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

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah 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 Father of Faith And His Sacrifice

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Gospel Of Christ According To Your Life – (Part 2)

My precious child, before declaring the Message of the Cross to the whole world, behold Abraham, the father of faith (Romans 4:16-17; Hebrews 11:8-19). He never preached great sermons to vast crowds, never stood behind pulpits, never wrote volumes of Theology. Yet his life became the message that echoes through the millennia. 

The Blueprint of Trust

Every preacher who proclaims “by faith” drinks from Abraham’s well—the man who went out, not knowing where he was going, yet pressed on to reach the city with foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God Himself (Hebrews 11:8-10). His silent pilgrimage became the blueprint of trust, and his faith was credited to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:22).

Faith Coursing Through Every Step

Obeying Me, when he departed Ur, not knowing the road before him; when he lifted Isaac upon the altar; when he trusted My promise of countless stars in the heavens and grains of sand upon the shore, his faith coursed through every fiber of his being, vibrant, alive, and unwavering. Every step, every act, was a living declaration that the righteous shall walk by faith in Me to reach their eternal destiny. His very life preached: I am Yahweh-Jireh, the Lord Who provides, the Author of Salvation (Genesis 22:14).

The Heart of the Father Revealed

My Beloved Bride, when Abraham surrendered Isaac upon the altar, it revealed the heart of the Abba Father and Me, His only begotten Son. On Mount Moriah, a ram was provided, but on Calvary, I became the Lamb of God, slain for all. As Abraham withheld not his son, so the Father withheld not Me to rescue you from death (Romans 8:32). I gave Myself on the Cross, so that you might unite with Me forever. This is the Gospel written in My Blood, sealed for you, My Bride. Indeed, the Father laid Me down at the Cross, that whoever believes in Me should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).

Isaac: The Willing Sacrifice

Remember Isaac, My beloved (Genesis 22:6-10). He bore the wood for sacrifice upon his shoulders, as I would bear the Cross. Few words he spoke, yet his yielding to his father’s will painted the living portrait of Me—quiet, meek, and obedient, like the Lamb. About Me, it is written: “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).

Isaac’s stillness upon the altar mirrored My crucifixion and resurrection, while the ram I provided became a living sign of Me, the Passover Lamb destined to be slain to rescue fallen Humanity. Mount Moriah foreshadowed Mount Calvary, where provision and redemption were made complete. Together, Abraham and Isaac revealed the depths of the Heavenly Father’s heart and My obedience as His Son, Yeshua, Seh HaElohim, the Lamb of God.

As Abraham received back his son, so have I risen, victorious over death, for you. And as Rebekah was brought to Isaac by Abraham’s faithful servant Eliezer, so the Holy Spirit brings you, My beloved Church, to Me. The servant’s mission was singular: to find a bride for his master’s son. So My Spirit seeks true worshippers. He awakens you by My Word, calls you by name, and brings you to Me, the Bridegroom Who awaits you like Isaac waited for Rebecca (Genesis 24:61-67).

The Altar of Trust

My Precious One, I am not asking you to understand every road I lead you down—I am asking you to trust the One Who holds your hand through every unknown (Proverbs 3:5-6). Like Abraham, your silent obedience writes volumes; like Isaac, your willing surrender mirrors My own journey to the Cross (Philippians 2:8). This is the Divine romance of faith: I give you impossible promises, then ask you to lay them on the altar, only to prove I am Yahweh-Jireh—the God Who always provides (Genesis 22:14). Your willingness to surrender what you love most reveals you love Me more. And in that sacred moment, Heaven and earth collide, and your life becomes a living testimony that echoes through eternity: He is faithful. He is good. He is enough (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Prayer

My Faithful One, give me Abraham’s heart—to walk by faith when the path is hidden, trusting You lead me home (Hebrews 11:8). Let my obedience become Our love song, each step of surrender a verse that echoes through eternity (Genesis 22:18). I place my Isaac on the altar, knowing You withheld not Your Son for me, Your beloved bride (Romans 8:32).

Reflection

Like Abraham, I journey not knowing the way, but knowing the One who holds my hand through every wilderness (Isaiah 41:13). My Bridegroom asks for the altar, not to take but to prove His provision—every sacrifice becomes a meeting place with Yahweh-Jireh (Genesis 22:14). In this divine romance, faith is not blindness but the deepest intimacy—trusting His heart when I cannot see His hands (Proverbs 3:5-6).

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.

