“Oh, Hannah,” he said, “I wish you’d come sooner. Your body has a clotting problem. Blood clots are cutting off the blood supply to your babies. A baby aspirin isn’t strong enough to stop the condition. The next time you get pregnant, let me know and I’ll prescribe injectable blood thinners.” The next step in Hannah’s plan to carry a baby to term was to leave her OB group and find a different doctor. A new female doctor in the group told her: “Hannah, I had the same problem you do. I want to be your doctor. Give me a chance, and I’ll walk you through this.” Now Hannah felt better. She had a plan. That was one of her strengths. She liked to plan and organize and get things going. As it happened, Terry needed those strengths in his life. But Terry and his family had something Hannah didn’t. They knew how to live by faith. Life of Faith “My dad, Terry Minor Sr., was a big man, both physically and spiritually,” Terry says. “He was pastor of New Life Fellowship Church in Knoxville, Tenn. The year before I was born, he discovered the Word of Faith. Dad became friends with Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, spending time in their home. “Growing up, our house was filled with their books, tapes, CDs and magazines. I knew from an early age that God’s Word does not return void. “Before going into the ministry, Dad played football for the NFL. I always assumed I’d follow him to the NFL, but when I got to college to play football, I knew it wasn’t where I was supposed to be. I dropped out and told my dad that I didn’t know what to do with my life. I wanted God’s will. “Dad prayed with me and a few weeks later I had a dream. I was standing on a dark stage. I had a microphone in my hand, and each time I said something, a light flickered on and I saw more and more people until the crowd was massive. Then I heard these words, 'You’ve got a voice. Use it.' “I woke knowing I was called to music. In the back of my mind, I thought that when I was too old to sing, God might call me to preach.” When Terry Minor Sr. realized his son was called to a music ministry, he took him to a store that sold the best music equipment. “Make a list of what you want,” he said. “I’ll pray with you, and you believe you receive it.” Within a year, God had provided the money needed to purchase that equipment. “In 2008, the Lord told me, 'Jesus is your booking agent,'" Terry remembers. “I began writing music, recording it and posting it online. Then I’d pray. People saw my posts and booked concerts. Signs, miracles and wonders followed at my concerts. God was blessing my music ministry, but I knew we needed to take a stand on God’s Word regarding our children. We stood on Psalm 91:11, Isaiah 53:5 and Isaiah 54:17.” While Terry pursued his music career, the Lord began cultivating a women’s ministry in Hannah. She noticed that young girls were asking makeup artists on YouTube® for life advice about how to handle depression and anxiety. A makeup artist herself, Hannah developed her own YouTube channel, posting fashion, makeup and ministry videos. In addition, she wrote two devotionals for women. A Sudden Shift During that time, in mid-2015, something began happening to Terry. He developed a voracious appetite for God’s Word. He couldn’t get enough of it, often staying up studying late at night. On the evening of March 3, 2016, Terry and his father watched the TV show Duck Dynasty together. Afterward, Terry Sr. went to bed while his son stayed up studying his Bible. At some point, Terry dozed off. He roused around 1:30 in the morning as his dad walked by his office, stopped and smiled at his son. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Terry Minor Jr. The single “Favor Flow” is Terry’s newest release. * * * * * story continues on p. 15 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FEBRUARY Read Through the Bible Old Testament / New Testament Thu 1 Ex. 23-24 / Matt. 24 Fri 2 Ex. 25-27 / Matt. 25 Sat 3 Ex. 28 Sun 4 Ps. 18; Prov. 3:19-35 Mon 5 Ex. 29 / Matt. 26 Tue 6 Ex. 30-32 / Matt. 27 Wed 7 Ex. 33-34 / Matt. 28 Thu 8 Ex. 35-37 / Mark 1 Fri 9 Ex. 38-40 / Mark 2 Sat 10 Lev. 1-4 Sun 11 Ps. 19-21; Prov. 4:1-19 Mon 12 Lev. 5-7 / Mark 3 Tue 13 Lev. 8-9 / Mark 4 Wed 14 Lev. 10-12 / Mark 5 Thu 15 Lev. 13 / Mark 6 Fri 16 Lev. 14 / Mark 7 Sat 17 Lev. 15-16 Sun 18 Ps. 22-24; Prov. 4:20-5:14 Mon 19 Lev. 17-18 / Mark 8 Tues 20 Lev. 19-20 / Mark 9 Wed 21 Lev. 21-22 / Mark 10 Thu 22 Lev. 23-24 / Mark 11 Fri 23 Lev. 25 / Mark 12 Sat 24 Lev. 26-27 Sun 25 Ps. 25-27; Prov. 5:15-23 Mon 26 Num. 1 / Mark 13 Tue 27 Num. 2 / Mark 14 Wed 28 Num. 3 / Mark 15 BVOV : 13
