The Curse of Murmuring and Complaining

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

My Beloved Bride, let us examine a poison that consumed an entire generation: murmuring. It disguises itself as harmless speech. It calls itself venting. It pretends to express disappointment. Yet Heaven sees deeper. Scripture unveils murmuring as rebellion clothed in casual words. It is the language of a thankless heart. It ultimately speaks against God Himself.

Israel’s Fatal Flaw

Israel did not fall by idols alone. They fell by their tongues. The people complained, and it displeased the Lord (Numbers 11:1). What they called frustration, God named rebellion. The Spirit testifies: The tongue is fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body, corrupting the whole person, setting the whole course of life on fire, and itself set on fire by hell (James 3:6). What begins as a whispered complaint becomes a consuming blaze. It scorches faith. It burns unity. It destroys destiny.

The Source Revealed

My Beloved, I asked: How long will these people reject Me? (Numbers 14:27). It speaks with a Human voice. Yet Heaven sees its true face. It is the key to darkness. Through it, the demonic realm opens. Rebellious thoughts flood in like waters through a broken gate. These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires, using flattery to gain advantage (Jude 1:16). They thought it was a shortcut to success, but they ended in a curse.

The Darkening of Hearts 

Although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him. Their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened (Romans 1:21). When gratitude departs, darkness enters. When praise ceases, the heart hardens. They became darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts (Ephesians 4:18). 

Ingratitude is the first step toward spiritual blindness. Murmuring completes the descent. The Light broke into the world, exposing truth and offering life. Yet Humanity loved darkness more, because darkness concealed what the light would reveal (John 3:19). Every complaining word draws the curtain against Heaven’s light. Every murmur builds a wall between the soul and its Savior.

The Doorway to Ruin

What sounds reasonable often becomes the quiet doorway to ruin. When the tongue burns without restraint, it exposes a heart that has ceased to trust God. In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength (Isaiah 30:15). To refuse rest in My promises does not make you strong. It makes you restless, weakened, yet destructive.

The Devouring Mouth

A soul that will not trust will murmur. A mouth that speaks without faith becomes a devourer. Paul warned: If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by one another (Galatians 5:15). The murmuring mouth feeds on itself. It starves while it consumes. James exhorts: Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge above all stands at the door (James 5:9).

From Frustration to Rebellion

Frustration spoken without faith becomes rebellion in God’s ears. It spreads like wildfire through a camp. It leaves an entire generation standing in ashes where promise once waited. Hence, Moses told complaining Israelites: You are not murmuring against us but against the Lord (Exodus 16:8).

My child, they tasted manna from Heaven yet despised it with their words. They walked under glory-clouds yet questioned the Lord Who led them. The Apostle warns: Do not grumble as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer (1 Corinthians 10:10).

The Swift Judgment

Few sins invite such swift judgment. Murmuring opens the door to the destroyer. Murmur dethrones gratitude. It enthrones unbelief.

The Wilderness Generation: A Cautionary Tale

Consider Israel, delivered from Egypt by mighty signs and wonders. The Lord split the Red Sea before them. Its walls stood like sentinels of mercy. Pharaoh’s armies drowned behind them, swallowed by the very waters Israel crossed in triumph. By day, the Lord led them with the cloud. By night, with fire above. Never withdrawing His presence for a moment (Exodus 13:21–22).

Destroyed by Words

Yet within days, evil murmuring began. The whole assembly of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness (Exodus 16:2). Not a few voices. The entire assembly rose as one. Every soul. Every tongue. Lifting accusations like smoke choking the desert air.

The Bitter Cry

Their cry was bitter and brazen: If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! (Exodus 16:3). They romanticized bondage. They glorified slavery. They called captivity “comfort.” There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, they said. They preferred full stomachs in chains more than freedom from slavery.

The Great Reversal

In their words, deliverance became cruelty. Unbelief Twisted the Truth. Provision became neglect. Even as He rained bread from Heaven. Even as God gave them water from the rock (Exodus 16:4; Exodus 17:6). The Promise Keeper became the Accused. They tested the Lord: Is the Lord among us or not? (Exodus 17:7).

Mercy Became Malice

What God called redemption, they renamed a death march (Exodus 20:2). This time, unbelief twisted mercy into malice. Salvation into suspicion. Their mouths reversed Heaven’s verdict. They refused to believe His Word but grumbled in their tents (Psalm 106:24–25).

The Power of Words

My Beloved, recall what I said: By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned (Matthew 12:37). Those who are called are justified (Romans 8:30). They are rescued by faith that dares to speak aloud. With the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one professes faith and is saved (Romans 10:10). Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13).

Faith Finds Voice

Faith finds its voice: Paul said: I believed; therefore I have spoken (2 Corinthians 4:13). The Blood of the Lamb secures victory. The word of testimony enforces it. Thus, the saints overcome the evil one (Revelation 12:11).

The Tragic Exchange

They had crossed the sea, yet Egypt still spoke through their mouths. Though the Lord had triumphed gloriously, casting horse and rider into the sea (Exodus 15:1, 21), their hearts turned back to old Egypt (Acts 7:39). Their feet were free. But their souls still bowed to the memory of bondage.

Glory for Grumbling

The wilderness echoed with a tragic exchange: Glory for grumbling. Promise for protest. Inheritance for insult. They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe God’s promise (Psalm 106:24).

The Peril of Murmuring

This is the peril of grumbling: it causes the redeemed to speak like the unredeemed. They forgot what their Redeemer did for them, and forget that death and life are in the power of their tongue (Proverbs 18:21). It causes the delivered people to crave for chains of slavery. Disowning their Deliverer, they said: Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt (Numbers 14:4).

Do Not Harden Your Hearts

The Spirit warns: Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion (Hebrews 3:15). Grumbling hardens the heart. It blinds the eyes to glory. It turns freedom into a mere memory.

The Lie of the Wilderness

My Beloved, the path grows steep. You paint your prisons as glittering gold. You call your chains “security.” You name your slavery “the good old days.” The Israelites said: We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost (Numbers 11:5). You forget I delivered you. You forget your Deliverer. You remember what you lost. You have rejected the glorious promises I have given you.

Between Slavery and Promise

The wilderness stands between slavery escaped and promise not yet possessed. You open your mouth. Not in worship, but in accusation. Not in thanksgiving, but faultfinding. You questioned Me: Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us die in the wilderness? (Exodus 17:3). You do not trust the Lord Who brought you out of four hundred years of darkness. You charge Me with bringing you out to die in the desert (Numbers 14:2).

I Make Ways

My Beloved, do you not know? I make ways where there are none. I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of Egypt (Psalm 81:10). I split the waters for you. I rain bread from Heaven. Man ate the bread of angels (Psalm 78:25). Every step through this barren place, I am with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Follow Me in the Wilderness

Your tongue can wound your own soul. Trust Me in the wilderness. I am leading you home. Beware the lie that the wilderness is the destination. The Psalmist said: He led them by a straight way to go to a city where they could settle (Psalm 107:7). The wilderness was only a passage to promises.

The Voice of Destruction

Beware the deceiver’s voice that says God brought you out to destroy you (Exodus 14:11). Yet the Lord declared: I brought you out of Egypt to be your God (Leviticus 25:38). Beware the poison of a thankless heart: They despised the pleasant land and did not believe His promise, but grumbled in their tents (Psalm 106:24–25).

Gratitude Guards Destiny

My Beloved, remember this: Gratitude guards destiny. Murmuring aborts it. A complaining heart will perish on the way. With most of them, God was not pleased, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness (1 Corinthians 10:5).

Never because God proved untrue. But because they would not trust the Faithful through. Their grumbling hearts denied His grace, and judgment met their bitter face. When unbelief called God unfaithful,
the wages of complaint were awful. 

Kadesh Barnea: The Point of No Return

At Kadesh Barnea, the spies returned with reports of the Promised Land. Ten unbelievers spoke of fear and doubt. Thus, the people’s response sealed their fate: The whole assembly raised their voices and wept aloud. All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and without faith, the whole assembly said: If only we had died in Egypt (Numbers 14:1-2).

God’s Response

God’s response reveals the gravity of irreverent complaint. How long will this wicked community grumble against Me? Say to them: As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say, their bodies will fall in this wilderness (Numbers 14:27-29).

The Verdict

An entire generation died without entering into My promise. Not because of idolatry. Not because of murder or adultery. Because of reckless murmuring.

Why Grumbling Invites Severe Judgment

1. It Questions God’s Character

When we murmur, we essentially declare: God, You are not good. You are not faithful. You don’t know what You’re doing or what we are going through. They spoke against God, saying: Can God really spread a table in the wilderness? (Psalm 78:19). Murmuring reveals what you believe about God. It exposes your faith, or lack thereof.

2. It Reveals Ingratitude

The destroyer comes where thanksgiving has departed. Grumbling flows from a heart that has forgotten God’s past faithfulness and new mercies every morning. Hence, Paul said: Do not grumble as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel (1 Corinthians 10:10). The Scripture warns the Church by pointing back to Israel’s example. This is not merely an Old Testament concern.

3. It Spreads Like Leaven

Senseless complaint is contagious. Murmuring is contagious. It infected the entire congregation. It turned their hearts from faith to fear. From gratitude to grumbling.

Therefore, My Beloved, you do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped generation, among whom you shine like stars (Philippians 2:14-15). Notice the connection: no grumbling equals shining as lights. But murmuring dims your light. It stains your witness. It blocks the flow of blessing into your life.

