Divine Whispers | by Viju Jeremiah Traven
My beloved child, the Bride of the Lamb, as I stretched forth the Heavens and laid the foundations of the Earth, I established not only stars and seas but a Divine culture, a Heavenly mandate woven into creation itself. The law of sacrificial love and obedience descended as the rhythm of Eden, sustaining abundance in the Garden of delight. In Adam and Eve, My image and likeness shone as a reflection of My glory. I blessed them to be fruitful, to multiply, to subdue the Earth, and to reign over all creation as the bearers of My eternal legacy (Genesis 1:1, 26–27; 2:16–17; 9:1; Colossians 1:16).
But through disobedience, the old serpent’s venom entered the soil of Humanity and parted them from the heavenly culture. The celestial order was stolen, and carnal corruption spread like wildfire. The deceiver sowed his weed into Eve’s naive heart, harvesting rebellion and mortality. Through Adam’s fall, death came in, and My Divine order on Earth was overturned. The world became enslaved to futility, and all creation groaned under the gravity of corruption. And an animal, a shadow of My Son, the Restorer of love and obedience, was sacrificed, and its skin covered the nakedness of Humankind (Genesis 3:1–21; 6:5; James 1:15; Romans 5:12; 8:20–22; 1 John 3:8).
So, I sent the King of Heaven, the Firstborn of all creation, as the Savior of all sinners on Earth. Through His obedience unto death, He glorified Me and restored the lost heavenly heritage on Earth. He bore My wrath against all sinners, and He endured man’s hatred of His Divinity. Upon the Cross, He shed His Holy Blood, reclaiming love and obedience as the brand-mark for all who follow Him as their Lord and King. Through His obedience to My will until His death, the dominion of darkness is shattered, and My Kingdom values are re-established on Earth (John 3:16–17; Romans 3:25–26; 5:18–19; Colossians 1:13–14; 2:14–15; Galatians 3:13; Acts 2:23–24; Hebrews 9:14–15; Revelation 5:9–10; John 13:34–35).
The Definition and Development Of Culture
My child, any Human tradition is nothing but the shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that a group of people use to interpret their world and relate to one another, transmitted from one generation to the next through learning rather than biology (Mark 7:8-9; Matthew 15:3; Colossians 2:8; 2 Timothy 3:5; Titus 1:14). For the one born anew, immersed in the Divine Culture, is driven by deep convictions of faith in the Gospel, convictions that submit to My authority and stand firm against every evil, as a warrior clothed with My whole armour (James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:6-7; Psalm 119:11; John 14:15; Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 6:11-12; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; Acts 4:31; John 6:63). It shapes values, conduct, devotion, speech, priorities, and relationships. In the Kingdom of Light, culture is formed within believers by the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the example of Christ (Colossians 3:16–17; Philippians 3:20).
The Call To A Higher Culture
Enoch was called to walk with Me three hundred years on Earth, as a true citizen of Heaven. Flood destroyed every soul who lived a sinful life, but I called Noah and his family in the Ark to rekindle My Kingdom culture on Earth (Genesis 5:22–24; 7:23). The Spirit of the Lamb of God was slain before the world was formed. It reflected the willingness of the Spirit of My Son to redeem the Earth with His Blood and restore the culture of sacrificial obedience in Heaven if Adam breaks the law in Eden. After Noah, when life on Earth became dark, I had to impart the Spirit of the Lamb of God, Who was slain, on someone who would follow the example of Yeshua’s love and obedience to Me (Genesis 6: 11-12; 8:21; John 1:29; Romans 8:9; Matthew 24:37-39; 2 Peter 2:5).
So, I called Abraham, the faithful pilgrim, to represent My heart and lay down his son Isaac upon the altar of sacrifice, a test of love, a vow of submission. Through his willful surrender, he became the Father of faith, and a torchbearer for the coming Kingdom, where sacrifice is crowned in glory and love reigns in eternity. Elijah, My zealous prophet, lived on Earth, the culture of Heaven until the end, and I lifted him to unite with Me in a chariot of fire (2 Kings 2:9-11; Revelation 13:8; 22:3–5; 1 Peter 1:20; Romans 4:11–12; 12:1; Genesis 22:1–12; Hebrews 10:10–12; 11:8–10; 17–19; James 2:21–23; 5:17; Matthew 25:34; 2 Timothy 4:7–8; 1 Corinthians 13:13; Colossians 3:1–3; Galatians 5:16–25).
