There are 13 Bible Verses about Deborah in the KJV
Deborah (given name) Deborah (Hebrew: דְבוֹרָה) is a feminine given name derived from דבורה D'vorah, a Hebrew word meaning "bee.". Deborah was a heroine and prophetess in the Old Testament Book of Judges.
My word study journey has had such amazing discoveries with each page that is turned. Today I stumbled across not a word but a name. And I began to question why we do not know more about the women in this fascinating book we know as the Bible.
The only woman I knew of, of course, was Mary. Mother to our Lord and Savior. She is a beautiful soul and role model for all mothers. And she will be a great study for a later date. However, I fell across a character named Deborah and there is where this story began to take flight. She is described as a judge, a wife, a songwriter a prophet, and a warrior. Wait. Did I say, warrior? A woman warrior in the Bible? This was a new fact I discovered? Well only new to me. Lol, Because I have only been studying the Bible since Dec. 2019.
But as I began to read about Deborah, my imagination began to see this beautiful, strong intelligent, “warrior” woman. She possesses power and strength and has a relationship with God! She was known for her courage and is the only woman of the Hebrew Bible who gained notability on her own merit, not because of her relationship to a man. She is a fierce force to be reckoned with. As I moved through the scriptures, she became alive. She was dressed for battle in full breastplate, helmet, and sword but she relied deeply on God for her wisdom, strength, and courage.
So how can we relate? And how can we become warriors for God? We must rely on and pray and ask God to give us strength, wisdom, and power. God will give us the tools but wants us to prepare for battle. He wants us to become prayer warriors for our sisters, brothers, families, children, and our land. As women, we need to Step into our birthright as Warriors for God! He will deliver but we must heed His call and diligently pursue Him.
So, the question becomes are we ready?? Because I know He is waiting. Feel Him, Feel his Power rush through you. Hear His wisdom deep within your soul! let’s do this. No Fear! Rise up and find the strength and power that God has given you! Put your armor on.
Find that warrior deep within... and rise!... He is with you!
Find that warrior deep within... and rise!... He is with you!
