Divine Whispers | by Viju Jeremiah Traven
Before the dawn of creation, the Spirit of God hovered over the formless void to craft the cosmos and prepare a Sanctuary to dwell with Humanity. When Adam fell, the altar of worship at Eden was broken (Genesis 1:2; Isaiah 45:18; 59:2; Exodus 25:8). The Triune God grieved, yet His longing to abide within our hearts remained glowing (Genesis 1:2; 6:6; Isaiah 66:1–2; 2 Corinthians 6:16).
Now, in these final days, the Spirit of Christ whispers: Return to Me, O Bride, I will return to you (Zechariah 1:3; Jeremiah 3:1). Yeshua is not returning for the unfaithful or lukewarm Church. The Biblical narrative speaks of a Bride, rebuilding the spiritual altar of worship to present her body as a pure and holy living sacrifice to please God daily (Revelation 3:15-16; Matthew 25:1-13; Ephesians 5:25-27; Titus 2:13-14; 1 John 3:2-3; Romans 12:1-2).
The Holy Spirit is the Matchmaker, acquainted with the Father’s heart, actively preparing the Bride to unite with Christ (Romans 8:26–27; Matthew 3:11). Every sigh, tremor, and whisper of our soul saying “yes” to Him is woven as a majestic wedding garment, clothing us for CHRIST the KING OF KINGS and the LORD OF LORDS (Revelation 19:7-8; 16; Matthew 22:11-14; Isaiah 61:10; Psalm 45:13-14).
His voice rings out with piercing clarity: “Trim your lamps; let your oil overflow; the midnight cry is near” (Matthew 25:6–7). In a world enslaved by corrupt noises, the Spirit liberates us to dwell in the secret chamber of the King, an invitation for consecration and oneness. If we surrender daily, the Author and Finisher of faith will perfect us as spotless (Romans 8:2; 21; Galatians 1:4; 2 Timothy 2:26; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Philippians 1:6; Jude 1:24).
The Spirit’s sanctifying work on us will not cease until we reflect the radiance of our King until the Bride celebrates His Majesty perpetually (Galatians 4:19). Yeshua has purchased every nation, tribe, tongue, and people of all generations with His holy Blood. He will reign in justice, and His name will be embraced as the hope of all nations (Matthew 12:17–21; Revelation 5:9). Thus, a cry in harmony from Heaven and Earth resounds what Yeshua, the Bridegroom, said earlier: ‘Come!’ says the Spirit and the Bride. Come, all who thirst, drink from the River of Life” (Matthew 11:28; Revelation 22:17).
Until that day of victory, yield, love, watch, and burn with hope. This ache within, to radiate Christ again, the longing for Eden’s restored beauty reminds us of what was lost and ignites our longing for what is to come as the Bridegroom returns (1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Romans 6:13; 12:11-12; 8:19; 22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:13; Matthew 24:42; Revelation 21:1-5). May the Spirit breathe on the Bride again, regenerating her to unveil Christ, the Hope of Glory (Titus 3:5; Isaiah 60:1; Colossians 1:27).
Prayer: Holy Spirit, the All Consuming Fire, burn away all that makes me cold. Let every fiber of my being cry, “Come, Lord Yeshua, reign within me eternally!” Amen.
Reflection: Have I made room for the Spirit’s bridal preparation for the wedding of the Lamb? Am I aligning my heart with God to reflect my Savior’s face before the dark and dying world?