Rebellion Drains Out The Kingdom Culture
Eve forgot the Word of the Creator and was deceived by the tempter
Adam disowned his Divine nature and became a sinner (Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12)
From the first father arose a sinful culture, and death gained its power (Genesis 3:17–19)
Its curse spread wide, releasing ruin, sorrow, and disaster’s dominion (Romans 8:20–22)
Cain, consumed by envy toward his righteous brother
Spilled innocent blood and became the first murderer (Genesis 4:5-8)
Noah lay drunk and naked, covered in shame
A spoken curse echoed forward, igniting generations aflame (Genesis 9:21–25)
Lot’s wife looked back, longing to capture the last sight of Sodom’s lust
She turned to a pillar of salt, a monument to divided sight (Genesis 19:26)
Lot, overcome by wine, forgot both truth and name
And Moab was conceived in compromise, born of disgrace and shame (Genesis 19:30–33; 37)
Sarah doubted God, letting haste eclipse His Divine call
Hagar bore Ishmael, faith mingled with the flesh’s fall (Genesis 16:2; Galatians 4:23)
Judas loved silver secretly, desire ruling his heart (John 12:6)
Till he betrayed Christ and played the traitor’s part (Matthew 26:14–16)
Thus Scripture testifies where desire outruns obedience
When sight overrules trust, rebellion masquerades as convenience (Proverbs 3:5)
Seeds of sin sown in secret mature and reap harvests of disastrous consequences (James 1:14-15)
Thus, Adam’s descendants journeyed through history, living 400 years in slavery in Egypt, until I parted the Red Sea and set them free. Then they wandered the desert for forty years, being purified from the rebellious nature they had developed, so they could embrace My Divine culture before entering the land of Canaan. Still, among twenty-five lakhs of Israelites who crossed the Red Sea, only two souls gained My Kingdom character to enter the promised land (Exodus 14:21; Deuteronomy 8:2–3).
Worldly culture rebels against My will, but those who become My Kingdom, intentionally delight in My perfect will (Romans 8:5–7; 12:1-2; 2 Peter 1:4; Ephesians 4:22–24). Religious rituals or mere knowledge fail to develop the essence of My heritage. Human tradition is born of mortal logic, lust, and fleeting emotion, but My Son purchased every culture, tribe, tongue, nation, and people with His Blood. Those appointed to eternal life are reborn, not of flesh or Human striving, but by My will. My Spirit awakens in them the morals of Heaven above, shaping their hearts to worship Me in Spirit and Truth. So, then souls can call upon Me as their Abba Father (Romans 8:15; 12:2; 1 John 2:15–17; Revelation 5:9; Acts 13:48; John 1:12–13; James 1:18; John 3:3–6; Philippians 3:3; John 4:23–24; Galatians 4:6).
The Redeemer of Heavenly Culture
Yet remember, Lucifer, the one who perverted the culture of love and obedience in Heaven with haughty pride and rebellion, and was subsequently cast down. The same Satan paraded earthly glories and asked My Son to bow before him to reown it from him. The tempter was seeking to overturn Heaven’s order, which Yeshua brings on Earth through His death (Isaiah 14:12–15; Ezekiel 28:12–17; Matthew 4:8–10; 2 Corinthians 11:14; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 12:7–10).
His wicked scheme was to block the birth of My sons, to silence the Holy Bloodline of obedience that flows from the Cross of Christ (Colossians 1:15-20; Revelation 1:5; Hebrews 1:6; Romans 8:29). He thought to steal, kill, and destroy My plan, to thwart My supreme reign. But the Lamb of God triumphed through His sacrifice, redeeming you from the rebellious and demonic culture. My decree stands unshaken, to restore what was lost and bring light where darkness ruled (Luke 10:18; Matthew 4:8–10; Revelation 5:9–10;11: 15; 12:9–11; Hebrews 2:10; John 1:12–13; 29; 1 John 3:8; Matthew 6:10; 1 Peter 1:18–19; Colossians 1:13–14; 1 Peter 1:18–19; Isaiah 61:1–3; Romans 8:21; Romans 8:21).
Thus, Yeshua, the only Savior of sinners, taught His disciples to pray to Me: “Let Your Kingdom come, let Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.” This prayer is a summons into a higher heritage, the ethos of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. It is Heaven’s culture invading Earth, overcoming the civilization of sin and death, and reopening My abundant ways of life for all nations and ages (Matthew 6:10; Romans 14:17; Colossians 1:13; Ephesians 2:1–2; John 10:10; 1 John 5:19; Revelation 21:1–3).
