PASTOR, THE POTTERS HOUSE NORTH

Pastor Deven Wallace has been fighting for women and their children for many years. She has been an avid advocate for helping to abolish human trafficking, is a voice for those who have no voice, and engages others to become warriors for the cause of Christ and against the things that hurt the heart of the Father. In her book The Warrior We Call Mom she lays out a strategy for every mom who is desperate to walk in her calling as a warrior mom to stand in the gap and make up the hedge to see the kingdom of God come and His will be done in our families. Knowledge is powerful, and this woman doesnt just give you vanilla, run-of-the-mill, worldly knowledge. She gives you knowledge through the living and breathing Word of God and revelation that has been downloaded from God to help change a culture. Be empowered, emboldened, and equipped to become that mom that every enemy from hell fears!

AUTHOR, WORSHIP LEADER, COPASTOR, WARRIOR MOM

It has been almost three years since my wife and I were swept into a life-altering move of God along with our dear friends Kevin and Deven Wallace. Out of this move of the Spirit an everlasting bond was created between our two families that we never could have dreamed was possible.

I am so stirred that Yahweh has called Deven to write this book and can think of no one more anointed to do so. Deven walks in an unusual and authentic mantle that is unlike anyone I have ever been around. The greatest manifestation of this mantle is made evident through her own children. It is simply amazing to witness the love of God and the Spirit of God that fills her children. Devens revelation concerning raising our children in the kingdom realm is life-giving and invaluable. I believe this book will be a catalyst in the lives of countless mothers who release the legacy of the kingdom into their children. Get ready! There is a generation rising, and they are filled with holy fire.

I have had the privilege of being a close friend of Devens for more than a decade, and of this I am certain: she is fierce when it comes to her children. She is a woman of prayer, and she mothers, preaches, and writes from that place. The revelation and practical material in this book will change you and how you see motherhood and therefore your children. As a mother of seven Im constantly looking for insight to be the best mom for my kids. I encourage you to read this book and then read it again! It will be life-giving to you and to your children.

T HE WELL-KNOWN OLD African proverb states that it takes a village to raise a child. I am convinced it is also true for publishing a book! This project was by no means the result of my own hands alone. I extend heartfelt gratitude and special thanks to the many labor doulas who stood by my side to see this goal accomplished. Above all I thank the sweet Holy Spirit for being the best friend and Counselor of this mother. I thank Him for being the greatest teacher, comfort, and guide on my crazy journey of motherhood. Any positive content of this book is the result of His infinite wisdom.

Thank you to my assistant and faithful partner in crime, Diethra Seymour. From advising to editing to being a personal cheerleader, thank you for seeing this through from start to finish. You never stopped pushing me, and you never stopped believing in me. I truly dont know if this project could have been completed without your effort and support.

I want to thank my husband and children for their patience with me during this process. Thank you, Kevin, for always releasing me to reach for the stars and obey the Lord in whatever direction He leads. Thank you, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Zion, and Judah, for encouraging me along the way, releasing me with personal stories from your lives, and carrying passion to demonstrate the kingdom of God every day! Everything I have learned about being a mother came from the hands-on experiences we have shared over the years. You are already changing the world around you, and I cannot wait to see what God unveils in each of your lives as you grow in Him. I love you and find the greatest honor and privilege of my life is being called Mom by each of you.
