Hello RMFI Friends,
“Timing is everything!” Can I confess that there are several very frustrating things for me about time? I was raised to be “on time” for everything…and to manage and maximize every moment. Though we all have exactly the same amount …I never seem to have enough. Most everything takes longer than I want. God does not ever seem to be in a hurry as much as I am. Right timing has blessed me…and wrong timing has hurt me! Can you relate???
The Word gives us a perspective on timing that challenges my faith and my patience.
Abraham, “At the appointed time I will return to you…”
Moses, “Then the Lord appointed a set time…”
Daniel, “The message was true, but the appointed time was long…”
Habakkuk, “Write the vision…for it is yet for the appointed time.”
God/Father, “But when the fullness of time had come…”
Jesus has an incredible sense of timing guiding His life and ministry: “My time has not yet come…My time has not yet fully come…My time is at hand!”
Nine years ago, Apostle Ron and I started having conversations about his vision to plant an RWOC church in Asheville. We both sensed it was God, but knew the timing was not right. Some very good RMFI ministers wanted to go years ago and plant the church. It was hard, but we had to say “no, it’s not time yet.” A little over two years ago we new it was time to begin to make preparation to plant a multi-site, satellite video church in the Asheville area. Prayerful and diligent preparation has identified wonderful campus pastors and launch team, a great launch plan, and a very plausible launch timeline. While a sense of excitement, expectancy, and urgency has been building for many wonderful people in Asheville, we (like NASA), have been frustrated by repeated launch delays.
I was reading I Corinthians 16 devotionally, and read again the Apostle Paul’s revelation: “For a great and effective door has been opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” Insight came that The Door was Purposeful (“For” Paul & The Kingdom); The Door was “Effectual” (lit. working) or Productive; The Door was Open (Opportune); and at the same time, Opposed! The context is of course his strategic ministry in Ephesus, which has great potential for both fruitfulness and frustration.
The Apostle has learned that “Timing is everything” so he prefaces his door revelation with these words: “But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.” Paul not only knows that he is not finished at Ephesus, but apparently senses that God is about to do something associated with the timing of Pentecost. The exact timetable is not given to us, but while Paul ministered at Ephesus, there was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit that rocked the city! (Acts 19)
Oh, yes! “He’s an on time God!” Our challenge is to be on time…His Time!
Be “on time” and be blessed!

Dear Warriors,
Apostle Ron received a special call from Dr. Mark Chironna on Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 23rd, with a very powerful prophetic Word for Apostle Ron and this ministry! Apostle Ron shared it with RWOC that Wednesday evening, and I shared it recently on our RMFI Kingdom Advance Video Conference. Because this Word is so important, and because everything flows down from the head; on behalf of Apostle Ron, I want to release this Word over our entire international fellowship for 2010!
Dr. Chironna, a proven prophetic voice in this ministry, prophesied that 2010 was going to be “A Year Of Acquisition!” Dr. Chironna further prophesied that “2010 would be a year of acquiring great things… things were about to break… and break big… and it is imminent!”
I must caution us all not to allow our present circumstances to create cynicism toward a breakthrough Word for our lives and ministries in 2010. Listen to Jehoshaphat’s final words to Judah, as they marched out into the wilderness of Tekoa to face a coalition of enemy armies from several nations who overwhelmingly outnumbered them.
“Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established:
Believe His prophets, and you shall prosper!”
Dr. Chironna actually released this message in a prophetic progression with three key words: AGITATION
ò
ALIGNMENT
ò
ACQUISITION
Dr. Mark shared with Apostle that all of the recent Agitation in our nation, personal lives, and ministries, etc., though not caused by God, can be used by God to move us into Alignment. The word “agitate” actually means “to put in motion … stir up … shake up, excite … change.” I was looking at Jehoshaphat’s word to Judah: “Position Yourselves … (get into Alignment) … stand still … and see the salvation (lit. deliverance/victory) of the Lord.” Agitation without understanding divine purpose is frustrating!!! But biblically, possession always depends upon position!
It’s time for us to channel our Agitation/Frustration into new personal, family, and ministry Alignment, Order, and Structure so that 2010 will be a Year of Acquisition!
To “acquire” in Hebrew implies getting something that is supposed to be yours, but it’s not manifest yet … it’s already yours but you don’t have it yet! When Jehoshaphat, the leader, translated Judah’s agitation into alignment, their agitation was gone … their enemies defeated each other…and instead of losing everything they had, they acquired all the wealth their enemies had and it took them three days to pick up all the spoil!
