BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

GoodNewsGazette ‘Healed of Lupus!’ I had lupus many years ago. I was an alcoholic and did not have a very good life. It is hard to talk about it all, but I have been totally healed of lupus! The doctor always says it is in remission, but it has been at least 38 years, and no signs of it. I say, “Healed in Jesus’ Name!” L.P. | Rock Falls, Ill. Fruitful Incarceration God bless Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. In my earlier years, I did time in prison, and while I was there I got close to the Lord. I went to every Bible study and church service available. I read devotionals and daily devotions, including the "From Faith to Faith" yearlong devotional, and I was truly blessed. I took notes each time I watched the Copelands’ services on TV. I spent five years in what is called a “serve-out” of my sentence. I clung to God and grew closer to Him as He changed my heart. Out of this incarceration I wrote a book of poetry, and also other books of everyday life in prison. Reading, writing, listening to such Christian people as Kenneth and Gloria, I became strong in the Lord. I want to thank you both for your prayers and encouragement and love. R.W.T. | Louisville, Ky.   My Son Has Been Delivered I called asking for agreement in prayer for my son—that he be delivered from alcohol and rededicate his life to Christ. He has done so, praise God! He is walking in sobriety and serving the Lord. God is so good. C.J. | South Carolina ‘The Tumor Had Gone!’ I want to testify about healing that I received through Gloria Copeland. At the time, I was not a believer and didn’t know the living God. Once, I was watching TV and saw a woman. She said to put hands on our sick places and Jesus would heal us. So I did. I was not a believer and didn’t realize Gloria was saying God’s Word and Jesus was healing. Doctors had found a tumor in my body and prescribed medicine. They said it would be a long process. Two weeks after the prayer, I went to make tests and the tumor had gone! The doctor could not believe her eyes. She told me it was the first time in her practice a tumor had disappeared in such short time. It was impossible. But for God everything is possible! Now I am already six years with God and I understand that He loves all of us, believers and unbelievers. I am so grateful to Him for the healing! G.T. | Kharkov, Ukraine Prayer Relieved Her Back Pain I just want you to know I am feeling so much better since you prayed for me. I am so grateful to the Lord and to you for your ministry. I have had back pain for many years and it is such a blessing to be healed! I feel like another person! I am 77 years old and now look forward to the rest of my life without pain! I had not felt like being in active ministry...well, I do now! Many blessings on you faithful ones! Darlene H. | Valencia, Calif. ‘Believing God for a House’ Gloria had put her “Believing God for a House” scriptures in the October 2017 "BVOV" magazine. In November we put our house on the market. The next day, the second people who looked at it, bought it. The road of selling had a few bumps, but we kept standing on the Word and everything went through very quickly. We found our new home and it is such a blessing. We know we are in the right place at the right time. We moved into our new house Dec. 21, and this is home. My heart is full! Praise the Lord! Thank you for all you do and for teaching me about my authority and standing on the Word. We love you all!

I was on a minivacation with my daughter and the grandkids, and early in the morning, I went down to the lobby for coffee before everyone woke up. I brought the January issue of "BVOV" to read. The first article was on forgiveness and I thought, I listen to Brother Copeland all the time and I know all this, and like he has said, “Little foxes spoil the vine,” and to keep forgiveness close. So I almost skipped over that article, but I had lots of time and good coffee and was just waiting for everyone to wake up, so I read it. Soon, I was wrapped up in the article and at the end, I just said in my heart, All right Lord, is there anything I haven't forgiven? About five things immediately popped into my heart and I tell you, I forgave and repented superfast. I told the Lord then, you can never take for granted that you know something and have it down. It's a constant learning and growing, even on the subjects we feel we know the best. Lesson learned. Just wanted to say thank you for the "BVOV" print version of the magazine, which is certainly a blessing. I love you all and thank you, thank you, thank you, and I hope that I never again think, I have heard this before. Duchess M. | Missouri 12 : BVOV
