Text Box: At times, there seems to be a lot of frustration in the lives of believers and much of it has to do with time. Sometimes it is felt that time has been lost and even time has been delayed concerning the things that God has promised to his people, but the more we understand about time the better we will be able to handle the various experiences that we face on a daily basis. 
In Ecclesiastes chapter three, Solomon so declares to us a great truth — that everything has a certain time Text Box: and season. It says to us that God has made everything in  time and with certain timing involved. The secret to our being successful has to do with time. Our inability to understand time has much to do with our connecting with who we are and whose we are. If our God is the ancient of days, alpha and omega, yesterday, today and forever -  then just as we are created in His image and likeness, we too need to  understand how time operates and need to walk in step with Him concerning time.
Text Box: So how can we wind up in the right place at the right time? Why do we say that we have missed our time? Or, 
why do we think that we are sometimes ahead of time? The Sons of Issachar knew the times and the seasons and what Israel ought to do.

Text Box: God’s Timing  by Phyllis Ford
Text Box: Time is and should always be under the authority of the new creation. God has made us to be new creatures in Christ Jesus, and one of the elements of authority that we rarely walk in and exercise our dominion over is the element of time.
We have to remember, that it is our new creation identity which reflects the very image and likeness of God. But, because we have been saturated with such a watered down teachings in many parts of the body of Christ, there is, in some cases, a total disconnect with the truth of who God restored us to be through Jesus Christ.
Before I share the specific scriptures which bear witness to time being the Text Box: servant of truth, I want to share this one thing:  Once we receive revelation from God instructing us through a specific prophetic rhema word, time itself must cooperate with God’s revealed will, within an allotted window, until what God has revealed is totally executed and fulfilled. So, because we are conformed to his image, it is then within our power through the prophetic revelation of the Holy Spirit, to instruct time as to it’s new assignment that pertains to the Kingdom of God. This, however, occurs only within a specific assigned window. Once God has completed what it was he wanted to accomplish, we then exit that window of authority 
Text Box: over time and return to our normal natural relationship within the boundaries of time.
One of the ways that we instruct time 
as to it’s new assignment which we might not even be aware of is when we call those things that be not as though they are. Your declaration of faith that a thing be created that is not yet in existence is literally assigning time to receive something that is being created and scheduled by you to enter into and invade it’s domain for the glory of God. This occurs only when you’ve been in the presence of God to know what it is that God is doing so you know what to decree and declare.
