The doctors had told her she’d never recover, but in July 2015 she and her husband, William, discovered the Believer’s Voice of Victory Network® (now called VICTORY Channel TM). They started hearing The WORD and got so hungry for it they didn’t watch anything else on TV and didn’t read anything except the Bible. They just immersed themselves in The WORD. One night before Regi went to bed, what she’d been hearing got so big in her she could hardly contain herself. “Lord,” she said, “I want to wear Your glory so that people will be drawn to You! I want to walk in Your authority, so they know who You are. Heavenly Father, reveal to me who I am, and who You are, and what I have.” After praying that, she fell into a deep sleep until about 3:30 in the morning when she was awakened by the voice of The LORD booming on the inside of her. 'Regi,' He said, 'you have everything that I say you have. Just take it!' Oh, OK, Lord, she thought. Then, she heard His voice again, even louder: 'I said open up your mouth and take it!' “OK, Lord,” Regi replied aloud. “I have everything You say I have.” Repeating Himself for the third time, even louder, God said yet again, 'Open up your mouth and take it with authority!' So, Regi threw her left arm up in the air and shouted, “Father God, I have everything You say I have. I take it now by faith in the Name of Jesus!” As she spoke those words, the power of God hit her. She jumped out of bed and before she realized what had happened, she had walked across the room, stepped over the dog and was standing in the doorway, totally healed and 100% whole! “I’m so glad for the opportunity to share with people that God is real,” Regi says. “He’s alive, He loves all of us the same, and He wants to give us everything we need. All we have to do is put His Word in our hearts, open our mouths, and take it.” Couldn’t have said it better myself, Regi. Glory be to God and amen! V ******************************************** ******************************************** Take It to the Shepherds by Terri Copeland Pearsons Several years ago I was pondering the story of Christmas, looking to see past the images imposed by tradition that reduce the whole event to a Christmas card. Those kinds of impressions can become so established in your thinking that it takes a thought from the Holy Spirit to shake you loose. It’s kind of like having to sing one song to yourself to get rid of another that is stuck in your head (Disney’s “It’s a Small World” always works for me!). I wanted a Christmas thought that was outside the usual worldly or even Christian perspective. In short, I wanted a heavenly thought. Asking the Lord for insight into Him, followed by praying in tongues, is a sure way to open doors to mysteries. Oh, how the Lord loves to share His heart with those who are hungry to see into it! I really didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet insight He gave me. The first part of my answer came in the form of two questions: The first was, 'Who were the first ones to hear the good news?' The second was, 'Who was invited to first witness heaven’s crowning moment?' BVOV : 9
