Welcome to my site

I am Stella Payton.
I am Chayil.

In 2010, God challenged me to write a book about the woman of Proverbs 31. Initially, I did not take the assignment. It wasn't until 2014, when God promised to give me a download of revelation about this amazing woman, that I surrendered to the idea and began to write. In 10 weeks, I completed the 40 lesson manuscript of The Chayil Woman, by the grace of God. Since then, discovering the depth of this woman has become my life's journey.

"It has taken me from this traditional description...
"Who can find a virtuous wife? for her worth is far above rubies."

to this revelation..

“Who can find a woman of courage, warfare, and valor; who has the capacity to access wealth and resources, using wisdom with strategy to establish the kingdom of God in the earth?”

This is the true meaning of Chayil. What a difference a download makes. If that definition speaks to you, we invite you to join us as we Become Chayil. You can see My Testimony on YouTube.  It is a story of breaking free from a poverty mindset. It is the journey of moving from the Bride of Christ to becoming the Wife of Christ. The Chayil Woman is a model of what the Wife of Christ looks like. That is who we, the Body of Jesus Christ, are becoming

“From Bride to Wife”- Comb Bound Version

In a world yearning for spiritual growth and personal transformation, "From Bride to Wife" presents an inspiring journey of kingdom readiness, steeped in the ancient wisdom of scripture. Drawing from the powerful message of Revelation 19:7, where we are called to prepare as the Lamb's wife, this book delves deep into the age-old question: "How does one make themselves ready?" The answer unfolds through a profound parallel, Proverbs 31:10-31 and Revelation 19:7-9. This book explores the timeless guidance found in the book of Proverbs 31 as an example and strategy for Revelation 19. Proverbs 31 is a model of what the Wife of Christ should look like.

Who am I…

I am a teacher, mother, sister, best friend, business owner, real estate investor, writer, singer, speaker, motivator, encourager,  believing believer, and most of a lover of his people. As I read my own simplified bio, I see a remarkable (although significantly smaller version) of the woman of Proverbs 31. I call her Chayil. But sometimes, life causes us to forget that we are indeed royalty. That’s when I look down at the CHAYIL BRACELET™ on my wrist and I am reminded that I am God’s beloved and my persona is rooted in him. You can see some of our many CHAYIL BRACELET DESIGNS HERE.ly entrust them not only the classic tasks but also the implementation of any idea of transformation!
