About the Book

Book Title: The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement  
Author: Debbie Kitterman  
Genre: Non-fiction, spiritual growth, charasmatic  
Release date: August 21, 2018

Deepen your relationship with God and embrace a life of encouragement by sharing God’s words with others.

When people think of prophecy, they often think of individuals in the Old Testament or certain personality-driven ministries today. They may think more about the prophet than the message.

But Jesus showed us God’s intention for prophecy by living in two-way communication with the Father and by embracing a lifestyle of encouraging others, changing lives in the process. We can do the same.

Clearing away the confusion about the prophetic gift today, pastor and ministry leader Debbie Kitterman reveals the good news about the gift of prophecy in this practical, powerful book: We are all prophetic because we all have direct access to God. Prophecy is an ordinary part of the Christian life. In fact, it is God’s way for us to encourage and strengthen the Body of Christ.

So open your ears to hear God and break out of your comfort zone to deliver His messages to those who need them most. Act now—His words can’t wait!

My Review
The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement "by Debbie Kitterman is another tool that God has used to show me that He wants me to follow Him more closely and look to Him and not the world. The author explains what prophecy is and why we all need to operate in it, especially Encouragement prophecy. She explains the difference between the Old testament prophecy and New Testament prophecy. The author goes into great details about the right and wrong way to deliver the prophecies  you hear.

This is a book that cover a lot of info but it is written in easy to follow language and isn't technical like a text book.  I am going to keep this book handy to reread over again because I didn't really study and take it all in because I was reading it for the blog tour.  My thoughts are; this is another book all christians should read. There is a section at the back of the book on how to enter into a relationship with God and one on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

After each chapter there is a section " Go Deeper,"  and an activation prayer to pray and a section to activate encouragement. These are all doable and I think they would be easy to follow.  I intend to do these in the near future and hopefully be able to share some great testimonies and great results and bring honor to Jesus.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Guest Post from Debbie

If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer never wavered. As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a wife, a mother, and a writer. As a young elementary age girl, I always had my head in the clouds dreaming up different stories. In fact, every Sunday afternoon after church I would be found with my notebook writing creative short stories and poetry while pretending to watch old westerns or kung-fu movies with my dad. I always dreamed I would write historical fiction stories with a splash of romance thrown in. I love historical fiction and it blends the two subjects in school that I loved, history and creative writing. However, through life’s circumstances and disappointments in college, I gave up on the writing dream. I let the dreams of one day being a writer slip away. I figured it must have been a little girl dream so I set it aside and moved forward through life. However, when God has a plan, there is no running from Him. I felt a stirring in my heart to write again after taking a trip to Wyoming and meeting a well-known fiction author. I came home from that trip and started writing only to hit a wall … the dreaded writers block and an uncertainty of what to do. Then the busyness of life took over and I again shelved the dream of writing. God let me go only so far, and then He began to stir me again. This time, He had other people confirm that yes, indeed it was time I stop running and start writing. I love how God is relentless and patient all at the same time. Never in a million years did I think that I would be an author of non-fiction books. The book “The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement: Hearing the Words of God for Others,” shares my journey of faith leading me to a deeper relationship with God. God not only longs to have His children speak to Him, but He longs to speak to us. Real relationships entail two-way conversation. God longs for His people to use all the gifts He has given them. This gift of prophetic encouragement is for everyone. It is simply sharing Holy Spirit-inspired words of edification, exhortation, and comfort to people as we go about our day-to-day life. Every Christ follower needs to follow the example of Jesus and operate in this profoundly encouraging gift. The Gift of prophetic encouragement breathes life, love and hope into the dry places of our lives. I invite you to join me on an adventure as we go deeper in our relationships with Jesus and discover how God will use us as a gift of encouragement. May we all rise to the challenge and dare to hear God today, so we can be a gift of encouragement to others. Blessings, Debbie Kitterman
