Understanding Divine Timing

1 Chronicles 12:32

God sees things differently from how men see things.
1 Samuel 16:7
Since God sees what we do not see, hears what we do not hear, and thinks differently than we do, He does things differently than we do.
Isaiah 55:9
Since God does things differently than man does, He has a different timing to what people operate with. God is not limited to our 'chronos' chronolgical time.
Acts 1:7

It is worth understanding divine timing.
It is also possible to know God's time for a matter or have an idea of God's timing on an issue.
The wise men knew the time the Savior was born. They understood divine timing.
They were skilled in the ancient science of astronomy and they knew what the heaven was saying and could tell that an unusual star signified the birth of the Savior.
This star guided them for two years to where Jesus was with his Earthly parents.
Matthew 2:2
Matthew 2:9
Jesus knew God's time to do what needed to be done when He was here on Earth.

The sons of Issachar were men of Israel who were graced by God in their time to know what the nation of Israel was to do in each season.
They were 200 men, heads of their families who led their homes according to God's timing and used their insight or skill to guide the nation.
They could read God's communication in the heavens.

Divine guidance has a lot to do with divine timing.
Divine timing is determined by the heavens.
John 3:27
The Spirit of God reveals the mind, the heart, the timing of God to us which corresponds with the heavens and divine arrangement above.
John 16:15

You may have favor but there is a time for the full manifestation of your favor.
Psalm 102:13
You may have the gift or talent to run a business, start a ministry, begin a venture or enterprise but there is still a time to do it.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Having what it takes is different from getting the timing right.

How do we know the time to do a thing?
1) Be saved - It qualifies you to have access to God and to receive God's insight/secrets.
Psalm 25:14
2) Develop a relationship with God's Spirit - the Spirit is the revelator. He leads, guides, and prompts.
John 16:13
3) Be sensitive to God's Spirit - we can have the Spirit but miss God's timing if we are not sensitive to what the Spirit of God is teachingand telling us.
John 14:26
4) Know how the Spirit speaks to you - the Spirit of God speaks in a whole host of ways to people. Dreams, people, inspiration, ideas, the scriptures, God's Word and visions are some ways God Spirit speaks.
5) God gives confirmation - God can confirm a second time what He has  told you to do.
 Psalm 62:11

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
