Leif Hetland has been a personal friend for many years. We have ministered
together on numerous occasions, and I have been profoundly impacted by the
principles he put in his new book, Called to Reign. He brings the believer back
to the foundational truth of what it means to live a life full of purpose and
fulfillment, which can only happen as we learn to live from a place of rest. Ripe
with revelation, Called to Reign is a powerful catalyst to uproot the lies often
created by anemic religious systems, and it helps to pave the way for discovering
our calling or purpose in life. This book is powerful! It is powerful enough to
affect how we think, while bringing greater freedom into every reader’s life!

Leif Hetland is an anointed communicator and a friend. His new book, Called to
Reign, brings a vital message for the church. Filled with foundational teaching
on identity, intimacy, inheritance, and destiny, this book will bless you as it calls
you to come up higher and reign from the place of rest close to the heart of God.

Leif Hetland is an amazing hero of the faith. He steps out where others fear to
go. His newest book, Called to Reign acknowledges the critical condition of the
‘church’ challenging believers to reign as ‘kingdom bringers.’ Leif offers a
powerful and heartfelt roadmap for followers of Jesus to find peace, rest and
ultimately, what we all really want…intimacy with the Father. The concept of
‘love’ is more than just an impractical sounding cliché; I have witnessed the
strategy that Leif advocates work miracles even amongst religious radicals and
dictators. His tactic of love, compassion and mercy really does work to bring
reconciliation in even the most extreme circumstances. If followers of Jesus
were to operate in Leif’s kingdom mindset by living daily in the ‘love language’
of heaven, it would change the world as we know it. In this generation of fear,
deception and division, followers of Jesus must be known as ‘Ambassadors of
Love’ - this is how we are called to reign.

Leif Hetland is a dear friend of mine and also a friend of God. He is passionate
to see God’s Kingdom come, and ready for any assignment no matter how
radical. Leif’s book, Called to Reign, is about understanding who we are as sons
and daughters of our loving and tender daddy God. We are loved
unconditionally before we ever do a thing. When we stay in this place of resting
in God, knowing who we are and knowing we have access to the resources of
heaven, we can dream big dreams for others and ourselves; we can shift
atmospheres and carry God’s glory on the earth. Read this book and allow God
to heal every false mindset and pour His liquid love into your heart. You are
called to reign!

In 2019 I complete 70 years of ordained ministry and can say without hesitation
that one of the brightest moments in my entire career was when I met Leif
Hetland and established the father/son relationship we now share. Today, I hold
in my hand his monumental work, Called to Reign; a literary confirmation of his
amazing ministry. In it, Leif reveals the Holy Spirit’s awesome intent that every
disciple of Jesus is “called to reign!” If I, and a million other young pastors, had
been given this book the day we were ordained the history of the church would
be far different!
Charles Carrin
Author, Christian Evangelist
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of meeting many leaders in the body of
Christ from many different denominations and Leif Hetland is truly one of the
most unique. I have never seen a combination of both power and childlikeness
functioning in anyone as I’ve seen in Leif. In Called to Reign, Leif shares with
us the priceless treasures he has received directly from heaven; treasures of
revelation that carry the substance to transform our souls into gold - emanating
the brightest light to the world around us.
Absolutely nothing in all of creation should matter more to us than
nurturing and growing our intimate relationship with the Father, Jesus and Holy
Spirit. For knowing God is eternal life as Jesus teaches us in John 17:3. Leif
Hetland has a strong anointing to help lead the body into deeper intimacy with
God. I implore anyone and everyone to follow Leif Hetland into the pages of this
book and allow him to take you by the hand as you drink in every word of
Called to Reign.

As a young Christian, “reigning in life” was something we would all do in the
future, in The Millennium. However, Leif Hetland challenges us to believe that
God still loves the world, even our enemies! He contends that we best
accomplish our co-mission with Jesus by coming to the amazing place of rest
where His yoke is easy!
Bishop Joseph L. Garlington Sr.