4. It Opposes God’s Purposes

Every complaint against His providence is resistance against His will. Apostle reminded: These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires (Jude 1:16). Every complaint against His providence is resistance against His will. You cannot complain your way into a great promise. You cannot grumble your way into glory. Remain humble and faithful. 

The Two Who Entered: Joshua and Caleb

Only two men from that generation entered the Promised Land. What set them apart? They had a different spirit and followed the Lord fully (Numbers 14:24). While others murmured, they believed. While others complained, they praised. While others saw obstacles, they saw opportunities.

Caleb’s Spirit

My servant Caleb has a different spirit, and he follows Me wholeheartedly. I will bring him into the land he went to (Numbers 14:24). What was Caleb’s “other spirit”? Faith that spoke blessing instead of complaint. Possibility instead of problem. God’s power instead of giants’ size.

Murmuring Invites Judgment

The earth opened. Serpents struck. The destroyer came. When Israel grumbled about manna, the Lord sent venomous snakes among them, and many died of snakebite (Numbers 21:5-6). When Korah led a rebellion of murmuring against Moses and Aaron, the Earth opened and swallowed them alive (Numbers 16:31-33). Murmuring is not harmless. It invites Divine wrath.

The Apostolic Warning

Paul warns: We should not test Christ as some of them did, and were killed by venomous snakes. And do not grumble as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel (1 Corinthians 10:9-10). He uses Israel’s example as a warning to you. Murmuring brings destruction. Be careful what you murmur against.

A Warning for Today’s Church

We have normalized what Heaven still condemns. Beloved, we live in a generation that has normalized complaining. Social media platforms thrive on grievances. Cultural cynicism is celebrated as sophistication.

Christians murmur bitterly about their devoted Churches and become atheists. Faultfinders, unwilling to confront or correct their own flaws, complain relentlessly against their anointed and devoted leaders. They grumble against their circumstances and against the trials of faith appointed for their growth. They are quick to examine the speck in another’s eye.  But they remain blind to the plank in their own eye.  

That’s why I asked: “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? You must first remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:3–5).

The Antidote: Thanksgiving and joyful praise in All Circumstances

Not only when circumstances favor, but in every moment. The cure for murmuring is rejoicing in the Lord always, even in the sufferings for the sake of righteousness. Radical thanksgiving is the antidote for the venom of the snakebite named grumbling. Thanksgiving is not only when circumstances are favorable. But thanksgiving and praise in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Prison Praise: The Power of Midnight Worship

Disciples unchained themselves by singing hymns; Heaven responded with earthquakes. Paul and Silas demonstrated how to unlock a prison using the key of praise. Their backs were bloody from beatings. Their feet were locked in stocks. Their future looked hopeless. But at midnight, they were praying and singing hymns to God (Acts 16:25).

The Power of Praise and Worship

Their worship in the midst of suffering shook the prison. It broke their chains. It opened doors of salvation. Murmuring would have kept them imprisoned. Thanksgiving set them free. Hence, the Psalmist said: Our mouths were filled with joyful laughter, our tongues with songs of praise, and the nations acknowledged that the LORD had done great things for us (Psalm 126:2).

The Key That Unlocks Gates

My Beloved, when you replace murmuring with praise, you shift atmospheres. You open heavens. You receive a blessing. The psalmist declares: Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4). Thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the gates of blessing. Thanksgiving transforms your trial into testimony. Murmuring turns your blessing into a burden. 

Choose Life: Gratitude Over Grumbling

Murmur makes you weaker, and the joy of the Lord makes you stronger. Will you enter your promise, or die in your wilderness? The choice is made daily through the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart. Keep your lives free from the love of money or fame and be content with what you have, because God said: Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

At the Crossroads

When trials come, and they will, then you shall stand at the same crossroads as Israel. There, you must stand firm. Be led by the Spirit and thus reveal your sonship (Romans 8:14), proving it through the obedience of faith (Romans 1:5; 16:26), walking in Christlike obedience even unto sacrifice (Philippians 2:8), and offering your life as a spiritual act of worship (Romans 12:1-2). Before the challenges of life, will you murmur, or will you worship? Will you complain, or will you trust and sing praise?

Guard Your Tongue

My Beloved child, murmuring is rebellion whispered softly. It corrodes faith. It dishonors the provision. It blinds the Human heart to the Divine purpose and God’s promise. Recalling the rebellion of the Israelites, it is written: How long will this wicked community grumble against Me? (Numbers 14:27). Their feet stood at the edge of destiny. Yet their words chained them to the wilderness.

Holy Ground

My Beloved, guard your tongue as holy ground. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault (Philippians 2:14–15). Gratitude preserves inheritance. Murmuring aborts it. One generation died murmuring at the threshold. Another entered the promise by singing praise.

The Final Word

Choose Words Wisely

Your inheritance listens to your voice.  Guard your tongue. Guard your heart. Always remember: the wilderness is not your destination. It’s only a fading passage. Don’t die there through the poison of murmuring when the Promised Land awaits those who trust and give thanks.

It is written: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever (Psalm 107:1). Choose your words wisely, My Bride. Your inheritance listens to your voice. Let him who has ears to hear, hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. Amen!

Prayer 

Father, cleanse my lips and heart from murmuring, and fill my mouth with laughter to express my thanksgiving and faith. Teach me to trust You in the wilderness and to worship You before the glorious promise appears. Guard my tongue as holy ground, that my words may align with Your truth and glorify Your Name.

Reflection 

Every complaint reveals the flaw in my trust and rest in God. Gratitude is not denial of pain, but faith in God’s faithfulness. Today, I choose worship over murmuring, so I may enter the promise prepared for me.

Why Are The Blessings Delayed? (Part 2)

The Consequences Of Sin and The Redemption

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

My Beloved Child, in Part 1, I revealed to you the sacred mysteries of My Divine timing and how I orchestrate delays for your ultimate good, because I have purchased you and called you as Mine (Romans 8:28-30). Now, with tender yet truthful love, I must unveil the obstacles that sometimes stand between you and the abundant life I have designed for you to bring you back to reign with Me in eternity (John 10:10; Ecclesiastes 12:7).

Your Eternal Position with Me

My chosen one, I will make you sit where I am sitting. For I have prepared a place for you beside Me in My Father’s house, that where I am, there you may be also (John 14:3). Follow Me steadfastly, so you shall be with Me where I am, to behold My glory, the same glory My Father gave Me before the foundation of the world (John 12:26; 17:24).

As I overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne, so will I grant you to sit with Me in Mine (Revelation 3:21). For I have raised you and seated you with Me in the heavenly places, and blessed you with every spiritual blessing that you may see what I see, reign where I reign, and love as I love (Ephesians 1:3; 2:6).

The Nature of Spiritual Barriers

Therefore, these delays are not the delays I impose, My beloved, but barriers you have unknowingly built, for your iniquities have separated you from Me, and your sins have hidden My face from you (Isaiah 59:2). Yet My mercy stands at the gate, longing to break through every obstruction, to wash away every hindrance, until My goodness rushes in like a mighty storm as in the upper Room of Mark (Acts 2:1–2).

You are the temple filled with My Spirit of Glory; as the waters cover the sea, so shall My Holy presence flood your soul. If you show obedience of faith enduringly, My Spirit shall overflow through you as the rivers of life from your belly (1 Peter 4:14; Ephesians 3:19; Habakkuk 2:14; John 7:38; Ezekiel 47:1–12; Revelation 22:1). Break down the walls of doubt and give Me your heart. Therefore, I will enlighten you with My Spirit and Word, and I will destroy the works of darkness and turn your sorrow into dancing, for I withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 30:11; 84:11; John 11:40; 1 John 3:8).

The Weight of Generational Curses

Understanding Generational Consequences

Beloved, I must speak to you about the invisible chains that sometimes reach across generations, binding the present with the sins of the past. When Moses stood before Me on Mount Sinai, I revealed My Divine nature: I am merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Yet I also declared through the Law of Moses that I will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me (Exodus 20:5; 34:6-7).

This is not cruelty but consequence. Sin creates patterns, beloved, patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating that cascade through family lines like poison in a river. When your forefathers bowed before idols and bartered their souls for greed; when they practiced the dark arts, embraced immorality, shed innocent blood, and hardened their unrepentant hearts against Me or My anointed ones, they opened ancient doors through which the shadows of darkness entered their generations (Deuteronomy 5:9; Exodus 20:5).

These doors did not close with their death, for iniquity, once unleashed, continues to affect generations (Exodus 20:5–6; Leviticus 26:39–42). Yet when truth is embraced and confession rises from a contrite heart (Nehemiah 9:2; Daniel 9:4–5), the Blood of Christ redeems the lineage (Galatians 3:13), and the truth sets the captives free (John 8:32).

The Call for Intercessors

Beloved, I searched for one who would stand in the breach, one who would repair the hedge and cry out for mercy upon the land, but too often I found none (Ezekiel 22:30). Yet My mercy endures forever; for those who come to Me through the Cross, I have provided a way to redeem the bloodline and silence the accuser. So Paul wrote: “For Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the Law, Him being made a curse for you” (Galatians 3:13). If you will stand in the place of intercession, confessing the sins of your fathers and turning your heart fully toward Me (Daniel 9:7–9; Psalm 106:6), I will close every door the enemy once entered your house, and I will restore what was stolen.

Christ’s Fulfillment of the Law

My beloved, I came to fulfill what the Law could not fulfill. The Law could reveal sin, but it could not remove it; it could command righteousness, but it could not create it within you. So I incarnated and condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in you through My Spirit, who empowers you to overcome the power of sin and death (Romans 8:3–4). I did not come to destroy the Law or the prophets, but to complete their longing and perfect their shadow in Myself (Matthew 5:17).

