Divine Whispers | by Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Creation of Companionship

Dearest Bride of My Son, hear the heartbeat of your Father. When My son, Adam, walked on Earth alone, I looked upon him with kindness and said, “It is not good for man to be alone.” To awaken discernment within him, I formed birds and beasts from the dust and brought them before him. He named each creature, yet none stirred his soul or mirrored the Divine resemblance woven into his frame (Genesis 2:18–25; Luke 3:38).

The Gift of a Counterpart

When no creature could be his chosen companion, I caused him to fall into a deep sleep. From his side, I drew a rib, and with tender care, I fashioned his counterpart. When Adam awoke, he beheld her and cried out with wonder, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh!” (Genesis 2:22). There, in the holy ground of Eden, I established the first covenant of marriage and blessed them: “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth; subdue it and reign” (Genesis 1:28).

Eden: A Divine Sanctuary

But, My child, Eden was more than a garden; it was a Divine sanctuary. Adam carried My image, bore My wisdom, and walked in My Kingdom authority. I appointed him as priest-king to tend and guard that sacred dwelling from every intruder. Similarly, a godly home is called to reflect this Edenic pattern where devotion is spoken, meditated upon, and lived out, guarding every heart with holy reverence (Ephesians 5:22-33; Deuteronomy 6:6-7; 17:19; Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 4:23; Colossians 3:16; 1 Timothy 4:13; Nehemiah 8:8; Revelation 1:3).

The Failure of the Steward

Yet, Adam, My crowned steward, fell silent in his duty. He withheld the safeguards of My truth from Eve, leaving her heart unfortified in My Law. His guardianship of Eden’s threshold faltered, and encroaching darkness found an open gate (Psalm 144:1; Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7; 17). The strength that once flourished in his solitude waned in the comfort of companionship, and so the ancient serpent, watchful, malicious, slippered in through the unattended gates of paradise.

The Serpent’s Deception

Father of Lies, the old snake, despising the Divine image in Humankind, cunningly whispered to Eve, “You will be like God” not in glory, but in rebellion (Genesis 3:5; Ezekiel 28:13–16; John 8:44). Eve, untrained in discernment, opened her heart to the colossal lie. She tasted the forbidden fruit and became an unwitting ambassador of lawlessness, offering it to Adam, not from the serpent’s hand, but from her own (James 1:15).

The Tragic Consequence

And Adam, drawn by misplaced affection instead of obedience, took and ate. In that moment, the radiance covering their body vanished without a trace. They saw their nakedness, felt their glory depart, and entered a degraded world marred by vulnerability and pain (Genesis 3:7–20). What began as a simple conversation ended in devastation.

A Call to Discernment

Beloved Bride, learn from their sorrow. Unlike Eve, you must wield the Sword of the Spirit. Discern every voice. Test every word. Resist every lie. Follow your Bridegroom wherever He leads. Clothe yourself in My whole armor so you may stand, fight the good fight of faith, and conquer the world of darkness (Matthew 10:16; Philippians 1:9–11; 1 John 4:1; 5:4; Ephesians 4:14; 6:11; James 4:7; 1 Corinthians 2:14–15; 1 Timothy 1:5). No longer be like children, tossed to and fro by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching, by cunning and deceitful schemes. Stand firm in My infallible truth (Ephesians 4:14).

Clothed and Ready

So shall you, the radiant Bride, be ready, matured by the dawn of My wisdom and refreshed by the gentle rain of discernment. Adorned with pearls of knowledge and understanding, let your heart sing praises to Me with joy, and dance in step with My ancient promises, spoken as eternal vows (Revelation 19:7-8; Proverbs 4:18; Hosea 6:3; 1 Corinthians 12:10; Matthew 13:45-46; Psalm 30:11-12).

The Bridegroom Comes

O beloved of the Elohim, arise and stand radiant at the threshold of eternity. Lift your eyes to the horizon and see your King, your Bridegroom, comes on billowing clouds, His arms outstretched, His love transcending the boundaries of Heaven and Earth (Isaiah 11:2; Ephesians 1:17). You are Mine. Be vigilant. Be steadfast. And soon, My beloved, you will be with your Bridegroom and Me forever.

Prayer

O Holy Ghost, train my heart in sacred discernment. Keep me vigilant in truth and unwavering in loyalty. Let my love be sealed by the Voice that never lies. Amen.

Reflection

Have you silenced the serpent or invited his whisper? Let your home become Eden again, a resting place for God’s glory. For the Bridegroom walks the garden still, calling for His wise and diligent Bride.
