The Deborah AnointingSample

Deborah the Prophetess

Deborah was one of the judges of Israel during a time of oppression. As both a judge and a prophetess, she was careful to voice God’s will and not her own. God used her to deliver His messages to the people.

Deborah stood in the council of the Lord and heard and perceived His word for a generation. She heard and released God’s heart and mind to the children of Israel in a time when no one else could hear His voice.

In the troubled times many people lose their hope, an expectation of good. The plans and the dreams to which they have given their lives can collapse. Often they will feel as if God has abandoned them.

Nations will need prophets who can give new vision in these times of transition. Deborah the prophetess had tremendous vision and resolve that came from the heart of the Lord. Prophets will explain how God is at work in what appears to be a disaster. Prophets can see what is happening in the future plan of God.

It is an honor and a privilege to be called as a prophet of the Lord. Deborah’s primary assignment was to see beyond the present situation and bring the purposes of God into sharp focus. Siersa and his nine hundred chariots appeared to be undefeatable, but the prophetess Deborah could see in the spirit that there were more for the army of Israel than against them. The spirit of might caused miracles to happen upon the earth.
