What do you do when God says “not yet”?

In this message, Pastor Adam Biro continues the Holy Spirit series by teaching on one of the most challenging aspects of following God: when the Holy Spirit leads by closing doors instead of opening them.

Looking at Acts 16, we see how the Apostle Paul was forbidden by the Holy Spirit from going where he originally intended. What seemed like delay or redirection was actually God positioning him for something greater.

This message reminds us that not every closed door is a denial. Sometimes God narrows our path so He can lead us exactly where we need to go.

This message invites us to:

• Trust God when His timing doesn’t match our expectations
• Recognize the difference between “no” and “not yet”
• Stay sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit
• Let God shape our hearts through the seasons we didn’t choose
• Keep moving forward even when direction feels unclear

God’s delays are not His denials. What He has promised still stands, but His timing prepares us for what we are called to carry.

As we follow the Holy Spirit, we learn that being led by God is not always about speed. It is about alignment.