“Are you receiving all God has for you? Are you at heavenly rest and peace in
your life, in all areas? Most believers cannot say, “yes.” This book is a “how to.”
I call it “how to be normal based on the Word of God.”
Sid Roth
Host, It’s Supernatural!
Leif and his wife Jennifer have been friends of ours for over 10 years. I
remember well the very first time I witnessed the three chairs. I am delighted
that this teaching is now in a book. Leif enables us all to learn from our
successes and our failures, to pick ourselves up and get back in the right chair. I
can visualize him teach as I read, and that means that the book makes me smile.
Leif is a man of faith and great generosity, giving himself away in every season
and every place he goes, and now he is increasing that gift through the pages of
this book. His desire will become yours - to find rest in this world and in the
Father. The first time I met Leif he was a guest speaker, and now he is our
friend. My wife Sue and I will never forget serving him. It gives me great
pleasure to endorse this book written by such a great speaker and a dear friend
because I know that it is not the result of preparing to speak a great message, but
the pursuit of living a great life.

Author of Kisses from a Good God and What on Earth Is Glory
Called to Reign is a must-read book for those who desire deeper experiences
with God and to live out the abundant and victorious life He has promised for all
of His children. In every page, Leif Hetland, my spiritual father, shares the gold
nuggets of revelations and wisdom that he has received in the secret place with
the Father and faithfully stewarded through the years of pouring God’s love to
the nations bringing healing, salvation and transformation. I have had the
privilege of joining him on a number of ministry trips to some of the most
spiritually dark regions of the world, and I have personally witnessed how he
carries and releases the presence of God that shifts spiritual atmospheres
resulting in massive healings, miracles and transformations. While there are
some simple and practical steps mentioned in this book that are very helpful, this
is not “how-to” material. In these pages you will find stories and revelations that
serve as a guiding light that gives understanding and wisdom to our walk as
beloved sons and daughters ruling and reigning in life. I highly recommend this
book to leaders and fathers of movements, and churches and cultures who desire
to raise up a people compelled and empowered by the love of God to bring
heaven to earth in all arenas of life.
Paul P. Yadao
Senior Pastor, Destiny Ministries International, Philippines
Spiritual son of Leif Hetland
In his book, Called to Reign, Leif Hetland has captured the heart of Jesus’ call
to: “come and learn from Me” (Matthew 11:25 – 30). Jesus describes His life as
coming out of intimacies and knowledge of a Father and Son relationship and
that He is ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen.
Leif, over many decades, has listened carefully to Jesus about practical
ways we can all put into place to recover Christian spirituality so that we walk
and work with Jesus from a Kingdom perspective. He provides us with the tools
to act upon Eugene Peterson’s powerful interpretation: “…watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.”
As you read Called to Reign you will be empowered to join a worldwide
move of the Spirit to play your part in ushering in the Kingdom of God.
Peter McHugh
Stairway Church, Melbourne, Australia
When I first heard Leif preach on the content of this book, I knew that the
message was one that the Church so desperately needs to hear. In my
relationship with Leif, most of our conversations revolve around the idea that
true breakthrough in the Kingdom only comes through deep rest in the Father’s
heart. Leif has been given a revelation from the Father on the power of rest in
the life of His children. Through Leif’s metaphor of the ‘Three Chairs’ we see
that ordinary people can learn extraordinary strategy from heaven on the
principle of actually working from a place of rest. You will find that this book
will help you connect to God and learn the rhythms of what He deems normal. I
bless you in the name of Jesus Christ with the ability to take the principles of
Leif’s revelation and to step more fully into your own identity and eventual
destiny.
Chad Norris
Lead Pastor of Bridgeway Church, Greenville, SC
Leif Hetland is a dear covenant friend and partner in ministry who carries a deep
realm of truth and revelation. As I read the pages of his new book, Called to
Reign my heart was deeply moved by the words I read because I believe they
came directly from the Father’s heart. Leif has constantly demonstrated what a
life of love and intimacy with God looks like. Called to Reign will change your
thinking, transform your heart, renew your mind, and awaken you to the Father’s
love as you read each sentence. I have listened to Leif preach, watched him
minister with pure love and joy, and live from a place of resting in God. Over the
years I’ve been greatly blessed as I have had the honor of watching Leif live out
the pages of this book. It is refreshing and empowering to watch someone live
what they are preaching, teaching, and writing about. As you read this book, I
believe that you will receive an impartation and a deep deposit of truth and love
that flow from a lifetime of Leif’s encounters, revelation, and personal
testimony. My heart has been so refreshed by the Father’s love through this book
that was written from a place of love and transparency. I highly recommend and
encourage every pastor, leader, minister, and believer to read Called to Reign. It
will definitely change your life.
