What does that mean? Women have always been the backbone of the nations. There are certain inherent characteristics that the Lord has placed within a womanβtenacity, strength, endurance, love of children, and a righteous indignation against injustice. Of course, I am not saying that God is not also going to use men more and more powerfully as well. In fact, God wants to use men and women together to release His Kingdom principles in country after country.
In this new move of the Holy Spirit, there is a fresh need to look at women of the past who possessed a reformational anointing during their generation. The most outstanding example of this type of woman in Scripture is Deborah. She was a judge, prophet, valiant warrior, worshiper, and governmental leader all in one package.
There are many such women today. One of them is Jane Hamon. Consequently, she is one of the best people I know who could write on the subject of Deborah, and she has in her newly updated and expanded edition of The Deborah Company. She embodies the attributes of this biblical leader and possesses a God-given flame of righteousness.
Her prophetic word is sure and accurate, and she is a teacher of the Word, releasing revelation to the hearers. Why is it that this book is so important at this juncture of history?
While there are many women being stirred to rise up as biblical Deborahs, there are not many role models for leaders and emerging leaders to follow.
