Divine appointments with Amanda Loftus joined by Pastor Nevil Norden

Divine APPOINTMENTS | The Weeping Prophet What does it truly mean to be called? In this episode of Divine APPOINTMENTS, Amanda Loftus sits down with the legendary Pastor Neville Norden of Lewende Woord. Known to many as the "weeping prophet" of South Africa, he opens up about his journey from a competitive athlete to a life fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Episode Overview The conversation serves as a retrospective on Pastor Norden's life, focusing on his spiritual development and the specific encounters he believes shaped his path into ministry. Key Biographical and Spiritual Milestones Early Spiritual Formation: Pastor Norden shares that he was christened in the Church of England, with a heritage reflecting the mixed English and Jewish descent common in South Africa. The "Most Beautiful Girl" Experience: At the age of ten, Pastor Norden experienced a pivotal moment after a motor vehicle accident involving a girl in his class whom he admired. He recounts an experience at church where a preacher spoke of God selecting the "most beautiful flower". This triggered an internal crisis for the young Norden, leading him to walk out of the service and question the nature of God's choices. Accepting Christ: At 16, while living on a farm in Vlakdrif and feeling profound spiritual questions about his purpose, he knelt and prayed. He describes a literal sensation of being cleansed by Christ’s blood and asked the Lord to come and live within him, which he marks as the beginning of his personal walk of faith. The Call to Ministry: Pastor Norden recounts a specific experience while praying, where he felt he was transported into the presence of Jesus. During this experience, he claims Jesus called him into the "apostolic office". He highlights the confirmation of this calling years later when two different men—at separate times and locations—approached him independently to tell him that he operated in a "prophetic office". Life in Ministry and Athletics Athletic Career: Pastor Norden discusses his background as an athlete, specifically mentioning his time as a competitive shot putter. He describes how he dealt with feelings of inferiority during his youth by training with weights, which helped him grow stronger and larger. Transition to Ministry: Following his athletic career, he and his wife moved to Hatfield in 1976 to begin their ministry work. They share memories of building their congregation in a local cinema and navigating the early stages of their church community. The "Weeping Prophet": Amanda Loftus notes that the congregation affectionately refers to Pastor Norden as the "weeping prophet" of South Africa, citing his visible commitment to the Holy Spirit and the emotional depth of his sermons.
