The five musts which must be there in order to do God a service correctly
It must be in season.
When David had a desire to build a temple it was not in season and was forbidden from building it.
224 But that being a prophet, and his mistake, and God’s duty bound to His prophet. That night He appeared to him, said, “Go tell My servant David, I admire his courage, I love him for this, ’cause he’s a man after My Own heart, and I know it’s time that My ark would be that way, put under something, but I just…It ain’t the season for it to happen. I’ll let his son do it, but I won’t let him do it.”

It must be at the time God said it would be.
There is difference between the saints that lived in the old testament and the deeds might not be the same because of the differences in our eras
248 Notice! No matter how sincere a man may be, no matter how great he’s used of God, no matter what he is, he must be this: must be…The thing that he’s speaking of must be timely by the Bible. Somebody say, “Well, Moses back there.” I know what Moses did, but that not what God’s doing today. “Well, back yonder, thirty years ago, Luther said…” That might be fine, but that’s not what He’s doing today. “Well, forty years ago, Pentecost fell.” But that’s not what He’s doing today. See? It must be timely

It must be in the season of God’s time.
Abraham knew there was a city somewhere and was searching for it, but the revelation was hidden from him because it was not for his age. it is revealed in our day; the rightful season for the revelation of the city of God.
just as Abraham sought for a City on the earth. You know, he was looking for it because he was going to live here someday, Abraham is, in that City. And he went around looking for it. And right on the same grounds where he looked, it was just above him then, and will return in the Millennium and he’ll live in that City. But being a prophet, he was ordained and inspired, he knowed there was a City somewhere, and he was looking for it. But, you see, the whole revelation of it was hid from him. It wasn’t for his age

And it must be by God’s choosing.
David was the one who thought of building a temple for God but God chose his son to build it instead of David. if David build the temple it was not going to be accepted by GOD. He wanted it to be build by David’s son.
251 And notice, and it also must come to the man of God’s choosing. Not a denominational choosing, not of people choosing, but according to God’s choosing. And if it’s a message from God, of a great revelation from God, it must come to His prophet. Now, if you want the Scripture of that, it’s Amos 3:7. See? Now, it must.
