Today we’d like to introduce you to Deborah Allen.
Deborah, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I wrote my first book “Fierce” in about 90 days. “Fierce” was written doing the greatest battle of my life. It was birth by fire through my very existence. This book came forth doing a time of great tribulation and the testing of my faith. Fierce was penned doing the time right after my husband, Bishop Glen Allen Sr, was diagnosed with stage IV chronic lymphatic cancer. We must be strong, endure and fierce in every phase of our lives.
Fierce was birth after a difficult & traumatic season. At that time we had been married for 19 years and had a total of 9children. In December 2016 my husband, Bishop Allen, was hospitalized with back pain, abnormal x-ray and possible infection. Needless to say, we learned he had stage IV cancer and it had been growing inside his body for about seven years undetected. “Fierce” was written while dealing with the restructuring of ministry, children, work and many other things. I felt compelled and lead to come forth and be a strength, help and guidance to my family. This was a trying but miraculous time for us. God instructed me as a woman of God to lay hands upon my husband and pray for him. Many years ago God had put the gift of healing in my hands. Even as a youth my hands had healing virtue in them. Through the process of time God has sustained my husband and prayer has kept him! This is the season for God’s people to walk fiercely in him.
My goal in writing “Fierce” was to free up finances, build ministry, influence and resources. This tool was to lift the burdens from my husband. It was a defining moment for me that I knew I had to fight, push to sustain my family. As a wife, mother, and woman of God I had to stand and be strong and help lead my family and the ministry forward. I wrote “Fierce” to encourage and strengthen people to hold on and be strong. I wanted someone to know that no matter what you go through you can come through it. This book is a testimony of the victory that God brings into our lives. Fierce is the ability to be strong and hold on to God. I believe it’s important for others to see us go through great hardships and we be strong, remain and push through the things that can break us. Through the process of time God has touched my husband body. God has sustained him, us, and brought us forth. He hasn’t had to do any chemo or radiation. God’s hands has stopped the advancement of the cancer and given us favor. They now have a new medication that they allowed him to have that would extract the leukemia from his bones. This medication is extremely expensive and over $100,000 a year. God allowed him to be part of a special program at Siteman Cancer Center that covers this new medication.
God has granted favor and done the impossible. “Fierce” was written as the spirit of God moved upon me. God’s healing virtue and prophetic anointing is in this book. God has allowed me to come from behind the scene and step forward to be the woman of strength, purpose, and power he destined me to be. This is the divine season of manifestation and vision. God has revised the vision and breathed new life into the ministry! I’m a woman that has survived & I’m strong because of it. God has blessed me to be a warrior and soldier for him. I’ve been through molestation, an abusive first marriage, battered wife, teenage mother, and countless things yet God has birthed his purpose out of my life for his divine glory! As a leader, I want people to know that you can live, grow, and build despite your life circumstances! Jesus is able to heal, deliver, and sustain us doing every season of our lives & we are FIERCE in him. My book is a testimony of strength, endurance, and encouragement through the Lord. Fierce became its own movement in my life and the lives of many others. It birthed Fierce TV, Fierce Radio, Deborah Allen Ministries and Visionary Coaching & Consulting Group LLC.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. Purpose and vision are never easy but they are destined. Deborah Allen Ministries and Visionary Coaching & Consulting Group LLC was birth doing a very difficult and trying time. It came about as the result of God revising the vision for my life. God allowed the time that my husband was diagnosed with stage IV cancer to propel me forward. It gave me no more excuses and I had to come forth. It made me take stock of my life and fight for my vision, ministry, family and dreams.
