The Fullness of Time: A Word of Faith for 2026 for Believers in Yeshua
Each year, we endeavor to hear and receive a word of faith-not as a beautiful slogan, but as spiritual direction. God is faithful: His word accomplishes that for which He sends it forth. But there is a crucial part that depends on us-we must believe, receive, and agree with our hearts, so that God’s word becomes reality in our lives.
The word of faith for 2026 can be expressed in one phrase: the fullness of time. This is not simply a “new season” or a “fortunate year”-this is God’s appointed time, when He brings to fulfillment what we have prayed for, what we have carried in our hearts, what we have awaited for so long and, perhaps, have grown weary of waiting for.
Scripture reveals a moment of such fullness of time in Pharaoh’s story. “And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river” (Genesis 41:1). God gave dreams precisely when the appointed time had come-and this became the beginning of great transformation. And it is vital to see: God touches not only the individual, but the “system” itself-an entire nation, its authority, the circumstances surrounding it. Pharaoh was a man upon whose decisions the destinies of millions depended, yet even his heart and his night were in God’s hands. The dream comes, it troubles him, robs him of peace, exposes the impotence of human wisdom-and through this, God seems to say: “The time has come.” At this juncture, the fullness of time manifests with particular clarity-the Lord Himself sets in motion a chain of events that cannot be orchestrated by human effort. It is precisely through Pharaoh’s dream that the door opens for Joseph, and what had been “closed” for years suddenly begins to move. When God’s time arrives, He Himself initiates events that cannot be “made” through human striving.
Many of us have prayed-for children, for home, for finances, for restoration, for answers, for direction. Some have carried heavy burdens within, some have experienced weariness, some simply have not seen breakthrough. But the truth is this: God is releasing the fullness of time into your life-and His answers come not chaotically, but at the right time, according to His precise timetable.
And here it is essential to hear the principle that the Apostle Paul reveals with great clarity: “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father” (Galatians 4:1-2). In life there is “until the time”-and there is the moment when the time arrives. God has a time appointed by the Father, and the fullness of time means: that very “until the time” is coming to an end.
At the same time, Scripture teaches humility: we do not control God’s timing. “And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:7). We are not obligated to calculate heaven’s calendar, but we are called to keep faith, to wait expectantly, and not to let go of God, even when the process seems lengthy.
The most powerful manifestation of the fullness of time has already been given to the world-the coming of the Son of God. “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons” (Galatians 4:4-5). For centuries, people prayed for the Messiah, yet not all recognized Him. And therefore, today it is important not only to await God’s actions, but to discern what God is doing and to enter into it by faith.
And here is the heart of the message: the fullness of time is not only about answered requests, but about a profound experience of sonship. “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father” (Galatians 4:6). The fullness of time in 2026 must lead us not merely to answers, but to maturity-to the life of a son who knows the Father.
A servant labors for wages, he serves out of fear and anxiety. A son serves differently-because he is already accepted, he is already home, he is already an heir. In 2026, God is calling us to emerge from a servant mindset and enter into the position of a son-to wait, but without inner panic, to believe, but without strain, to serve because we belong to Him.
Therefore, our response to the word about the fullness of time is simple and powerful: to wait expectantly and to give praise. To worship God when we rise in the morning. To praise, when it is difficult and when it is good. To speak in faith and not be ashamed of confession: “This is the year of the fullness of time-for me, for my family, and for my ministry. All that God has promised will be fulfilled.” And in all this, to guard what matters most-our spiritual inheritance, so that our children receive not only our plans, but our faith, our gratitude, and a living knowledge of the Father.
