Sid: We are getting ready Mishpochah to have such a baptism and outpouring of God’s love that we will be just naturally loving God with all of our heart and mind and strength and loving our neighbor as ourself. And I have a new friend of mine on the telephone Leif Hetland. He was born in Norway but his office is in Florence, Alabama right now. He is the President of Global Mission Awareness. And he had an experience called the Baptism of Love and I asked him on yesterday’s broadcast. I said “Leif, could your team had led ½ a million Muslims (which they have to the Lord) without this Baptism of Love? And he gave me an answer I wasn’t looking for and he said “Yes, because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” And these gifts operate because they do come from God and he used a close personal friend of mine who’s now in Heaven Dr. Derrick Prince. Derrick had one of the greatest deliverance ministries of all time. And God used him but he was in bondage till he had this baptism of Love. But I have to believe Leif that when you can talk to a Muslim about the love of Father God not from intellect; not theologically but where they literally feel what you are saying. That has to cut through all those religious spirits.
Leif: There’s no doubt about it and the joy that I have and you have seen some of my videos. But I do always visit a top Muslim leaders of the countries of where I’m going in and I think that the love and the favor, and the grace that I have upon my life that is what is resting upon me. And somehow that gives an attraction and I cannot because of this being on the radio but I have visited one Arab nation which some of the top Arab leaders. One of the most conservative of that Arab nation, but just coming into this palace where infidels would never be called in. And to be in this room I have it on picture and video; but to be there in this palace just the love that I have for these people. Because I think that one of the things I love my Jewish brothers and sisters and I love Israel and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. But somehow something has been wrong with us if we have a hate towards Muslim instead of understanding that they are lost without a shepherd. That these people are blind and that they need to see; that these people are people that just need an encounter with the God of love that will change their life. So when I’m looking at them and know that I am looking at them with the eyes of Jesus with eyes of love. And He loves bother Jews and the Gentiles and I have such a passion and love for Muslims. And when I see these ladies behind the veil but in this house here with 3 of the top Muslim leaders in the world. One of them is chairman of all of these boards and if I mentioned the names everybody would know who they are. And I have some beautiful pictures with them; but in that room the love was the magnet that drew these people and where they wanted to listen. The next thing I had the opportunity and that was because one of the friends that I had there with me we got some words of knowledge that resulted in the healing of the elbow of one person and the knee replacement of the other 3 that were in there. And I got to pray and as I started to pray I said “Father in the name of Jesus Christ release the power of the Holy Spirit.” I’m in the palace of some of the top leadership and this is just a few months ago; and in the midst of all of that I just talked about the childhood of this one person standing there prophesying speaking things in. And afterwards he said “Wow, what an exercise!”
Sid: (Laughing)
Leif: “I never experienced; it was like heat and electricity and I cannot explain what is going on here but…” And the whole room and my team that was with me from America they stood and hold us back; if not they would have gone on the floor just because the presence of God was so strong. The love was the language that blind eyes could see and the deaf ears can hear; it is the aroma of the Father’s favor that is coming in there because people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. So love becomes; the baptism of love creates an atmosphere where I do believe that the power can be released and we can demonstrate who Jesus Christ is.
Sid: Leif I have to ask you, “What is your time with God now like; what do you do?”
Leif: To be honest with you that is a very difficult question because most people would think because of the type of ministry that I’m such a holy man that wakes up at 5:00 in the morning and spends 3 hours in prayer and then I do my Bible study and everything else. The most precious time I have with the Lord, is soaking is what I call it; it’s just receiving. And the reason is because I spend most of my like studying, praying and doing all these different things and it was almost a… and I’m not discourage people from doing that because of where I came from it was very important for me just like my son if he comes up to me and says “Daddy I need $70 for a new pair of shoes or I need this or I need that.” Just for him to climb up on my lap and he says “You’re the best daddy in the whole wide world; I just wanted to sit here with you and love on you.” That is the most precious time I have with the Lord; I have a room in my house that I don’t use often enough because I travel so much. But I have a massage chair and I sit in there and just click on a CD and there will be music or I put on a CD where the Father just speaks to me and all I do is just listening to what Daddy has to say to me as a son.
Sid: Do you every visualize yourself getting into God’s lap and having Him embrace you and if so tell me about that.
Leif: Very much so and it’s so what the most important thing in my life where I am just seeing myself and that’s the identity that I have when people ask me. I say, “I see myself as a little boy who has a Big Dad; little problems.”
