“Yeah,” Terry Jr. said before opening his Bible again. Neither knew that would be the last conversation they would share together on this side of heaven. “Dad died that night,” Terry recalls. “It was sudden and devastating to us all. Dad was the king of the house. He was our hero and leader. None of us could imagine what life would be like without him. Although I didn’t admit it at the time, I knew in my spirit when he passed, that I was supposed to take over as pastor of the church. I couldn’t imagine filling his shoes or taking his place. I told the Lord right away that I needed a spiritual father. “My life changed overnight. Now I understood what God had been preparing me for all those nights in the Bible. I had to get the Word in me to handle what was coming. In addition to my concerts, I found myself preaching on Sunday and Wednesday, and hosting a prayer group on Tuesday. Meanwhile, I prayed that Brother Copeland would ordain me.” One Word From God Four months later, in July 2016, Terry and Hannah attended the Southwest Believers’ Convention. They were sitting in the service when the Lord spoke to Terry. 'He’s going to call you down and ordain you here. Tell Hannah.' Terry leaned over and said, “It’s about to happen!” Hannah turned to him with a blinding smile. “Oh, OK.” A little while later, Kenneth Copeland called Terry to the front. Holding his hands, he introduced him saying, “This is my son, Terry Minor Jr.” He ordained Terry and said, “Take your place and rejoice, for the time you longed for has come to pass.” Then he called Hannah forward. “As soon as he grabbed my hand, I felt the power of the Holy Spirit going up through my arm,” Hannah remembers. “I grew up Baptist. I learned about the love and compassion of God. But I’d never experienced the heat that shot up my arm.” Then Brother Copeland grabbed Hannah’s belly and said, “By this time next year, you will have a healthy baby!” “I knew I was healed,” Hannah says. “I knew that this time it would be easy.” True to God’s word, Hannah got pregnant again. As soon as she did, she went to the hematologist’s office to pick up the injectable blood thinners. By the time she got home, she was bleeding. “Terry,” she said, “I’m kind of in unbelief. I’m having signs of miscarriage.” Terry sat her on the couch. “Look,” he said, “we’re going to stand for this baby. We won’t give place to fear, doubt or unbelief. We will see this child in nine months.” Hannah forced herself to ignore the bleeding and focus on God’s Word. She tuned in to Gloria’s Healing School. She spoke the Word of God and prayed over her medication. Partnering With God “By now we were living in a townhouse,” Hannah explains. “Every time I saw blood, I loudly shouted God’s Word, not caring what our neighbors thought. I confessed Psalm 91:11, ‘For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways’ ("New King James Version"). I confessed Isaiah 53:5 ("NKJV"), ‘But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.’ I declared Isaiah 54:17 ("NKJV"), ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn.’ “The more the symptoms progressed, the more I pressed in to the Word of God. I continued to bleed for two months. During that time, we didn’t tell people. I just stayed home. After two months, I went a week without bleeding. The doctor released me to go back to work a few days a week. “Fear tried to creep back as I drove to work thinking of how long I’d be on my feet. I determined to take my thoughts captive and stay in a mindset of faith. I refused to let my thoughts be about fear. Six months into the pregnancy, I finally relaxed.” On May 26, 2017, Hannah gave birth to a healthy baby boy. They named him Terry Minor III. Today, while delighting in her role as a mother, Hannah also livestreams on Facebook two to three times a week on topics such as fashion, makeup and ministry. Her women’s devotionals are being used to minister to women working in strip clubs and brothels, and those being rescued from sex trafficking. “Although my dad didn’t live long enough to see my son,” Terry says, “he prayed for us and was believing with us for this child. “Being Partners with KCM means more now than ever. It’s one thing to partner with Netflix. People do that without a second thought. But I want to partner with God’s work. They prayed for us when my dad died. They prayed for us about our child. They prayed for us…today. And for all they do in God’s kingdom, we enjoy the benefits. I got a spiritual father. Hannah and I received our child of promise.” V * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Join Terry, Hannah & the rest of our Holy Ghost Gang of believers. PARTNER WITH KCM TODAY!
