Sid: My guest Leif Hetland, if you’d been listening to him all this week you are so red hot for the Messiah. But Leif I have to ask you something, is this love, this Sonship, people could take it to another extreme and make it a license to sin?
Leif: Yeah, and I hear many people are asking me that question, and first thing I often say is that Jesus for three years, who only said what the Father was saying, did what the Father was doing; he lived as a Son and eventually Simon said, “Who do you say I am?” “You are Christ, you are an anointed Son.” So the identity of Jesus, He lived the life as a Son, but He did not sin. So first I just want to say, the old orphan with me, I must be holy to have God’s favor and then I this will increase my sense of shame and guilt. So what I did in my old orphan heart was that I feel I need to be holy, I need to do these things and then God is going to be happy. The new, when I became a Son and had a baptism of love, I want to be holy, I don’t want to do anything that hinder intimate relationship with Poppa God. So as an example with my wife, I have a beautiful wife named Jennifer and I travel all over the world and there’s been all kinds of temptation and opportunity and I’m saying that it is easy for me to say no if I have a big enough yes. I believe love is greater than fear, I can be fearful that I’m going to get caught or fear can be my motivating, but I have realized that there is something much greater than fear, it works maybe on the penalty system, but it doesn’t cure the hearts of the people. Love cures the hearts of the people, so I do not believe that it’s a license to sin. Now people do not need a license to sin anyway even if they are religious or rebellious. But I believe that subtly because of relationship and you become sensitive to Father God; you become very sensitive and you recognize what Jesus did on the cross for you. When you recognize the sensitivity of the Spirit, I don’t want to do anything to offend, even in my staff. We’ve had some tension lately and there have been thing. I stop with tears and I realized that I carried and offense because it harms relationship, I would rather have relationship than being right and then you humble yourself. And so if there is even a small sin I want relationships with my wife, with my children, with my staff, with my Poppa God and I want to be able to love other people and now the sensitivity of the Spirit I think is so much greater motivation to live in righteousness then it is to be drawn towards sins. Anyone that do that, I think there are some major love deficits that needs to be filled up.
Sid: Give me an example of someone that has sat through your course on healing the orphan spirit and you’ve prayed for an impartation of supernatural love, tell me about one person.
Leif: It is almost difficult to think about one because I automatically can see masses and masses and thousands and thousands. But I could go in and one of the people that I keep seeing was Paul and that was so dramatically changed that had been a missionary. He was burned out, they lived in poverty, they had been struggling and striving. And in their marriage they were tired, they were weary, they were worn out and he had this encounter. He just laid down and he just wept and he wept as this liquid love came all over him. When he was finished with this experience with Poppa God he became a Son and he became a beloved Son from that very place. Not just his finances, not just his marriage, not just his ministry and his mission, everything had literally. And I’m not saying that it happened in one moment, this now five years into his journey, but it happened automatically there was a shift and change and things started happening. And I still remember even, “Daddy Leif, do you know somebody gave me a car?” And he had been praying for a car, “I said somebody gave you a car?” He said, “Yes, somebody gave me a car.” Later on somebody gave him another car, and said, “Daddy Leif, why didn’t this happen before? why didn’t God…” As orphans, you have to strive and stress for everything, we are Sons and Daughters. I am not saying some people that are listening are going to get a car. But I just love the testimony when I saw his face and he was just sharing, “Wow, look what Poppa’s doing.” I mean he has always been extravagant, there’s all these things that has been available in my account, but there is only one key to the Masters account and that is Sonship. That is the key and that is also the key to covenant relationship with one another. That’s how we become a family and then we can say, “Our Father which art in Heaven.” “Then we can say Your kingdom come Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” So literally there’s thousands and thousands of testimonies; this one is the easiest for me because it is probably the area I see the most testimony. I could tell many stories where we had mass healings of people that are lost. That all I got to say is Poppa, I’ve done it over and over again and people have watched the whole environment changes, they are not even saved yet, but mass healing has taken place and then we lead them to Jesus. But all I need to do is, if you just honor Him as a Father and we are saying it together that’s all it takes, you are coming not as an orphan begging, striving, hoping that God, you are going to twist His arm, but instead you are coming. Even before they are saved and the result of the mass salvations took place.
