HOW IMPORTANT IS A “SECOND”?
The Lord and I were having a discussion about a conversation with someone who is praying for healing and telling me, “I pray, but I don’t understand why nothing is happening.” It is a frequent comment I hear people ask when they pray and don’t see results right away. At one time, I was one of those people, but that is a story for another BLOG.
How important is a “second”?
The Lord began talking to me about time. “When you wish for something to be different than it is at the moment, you miss what is actually happening in that moment. The time you are given is precious and every ‘second’ is important. There are 60 ‘seconds’ in every minute; 60 minutes in every hour; 24 hours in every day.”
“How do you spend your ‘seconds’? . . . .
. . . . For every ‘second’ you spend with Me is recorded for eternity. Each ‘second’ is imprinted on your brain and stored in your heart (mind, emotions).
Each ‘second’ is like a seed. It will multiply and reproduce after its’ own kind. Nothing goes to waste in My Kingdom. A ‘second’ in My Kingdom is like an explosion of light where darkness cannot reside. It is a burst of energy that produces light like a light bulb.
It can be the difference between life and death, both physically and spiritually. In the blink of an eye or a ‘second’, life’s course can be altered negatively or positively. The ‘seconds’ spent with Me are like seeds for eternity.”
“What are you sowing with your ‘seconds’?
. . . . Life or death; creativity or laziness; building or tearing down; body cells require life every ‘second’ to keep reproducing and operating. Shut down the cells; shut down the body. Speak to the bad cells. Cut life to them and eventually they will die. It may take a ‘second’; ‘seconds’ may become minutes; minutes may become hours; hours may become days . . . .”
Life and death are set before us.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (Amp) says, “I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.” God was speaking to the Israelites about the promised land. Read the chapter because it talks about the character and nature of God. He always gives us a choice.
Physically, our body cells require life every “second” to keep reproducing and operating. We have authority, given to us to speak to the cells that have been taken over by cancer, disease, etc. We have the same power and authority that Jesus had, by Holy Spirit, in our words to cut off life to those cells and they will die. It may take “seconds”; “seconds” may become minutes; minutes may become hours; hours may become days, which become weeks, months, years, but eventually they will die.
The reverse is true when we speak words of life.
How important is a second?
The importance of a “second” takes on special meaning to Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly event at the 2008 Olympic Beijing Games. He won his 8th gold medal by 0.01 second.

What is the description of time that is less than a second?
Simon Bridge, Physicist (Quora, July 30, 2019)
There is no such thing as, “the time that is less than a second”.
Time intervals can be less than one second in duration.
This is not a special kind of time, it is the same kind of time that goes on for longer than a second.
In the SI system, we use metric prefixes on the second to denote shorter time intervals.
- E. a millisecond is 1/1000th of a second.
Decisecond (One tenth of a second): 10^-1 second
Centisecond (One hundredth of a second): 10^-2 second
Millisecond (One thousandth of a second – 1/1000th): 10^-3 second
Microsecond (One Millionth of a second): 10^-6 second
(1,000,000) [average novel has 300 words per page and 300 pages. That would amount to 90,000 words in a novel. If you do the math, to read a million words would require reading eleven novels! That’s quite a lot of reading, but still something humanly attainable.]
[A million seconds is exactly 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds. This may seem like not a long time at all, until you consider something like waiting this long for something. It’s just long enough to make someone get impatient when waiting for, say, a game which you really want. A million minutes about 1 year, 10 months. This means that something a million minutes ago is long enough ago to feel like a fairly distant event. A million hours would be about 114 years meaning that most people don’t live a million hours.]
Nanosecond (One billionth of a second): 10^-9 second
Picosecond (One trillionth of a second): 10^-12 second
Femtosecond (One quadrillionth of a second): 10^-15 second
Attosecond (One quintillionth of a second): 10^-18 second
Zeptosecond (One sextillionth of a second) (0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001): 10^-21 second
Yoctosecond (One septillionth of a second): 10^-24 second
Planic time (believed to be the shortest theoretically measureable time interval): 10^-44 second
Fractional seconds are most often expressed in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second). Nobody talks about three diciseconds – it is 300 milliseconds (or 0.3 seconds).
Nobody uses those other prefixes unless maybe they are dealing constantly with VERY tiny fractions. Most of the world gets by with milliseconds, and only a fool ever mixes them up, so you will never hear anyone with any sense say something like:
After 4 attoseconds, an event lasting 3 picoseconds caused a flash of light lasting 6 zeptoseconds. NOBODY SAYS THAT.
