In “Whisper from the Father,” I share revelations from the Father guided by the Holy Spirit.
By the mercy of our Father God, I have been granted the gift of speaking His words directly. “Whisper from the Father” is a podcast I have been recording daily since July 2021, under the guidance of the Father, with the purpose of sharing His daily intentions for His children.
The content of this program is not prepared in advance. Whenever I press the record button, I do not know what I will say. However, as I begin to speak, the Spirit guides me and makes me clearly understand the meaning of each sentence. I find the words in my heart to express the intentions of Father God and speak them out. Each sentence contains both the revelation from the Father and my own participation. This process feels like the Father is holding my hand and leading me step by step until the day’s content is completed.
I pray that this program will help my brothers and sisters draw closer to the Father and inspire everyone to seek His words, thereby experiencing a deeper and more personal relationship with God. May we all receive guidance and revelations directly from the Father, without the need for intermediaries, and build a profound personal connection with Him.
Note: The voice in this podcast is generated by AI based on my Chinese script rather than being my actual voice. The original recordings were published in “早晨傾聽父的話 Whisper from the Father.”

Living a Life Like Jesus Christ
The Power of Jesus Christ
My children, the great power from heaven has been bestowed upon you, the power that created heaven and earth. With it, there is nothing you cannot accomplish. By collaborating with the Holy Spirit, you partake in these matters and share with me all the glory of the kingdom of heaven. Human desires are rooted in earthly matters, seeking personal glory, but your eyes look to the heavens, contemplating heavenly matters, wishing for the Father’s will to be manifested on earth. The path you walk is the path of Jesus Christ. You see how Jesus acted and you should act in the same way. Everything recorded in the scriptures is true, exemplifying humility, gentleness, self-sacrifice, and love for others, not seeking one’s own benefit, but loving all people. Though you store up nothing for yourselves on this earth, you lack nothing, and in whatever circumstances, there will be peace, for I am all around you, surrounding and guarding you in all things. Everything is in my hands, and you believe that my intentions for you are to grant peace and goodness. Your hearts are cautious, not judging heavenly matters by your own will, so you do not stumble over these things. My children, those who are worldly always cherish themselves, seeking the approval of others and their own glory, and their actions reflect the values of this world and the opinions of people. But you, coming out of such circumstances, do so because of your faith in Jesus Christ. It’s not that your thoughts are more profound or that you are wiser than others, but rather, you turn around like a child, simply following the steps of the Holy Spirit, just as a child follows his father. A child knows his father is powerful, protective, and loving. My children, even a child can walk this path, and all the more so for you, for your assistance is great, and your nurturing is abundant. Your faith in Jesus Christ stems from a revelation from heaven within your hearts, not from human-taught doctrines or persuasions. And the testimony you ought to live out is likewise, for it emerges from your self-denial, bringing to life the heavenly life within you, surpassing human doctrines and even the most clever analogies.
Following the Holy Spirit
My children, the Holy Spirit fosters a tangible life within you, growing within you. This life actively manifests itself, unlike a person who has learned knowledge and still contemplates how to act upon it. For all matters of heaven, you only need to take up your cross, deny yourselves, and this life will actively reveal itself through you, making you the truest witnesses, making others know you as they know Jesus Christ, to hear you as they hear Jesus, and to see you serve others as Jesus served. My children, living in such a way truly glorifies Jesus Christ, not through extraordinary miracles or great deeds, but through genuine fruits. And in even the smallest matters, the Holy Spirit will remember you forever. At the time of judgment, you will have much to boast about, for you have followed Jesus Christ all along this path. You have seen the one who judges the earth, whom you have always followed. Your hearts will rejoice, and you will stand upright before Jesus Christ, blameless. Your inheritance is great, and your glory is immense.

How does our cooperation with the Holy Spirit enable us to partake in the matters of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Our cooperation with the Holy Spirit is essential for partaking in the matters of the Kingdom of Heaven, as it involves both revelation and governance by the Spirit. According to the teachings, the Holy Spirit plays a dual role: He reveals spiritual truths to us and governs our lives through circumstances and guidance.
Revelation: The Holy Spirit provides us with insights and understanding of spiritual realities. As stated in John 16:13, the Spirit guides us into all truth. This revelation is foundational for our spiritual growth and understanding of the Kingdom. Without the Holy Spirit’s revelation, even a believer with extensive knowledge may remain spiritually shallow.