For if there had been a Law that could give eternal life, righteousness would have come that way, but abundant life comes only through faith in Me (Galatians 3:21–22). The Law made nothing perfect, but I have brought you a living hope, that through Me you may draw near to the Father’s heart (Hebrews 7:18–19). I am your Righteousness, your Fulfillment, and your Life; what the Law required, My love fulfilled for you through My sacrifice on the Cross.

Your Authority in Christ

When you abide in Me, remember that I have given you power to tread upon serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Thus, whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven (Matthew 18:18). My child, humble yourself to flee from all evil and take your stand in the authority of My Blood, and the darkness that entered through generations shall flee, for you are no longer under the shadow of the curse but under the covenant of My blessing. This is why Paul reminded Ephesians: You are blessed with every blessing in the heavenly realm ( Ephesians 1:3). Hence, sincerely proclaim like Joshua, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15).

My saints overcome the accuser not by their might, but by the power of My Blood, the Blood of the Lamb that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. Through the living testimony of their redemption, and through a love that holds nothing back, even unto death, they silence every voice of accusation. For they stand clothed in My righteousness, sealed in My covenant, and they triumph in My victory as more than conquerors through the One who loves them (Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 12:24; Romans 8:37).

Biblical Examples of Generational Consequences

Consider the house of Eli, My priest, who failed to restrain his wicked sons. I pronounced judgment upon his family: “I declared to him that I would judge his house forever for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, the Father, and he did not restrain them” (1 Samuel 3:13). The consequence of sin rippled through generations, affecting even innocent descendants who bore the weight of their forefather’s utter negligence (Lamentations 5:7; Jeremiah 32:18).

The man born blind in John’s Gospel poses a profound question that your heart may also ask: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:2). While I used that moment to reveal that neither was the cause, I do not deny that generational curses exist. The prophet Ezekiel heard the people complain: “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge” (Ezekiel 18:2).

Individual Responsibility and Divine Redemption

Each soul shall bear responsibility for its own sin; so the soul who sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:20; Proverbs 24:12; Revelation 22:12). However, I also opened a path to freedom through your faith and genuine repentance, that you might live as a new creation with a new heart and a new spirit. For if you are in Me, you are a new creation; old things have passed away, and all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).

I will unfold to you the Mystery of Redemption. I declared, “I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). On the Cross, I accomplished this eternal work, disarming principalities and powers and making a public spectacle of them through My triumph (Colossians 2:15). There, I purchased you with My own Blood (Acts 20:28), reconciling all things to Myself, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace through the Blood of My Cross (Colossians 1:20). As you meditate on how I redeemed you through love’s ultimate sacrifice, you will understand that the Mystery of the Cross is the birth of My Bride.

Remember, from My pierced side came both Blood and water (John 19:34), symbols of redemption and cleansing, by which My Church was formed and sanctified. Therefore, My beloved, prepare yourself as the Bride of the Lamb, clothed in fine linen, bright and pure, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints (Revelation 19:7–8). Let your heart gaze upon the Lamb, Who was slain, yet lives forever, for in beholding Me and following Me, you are being transformed into My likeness with ever-increasing glory (2 Corinthians 3:18; Revelation 5:9–10).

The Call to Repentance and Renewal

Therefore, repent and turn to Me, that your sins may be blotted out, and times of refreshing may come from My presence (Acts 3:19). Walk now in the liberty with which I have made you free (Galatians 5:1), and live as one restored in My image, renewed in the Spirit of Truth (Ephesians 4:23–24). If you choose to walk by faith on My path, My atoning Blood will intercede with the Father on your behalf. For if you confess your sins, I am faithful to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

The Freedom of Holiness

My beloved, I did not redeem you to remain bound, but to walk in the liberty of holiness. As I said to the man whom I made whole, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you” (John 5:14); and as I spoke to the woman forgiven and restored, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more” (John 8:11) so now I speak to you. It is written: For sin shall no longer have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace (Romans 6:14). Let the power of My grace keep you where your own strength cannot (2 Corinthians 12:9), and let My love perfect your obedience (1 John 2:5).

The Redeemer’s Cleansing and Restoration

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like a mist. Therefore, return to Me, for I have redeemed you and justified you to continue doing what is right and sanctify yourself. Hence, return to Me, My beloved, for I have redeemed you and washed you in My Holy Blood. I have justified you to walk in righteousness and to prepare yourself as the flawless Bride for the eternal wedding (Romans 5:9; Revelation 19:7; Isaiah 1:18; 44:22).

It is written, though your sins were as scarlet, they are now as white as snow, washed in the precious Blood of the Lamb (Isaiah 1:18; Revelation 1:5). For where sin increased, grace abounded all the more (Romans 5:20), that you might walk in newness of life, free and reconciled to the Father forever (Romans 6:4).

The Union of Spirit and Truth

Those who unite with the Lord become one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17), for as the Father and the Son are one, so are all who abide in Me made perfect in oneness (John 17:21–23). In this Divine union, your life is hidden in Mine, and My Spirit breathes through yours, until your heart beats with the rhythm of eternity (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3).

As you abide in Me and I in you, you will bear the fruit of My likeness (John 15:4–5). My Word will wash you, My Spirit will renew you, and My Blood will make you whiter than snow (Psalm 51:7; Titus 3:5). For whom I foreknew, I also predestined to be conformed to My image, that you might shine in the beauty of holiness (Romans 8:29; Psalm 29:2).

The Adorning of the Bride

My Beloved, I desire to clothe you in garments of light, woven with righteousness and grace (Revelation 19:8; Psalm 45:13). My Word washes away every stain of sin, and My Spirit burns away every trace of the old nature, that I may present you to Myself as a chaste virgin, pure and radiant in love (2 Corinthians 11:2). Therefore, to the Bride who remains faithful, adorning herself in purity and perseverance until her final breath, I will say: You are altogether beautiful, My beloved; there is no flaw in you (Song of Songs 4:7).

Breaking Free from Ancestral Bondage

The Victory of the Cross

The glorious truth, My child, is that while you may inherit recurring heartaches, you need not remain imprisoned by them, for I came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18). I canceled every certificate of debt that stood against you with its legal demands, nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). And when I cried, “It is finished!” (John 19:30), I broke every generational curse (Galatians 3:13) and opened the way for you to walk in the blessing of Abraham through faith in Me (Galatians 3:14).

The Path of Repentance

Yet freedom requires your sincere cooperation through deep repentance (Acts 3:19). Therefore, seek My perfect will daily and walk in it faithfully until death (Romans 12:2; Revelation 2:10). Bring every hidden thing into the light, for nothing concealed will remain undisclosed before Me (Luke 8:17).

My precious one, you must identify and renounce every chain that binds you, addictions that enslave (Romans 6:16), the poverty mindset that denies My provision (Philippians 4:19), the cycle of broken covenants and divorce (Malachi 2:16), any involvement with darkness or occult practices (Deuteronomy 18:10–12; Ephesians 5:11), the lusts of the flesh (1 Corinthians 6:18), anger and bitterness that grieve My Spirit (Ephesians 4:31–32), pride that blinds the soul (Proverbs 16:18), envy that corrodes the heart (James 3:16), and the love of money that leads many astray (1 Timothy 6:10).

Bring them all into the light of My presence (1 John 1:7), for only in truth and repentance can your freedom be complete, and only in complete obedience can My likeness be formed in you (John 8:31–32; Galatians 4:19). Confess them specifically, not glossing over the depth of the darkness. Declare: “I capture every thought in obedience to Christ, and I renounce every evil consequence established in my family line. I break agreement with every curse, in the mighty name of my Lord and Redeemer Yeshua” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Bride, you can believe and celebrate what I proclaimed: ‘If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed’ (John 8:36). For it is written, ‘Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage’ (Galatians 5:1). Therefore, you walk in the freedom purchased by My Blood, no longer you are a slave to sin, but a child of righteousness, alive in the power of My redeeming love (Romans 6:18; Romans 8:2).

Following Daniel’s Example

Daniel provides a good example for you to follow. Though personally righteous, he confessed the sins of his nation and his ancestors: “We have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from Your commandments and rules” (Daniel 9:5). He identified with his people’s guilt, standing in the gap as an intercessor. Follow his example. Stand as a covenant-breaker of evil covenants and a covenant-maker of holy commitments. Declare that the patterns end with you, that your children and your children’s children will inherit freedom, not bondage (Psalm 112:1–2).

My beloved, also remember My words upon the Cross: when the nails pierced My hands, I looked beyond those offenders’ guilt and said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). In the same way, forgive those who wounded your lineage, for if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive you (Matthew 6:14–15). Release every grievance into My hands, and overcome evil with good (Romans 12:19–21).

For only when forgiveness flows and repentance is complete can the river of My blessing flow without obstruction (Isaiah 59:1–2; Acts 3:19–20). The delay of blessing is not denial, for I am not slow in keeping My promise. Still, patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to profound repentance (2 Peter 3:9). My chosen vessel, I patiently wait for your heart to align fully with My truth, for when obedience is complete, every stronghold will be broken, and the floodgates of heaven will open over you (2 Corinthians 10:6; Deuteronomy 28:1–2).

The curse stops here. The blessing starts now. You are no longer a prisoner of yesterday, but an heir of eternity redeemed, restored, and released by the Blood of the Lamb. What generations bound, the Cross has unbound. Where sin cascaded through your lineage, grace now floods deeper still, washing away every chain and closing every door the enemy once opened.