Sid: I would like you to give them a little down payment, if you will on the two CD’s that were making available called “Healing the Orphan Spirit.” Would you pray for an impartation of Daddy’s Love?
Leif: I would love to that. Father I just, you are a good Poppa; I thank you that you are in a good mood. I thank you that you are smiling, not frowning and every person that is listening, when you are looking at them, even if there is sin in their life, I thank you Father for what I believe is Your goodness is going to connect with any evil, any darkness Your light is going to penetrate and if there is people that don’t even know Your precious Son of Jesus I just ask that you overcome evil good. The goodness of God would lead to repentance, so I’m asking for a goodness revolution to just touch people that are watching where they are overwhelmed by Your goodness in so much time where there is so many dark clouds, let Your sunshine through. And I want to pray the prayer that I know changed my life in the year 2000 and that is “That you are Mine and that you are My Beloved. The Father says, this is Daddy, Father God, He says that you are Mine, you are My Beloved.” Just pray that with me the people that are listening, “You are mine. Say “I am His, I am Daddy’s.
Sid: I am His, I am Daddy’s.
Leif: I am His beloved Son or Daughter.
Sid: I am His beloved Son.
Leif: My Poppa loves me.
Sid: My Poppa loves me.
Leif: He likes me.
Sid: He likes me.
Leif: I’m His happy thought.
Sid: I’m His happy thought.
Leif: He is for me not against me.
Sid: He is for me not against me.
Leif: I receive Your love.
Sid: I receive Your love.
Leif: I receive Your healing.
Sid: I receive Your healing.
Leif: I receive the Spirit of Sonship.
Sid: I receive the Spirit of Sonship.
Leif: So I can say Abba.
Sid: So I can say Abba.
Leif: Daddy.
Sid: Daddy.
Leif: Father
Sid: Father.
Leif: Just feel it is coming now. Ha-ha. It’s the dove, it’s the presence it’s coming over you right now. Whoa.
Sid: Well Leif, there is actually people that have hearing problems; their ears are being opened, but not just in the natural. In the natural, but also in the supernatural; some of you are going to hear God’s voice clearer than you ever have before. What else is God doing Leif?
Leif: I’m also seeing here, first of all there a lot of fear, anxiety that’s been about jobs, marriages, different things, but I sense that it is mainly like a tightness in the chest and then some of it has been measured, a lot I even feel like just a lot of pain, it goes up from the head and it goes down the neck area. But it has just been released the tightness of the chest, but it is a fear. “He said, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but I have given you a Spirit of Love because you are loveable, I have given you a Spirit of Power, because you are powerful, and I have given you sound mind. So the soundness to people’s mind and I just got that in my spirit, He said, your mind suddenly, wow you can think clearly. The offense is gone, so I am going to go and ask forgiveness, or release forgiveness, something was the soundness of the mind and fear gone when love moved in and suddenly the power came. Power, your powerful, the power came upon you.
Sid: And I’m also believing right now that God is showing something is going on with eyes. Some of you that have problems in your eyes or vision problems, or even blindness, you are healed in Yeshua’s Name.” But, deeper than that, you’re going to be able to start seeing in the Spirit. One last thought, on what it’s like to be a Son, Leif.
Leif: It is restful, it is peaceful, it is powerful, it is just secure, it is secure in the middle of all the insecurity. Living your life as a Son, and that’s the freedom because the dove is there and it will remain there. So I just want to encourage people. People call me an apostle of love, they call me doctor Leif, they have all these titles for me, but that is not how I live my life. Not even being a fatherless movement or pasturing or networking churches or author, no! I focus my life as a Son and when I do that there’s always peace, there is provision…
Sid: And I want those that are listening to us right now to focus your life as a Son to walk in this kind of love.