Governance: The Holy Spirit also governs our lives, orchestrating events and circumstances that lead us into deeper experiences of the Kingdom. This governance is not separate from revelation; rather, they work together. When the Holy Spirit reveals truths to us, He simultaneously guides us in how to apply those truths in our lives.
Indwelling Presence: The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a crucial aspect of our cooperation. Romans 8 emphasizes that the Spirit dwells within us, empowering us to live according to God’s will. This presence enables us to experience the life and power of Christ, transforming us into vessels for His work in the world.
Faith and Acceptance: Our faith plays a significant role in this cooperation. By believing in the truths revealed by the Holy Spirit and accepting His governance in our lives, we open ourselves to the fullness of His work. This involves recognizing our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to fill us with His life, strength, and health.
In summary, our cooperation with the Holy Spirit through revelation, governance, and faith allows us to actively participate in the Kingdom of Heaven. It transforms our understanding and empowers our actions, aligning us with God’s purposes and enabling us to manifest His Kingdom on earth.
In what ways can we align our actions and desires with those of Jesus Christ, as described in the scriptures?
Aligning our actions and desires with those of Jesus Christ involves several key principles as described in the scriptures:
Seeking God’s Will: Jesus exemplified a life dedicated to fulfilling the will of the Father. In John 6:38, He states, “I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.” We should strive to seek God’s will in our lives, prioritizing His desires over our own.
Active Choice to Follow: Jesus made a conscious decision to act according to God’s will, as seen in John 4:34, where He says, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” This indicates that aligning with God’s will is not passive; it requires an active choice and commitment to follow His guidance.
Responding to Challenges: In Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus teaches about responding to wrongs with grace rather than retaliation. He encourages us to turn the other cheek and go the extra mile, which reflects a heart aligned with love and forgiveness. Our reactions to life’s challenges should mirror Christ’s teachings, demonstrating His love and grace.
Complete Surrender: The idea of fully committing to Christ’s requirements is emphasized in the teachings about responding to His call. When we respond wholeheartedly to Christ’s demands, we experience true joy and fulfillment. Partial commitment can lead to struggle, while total surrender brings peace and abundance (as discussed in the context of responding to Christ’s requirements).
Living by the Spirit: Aligning our desires with Christ also involves being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This means cultivating a relationship with God through prayer, scripture study, and community, allowing the Spirit to guide our decisions and actions.
Practicing Love and Service: Jesus demonstrated love through service, and we are called to do the same. Acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others reflect Christ’s heart and align our actions with His.
By intentionally seeking God’s will, making active choices to follow Christ, responding to challenges with grace, fully surrendering to His requirements, living by the Spirit, and practicing love and service, we can align our actions and desires with those of Jesus Christ.
How does the concept of self-denial, as described in the text, help us to live out our faith more authentically?
The concept of self-denial, as described in the text, emphasizes that true Christian living is not about harshly punishing oneself or adhering to a strict asceticism that views the body as inherently sinful. Instead, it focuses on a deeper spiritual connection with God through the strength of the spirit rather than the willpower of the flesh.
Self-denial in this context is about recognizing that our strength comes from our relationship with God, rather than from our own efforts to suppress desires or engage in self-imposed restrictions. The text critiques ascetic practices that are rooted in human will and artificial humility, suggesting that these do not effectively address the underlying issues of sin and desire. Instead, it points to the importance of being “crucified with Christ,” which means that through faith, believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This union allows them to live in the freedom and power of the Holy Spirit.
By understanding self-denial as a means of surrendering to God rather than merely suppressing desires, believers can live out their faith more authentically. This approach encourages a genuine transformation of the heart and mind, leading to a life that reflects Christ’s character. It shifts the focus from external rules and regulations to an internal relationship with God, where true humility and holiness are cultivated through the work of the Holy Spirit.
In summary, self-denial, when viewed through the lens of spiritual reliance on God, helps believers to live authentically by fostering a deeper connection with Him, leading to genuine transformation and a life that embodies the principles of faith.