The Transformation Begins in the Mind
My child, you cannot cultivate Kingdom culture by adhering to worldly ways of thinking. It is like building a house upon sand that sinks with every storm. Belief systems and values are the foundation of a legacy. Every tribe, family, and person carries a culture of their own, but only a born-again soul renewed by My Spirit can disown his carnal nature and progressively develop My Divine nature (Matthew 7:24–27; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22–24; Galatians 5:16–25; John 3:3–8; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Romans 8:29).
When the second son, worn and wayward from chasing sinful pleasures, repented and returned home, the Father ran to embrace him with overflowing grace and kissed him with tender mercy. But before entering the house, father adopted him back and clothed his son in the robe of righteousness, placed the ring of promise upon his finger, and set the sandals of love upon his feet, reminding him to walk in faithful obedience. For the Father longed for his son to turn away from the evil culture and, by the renewing of his mind, to regain the Divine culture of the house (Luke 15:11–32; Ephesians 2:4–5; Isaiah 61:10; Galatians 3:26–27; Colossians 3:9–10; Romans 8:15–17; 12:1–2).
My cherished child, led by the Breath of My Spirit, a great awakening will erupt within your humble soul, unveiling My Kingdom’s radiant rule in you. Just as Yeshua encountered Zacchaeus, and called him by his name, the corrupt tax collector’s heart was swiftly transformed to restore what had been broken inside of him (Luke 19:5–6). But the reformation of your inner life begins as you get deeply rooted In My love. It unfolds more as you grow, like oaks of righteousness replanted by streams of living water, steadfast through every season, bearing the enduring fruit of the Spirit every day. The leaves of such fruitful trees in My Garden will heal the sick and hurting cultures of the nations (1 Corinthians 3:6–9; Isaiah 61:3; Psalm 1:3; 92:13; Galatians 5:22-24; Revelation 22:2).
Surrender to My living Word and the renewing fire of My Holy Spirit; let your attitude and lifestyle be recast, for only then will you shine with the majestic likeness and glory of My unchanging culture. I, the Eternal Gardener, rejoice in your spiritual growth and steady blossoming in all circumstances (Luke 19:1-10; Psalm 1:2-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Romans 12:2; Titus 3:5; 2 Corinthians 3:18).
Embrace The Redeemer For The Reformation
When a girl gets married, she has the culture of her father’s house, but for a great marriage, she must forget her people and their traditions to merge with the culture of her spouse to form a great new family (Psalm 45:10). Therefore, I am seeking true worshipers who kiss the Son and adore His glory to become a new creation carrying My radiance. Thus, the betrothed Bride on Earth will unite with Christ and become one Spirit with Him (John 4:23-24; 1 Corinthians 6:17).
Your unceasing dependency on Me is the key to accessing My power to deaden the dictates of the mortal flesh. Strip away the dark heritage of sin through your daily living sacrifice, holy and pleasing in My sight (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Colossians 3:9-10; Ephesians 4:22-24; Romans 8:13). Seeking, knowing, and doing My perfect will, you offer your body as a living sacrifice, an offering made to honor the dying sacrifice of My Son. To restore His Kingdom Culture in Humanity, Yeshua, the King, died and rose again. Therefore, to embrace His Holy culture forever, you must renounce the mortal ways at every step, dying daily, that Christ may be fully formed in you (1 Corinthians 15:31; Galatians 4:19; Colossians 3:5).
Thus by the power of His resurrection, you recover the heavenly culture of sacrificial love and obedience that was lost in Eden’s fall. Continue to delight Me with thanksgiving, pouring out your heart of worship to the Author of your Salvation until you see Me face to face (Romans 12:1–2; Psalm 2:12; 17:15; 50:14–15; Ephesians 5:2; 1 Peter 2:5; Genesis 3:17–19; Hebrews 13:15; Revelation 5:9–10; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 John 3:2).
What Was Missing and Is Now Restored
Long for the eternal climax of My Kingdom culture, the wedding feast of the Lamb. Without this, the Bride has no horizon for celebrating her hope of glory. Kingdom culture is all about the diligent preparation of the Bride for eternal union with Christ, her King. All devotion, all adoration, all reformation, all acts of worship finds its consummation in the wedding of the Lamb, where Heaven and Earth become one in My Kingdom of Light (Revelation 19:7–9; 21:1–3; Matthew 25:1–13; Ephesians 5:25–27).
Prayer
Abba Father, strip me of every earthly culture that resists Your will. Plant me by Your living streams until I endlessly bear the fruit of Heaven. Prepare me as a spotless Bride, burning with love for Christ and celebrating Your Kingdom culture.
Reflections
The Kingdom culture is not learned but born, not of man but of God. Transformation is slow, yet every surrender waters the root of eternity. My daily worship is not mere routine; it is a rehearsal for the glorious wedding feast.
