• Acts 16:6-7 - The Spirit stopped Paul from entering into certain areas to preach the Gospel

I know that any person can be saved anywhere, anytime as long as they completely obey the Word of God and its plan for salvation.... my question is in the context of a city/town where God has called a preacher to be a beacon of light; will God ever abandon a city or town and pull His preacher out leaving it with noone??? Through the years, I have heard of smaller cities/towns being completely abandoned when a pastor would feel "called" elsewhere and noone else would come to fill the gap....

will God ever abandon a city/town to its own wickedness or will He always call another preacher to come and fill the vacancy??? any thoughts???

I don't see where the "curse" is....I see Jesus rebuking some cities for their unbelief. I see one city not having many mircles done for their unbelief...but I don't see any curses

It's another example of trying to take literal events and spiritualize them in order to make them apply today.