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Christian Life
The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the life of a Christian, serving as a guide, teacher, and source of empowerment. Here are some key aspects of the Holy Spirit’s role:
Guidance and Direction: The Holy Spirit leads believers in understanding God’s will. Christians are encouraged to be sensitive to the Spirit’s promptings, as these lead to a deeper recognition of God’s intentions for their lives. When believers say they do not know God’s will, it may indicate that they are quenching the Spirit’s influence.
Indwelling Presence: Upon accepting Christ, believers receive the Holy Spirit, who dwells within them. This indwelling is essential for spiritual growth and transformation, as it connects them to Christ and enables them to experience His life.
Teaching and Revelation: The Holy Spirit teaches believers and reveals the truth of God’s Word. This is often described as an anointing or “unction” that helps Christians understand and apply Scripture in their lives. The Spirit communicates Christ’s thoughts to believers, allowing them to discern God’s guidance without merely relying on human reasoning.
Empowerment for Service: The Holy Spirit empowers Christians for ministry and service. This empowerment includes the distribution of spiritual gifts, which are meant for the edification of the church and the fulfillment of God’s mission on earth.
Conviction of Sin: The Holy Spirit convicts individuals of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction leads to repentance and a deeper understanding of the need for God’s grace.
Unity in the Body of Christ: The Holy Spirit maintains the connection between Christ (the Head) and the church (the body). Just as nerves in a physical body relay signals and maintain communication, the Holy Spirit facilitates the relationship among believers, ensuring they function together harmoniously.
Assurance of Salvation: The Holy Spirit provides assurance to believers of their salvation and their identity as children of God. This assurance fosters a sense of security and belonging in the Christian faith.
In summary, the Holy Spirit is integral to the Christian experience, guiding, teaching, empowering, and uniting believers in their walk with God.
Following the Path of Jesus Christ
Following the path of Jesus Christ involves a journey of faith, obedience, and transformation. It begins with revelation, where God opens our eyes to the truth of His Son, Jesus Christ, and His work on the cross. This revelation is the foundation upon which we build our faith.
Once we receive this revelation, the next step is to experience it personally. This often involves a process of repentance and belief, which can be likened to passing through a “narrow gate.” This gate represents the initial step of coming to faith in Christ, acknowledging our need for salvation and accepting His sacrifice.
After entering through the narrow gate, we embark on a journey along the “narrow path.” This path symbolizes the ongoing relationship and fellowship we cultivate with the Lord. It is a path of continual growth, where we are called to live out our faith through good works, as stated in Ephesians 2:10, where we are reminded that we are created in Christ Jesus for good works that God has prepared for us.
Each believer has a unique calling and purpose in this journey. Just as every Christian has a specific role to play in the body of Christ, it is essential to recognize that no one can replace another in fulfilling God’s plan. This emphasizes the importance of humility and encouragement among believers as we support one another in our respective paths.
In summary, following the path of Jesus Christ involves receiving His revelation, experiencing personal transformation through faith, and actively living out our calling in obedience to His will. It is a journey marked by both challenges and growth, leading us closer to Him each day.
Self-Denial and Christian Faith
Self-denial is a significant theme in Christian faith, emphasizing the importance of humility and reliance on God rather than on one’s own strength or righteousness. In the context of Christian teachings, self-denial involves recognizing one’s own limitations and the inherent sinfulness of the flesh.
The process of self-denial often begins with the acknowledgment that, without Christ, one cannot achieve true goodness or righteousness. Believers are called to understand that their own efforts, no matter how well-intentioned, are insufficient for salvation or spiritual growth. This is reflected in the idea that all human righteousness is like “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6), highlighting the need for divine grace.
Moreover, self-denial is not merely about abstaining from certain pleasures or desires; it is about a deeper transformation of the heart. It requires believers to submit their will to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to work within them. This can involve enduring trials and recognizing personal weaknesses, which ultimately leads to a greater dependence on God’s strength.
In the teachings of Jesus, self-denial is exemplified in His call to take up one’s cross and follow Him (Matthew 16:24). This signifies a willingness to endure hardships and sacrifices for the sake of faith and obedience to God. It is through this process that believers can experience true spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Christ.
In summary, self-denial in the Christian faith is about recognizing one’s own insufficiency, relying on God’s grace, and being willing to sacrifice personal desires for the sake of following Christ. It is a journey of humility, transformation, and deeper faith.