Stand in the gap as Daniel did. Confess. Renounce. Overcome. Break the cycle of bondage and begin the legacy of blessing, for in Christ, you are not defined by what came before you, but by Who lives within you. From bloodline to Blood-bought, you walk forward as the restored, past forgiven, future secured, present victorious. The generational curse ends where covenant faith begins, and that place is the Cross. Therefore, avow it: “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Chains broken. Doors closed. Blessings opened. You are no longer bound; you are forever free.

Prayer

Father, I come before You in the name of Yeshua, confessing the sins of my ancestors and renouncing every generational curse that has held my family captive. I will follow Yeshua faithfully until death. By the authority of Christ’s Blood shed on Calvary, I break every chain of bondage and declare freedom over my life and future generations. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may walk in righteousness, experience Your abundant blessings, and fulfill the destiny You have prepared for me from the foundation of the world.

Reflection

The sins of our forefathers need not define our destiny, for Christ has paid the ultimate price to break every curse and open the door to abundant life. True freedom begins when we courageously identify generational patterns, confess them in humility, and stand as intercessors who declare that the cycles of bondage end with us. In Christ, we are not victims of our past but victors through His Blood, positioned to receive every spiritual blessing and to pass on a heritage of faith, freedom, and divine favor to generations yet unborn.

Open Hearts and Transformed Lives

Posted on by V J Traven

The Gospel of Christ According to Your Life (Part 7)

Lydia: The Open Heart

My precious child, consider the deepest devotion of Lydia, whose heart I opened to respond to Paul’s message of the Cross (Acts 16:14). She confessed her faith in Me and was immediately baptized in water with her household, then urged My beloved servants: “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house” (Acts 16:15).

The Door to Europe

Her generous invitation represents My Church’s hospitality and immediate response to honor My servants. Her openness and kindness revealed that I am Yeshua HaOchez BeMafteach David, the One Who holds the key of David, the emblem of Divine authority and government upon His shoulder (Revelation 3:7).

Her very life thundered as a living testimony of My Word: I am the Holy and True One, Who holds the key of David. What I open no one can shut, and what I shut no one can open (Revelation 3:7; Isaiah 22:22). Lydia stood as the open door to Europe for Paul’s Ministry of Reconciliation. She was the first convert on new soil, the foundation stone of the devoted Philippian Church, and a witness that God’s reconciling love transcends every boundary. Lydia’s life also revealed I am Yeshua, Ha Delet, the Door (John 10:7-9).

Zacchaeus: The Transformed Tax Collector

See Zacchaeus, that little man who eagerly climbed a tree to get the best view of Me (Luke 19:1-10). When I called him down, his actions spoke louder than any lesson about profound repentance: “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount” (Luke 19:8).

True Repentance in Action

This transformation of the tax collector is of the deepest measure: not mere words, but actions that repay and restore what was wrongfully taken from others. Behold! True renewal of the mind, forsaking love for money—the root of all evil—to please Me sincerely. It is no mere act of duty, but a living sacrifice, roaring worship, revealing the fruit of repentance. His transformation and restoration proclaim to all Heaven and Earth: “I am Yeshua Go’ali, the Redeemer of souls, the Restorer of all things.” For when a life is yielded upon the altar of mercy, it becomes a living testimony of Divine renewal (Romans 12:2).

The Path of Transformation

All of My devoted saints will see My glory with unveiled faces. As they faithfully follow the Spirit of the Lord, they will be transformed into My image, going from glory to greater glory and from grace to greater grace (2 Corinthians 3:18). I take hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh, molding them through the refining fires of faith until they radiate with the beauty of redemption (Ezekiel 36:26; 1 Peter 1:7). The good work I begin in anyone, I will bring to completion, for I, the Lord, have called that soul by name; that soul is Mine (Philippians 1:6; Isaiah 43:1).

The Testimony of Grace

Every believer transformed by grace becomes a living testimony of Heaven’s power upon Earth. Behold, the Great “I AM” still breathes life into dust and revives what was once lifeless (Genesis 2:7; John 20:22). He still turns the ashes of your sorrow into beauty crowned with joy, and binds up every fracture of the heart until it shines with wholeness (Isaiah 61:3; Psalm 147:3).

The Promise of Redemption

I still redeem what the world calls lost, for the Son of Man came to seek and save the perishing (Luke 19:10). I still whisper, “You are Mine, I have redeemed you” (Isaiah 43:1). Through My Blood, the chains of condemnation are shattered, and grace flows like a river, washing the soul in radiant freedom (Ephesians 1:7).

So now, as you yield upon the altar of mercy, be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for the Spirit of the Lord is shaping you from glory to glory, until your life mirrors His image and your breath proclaims His Name (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18).

The Confession of Surrender

The truthfully repentant soul confesses with trembling and joy that I am the Creator of all that exists, the Owner of all that is, and Savior of all that was lost (Genesis 1:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Luke 19:10; Ephesians 1:7). In their surrender, they proclaim the ancient truth: “The Earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1).

Timothy: The Faithful Son

Remember Timothy, My loyal son (Philippians 2:19-22). While others only sought their own interests, he sacrificially cared for the welfare of My Church. Paul testified: “I have no one else like Timothy, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Yeshua. But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father, he has served with me in the Gospel.”

Living the Gospel Before Preaching It

When others abandoned their God-entrusted duties, Timothy’s gentleness and faithfulness demonstrated the Church’s call to sacrificial care. He practiced the Gospel before he rose to preach it. So he denied himself, took up his cross, and fulfilled his call to bless others. Timothy’s servant heart revealed: I am Yeshua, El ha-Moser, the God Who Entrusts (1 Thessalonians 2:4; Numbers 27:16).

The Widow’s Mites: The Wordless Message

My beloved: though the widow who offered her two small copper coins never uttered a word, I gathered My disciples to learn from her silent sermon on sacrificial devotion—giving not from abundance, but from poverty, holding nothing back (Mark 12:41-44; Luke 21:1-4). “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.”

The God Who Sees

Her sacrificial offering represents the Church’s complete dependency on Me. The eyes of the Lord pierce the heart. He sees the heart of the giver, not the size of the gift. Her faithful offering in her famine reveals that her Lord beholds hidden tears and serene obedience. I honor the faithful, rewarding not by measure, but by the depth of love and trust. Through her humble, faithful act, she proclaimed Me, Yeshua Ro’eh, the God Who sees, the Rewarder of hearts, the One Who counts even the hairs of your head and notices every unseen devotion (Genesis 16:13; Hebrews 11:6; Luke 12:6–7).

The Immediate Yes

My Beloved Bride, I am looking for hearts like Lydia’s, open the moment I knock at the door (Revelation 3:20). I am searching for lives like Zacchaeus’s, transformed the instant grace arrives (Luke 19:9). I am seeking servants like Timothy’s, faithful when others abandon their post (2 Timothy 4:10). I am honoring offerings like the widow’s, small in human eyes but enormous in Mine (Mark 12:43).

The Divine Romance of Obedience

This is the Divine romance of immediate obedience: I open hearts, and you respond without delay; I call your name from the tree, and you come down rejoicing; I entrust you with My people, and you care for them sacrificially; I watch your offering, and you give everything (Acts 16:14-15; Luke 19:5-6; Philippians 2:20; Mark 12:44).

Heaven’s Measure vs. Earth’s Measure

The world measures by abundance; I measure by surrender. The world applauds platforms; I reward hiddenness (Matthew 6:1–4). The world seeks the spectacular, but I delight in what is unseen, the quiet strength of sacrificial obedience. For what men praise as greatness often fades like mist, but obedience births eternal fruit (1 Samuel 15:22; Luke 16:15).

The Path of Humility

As I humbled Myself in perfect obedience unto death, the Father exalted Me above all (Philippians 2:8–9). Therefore, walk humbly with Me (Micah 6:8), and your secret surrender will shine brighter than the loudest display (Matthew 6:1).

Open your heart. Climb down from the tree. Serve My people. Give your last coin. For in the Kingdom of Heaven, the first shall be last and the last first, and those who lose their life for My sake will find it eternally abundant (Matthew 19:30; 16:25).

Prayer

Open my heart, Lord, as You opened Lydia’s—responsive, generous, eager to honor those who serve You (Acts 16:14-15). Transform me like Zacchaeus, from grasping greed to extravagant giving, proving true repentance by restored relationships (Luke 19:8). Make me faithful like Timothy, caring for others with Your compassion, and sacrificial like the widow, holding nothing back from You, my Beloved King (Mark 12:43-44).

Reflection

I am the one whose heart You opened, whose life You transformed, whose sacrifice You honor above all earthly treasures (Acts 16:14; Mark 12:43). This intimacy with You demands everything and gives infinitely more—the Bridegroom Who died for me deserves my wholehearted devotion (2 Corinthians 5:15). Like Lydia’s open door and the widow’s last coins, my life becomes the offering that ushers in Your Kingdom (Acts 16:15; Luke 21:3-4).

The Obedience of Faith: A Silent Sermon

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Gospel of Christ According to Your Life (Part 6)

My redeemed Bride, remember the boy who carried five loaves and two fish for lunch among five thousand hungry souls. He proclaimed no words recorded in Scripture, yet his quiet offering preached the greatest sermon on the obedience of faith. While the disciples calculated impossibility, this child humbly placed his lunch box into My hands. His silence spoke of trust beyond reason; his wholehearted surrender declared that nothing is too small for the Master’s purpose. Yes, his generosity pleased Me and exalted Me as the God of Wonders.

