Faith Receives Now Even When It’s Not Time For Everyone Else Yet
“When the wine ran out, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”” (John 2:3-5 WEB)
It’s all about having a revelation that you can receive all of God’s blessings at any time simply through faith, not by earning them through works.
When Jesus’ time to be revealed publicly for ministry hadn’t come yet, Mary had a revelation of Jesus’ Grace and compassion.
Even before it was God’s time to announce it publicly that blessings are received by Grace through faith in Jesus, Mary had insider knowledge by believing in Jesus’ goodness.
The rest of Israel thought that blessings came by obedience to the Law.
Anytime’s a good time to receive from God if you have faith in Jesus.
We’re not waiting for God—He has already given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
God’s just waiting for us to believe and speak it forth so that we can have it as a manifested reality.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;” (Ephesians 1:3 WEB)
Before the Gospel was revealed and proclaimed to the Gentiles (Matthew 15:21-28), the Syrophoenician woman received healing for her demon-possessed daughter through faith in Jesus.
It wasn’t time for the public to know that God’s heart is to save and bless the Gentiles too, but this woman saw Jesus’ goodness through her spiritual eyes of faith and apprehended the blessing.
Under the Law, a Nazirite like Samson who made a solemn vow before God had no right to expect any goodness or Grace from God after breaking his vow.
““‘All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. “‘All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall not go near a dead body.” (Numbers 6:5-6 WEB)
Previously, Samson held a jaw bone of a donkey which was forbidden to him, and yet Yahweh still supernaturally empowered him to slay one thousand Philistine enemies (Judges 15:15-16).
Just before his death, Samson received super-strength again through faith, enabling him to destroy the temple of Dagon.
He had just sinned and broken his vow by allowing his hair to be cut off.
The Law would have disqualified him from receiving any of God’s blessings or gifts.
“Samson called to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.” Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left. Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were therein. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.” (Judges 16:28-30 WEB)
Yet, Yahweh still blessed Samson. Why was this possible?
It’s because the Law doesn’t annul/negate the eternal covenant that God first made with Abraham.
“Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.” (Galatians 3:17-18 WEB)
Samson received his super-strength by faith, through the Abrahamic covenant, not through the Law.
The Abrahamic covenant is one where all the responsibility to fulfill its terms was borne by God.
God promised the blessings and inheritance to Abraham and his descendants (we are his descendants because we are born-again through Jesus), and God also made the necessary payment for this inheritance to be righteously given to them.
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”” (Hebrews 6:13-14 WEB)
This payment was Jesus’ atoning sacrifice for sins at the cross. Through His shed blood, we can righteously receive every blessing through faith in Him.
Don’t wait any longer. God is not holding back any blessings from you to try and keep you on a short leash.
There’s no hidden condition where He can suddenly retract your salvation or sonship just to punish you.
You’re not a child of God on probation—you’re a full-fledged child with the Spirit of sonship that never departs!
If you have faith in Jesus today, you can receive what you’re believing for now.
If there’s still unbelief, just keep hearing about Jesus—specifically His goodness and love as written in God’s word.
Faith will come, and you will speak it and see it!
