The Chayil Woman: The Virtuous Woman revealed
Stella Payton Few people realize that the word virtuous is translated from the Hebrew word** CHAYIL. **To the King James Translators, the word virtue was emphasized for good reason. Religious crusade wars had waged for over 200 years. These wars took men away from their families for years at a time. While they were gone, it was important that the “virtue” or moral character of their women remain intact in their absence.However, for a Hebrew woman, moral purity was a given. To do otherwise meant a swift death. Thus, Chayil in its original framework is ESHET CHAYIL meaning woman of VALOR. It is great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle. It implies bravery & courage—doing what frightens you. Or pluck—the kind of daring that enables you to quickly remove someone from a dangerous or unpleasant situation. Chayil is nerve—braced mentally to face demanding situations. She is audacious—taking bold risks with confidence. A Chayil woman has backbone—strength of character, will and determination; Spirit—energy with determination and assertiveness; and guts—personal courage with tough character, true grit—courage with resolve. She is a woman with moxie—force of character with determination and nerve. This is a true Chayil Woman. And these are the characteristics women need today.Chayil is a representation of the Body of Christ for our time. She is a symbol of what the Kingdom of God can do to release the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. This is the season for the Warrior, the Wealth and the Wisdom of the Chayil Woman to manifest.