He did not announce his gift or boast of his sacrifice; he gave what little he had and watched Me multiply it beyond human imagination. Quietly, he proclaimed that I am Yeshua, Lechem HaChayyim, the Bread of Life, Who satisfies every hunger. His humble act of faith, blessed by Me, fed multitudes and filled twelve baskets with abundance.

The boy’s wordless worship whispered what the world still needs to hear: When placed in the Savior’s hands, the smallest offering becomes sufficient for the greatest need (John 6:5–13; Matthew 14:13–21). He unveiled Me as El Marbeh, the God Who exceedingly multiplies what is surrendered to Me, according to My perfect will (Genesis 17:2).

The Woman with the Issue of Blood: Silent Faith

Consider the woman who reached out and touched My garment, unwavering in faith, believing that I am her Healer. Her faith broke through every barrier, and her touch called forth the healing power of Heaven upon the earth (Mark 5:25–34).

Twelve years of suffering could not silence her belief. She said within herself, “If I can only touch His garment, I will be healed.” I called her “Daughter,” revealing how I receive all who reach out to Me, not merely for healing, but for union with their Healer; not for gifts, but for the heart of the Giver Himself. Blessed are those who come with holy desperation to receive Me first; for in Me flows the abundance of life eternal (Luke 8:48; John 6:37; 10:10; 17:3; Matthew 6:33).

Remember, you are saved by grace through faith in Me! This is the essence of the Gospel she preached without words. Her quietness declared: I am Yeshua Rapha, the God Who Heals (Isaiah 53:5).

The Power of Small Surrenders

My precious child, you look at your five loaves and two fish and think, “What difference can this make (John 6:9)?” But I am not asking for what you don’t have; I am asking for what, when, and how you first surrender your heart to Me with deep devotion (2 Corinthians 8:12; Proverbs 23:26; Deuteronomy 6:5; Joel 2:12–13). The boy’s lunch fed thousands because he placed it in My hands. The woman’s desperate touch released healing because she believed My power was enough (Mark 5:34).

This is the secret of Divine romance: I accept and bless your small and make it significant, your broken and make it beautiful, your nothing and multiply it into abundance (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Stop Doubting or Waiting, Start Surrendering

“Stop waiting until you have more to offer,” says the Lord, “for I do not measure worth by magnitude, but by surrender. Have I not said, ‘She, out of her poverty, gave all she had’ (Mark 12:44)? And did I not take five loaves and two fish and multiply them to feed multitudes (John 6:9–11)? Stop believing the lie that your gift is too insignificant.

For I delight in the small that is placed in My hands. Did I not declare, ‘Who dares despise the day of small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). Regarding offerings to God, it is written: ‘For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, not according to what he does not have (2 Corinthians 8:12).’

The widow’s mite, the boy’s bread, Moses’ stammer, David’s sling, each became mighty when yielded to Me. Therefore, bring to Me wholeheartedly your little alabaster box, and I will breathe upon it My greatness. For when your weakness is placed in My strength, the impossible becomes possible, and the ordinary, miraculous.

One day, to the faithful, I will say: Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many’(Matthew 25:23; 1 Corinthians 12:22; 2 Corinthians 12:9).

Hidden Acts, Heavenly Rewards

Beloved, when you give, let it not be to attract the gaze of men, but to please the eyes of your Father, Who sees in secret. Do not seek the applause of the crowd or the praise of the pious, for such honor fades like morning dew. Rather, let your giving be a whisper between your heart and Mine. Give quietly, without trumpet or display, for the worth of your deed is not measured by its noise, but by its motive (Matthew 6:1–4).

For I, the Lord, do not look at the outward appearance, but at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Every act born of love is noticed in Heaven, even when unseen on Earth. What is done in secret, I will reward in My light. Work not for Human approval, but as one serving Christ the Lord (Colossians 3:23–24). For I, Who see the hidden, will openly bless those who honor Me in humility (Proverbs 21:2; Colossians 3:23–24; 1 Samuel 16:7).

Your Little in My Hands

My beloved, bring Me your lunch box. Reach for Me through the multitude who do not offer their hearts to Me. With sincere faith, come and touch the hem of My garment. I am the God who specializes in converting small surrenders into impossible multiplications (Matthew 19:26). 

In My hands, your little becomes limitless. In My presence, your lack becomes overflow. Give Me what you have, beloved, to glorify Me, and watch Me feed multitudes through your obedience to the voice of My Spirit (John 6:11–13).

Prayer

My Master, I place my five loaves in Your nail-scarred hands, trusting You multiply what little I possess (John 6:9). Though my offering seems small and my faith feels fragile, teach me that nothing is insignificant when surrendered to You sincerely (Matthew 14:19). Let me reach through the crowd with desperate faith, knowing one touch of Your garment brings complete healing and eternal peace (Mark 5:28).

Reflection

The boy gave his lunch; the woman touched His hem, both discovered the secret of eternal romance: intimate surrender unlocks infinite power (Mark 5:34; John 6:11). My Bridegroom takes my nothing and makes it enough, my brokenness and makes it beautiful, my weakness and displays His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). I am the beloved who comes with empty hands and leaves with overflowing baskets—this is grace, this is love, this is Him, Ben Elohim(John 6:12-13).

Mary Magdalene: The Passionate & Fearless Witness

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Gospel Of Christ According To Your Life (Part 5)

My Beloved Bride, behold Mary Magdalene, My faithful witness and your example (Mark 16:9; John 20:11-18). From her I cast out seven demons, and she became My devoted follower (Luke 8:2). While many disciples fled in fear, she stood steadfast beneath the Cross until I surrendered My Spirit to the Father of Glory (John 19:25). On the third day, in the early morning darkness, she came to the tomb prepared to minister to Me (John 20:1; Luke 24:1).

Love Stronger Than Death

Her zeal to see My face and hear My voice again blazed like a deer panting for living waters (Psalm 42:1). The darkness of night could not deter her. The Roman seal on the tomb could not terrify her. The brutal soldiers could not stop her. For the flame of perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Love is stronger than death itself, stronger than the grave (Song of Songs 8:6).

None on Earth had such perfect love to reach out and find Me near the tomb. Mary Magdalene did not consider her life of any value, except to fulfill the Divine purpose of union with Me (Acts 20:24; Revelation 12:11). Her passion for Me was holy and fierce.

The Reward of Unwavering Devotion

For her unwavering devotion, I, the Rewarder of hearts, appointed her to behold Me first and to declare My Resurrection to the whole world (Hebrews 11:6; Mark 16:9). She stood representing the flawless and fearless Church—My Bride—pursuing Me in every holy step of My mission to save the fallen world (1 Peter 2:21; Revelation 14:4).

She had followed Me wherever I went, ministering to Me, listening, watching, caring, and worshiping untiringly (John 19:25; Luke 8:2–3). Therefore, as the Lamb slain for rescuing sinners, I preserved her as the precious bone of My bone, as the psalm declares: “He protects all His bones, not one of them will be broken” (Psalm 34:20).

The Garden Encounter

Her devotion held Me in the garden near the tomb before My ascension. “Do not hold on to Me,” I said, “for I have not yet ascended to My Father in Heaven” (John 20:17). Mary was the first one I called by name after emerging from the tomb. She was the first to cry out, “I have seen the Lord!” (John 20:18). Her unquenchable devotion on Earth was inscribed forever in the Book of Remembrance in Heaven (Malachi 3:16). Through her courage and burning passion, the Gospel thundered forth: He is risen!

Two Marys, Two Revelations

The Virgin Mary received grace to birth Me on Earth and revealed I am Yeshua, Ben Elohim, the Son of God (John 1:34; Psalm 2:7). She was blessed above all women. But Mary Magdalene became a flame of holy passion and sought Me when darkness fell and terror silenced the rest. To her was granted the highest honor—to behold Me first in My Resurrection (John 20:17). Her humble spirit first kissed the Risen Messiah. Her holy hunger and thirst for Me revealed I am Yeshua HaChatan, the Bridegroom.

She was honored above the angels to be My first herald of the glorious Gospel.

The Call to My Bride

So shall you rise, My Bride—a living witness to My glory, a light that darkness cannot overcome, a voice that declares My triumph forevermore.

Mary Magdalene teaches you the language of Divine romance: relentless pursuit (Song of Songs 3:1-4). While others fled, she stayed. While others hid, she sought. While others doubted, she dared to remain near the tomb in the darkest hour (John 20:1). And because she loved much, she was given much—the first glimpse of resurrection glory, the first utterance of her name from My risen lips, the first commission to proclaim: “He is alive!” (John 20:16-18).

What I Reward

This is what I delight in, My beloved—not in your religious perfection, but in your spiritual pursuit; not in human flawlessness, but in steadfast faithfulness born of a heart ablaze with repentant love and unyielding longing for Me (Luke 7:47; Psalm 51:17; John 21:17).

Come to Me in your midnight. Seek My face in your garden of grief. For those who pursue Me with Mary’s heart will hear Me call their name in resurrection power, and they will become My first heralds of hope to a world entombed in darkness (John 20:16).

I am your exceedingly great reward, says the Lord of Glory. Not crowns, nor kingdoms, nor fleeting applause—but My very Self, given to the one who loves Me. For I am both the Giver and the Gift, the Portion and the Promise, the Desire and the Fulfillment of all your endless longing (Genesis 15:1; Philippians 3:8; Revelation 21:7; 22:20).