Sid: Do you see yourself as a little boy when you get in your father’s lap?
Leif: Yes I do; I do. And I see myself as a little boy that has a Big Dad and here’s the key revelation out of this. Little Dad; big problems; Big Dad little problems; Jesus said “You have to be like a little child to enter into the Kingdom.” I really do believe that and I’m not talking about being childish, but to be like a child. To be able to understand our Heavenly Father; our loving Father. When I understand how big God is and I’m looking at the cancer or quadriplegic in the wheelchair I first have to look how big my God is; then I see very differently how big Goliath is when I see how big my Daddy is. And so if He is for me who can come against me; so big Dad small problems. Big problems small Dad. So I need a time just with my Daddy where He enlarge where I see how big He is and then I realize how little I am as a son; as a little boy climbing up on my Daddy’s lap.
Sid: Now what does God look like to you as you’re visualizing and climbing into His lap?
Leif: Well, the major thing that it’s almost hard to describe in pictures but I can… as I say sometimes I have a picture of Jesus because of course He’s the perfect reflection of how Father God looks like and that’s an easy answer. But I just sensing that He’s almost like a big Teddy Bear type of Daddy that is just… and I know that’s not the logical or correct…
Sid: I’d seen some pictures by the way of the laughing Jesus; that would be and smiling and happy.
Leif: That is but I can see into His eyes; I can hear His voice the pleasant of His voice. I can feel His arms around me. Even when I’m talking to you right now; I can feel the presence of the Father being here. In the last nine weeks in every meeting I’ve had a lot of angelic visitation; where somewhere also I started to talk to the Father it was…
Sid: By the way have others seen these angelic visitations or just you?
Leif: Oh no; a lot of people have and I’m not seeing very well still. But a lot of them have. And we have 300 and some pictures in my office similar you saw Gary Oates showing you. I have over 300 pictures. I was in a Southern Baptist Church this Sunday, no last Sunday and I told them in the Sunday morning I said “Tonight there’s going to be a lot of angels showing up.” And they did and all these manifestations showed up.
Sid: This is a Southern Baptist Church?
Leif: It’s a Southern Baptist Church, traditional Southern Baptist Church. And as I was saying; and we had 5 miracles taking place in this Baptist Church and when they came up they showed me. And they are sending me now the emails of this week they’re sending me the pictures of what came out on the camera. And they came out the skeptics and I’m pointing and saying “Now you’re going to see what your eyes cannot see; and it’s going to blow you away.” I was with Karen Wheaton last Tuesday and I just did a simple teaching on angels just for them to understand because we don’t want to focus on the angels because it was about Jesus. And we saw that very clearly in Revelation 19:10 that they are messengers and servants and if the Father is sending them to us we need to welcome them. And so I just told her and I talked about the angels as winners and now you will feel from the right wind come here. And all over the room people could feel wind; they are like fire; and I read scripture verses on it. And now you will feel like fire and fire came in; and then I have an angel feather that I received at Bill Johnson’s Church that came down from Heaven.
Sid: By the way I was at Bill Johnson’s Church and the same thing happened to me, but go ahead.
Leif: Yeah, and so I have one big one that’s about five inches tall and bigger than all of the smaller ones that I’ve picked up in the past. The Lord just told me just stroke the people with My feather. And I’ve never done those things and I’m from a Southern Baptist background and so for the people in the audience think I’m crazy. But just as I did that there was gold that came over every one of the hands that we stroke and on Karen Wheaton too. Many of you know that on TBN on her face was full of gold glitter just as we just touched it. But all I think that the Father wanted to remind us about is “I am here; I am coming Son and I am preparing a bride and it is going to be a beautiful bride for my Son.
Sid: What is your relationship with the Holy Spirit?
Leif: Oh, I love the Holy Spirit and that is saying that I think the whole key element to being able to have intimacy with the Father is to walk in the Spirit. Because when you walk in the Spirit chair number 1 you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Chair number 2 you will not have Father encounters and Father experiences unless that you’re walking in the Spirit. And again that is not by trying it is by trusting; so I learned very quickly that I cannot live the Christian life and there is only one that can and there is only one that will. And His name is Jesus and He is very good at it and He gave me a Helper; a Counselor; a Power because I am powerless, helpless and weak.
Sid: Now do you talk to all 3 distinctly the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Leif: Definitely.
Sid: Okay Mishpochah if you’re not challenged your dead and Jesus has a solution; we can pray for the dead and they’ll come back to life.
