经历。耶稣的灵引领着他们走每一步。
4. 属灵异象：
现在使徒们来到特罗亚，保罗对他生命中，经历了一个新阶段，他收到了新的异象。他得到亮光要前往外邦地区，主要是为了接触非犹太人。
请注意，异象的信息是“帮助我们！”，这是个众数的代名词。
这为保罗和他的团队前往马其顿开辟了一条清晰的道路。团队对此持积极态度。
“他看见异象，我们就想立刻动身往马其顿去，以为上帝呼召我们向他们传福音。” （使徒行传 16:10）
注意：
1. WE：这是保罗对整个团队的异象。我为人人，人人为我。他们的结论是：“上帝呼召了我们……”，不仅仅是保罗一个人。
2. AT ONCE：或立即 (εὐθέως eutheōs G2112)。这是他们热心的表现，一旦他们明白神的旨意，他们就立即付诸行动。他们已经准备好了，不需要拖延或作下一步的准备或调查。
We can look again at Paul's decision to go to Philippi. Then we can understand how a man of God makes up his mind and operates in the Holy Spirit.
1 Paul's Mission
In the vision on the road to Damascus, Jesus told Paul in the vision, "What you should do will show you".
In another vision to Ananias, Ananias received further information about Paul: "Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name." (Acts 9:15) Paul already knew that his calling was to preach the gospel to the Gentiles in the future.
2. Jerusalem Church's Counsel
In Acts 15, the Jerusalem Church Council concluded that Gentile believers need not follow Jewish customs, except for 4 specific recommendations. This collective decision removed unnecessary obstacles to evangelism among the Gentiles.
3. Guidance by the Spirit of Jesus
Acts 16 continues to illustrate the experience of the apostles at that time. The Spirit of Jesus led them every step of the way.
4. Spiritual vision:
Now that the apostles came to Troas, Paul went through a new phase in his life, and he received a new vision. He was given light to go to Gentile lands, chiefly for the purpose of reaching the Gentiles.
Note that the message of the vision is "Help us!", which is plural.
This opened up a clear path for Paul and his team to head to Macedonia. The team is positive about it.
"He saw the vision, and we wanted to set off for Macedonia at once, thinking that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." (Acts 16:10)
Notice:
1. WE: This is Paul's vision for the entire team. I am for everyone, and everyone is for me. Their conclusion: "God has called us..." is not just Paul.
2. AT ONCE: or immediately (εὐθέως eutheōs G2112). This is a sign of their zeal, and once they understand God's will, they immediately act on it. They are ready and there is no need for delay or further preparation or investigation.