Prayer

My Risen Lord, give me Mary’s relentless love—a heart that seeks Your face even in the darkest garden, even when hope seems buried in the tomb (John 20:1). Let my devotion be so fierce that death itself cannot silence my worship, so pure that I am the first to hear You call my name in resurrection dawn (John 20:16). I will follow You to the Cross, wait at the tomb, and run to tell the world: He is risen! (Mark 16:9).

Reflection

I am Magdalene—delivered, devoted, desperate for His presence above all else, and He rewards such love with the highest honor (Luke 8:2; John 20:17-18). This is the heart of Divine romance: perfect love casts out all fear, and the bride who pursues hardest beholds Him first in glory (1 John 4:18). I stood at Calvary when others fled; now I stand in resurrection light, proclaiming to all nations—my Beloved Lord lives! (John 20:18).

The Alabaster Box: A Love Letter To Your Bridegroom

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Gospel Of Christ According to Your Life (Part 3)

My precious vessel of glory, My beloved bride, do you remember Mary of Bethany? Let Me tell you why her act moved My heart so deeply, and why I declared, “Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Matthew 26:13; Mark 14:9).

She Chose the Better Part

While “Martha was cumbered about much serving” (Luke 10:40), Mary boldly chose to sit at My feet in quietness, drinking in My words. “Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). She understood what others missed, that I was worth more than the busy work of serving, worth more than the approval of those who couldn’t understand the profound devotion of Mary.

She Understood the Hour

There comes a moment in every life when love demands extravagance, when devotion breaks every box of “reasonable” worship. Mary alone perceived that My death was imminent. With “ointment of spikenard, very costly” (John 12:3), she came, not with words or lectures, but with prophetic action. I told them, “She is come beforehand to anoint My body to the burying” (Mark 14:8). She didn’t wait until it was too late, until My lifeless Body was sealed in a tomb. She anointed Me while I could still feel her tears, while I could still breathe in the fragrance of her sacrifice.

She Gave Everything Without Counting the Cost

“Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment” (John 12:3). That alabaster box represented her future, likely a year’s wages, her inheritance, her security. But “she broke the box, and poured it on My head”(Mark 14:3). The breaking was intentional, irreversible, extravagant. Once broken, it could never be sealed again. There was no careful measuring, no holding back, only reckless, abandoned love.

She Loved Without Calculation

Judas protested: “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor” (John 12:5) ? The disciples were indignant at Mary. But I silenced them all: “Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on Me… She hath done what she could” (Mark 14:6, 8). Not what others expected, not what seemed reasonable to the calculating mind, but what love compelled, what the heart demanded.

I also told them, “For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but Me ye have not always” (Mark 14:7). Mary understood the kairos moment, the appointed time when eternity breaks into chronos moment, when what matters most must take precedence over what merely matters.

Her Worship Spoke Louder Than All Words

She didn’t preach or lecture, yet “the house was filled with the odour of the ointment” (John 12:3). Her extravagant sacrifice became a life-changing sermon that still echoes wherever My Gospel is preached. She unveiled Me as Yeshua, Moshi’a HaOlam, The Savior of the World. For it is written: “Thy name is as ointment poured forth” (Song of Solomon 1:3), and “we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish” (2 Corinthians 2:15).

The Alabaster Moment

My darling bride, I am not looking for your leftovers but your alabaster, the most precious thing you possess, broken and poured out in agape. In this sacred romance, there comes a moment when love demands extravagance, when devotion breaks every box of “reasonable” worship and pours out everything without counting the cost.

I ask you what I asked Peter: “Do you love Me more than these” (John 21:15)? The world will always cry “Waste!” when you pour out your life for Me. They will calculate what else you could have done with your time, your talents, your treasure. But I am keeping account differently. What seems extravagant to them is “a sweet savour” to Me (Ephesians 5:2).

Mary represents you, My bride, in your worship and devotion. She sat at My feet when others were distracted. She anointed My feet when others plotted My death. She broke her alabaster jar when others held back with nothing. And when you worship like this, and hold nothing back, the fragrance doesn’t just fill the room; it fills Heaven.

Come, beloved. Break the box. Hold nothing back. Pour out your most precious offering at My feet. Let your worship be so abandoned, so complete, that all of Heaven takes notice and the whole house is filled with the fragrance of your love.

For I held nothing back for you. Paul said: “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered His Son up for us all, how shall the Abba not with Christ also freely give us all things” (Romans 8:32)? I gave My life as a ransom for you. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). It is written: “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

Break the Box

Break the box you’ve earned, My beloved. I am worth it all. For “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21). And your love affair, will rise as a memorial, “a sweet smelling savour unto God” (Ephesians 5:2). What you pour out in faith will not vanish into the Earth, but will ascend as “incense” before My throne (Revelation 8:4), perfuming every season of your life and echoing through eternity.

The spikenard you labored to purchase, the alabaster you break in Spirit and Truth, this becomes your “memorial before God” (Acts 10:4). For “she hath done what she could” (Mark 14:8), and so shall you. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) But I say to you: With all your heart, love God, and break your box, for this is the whole desire of My heart.

Come now. The hour is late. “The night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4). But while you still have breath, while I am still speaking to your heart to proact or react, pour out everything. Hold nothing back. “And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13).

Break the box, beloved. Let the fragrance fill the House of Glory. Let Heaven breathe in your worship. And let all who witness say, “She loved her Lord so much” (Luke 7:47). Your Bridegroom, forever calling you to the alabaster moment “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name”(Hebrews 6:10).

Prayer

My Jesus, let me break every alabaster box at Your feet, pouring out the costliest treasure of my wholehearted love (John 12:3). May the fragrance of my devotion fill every room I enter, declaring You alone are worthy to receive extravagant worship (Psalm 45:8). I choose the better part, to sit at Your feet, to listen to Your voice, to love You without reservation or regret (Luke 10:42).

Reflection

I am Mary, and He is my everything, the One worth every drop of precious oil, every moment of intimate adoration (Philippians 3:8). In this sacred romance, worship is not duty but delight, not obligation but the overflow of a heart utterly captivated by Love Himself (Song of Songs 1:3). My Bridegroom receives my offering and immortalizes it, wherever the Gospel is preached, our love story is told (Matthew 26:13).

Love’s Valor Conquers The World

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Whisper That Broke Eden’s Peace

Beloved Bride, precious treasure of My heart, hear My words. I created the first man bearing My image and likeness, brilliant with wisdom and crowned with authority. No creature upon Earth could match the first Adam’s understanding. Yet he fell into deception by choosing to listen to his companion’s voice of ignorance rather than his Creator’s Word of cognizance (Genesis 3:17). The first woman’s whisper transformed him into one who transgresses the law, leading him into catastrophe.

Job’s Unwavering Faith and Heaven’s Approval

But in later generations, there emerged a man of purity and perseverance—Job. When disaster flooded his household and his body was afflicted with pain and disease, his wife, crushed by sorrow and soul-deep bitterness, became a voice of darkness, pressing him to blaspheme against his God and die. Yet Job, wrapped in sacred faith, rebuked her foolishness born of hopelessness. He proclaimed his faith in My sovereignty, saying: Naked came I and naked I shall depart. The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. In steadfast devotion he declared the wisdom of truth.

Heaven’s Testimony of Job

Before calamity could strike, I had declared him blameless and righteous, a soul destined to live by faith and to triumph over the world through unwavering trust in Me (Job 1:1; 21-22; John 16:33; 1 John 5:4; Habakkuk 2:4). My beloved, My heroes of faith counted not their lives dear to themselves, but pressed on to finish their race and fulfill My Kingdom’s purpose (Acts 20:24).

With hearts ablaze, they ran toward the eternal prize, overcoming the adversary by the Blood of the Lamb and their testimony, holding nothing back, not even life itself (Revelation 12:11). Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses it for My sake will find true life (Luke 9:24). Therefore, no greater love exists than to lay down one’s life, and in this surrender, they revealed love’s supreme glory through obedience to Me (John 3:16; 15:13).

Job declared, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him” (Job 13:15), a fearless, burning confession of faith that triumphs over death itself. Even when life was stripped bare, when suffering pressed like a crushing storm, Job anchored his soul in Me, and I knew it before calamity struck. I heard his heart constantly chanting: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me” (Psalm 23:4). A steadfast trust that no darkness could overcome, a faith that defied the power of death itself.

The Cross and the Greater Redeemer

The Father sent Me to the Cross to ransom your soul from death. My sacrifice in your place justifies you through faith, and My Word consecrates you to behold My face and partake of My grace. Thus Job, in steadfast hope, declared, ‘I shall see my Redeemer with my own eyes,’ and by this faith he shattered the power of adversity (Job 19:25–27; Romans 5:1; John 17:17; 24).

Job’s Tenderness Toward His Wife

Job demonstrated his tenderness toward his wife. He protected his wife from My anger, correcting her promptly with words of endurance and profound understanding (Job 2:9–10), so she might overcome the anguish of a mother who buried her all her ten children. Later, Paul reminded, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Yeshua also loved the Church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by His infallible Word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious Bride, without a spot or wrinkle”(Ephesians 4:15; 5:25-27; Job 1:13–19; Job 2:7; John 13:1; Romans 5:8; Lamentations 3:22–23). Adam listened to his woman’s voice and faced judgment (Genesis 3:17).

Job declared to her, “You speak as a foolish woman speaks. Should we receive good things from God’s hand and refuse to accept hardship?” (Job 2:10). Paul reminded the Philippians: For to you was granted for Messiah’s sake not only to trust in Him, but also to suffer for His sake experiencing the same struggle you saw in me and now you are hearing in me (Philippians 1:29-30).