Soaring on Eagle’s Wings: A Spiritual Ascension

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | by Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Cross: Love’s Ultimate Revelation

Beloved daughter of Mine, at the Cross, My Son Yeshua stretched His arms wide, unveiling the unfathomable dimensions of My eternal love, its height, depth, length, and breadth, etched upon His crucified body. At that sacred moment, eternity bled into time, and love’s greatest measure was poured out from Heaven to Earth.

After His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, I crowned Him with many crowns, enthroning Him as the King of Glory. Before Him, all creation must bow to worship Him, Who is worthy to receive every honor and praise. Amen (Psalm 2:6; 29:2; 96:9; 121:1; Acts 2:33; Hebrews 2:7; Revelation 5:12–14).

The Bride’s Divine Ascension

To follow Yeshua, your Bridegroom, is to ascend higher enduringly, to breathe the fragrance of His holiness and inherit His Divinity and Glory (Matthew 6:13; Hebrews 4:9–11; Lamentations 3:24; Psalm 16:5–11). Empowered by His Spirit, you must humbly rise from the dust on the wings of His grace, soaring like an eagle over all evil that revolt against you (Psalm 91:4; Isaiah 6:1–3).

With nail-pierced hands, Christ is sculpting His Church, a glowing Bride called to reign with Him in the celestial sphere forever (Matthew 16:18; John 12:32; 1 Thessalonians 5:23). Like eagles shedding old feathers and renewing their strength, the beloved of the Lord endure seasons of pruning through tests of faith. Yet they are lifted higher in honor while patiently waiting for their Deliverer.

Divine Discipline and Transformation

I discipline My children by enlightening their inner man to deny themselves and reflect Yeshua’s heart, thus qualifying them to live a higher spiritual life (Matthew 11:28–30; Philippians 3:14; Isaiah 40:31; 2 Peter 1:2–3; Romans 8:13–14). The indwelling Spirit reveals the deeper thoughts of My heart to you like a rushing wind, cleansing, uplifting, and rescuing you from every dark pit of compromise and despair (Ephesians 2:8–10; 5:26; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:13).

By faith and hope in My eternal purpose, the Bride rises from the grave of dead works to be seated with Christ in the heavenly places (Psalm 40:1–3; 61:2). Let the Bride ascend with Elijah’s blazing passion, not through the shadows of death, but by the whirlwind of Glory, lifted in chariots of fire, rising into the realms of Heaven where mortality surrenders to the God of Eternity.

Catching the Divine Wind

My beloved, remain loyal to Christ because His testimony about you becomes the warm wind beneath your wings. Following the Spirit and Word, you will gain the thrust to rise like eagles catching Divine thermals, gaining momentum to soar into destiny’s heights (Hebrews 11:5; Jude 1:17–22; Colossians 1:23; Isaiah 61:1; Numbers 27:18; 2 Corinthians 3:18).

But those who grow cold, casual, or complacent remain grounded, never tasting the exhilaration of life lived in the higher altitudes of the Spirit.

Warnings Against Earthbound Living

Therefore, the cherished Bride must resist the gravity of flesh and sin by yielding to the upward pull of her Bridegroom. I am warning you all: do not become lovers of self or enslaved people chasing worldly ambitions. Flee from boastfulness, arrogance, defiance, and disobedience. Depart from all that is ungrateful, unholy, reckless, and driven by momentary pleasures.

Dissociate with those who carry a form of godliness but deny its power, lest you be deceived and imprisoned by the evil ways of the perishing world (2 Timothy 3:1–9; Galatians 5:16; Romans 1:21; 8:13; Titus 1:16; Matthew 23:27–28).

The Tragedy of False Spiritual Leaders

Some ascend to leadership within the Church driven by selfish ambition, and they disown My purpose for expanding My Kingdom of Light on Earth. Tragically, deceiving themselves, and taking a wrong direction, they reach the dark destination, as did Saul, who was enthroned by the people’s desire but later rejected by God (1 Samuel 13:14). Like Judas, they betray their Master with unrepentant hearts. False disciples quickly trade their Adonai for mere thirty silver coins.

So never grieve the Holy Ruach, Who pilots your spiritual ascent, or you will be doomed (Jude 1:11–16; Romans 12:1–2; Jeremiah 17:5; Galatians 1:8–9; 1 Corinthians 16:22; 2 Peter 2:1–3; Jude 11; James 5:1–6). Do not remain earthbound. Beloved, arise and shine to soar, lest you be disqualified from reaching your eternal destiny (Isaiah 60:1; Matthew 25:34; Psalm 19:14; 91:1-4; Revelation 22:11–14).

