Our Guest Norvel Hayes
Sid: My guest is red hot for the Messiah; He’s probably the most red hot person I’ve ever met for the Messiah that is 86 years young; the devils been afraid of him for a long time and he’s still pretty nervous when Norvel shows up. Norvel I was curious you had and encounter with God, you didn’t understand things like being filled with the Holy Spirit your background was Baptist. Tell me about the time you went to Heaven the first time.
Norvel: Okay, it was in the 60’s when I had that experience; I had bought a little motel down in Crystal River, Florida and I had to go to Gainesville to catch a Delta flight out. So when God took me to Heaven the first time He showed me that big house that big building; He let me walk in them all of them the rooms it had the small furniture; children’s furniture I still didn’t know what it meant. But then I walked out of the house; walked out of the house; walked up the sidewalk and it was beautiful flowers and grass and flowers in Heaven and the grass if so green. But oh Sid I beg of people stay out of sin don’t miss Heaven because if you don’t stay out of sin you’re not going to Heaven you have to stay out of sin you can’t live in sin and go to Heaven. You need to get rid of sin and stuff if you’re doing mean things or doing things that God don’t like.
Sid: So when you went to Heaven for the first time you saw this home and…
Norvel: Yeah, it was a big building; I couldn’t figure out it took several years and after that when I came back several years after I’d been speaking and I’d say “If any of you girls have had an abortion or you had miscarriages or that type of thing I said don’t worry about your little child because God’s got a special place in Heaven where He takes the little children like that and the angels teach them you know until they get grown and they teach them things.
Sid: Did the Lord tell you this or did you actually see it when you went to Heaven?
Norvel: Well, I saw where they were at; when I came back then let’s see I couldn’t hardly believe it for years I’d tell the people in my services or conventions; that if you lost a child don’t worry about it the Lord takes care of the little children He has a special place for them. And wasn’t ready to go back if he could if you could see where they lived. Now about 14 years ago, about 14 years ago Sid, now I’m riding in my car one day I had to fly out of Gainsville so I requested a room at my hotel and spent the night there. And the man that was going to drive me to the airport come by to pick me up and we were driving up highway 19 in Florida towards Gainsville I catch my flight out of there to go speak at a place and so him and me were just driving up there in Highway 19 and just talking and I was looking like this you know and palm trees and different things in Florida outside. And Sid just all of a sudden; I mean all of a sudden God hit me over the dash to keep myself balanced so I could keep my seat in the car but all the Palm trees outside disappeared from me, my own driver in my car disappeared from me and all of a sudden me and myself goes woosh in this supernatural vision and I’m on Earth then. And I looked down, I was up higher and I looked down and a whole row a round circle just like this right here of little bitty teenage children and I’m looking down at them and they’re looking at me all these tiny children looking down at all of them. And then they’re going like this going reaching out towards me like this… help me, help me, I don’t want to die help me, won’t you help me, help me. And then the Lord said to me “I haven’t forgotten about the little children, and I’m going to require you to get a home for me. I was on my way to Springfield, Missouri to speak at a camp meeting for some ministers. And so when I got it out of my mouth I started talking about it a little bit and all of a sudden in the congregation a strong message came forth in tongues. And one of the well-known ministers siting on the front there walked up on the stage walked over to where I was and he began to give an invitation and he said “My son I have not forgotten about the little children.”
Sid: Hm.
Norvel: “I showed you where I keep them in Heaven and now then I’m going to require you to get a home for unwed mothers. Little teenage girls that gets pregnant and they don’t have nobody to help them; they lose almost all their friends and I want you to save those little babies for Me save the little baby I’m going to require you to buy a home to save and take those girls in and don’t charge them no money you raise them, I’ll help you raise the money.” So I did I went back home and a man that worked with me he said “Brother Norvel I was at the bank and the banker said ‘Come over here. Don’t you work with Norvel Hayes?’” He said “Yeah.” He said “You tell him is he in town?” “No, he’s out of town.” “When he comes back tell him I want to see me I’ve got something I think that God wants him to have.” I have got this home that has fifteen bedrooms and eight baths and he said he only owes $95,000 on it but we reprocessed it because they didn’t have the money to finish it.” He said “Mr Hayes if you want to buy this home for your children you can have all the acreage and that home for $95,000; go out there and look at it and come back and let me know.” And I did and I bought it and I’ve had it ever since. Bringing girls in for 30 years I guess saving the little babies. God says “I haven’t forgot about the little babies, 14 years went by and I haven’t forgotten what I showed you about the house of little children I’m going to require you to get one for me a house to raise those little children.”
Sid: A house for unwed mothers?
Norvel: Yes, I’ve had it for about 35 years.
Sid: Tell me, take you back to this first time you went to Heaven. You saw this house where the babies were…
Norvel: Yes.
Sid: And they were in good shape the babies in Heaven but…
Norvel: Oh yeah you said that right.
Sid: But besides seeing the house tell me what other recollection you have in Heaven.
Norvel: The most important thing I saw in Heaven, and of course I saw the trees and the flowers and the grass and how green it was. But I walked out of the house and I walked up the sidewalk and I was looking at the flowers of how beautiful they were; the greenest grass I’ve ever seen. And I got up on a little rise from the house and I was standing there and I said “Oh God I wish I could stay here.” And Sid every time you breathe in Heaven, every time you breath you breathe in the presence of God. Heaven is a holy place; there’s no sin there, there’s no garbage there, there’s no foul talking there nothing. It’s a holy place and every time you breathe you breathe in the presence of God and He lets you feel Him going all the way down your body to the end of your toes. The next time it’s a little bit better; every time you breathe it seems like it’s stronger. So in Heaven you won’t ever have no boring days in Heaven. Breathing the presence of God in every time you breathe you can’t hardly wait for the next breath; that’s the main thing I saw how you could breathe.
Sid: It’s like a rarefied air that you breathe there. But Norvel your known for having authority over demons, over sickness, you hate cancer with a passion. Tell me about the greatest miracle short of salvation you’ve ever witnessed when you’ve prayed.
Norvel: It was in this church in Pensacola, Florida speaking on a Sunday morning. I was asking the Lord why this church didn’t have more power than what they had when we need more power God’s power on the earth to do the work of God. And he said “Go out there and lay your hands on that woman in a wheelchair.” She come from this old people’s home and she’s been in an old people’s home for 11 years with palsy and I went out there and touched her on the forehead like this with my fingers and then she disappeared and then I guess a 1,000 people started screaming and I looked over that way and she’s on the other- side of the church normal, she had 6 deadly diseases and she’s running around in a circle screaming Jesus; screaming Jesus…
Sid: She was blind too.
Norvel: Yeah blind and normal eyes.
Sid: Yeah blind, no mind, her body twisted like this yeah.
Norvel: She carried 2 pictures with her one after God healed her and one when I prayed for her and she came to the service.
Sid: Now my goodness; did you hear what he just said. A woman with all these diseases totally crippled, totally blind, gets out a wheelchair but actually what occurred is she disappeared and she was on the other side of the auditorium that’s what it sounds like to me. That’s normal; I want you to be normal…