Job had the deeper devotion and to enduringly overcome struggles. So He gained the wisdom to correct his wife. “Those whom I love, I rebuke and chasten, therefore be zealous and repent” (Revelation 3:19). And Scripture teaches, “If someone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness, keeping watch on yourself” (Galatians 6:1). Moreover,

Severed from Adam, United with Christ

My Beloved, just as a newborn’s umbilical cord must be severed for the infant to breathe independently, so you must be freed from your previous existence to live in holiness. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). My precious one, when you embraced the infallible Gospel and trusted in My name, I granted you the authority to become God’s child, “born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13). You are no longer chained to Adam’s corrupted lineage. You have been completely joined to Me. You have been promised to Me to display the depth of your love toward Me.

Abandon What Holds You Captive

Beloved, reject every sinful loyalty that robs your dedication. Escape the wicked customs that suffocate truth’s knowledge; break free from cultural bonds and inherited allegiances that imprison you in darkness. Remove the carnal mindset and allow your heart to be transformed by understanding and practicing My flawless will. As My follower, embrace your cross to pass through the doorway of resurrection existence; persevere with purity and steadfastness.

Extend compassion to all Humanity, for in showing mercy you will receive mercy, just as Job has received mercy. Battle the noble fight of faith: remain firm. Fight not against people, but against the evil forces that seek to rob, destroy, and deceive. Clothe yourself with My spiritual warfare’s armor; oppose the tempter and remain with Me inseparably. Remember: persistent love is the blade that shatters hatred. Love those who despise you, and you will conquer the world as I have conquered (1 Timothy 6:12; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8–9; Ephesians 4:22–24; 6:12; Colossians 3:5–10; 2 Corinthians 6:14–18; Luke 14:26; Mark 8:34; James 4:7–8).

Calculate the Price of Our Bond

“If anyone comes to Me and does not depart the corrupt nature of his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own sinful life, he cannot be My true disciple” (Luke 14:26). Beloved, to unite with Me means continuously presenting yourself as a living offering, putting My pleasure first, exactly as Job demonstrated (Romans 12:1-2; Job 1:22). Cherish your family deeply, as Job cherished his grieving wife, pardoning the broken spouse with kindness, while imparting hope and training her in righteousness (1 Peter 3:7). Therefore, reject every false doctrine and every demonic activity that divides you from Me (2 Corinthians 6:15).

For genuine commitment requires that nothing, whether family, culture, religion, or tradition—takes precedence over your allegiance to My calling and mission (Luke 14:26; Deuteronomy 6:5). To love Me above all else is the fountain of pure love for everyone else (Romans 5:8–11; John 3:16). Remember, at Calvary I was separated from My godly mother and My heavenly Father so I could redeem you with My Blood at the Cross (John 19:25-27). I bore that sacrificial separation to make you My Bride, bringing you into harmony with God the Father (2 Corinthians 3:17). Therefore, demonstrate love’s courage to accomplish the Divine calling and work toward your Salvation with reverence.

Love’s Authentic Character

My treasured one, this reveals love’s true appearance, not emotion that binds you, but imperishable Truth and amazing grace that frees you. This is love’s bravery, the strength that defeats the tempter and liberates you completely to fulfill your calling as a faith warrior. Come to Me, My bride. Allow Me to free you from everything that prevents the completeness of our unity. Perfect love will cast out the spirit of fear.

The Victory of Resurrection Love

In death’s silence, I carried humanity’s death and burial in My body, to rescue your spirit, soul, and flesh. And on the third day, through the Father’s Spirit of Glory, I emerged from the grave to give birth to My eternal Bride, bone of My bone, Spirit-birthed, completing the mystery recorded from Eden to the New Jerusalem. Therefore, you are joined with Me, bone of My bone, spirit of My Spirit (Romans 8:3–4; Genesis 2:23-24; 1 Corinthians 6:16–18; Ephesians 1:7; 5:31–32; Revelation 21:2, 10; Romans 5:8; 8:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; Philippians 3:10; John 3:5-8).

The Crown Kept for the Crucified

As your Lord and Savior, I surrendered Myself to give you everlasting life, conquering the tempter, defeating principalities, and destroying death through My sacrifice at Calvary (Colossians 2:15; 2 Timothy 1:10). But listen carefully, beloved: unless you refuse yourself, abandon the idols of corrupt culture, false religion, and empty worship, you cannot obtain the power that transforms your fallen Human nature and makes you a brave faith warrior. I crown only those who die to live My life. Only through self-denial, through the testing fire of the Cross, will you emerge perfect, released from earthly bonds, completely Mine (2 Timothy 2:11–14; John 16:33; 1 John 5:4; Matthew 16:24–25; Luke 14:26; Revelation 12:11).

The Holy Romance of Following

True discipleship creates an ongoing celebration of holy romance with Me, the One Who first loved you with eternal love. But be warned: evil companionship corrupts noble character; sinful influences weaken devotion’s fire (1 Corinthians 15:33). Remember Adam’s downfall when the serpent crept in and transformed Truth into poisonous conversation with Eve (2 Corinthians 11:3).

The Desert Confrontation

Guided by the Spirit, I faced the same ancient serpent who deceived Eve. Remember this, beloved: temptation is not failure; for every faithful follower, it becomes the testing ground of your loyalty to Me, which finally brings you to triumph (Luke 4:1). To launch My Kingdom Ministry after My incarnation, for forty days I fasted and prayed, until hunger consumed My body. Then the tempter approached and attempted to deceive Me with his wicked commands to satisfy My hunger. Next he presented stolen kingdoms if only I would worship him. But Heaven’s Prince will never bow to Hell. I rebuked him harshly, and he retreated, humiliated and defeated.

The Blade That Quiets the Serpent

Your love’s true courage drives you to surrender at the living sacrifice’s altar, where hearts rise in worship and Heaven’s forces descend to assist you in the battles you face on Earth (Romans 12:1-2; Psalm 25:1; Hebrews 13:15). My Spirit’s Sword silenced the Scripture-distorting deceiver. His plans collapsed; his falsehoods were revealed (Romans 16:20; Revelation 2:16; Matthew 4:1–11). Through the Holy Spirit’s fullness, I defeated the enemy. Therefore, let the Holy Spirit’s voice guide you to demonstrate your sonship daily and triumph over the world victoriously (Romans 8:14; James 4:7).

The Bridegroom’s Love Fragrance

You are the heart of My heart. Like perfume spilled from a shattered alabaster vessel, wherever you travel, bear the aroma of Who I am (Matthew 26:7; Song of Solomon 1:3). Do not surrender to fleshly desires. Submit to My Father’s will, and you will reject the devil’s corruption, and no weapon crafted against you will succeed. You are Mine, and I am yours; with every breath, follow Me faithfully until death and obtain the crown of life (Revelation 14:4; Romans 8:14; John 3:8, 29).

The Bride’s Victory Declaration

Raise your voice, O My courageous Bride, and proclaim: The Cross of Yeshua’s sacrifice is the immovable foundation stone of victory over sin, the pivotal moment of Human history. Always remember, I am the Redeemer, Who empowers you to defeat the tempter. O beloved of the Most High, be vigilant, I am returning soon. So remain radiant. Remain Mine. Let your valor of faith, love, and hope make you worthy to receive the supernatural power to conquer the mortal world and reign with Me forever .

Prayer

O Beloved Lord, bind my heart to Yours. In Your mercy, teach me to overcome the enemy’s cunning whisper. To be Your victorious Bride, make me bold with the Sword of Your eternal Word. Amen.

Reflection

Have you allowed the serpent to speak too long? Close every entrance to the deceiver. Listen instead to the voice of the Supreme Conqueror—Who never wavers, never lies, and never loses. Hold fast to the Truth that sets you free forever.

The Serpent’s Venom And God’s Remedy

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whisper | by Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Serpent’s Envy and the Silence of Eden

My beloved Bride, listen to the profound thoughts of My heart. The ancient serpent despised the Divine reign which I have entrusted to the Human race. Burning with envy, Satan slithered into Eden, uninvited, yet unchecked. Eve, unaware of his malice, opened her ear to his venom.

Eden: Sanctuary of Eternal Fellowship

Against My Law, she believed a lie; in that moment, she forgot who she truly was. She tasted what I had forbidden, and innocence was pierced (Genesis 3:1–6). Eden was not only a garden; it was the sanctuary of eternal fellowship with Humanity and the Triune God. But to dwell forever with Me, Humankind needed to love Me sacrificially, obey My voice faithfully, and eat the fruit of the Tree of Life daily (Genesis 1:26; 2: 8-9; 15- 17; 3:22-24; John 14:15; 23; 17:3; Revelation 2:7; 21:3; 22:2; 14).

The Poison Sown in a Heart

Instead, the adversary sowed his vicious weeds into Eve’s heart, and from her heart he yielded the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, choking the imperishable seed within her soul (Romans 8:6; Matthew 13:7; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 2:16). The fall began not with a single act of disobedience, but with a drifting heart, a quiet turning from My gaze (Hebrews 2:1; 4:1; 12:2; Psalm 34: 15; 121:3–4; 2 Chronicles 16:9).

From Glory into Darkness

Adam and Eve, who once walked with Me in glory, stepped into darkness. The immortal life of My Spirit departed, leaving them with carnal minds and decaying bodies (John 3:36; Ephesians 4:18). Sin dimmed their light; shame clothed them in fear. The flaming sword closed their path, and Eden’s gates were sealed (Genesis 3:24; 6:6; 2 Timothy 2:12).

