Called To Reign: Living and Loving from a Place of Rest Spiral-Bound | February 26, 2019

You were created for many wonderfully fulfilling purposes and experiences—to know the Father, to know who you are in Him, to receive an inheritance from Him, and even to rule with Him. Many Christians are running hard after these things—working to become somebody, striving to have what has been promised, hoping to find their calling and realize their destiny. But they find themselves in a never-ending cycle of restlessness.

Everything from God comes from a place of rest, and when you find it, you receive. When you know who you are, whose you are, what you have been given, and what you have been called to do—and experience these amazing blessings from a position of rest – you step into your destiny.

Right now, you can be completely secure in your identity. You can begin to receive all that you’ve been given. And, at rest in your Father’s love, you can realize your ultimate purpose — that you have been called to reign.

Like most Christians, you long to fulfill your calling. You seek the inheritance God has promised you. And you work hard to serve Him well and enter into His rest.But what if your destiny is already within reach? What if you already have access to all the things He has promised? What if, instead of working for rest, you can actually work from rest?

The world, including most of the church, is working hard in order to find peace and rest. That’s why we see a constant cycle of restlessness around us. But we were designed to work from a place of rest, fully secure in our identity as children of God. This resting place is found in intimacy with the Father, where His family members experience complete acceptance and extravagant love.

The resting place is there, available from God anywhere, anytime

We are sons and daughters of a loving Father, not orphans trying to figure out who we are. We are called to reveal the true nature of God, and we cannot do that with an orphan mindset. When sons and daughters arise in the church, the world will begin to see the true nature of the Father and His family—a family that sees promises, not problems, and that reigns with Him!

Using his well-known illustration of the three chairs, Leif Hetland explores the four pillars of this resting place, addressing four crucial questions:

• Identity: Who are you?
• Intimacy: Where are you?
• Inheritance: What do you have?
• Destiny: What are you called to do?

The key to fulfilling your destiny is realizing the answers to each of these questions—in the order God designed for us.

This book is will help you experience everything God wants for you by finding a resting place for yourself and becoming a resting place for Him. It is about an entirely different way to see and live, a way that refreshes, restores, and brings life. It is an invitation into the fullness and abundance that empowers you to do what you were called to do—to reign with Him!
