I have witnessed and assessed her abilities and found her sensitivity to the Spirit of God displayed in keyboard mastery and vocal excellence. More important than the impressive display of her gift was the effect of peace and praise that those gifts had on the people ministered to.
  Their deliverance was evident.
  
  As a radio broadcaster and host of the morning show on the Sheridan Gospel Network(The Light), I broadcast to the largest gospel radio audience in the United States. Our network is composed of over 50 stations throughout the country, in which I have had the pleasure to meet many of the leaders of the gospel music industry and Deborah Stephens measures up to the best of them. When she ministers you will receive the excellence of Christ.

Her feminine and graceful aura permeates any room she graces. Since I have known her, I have found Deborah to be a woman of impeccable integrity and indomitable patience.
  
  The message that is delivered in her song through praise and worship taps deep into the inner sanctum of the soul.Thank God that Deborah has heard the voice of the Lord and desires so much to remain in his perfect and divine will. Upon hearing his beckoning call on her life, she realizes he has endowed her with a ministry of compassion that extends beyond the keyboard, podium, and pulpit. This fact is radiated in her entire persona.
  
  We here at Tabernacle of Refuge Ministries are so grateful for the times that Deborah has allowd herself to become a fountain from which we were able to draw upon a spiritual refreshing and renewed strength for our inner being. It is our sincere prayer that the Lord will open new doors and re-open closed doors by which this vessel of honor may be used to help to tear down Satan's kingdom in this last day revival.

Her gift of singing and music is evidence that the Holy Spirit of God is resident in her being. Deborah has a very generous but wise spirit and the "gifts" and the "fruit" of the Spirit are in excellent working operation in her life. We all have the opportunity to go from Glory to Glory, and Deborah is no exception, however, this area of opportunity does not prohibit her from availing the alreay ripe and precious gifting the Lord has blessed her with, in ministry.
  
  Deborah is a perfect example of the "saints of old" who did not wait until man said "go"... she proceeds by the leading of the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to order her steps, giving pleasure and healing to the Body of Christ and ultimate Glory to God. Her voice has been compared to many great singers... however, I believe, she is exquisite and unique, her skill honed in to the voice and whispers of God. A very rare ability. Her character is pointed upward to God and has now entered the part of her life and maturity in Christ where nothing else matters. She breathes the same atmosphere as the Holy Spirit. It has been my pleasure to stand beside her as a friend and I am humbled by the Divine Favor God has placed on her life. This is only an introduction.

Fort McPherson and within the Headquarters of the Georgia Army National Guard. Deborah has a quiet Christian demeanor, character, witness and she has a strong desire to serve God. She is anointed and I can confirm that she has been called of the Lord to not only sing, but preach the Gospel.
  
  I contracted Deborah to present Christian and Patriotic music to our "Building Strong Ready and Families" Conference held in Savannah, GA, which was the first pilot model held in the United States. More than 77 couples, along with Chaplains and Pastors. Deborah gave Christian presence, music and testimony literally every day, she gave a music presentation and testimony which assisted to inspire 35 couples in the rededication of their marriage together as husband and wife.
