Sid: Hello. Sid Roth here with Leif Hetland. And Leif, you teach a lot about the Garden of Eden and originally that was meant to be Adam’s home. Tell me about that.
Leif: Well before sin came in God had a perfect plan, and He still had a perfect plan. He created a very beautiful place. And I’ve been very interested in going back to that place because I believe Jesus, the second Adam, that’s when he came to restore us again back to this garden. And it was a perfect place where they could hear his voice. They could see the Father’s face. They could feel the Father’s love. They could experience in His presence and they were living in His pleasure. And that’s what Eden means, pleasure or delights. And they were living in His pleasure. So I lived my life for so long without experiencing Eden. I didn’t have it my life. I didn’t have it my marriage. I didn’t have it in my ministry. It was more a place that I hoped I was going to go to than something I could experience on a daily basis with Father God.
Sid: As you walk in this love you meet so many people with orphan spirits. How can someone know if they have an orphan spirit?
Leif: I think that often the orphan spirit is often manifested either through religion. You will find people, they are striving, working, and it is through religious activity hoping that if they do these religions activities that Father God is going to be pleased with them. So that’s one way. The other one is often rebellion. One says give me, give me. Value God, value people, their spouse and the people they work for. They value them for what they’re going to do for you instead of who people are. And it’s more like a prodigal son. That’s his value system. Or the brother. It’s look what I am doing for God. The whole value system is look what I am doing for God instead of what I’m doing from God. So I think that that’s two major ways that you can see an orphan spirit. There’s either a rebellion against any authority or rebellion against the system. You find it in church all over and they hope just to have a visitation of Papa God. They do not have provision. They don’t have security. They don’t have a value system of just being. They always have to do something hoping that Papa is going to be well pleased.
Sid: Do you have a habitation of God 24/7?
Leif: Yeah, I would say so. There is times that I recognize that the presence of God is not there and then automatically right there and then the Father hunger that is my life, I just want to come home. So I live my life like a son.
Sid: Tell me the miracles going on, I mean, it’s phenomenal, these miracles. Tell me in Pakistan, just let’s pick one that I know about. The girl that had no color in her eyes, tell me about her.
Leif: I will never forget that face. It was only two months ago. She had absolutely, there was no color in her eyes. There was no black.
Sid: So it was all white.
Leif: It was all white, yeah. And by the time she got closer and closer up towards the stage and the parents started to see the creative power that was taking place and God was actually creating eyeballs. And by the time she comes up, I have the pictures where she’s actually looking at me, and then she has the biggest grin on her face, and she’s just smiling. And just to see the parents in an area where they never had Jesus before, when they are watching her looking at me and looking around, and seeing for the first time in her life. That’s when we can start to see how love looks like. You can see it on her face. She was experiencing the love.
Sid: Now you’ve had three meetings recently in which everyone was healed.
Leif: Yeah and I think that it was a good appetite of things to come. This does not normally happen.
Sid: Is this coming soon?
Leif: I think it is coming soon. We got a taste of it. And the fun part of this for me is that there was no superstar. We don’t know who prayed for whom. It was literally Heaven that came down. And these three meetings was all in the Philippines. We had a team there and every person that we prayed for got healed. And we blind eyes. We had people that was paraplegic. We had tumors that fell off people’s bodies. We had a whole team of 20-something of Americans that was there. We don’t know who prayed for whom. All we knew was that afterwards we were trying to see who do we need to pray for?
Sid: Leif, the presence of God is getting so strong on this set. You need to pray the Father’s blessing and pray for an impartation of God’s love. I want him to pray that right for you. Yes, you. You’re looking at you right now. I’m looking at you. I want him to pray that for you right now.
Leif: I just want to remind you that the Father, He loves you, He likes you and delights in you, and you are His happy thought. And I just want to release right now a impartation of the same love that I experienced in the year 2000. You are and your daddy’s, you’re His beloved son or His beloved daughter. And the Father says, “I love you. I love you and I’m well pleased with you.” I just ask now Father that your love is going to go deeper than it has ever gone before. And that any area in your life that is not comfortable with love, that is not comfortable with love, that the love would touch those areas and that you will be free. I release a healing to that orphan heart and I release that you’re going to get a glorious homecoming and you’re going to live the life like you have a home, a place of security, love, value and purpose. Just receive right now and it’s going to be waves that goes up and down your body that actually brings healing right now, physically speaking. Whoa. I just feel it with the lungs. There’s people with problems with the lungs and you can just feel it right now. It’s just loosening up. Asthma. Just breathe in and breathe out right and you can just sense it all over the place, people just being released. It’s just the love of God touching you. And I see somebody also, right now, you’re deaf probably about 80 percent in the right ear. Just stop and listen. Just snap your fingers and you’re going to start to hear sounds just taking place right now. It is just the love of God touching you. He loves you. He likes you. He delights in you. You’re His happy thought.
Sid: What is God’s heart for the people that are watching and just we prayed for? What is God’s heart for them?
Leif: I believe that God wants relationship. God wants a family. He wants sons and daughters. He doesn’t want people to gather around in orphanages hoping that their father is maybe going to visit now and then. He wants a place of habitation.
Sid: You said something interesting. He doesn’t want an orphanage. He wants a family. We have a Jewish word. It’s called mishpochah. That means “family”. That’s why God came. He wants to restore the Garden of Eden in the atmosphere, the Garden of Heaven in the atmosphere that we’re living in right now. This is the time to know Father God. This is the time to know the love of Father God. This is the time to experience the heart of Father God. Oh does He love you. God loves you because Jesus needs you, because Jesus made you clean so you can come into the presence of God. You, me, Leif. What a privilege. You can have your religion. I want to be in the presence of God. I want the Garden of Eden in my life. I want to hear God’s voice and only do what I see my Heavenly Father doing from His love.