The Transfigured Bride

The devoted Bride consecrates herself daily by yielding to My Spirit’s voice to gain superhuman strength, overcoming the adversary. Thus she shall take off, climb higher, and fly faster, defying the gravity of mortality (Psalm 19:14). The radiant Bride who diligently lives a higher spiritual life will be transfigured in the blink of an eye when her Bridegroom returns. He will receive His devoted Bride, pure and ready, and will enthrone her beside Him eternally (Psalm 139:23–24; 1 Corinthians 11:27–31; 15:51–52; Job 13:23; Isaiah 40:31; 2 Corinthians 13:3–5).

The Divine Summons

So lift your eyes above the mortal dust. The wind is rising, and the clouds are parting. The Spirit is calling. The Bridegroom stands ready. Precious lady, fly, beloved eagle—fly!

Prayer 

Father, take me higher with You above the powers of sin, fear, and weariness. Consume what keeps me earthbound and Abba, You robe me in Your Glory. Make me soar as the Bride ready for the return of her Lord and King Yeshua.

Reflection

Am I rising on the wings of the Spirit or sinking under self? Have I embraced the fire that purifies or resisted the call to go higher? The higher spiritual life belongs to those who ascend under the wings of the Almighty with total dependency on their Adonai.

the eternity of eternities to the end of Human chronology. 

Sanctus of the Lord God Almighty 

Holy, Holy, Holy

The Nazarene Whom Nazareth Despised

Posted on by V J Traven

Divine Whispers | by Viju Jeremiah Traven

The Savior of the world was born as the King of the Jews. Yet, He arrived veiled in the flesh, wrapped in humility as the Good Shepherd searching His lost sheep. He was raised in Nazareth, a Galilean town among the Gentiles who knew little of Israel’s God. He lived unnoticed and silent for thirty hidden years under the roof of Joseph and Mary, walking in perfect obedience.

Then, one day at the Jordan River when John baptized Him, the Heavens tore open, and the Father’s voice thundered, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased,” while the Holy Spirit descended like a dove (Matthew 3:13–17).

From that day, the Kingdom of Heaven invaded the Earth. Crowds flocked to Him. His wisdom confounded the wise. The blind saw, the deaf heard, the mute sang, the lame danced, and the dead rose. Christ moved with authority, mighty in word and deed, yet He kept Himself guarded, knowing the deceitful Human hearts surrounded Him (Luke 24:19, Jeremiah 17:9; John 2:24).

Envy kindled in the legalistic and religious elite. The Jewish priests and Pharisees, fearful of His authority, sought to silence Him, to quench the Spirit of Might that moved through Him. Though multitudes marveled at His grace, their jealous leaders burned with scorn and conspiracy.

In Nazareth, His own people could not grasp how God’s glory could manifest in a Nazarene. When He opened the scroll of Isaiah and declared, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing,” rage erupted. They drove Him out, attempting to cast Him off the cliff (Luke 4:19–29). 

Yet, passing through their midst, the Prince of Peace remained unshaken, rejected but gentle, for patiently forging His Bride for His eternal wedding. Later, an entire city begged Him to depart even after witnessing His power and authority (Matthew 8:34). Others scoffed: “Isn’t this the carpenter, the Son of Mary? Are His brothers not here with us?” (Mark 6:2–5). 

When He cast out demons, the Pharisees accused Him of operating by the head of demons, Beelzebub (Matthew 12:24). Even His own mother and brothers thought He was insane (Mark 3:20–22, 31–32; Matthew 13:54–58). A prophet without honor, He bore rejection with Sacred restraint. It is written: “The stone the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone” (Matthew 21:42; Isaiah 28:16). 

Wounded by betrayal and pierced for eternal love at Calvary, the Nazarene ransomed His cherished Bride. The Father perfected our Deliverer through the agony He suffered for our sake, completing redemption’s grand design at the Cross (Hebrews 2:10). Therefore, God elevated Him above all thrones and dominions, bestowing the unsurpassed Name, Yeshua, the Lord, and Messiah, our Rock of Salvation and eternal Bridegroom (Philippians 2:9; Acts 2:36).

Prayer:

O Abba, I embrace Your wounded love—the Holy Nazarene Who was rejected for redeeming His Bride. Help me to remain co-crucified with Him; fill me with His resurrection power until all can see it is not I but Christ Who lives in me. Amen

Reflection:

In every step, the Bride must recognize Christ everywhere, in lowliness, unexpected faces, and humble places like Nazareth. Let us not stumble over the Cornerstone. May our hearts, not just our lips, become sanctuaries of worship adoring Christ, the eternal Bridegroom.
