ENDORSEMENTS

Awakening Your Prophetic Voice by Betsy Jacobs is an incredibly powerful and practical tool for every believer to personally connect with the voice of God for themselves. This is not just another book on how to prophesy over others, but rather an intimate guidebook into incorporating the prophetic into your own personal conversations with God.

Through vulnerable, raw, and often funny storytelling, Betsy shares from her own personal journey to impart revelation on both the prophetic and identity. This book is packed with inspiring stories that will keep you turning pages, and practical activation for incorporating the prophetic into your life as a daily practice. If youre a believer who waits on prophetic words from others, then this book will activate you into an exciting adventure and partnership to hear the Lords voice intimately for yourself, know who He has called you to be, and walk in His wisdom into your destiny!

I often assess the value of a story by how it challenges me to a higher level of living in Christ. Betsys story is both instructional and challenging. She writes authentically, candidly, and full of the passion God has place in her heart for others to hear the voice of God for themselves. I love it when I see God blend his heart with the unique makeup of one of his children resulting in a fresh expression of his thinking through them. As I read Betsys story I could hear the agelong desire in the heart of God once again being echoed through his servant Moses, I wish that all the Lords people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them. We now live in the realization of this cry. Take up Betsys challenge to step into your prophetic destiny!

I have known Betsy Jacobs for six years and have always enjoyed her personality and communication style. It is honest, and filled with humor and wisdom. If she is going to write, then of course I knew that these are the same traits her readers will experience. I really enjoyed reading her new book, and I know you will too. I highly recommend Betsy Jacobs work to you.

Betsy Jacobs invites you to awaken and activate a gift that the Holy Spirit has placed within every single believerthe prophetic voice. You have the ability to discern what God says about you, declare/prophesy it over your life, and start stepping into that destiny!

Over the last 20 to 30 years, it has been refreshing to see a renewal in the operation of the gifts of Holy Spirit in the church. This has been especially true concerning prophecy and prophetic ministry. How far weve come! At one point, the mention of the word prophet brought to mind images of fire-breathing, over-zealous preachers, glaring around the room looking for sins to expose and saints to shame. By Gods grace, that stigma has been demolished and a new standard has been raised up.

Betsy is a voice that God is presently using and will amplify to help a generation discover its own prophetic voice. Not everyone can get called out in a church gathering and receive a destiny-defining prophetic word. We celebrate the times this does happen, sure. But for you, the reader, if you never had someone else give you a prophetic word, I believe its possible for you to prophesy destiny over yourself. You can give yourself a prophetic worda word from Heaven that calls your real identity in Christ forth! You can position yourself for a prophetic encounter with the Holy Spirit! And this is where Betsy comes in. As a spiritual coach. As a mentor. As a friend. As someone who shares out of her own experience and testimony, Betsys refreshingly honest and non-religious writing will engage your mind while, at the same time, awaken your spirit to your prophetic identity in God.

I love her statement: Many of us want to hear what God has to say about our future, but we arent willing to do anything with the vision outside of being entertained by it. God gives us prophetic words; however, we are responsible for partnering with them. God sees us a certain way; we need to learn how to agree with His opinion, for Gods opinion about you is absolute fact! So get ready for something new and fresh from an emerging voice. I believe this easy-to-use mentoring tool will show you how to position yourself to receive prophetic words from the Lord, release them over your life, and partner with them so that your true identity in Christ comes forth and shapes your destiny!