The Slow Crawl of Rebellion

Beloved, understand: lustful thoughts, when cherished, grow into full rebellion. If you fail to crucify what is lawless, it will lead to your downfall (James 1:13–15). Yet consecration opens a higher way, training your soul in godliness, teaching you to walk in Spirit-led obedience (Proverbs 22:6; 2 Timothy 3:16; Romans 6:13).

The Wound That Echoes Through Generations

Too late, Eve beheld the truth. Her transgression rippled through the ages, a wound tearing through every generation, until I, Yeshua, descended to bind the broken and heal the fallen Humanity (Genesis 3:13; 16-19; 1 Timothy 2:14; Romans 5:12; 17-19). My heart had once delighted in the work of My hands, yet in grief I cried, “I regret that I have made man,” for the beauty of My intention was disfigured by Adam’s fall (Genesis 6:6; 1 Timothy 1:5; 2 Timothy 3:7).

Guard Your Company and Your Counsel

Hear Me, My Bride: evil companionship corrupts good character. You must fellowship only with prayerful people driven by pure motives (1 Corinthians 5:9–10). Even teachings wrapped in Scripture can deceive if the heart behind them is defiled. Spiritual discernment, not charisma and position, is your safeguard. Test every teaching in the light of My purpose. Cling only to what is true, just, honorable, excellent, and heavenly. Even if an angel preaches false gospel, flee from it quickly (Philippians 4:8; 1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Corinthians 2:14–15; Galatians 1:6–9).

The Serpent’s Theft and God’s Promise

The serpent’s poison did not merely cause a fall; it parted souls from My Father’s heart. Humanity, once radiant, became guilty, naked, and afraid (Genesis 3:10; Ephesians 4:18). Through one man’s sin, death entered and began its dark rule. But hear My vow: through My crimson path on Calvary and the triumph of the empty tomb, I have restored abundant life for all who cling to Me. Anchor yourself in My grace and wear the crown of eternal hope (Romans 5:12–15).

Wisdom That Keeps the Heart Humble

Knowledge without reverence for God inflates the Human heart with pride, leaving the soul impoverished and deceived (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10; 3:13-18; 1 Corinthians 8:1; Psalm 111:10; Job 28:28; Proverbs 1:7; 9:10). Therefore, pursue the wisdom from above, for it adorns you with the crown of life (Psalm 111:10; Job 28:28; 1 Corinthians 3:19-20; 8:1; 1 Timothy 6:20-21; Colossians 2:8; James 3:17; Psalm 38:20; Philippians 1:9–11; 3:10).

The Dance of Soul and Savior

True wisdom blossoms not merely in a research study, but in the sacred dance between your soul and Mine. In the communion of Divine romance, My eternal love song leads each step of your faith to your destiny in My Glory. Remember, until the day you see Me face to face and gain what is perfect and immortal, all theological and prophetic understandings remain fragmentary (1 Corinthians 13:9–10; Colossians 2:2–3).

Gazing on the Bronze Serpent is the Remedy

In the wilderness, the people sinned and rebellion burned against Me, and venomous snakes came among them. Many were bitten and died, their cries piercing the dry desert air. Yet I provided a remedy—an object of faith, a symbol of My great salvation: the bronze serpent, lifted high on a pole. Those who looked upon it, believing and trusting in My provision, were healed; their eyes fixed not on the poison, but on the instrument of My mercy (Numbers 21:8–9). In that moment, life came to the dying; hope shone in the midst of death.

Just as the serpent was lifted for their healing, so My Cross is lifted before all Humanity. Those who look unto Me, the Crucified One, are saved, and in Me, the venom of sin and despair is broken forever (John 3:14–15, 1 Peter 2:24, Romans 5:8).

The Call to Return and Cling

So I whisper, I sing aloud My Bride: seek My face, return to Me. Let your heart cling to the wonders of My incorruptible Word (Zephaniah 3:17; Psalm 22:22; Malachi 3:7; Jeremiah 3:12; Zechariah 1:3; Isaiah 44:22). My Cross is the remedy that heals the deepest wounds of fallen Humanity. Let Scripture’s reforming power keep you from repeating the old Human blunders that broke My Father’s heart.

Blessed is the Bride who follows the Lamb wherever He goes, until the day of the glorious wedding feast in Heaven (Revelation 14:4; Psalm 45:10–17; 119:18,129). Arise, beloved of My soul. Let My wisdom adorn you, let My Spirit fill you, and lift your eyes to the horizon. Behold Me coming for you on the clouds. My arms are open, My love unending, and soon you will be in My arms forever.

Prayer

O Spirit of Wisdom, lead me from deception into eternal truth. Help me treasure Your wholesome counsel more than my feelings and opinions (John 14:26; 16:13; Isaiah 11:2). Let my heart burn with love for Your infallible Word. Amen.

Reflection

Have you welcomed whispers that oppose God’s purpose? Test every voice against the voice of the Shepherd. For only His truth preserves the soul and heals the breach.

The Colossal Liar and a Naive Believer

Posted on by V J Traven

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.

The Abba’s Whisper To The Betrothed Bride 

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whisper | by Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Bridegroom’s Eternal Call

Beloved Bride of My Son, hear the voice of My heart. Once, My Son, Yeshua, ransomed the perishing world by His sacrifice on the Cross, that you who believed in Him might inherit eternal life. In Him I have unveiled My very heart, for He is your Lord and your eternal Bridegroom. Heed My call, My child: return to My truth, awaken to My love, and bow your heart in holy reverence to My Son (Song of Solomon 4:8; 8:4; Matthew 25:38; Revelation 3:2; Psalm 2:12; Hebrews 12:28).

The Cross—Heaven’s Love Letter

Through your life, I send forth the Message of the Cross not as a religious doctrine, but as My love letter, written to awaken the hearts which are deceived by the darkest lies of the old serpent (John 8:44; 1 Timothy 2:3–4,14; 2 Corinthians 4:4). Let every veil fall. Let the Bride of Christ arise and shine.

The Gospel—Heaven’s Song of Romance

Behold, the glorious Gospel is Heaven’s love song, awakening every humble heart that seeks Me. My incorruptible Gospel calls you out of darkness and clothes you in garments of purity, preparing you as a spotless Bride for eternal union with My Son. To every soul who receives this Divine proposal, the Bridegroom draws near with His grace (Romans 1:16; Jeremiah 29:13; 1 Peter 1:23; 2:9; Ephesians 5:25-27; John 1:12; Matthew 11:28-29; Hosea 2:19-20).

The Spirit of Grace—Teacher of Holiness

My Spirit of Grace tenderly teaches you to walk in complete obedience. He trains you in righteousness, that you may no longer wound My heart by rejecting the mind of Christ (2 Timothy 3:16; Jude 1:24; Hebrews 12:4; John 8:11; 16:13; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 12:9).

Abraham’s Vision—The Eternal City

Even Abraham, the Father of faith, once beheld from afar the radiant City I am building, My New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ, shaped by My own hands (Revelation 3:12; 21:2; Hebrews 11:10). I call you, My beloved, to inherit Abraham’s faith, preparing yourself day by day for the eternal wedding (1 Timothy 6:12; Revelation 19:7). The hour draws near. Your Bridegroom will soon appear in the clouds to claim you, His beloved Bride (2 Corinthians 11:2; Romans 13:11).

The Blood Covenant of the Bride

Awaken to the covenant written in the precious Blood of My Son. Adore Him with an undivided heart. Follow Him with enduring love. The Bride of the Lamb must mirror His perfect obedience with total surrender and steadfast devotion. In doing so, My Son will reveal the fullness of My glory through you daily (Hebrews 5:8–9; Colossians 2:9; 1 Samuel 15:22; John 2:11; 14:7–13; 17:24; 2 Thessalonians 1:10).

The Bride’s Radiance—Salt and Light

Rise, My Bride. Shine as the light of the world. Preserve yourself as the salt of the Earth. You are marked by My Spirit, written as a living epistle for all who long to know the eternal Truth (2 Corinthians 3:3; John 8:32; Ephesians 1:13–14; Matthew 5:13–14). For the Living Word, Who was with Me and is God, created all things and became flesh to dwell among you, revealing My glory (Hebrews 1:3; John 1:1,3,14; 1 Timothy 3:16).

The Holy Womb of Glory

Yield yourself to the Lamb, My beloved, that His radiance may shine through your earthly form each day. Let your surrendered life become the holy womb where His glory is born. The imperishable Seed, My infallible Word, has been planted within you to birth Divine nature (1 Peter 1:23). Follow the gentle voice of My Spirit in every step, and behold how I, your Abba, lovingly shape you into the likeness of My Son (Romans 8:29; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Matthew 22:29; Galatians 4:19).

The Abba’s Eternal Benediction

Now, My child, hear the blessing sung over you: Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before His radiant presence with exceeding joy, to Him be glory, dominion, and eternal majesty, now and forevermore. Amen (Jude 1:24–25; Titus 1:1; Colossians 1:15; Philippians 3:21). You are redeemed. You are loved. Bride of the Lamb, arise and shine.

Prayer

O Bridegroom King, let Your Word take root in me so that I bear the fruit of the Spirit in all seasons of life and delight the Father in Heaven. Fashion me into Your likeness through the fire of Your love. Keep me spotless for the joy of Your coming. Amen.

Reflection

Have you surrendered fully to the Abba’s gentle voice? Heaven longs to see Yeshua’s image magnified in your heart. Let every day draw you closer to reflect His likeness.
