Cindy Jacobs

Cindy Jacobs (born 1951) is an American Independent Charismatic prophet, intercessor, speaker, author, and the co-founder (with husband Mike Jacobs, 1985) of Generals International (originally Generals of Intercession) — one of the principal contemporary intercession-and-prophetic ministries globally. She is a member of C. Peter Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation network and has been a prophet at the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) since 1999, alongside Dutch Sheets (Tier 1), Chuck Pierce (Tier 1), James Goll (Tier 2), and Mike Bickle (Tier 2, prior to 2023). The New York Times has described her as "one of the most influential American prophets." Her book catalog includes *Possessing the Gates of the Enemy: A Training Manual for Militant Intercession* (1991, multiple subsequent editions through 4th in 2018), *The Voice of God*, *Women Rise Up!*, and editorship of the *Women of Destiny Bible*. She and Mike Jacobs co-led Generals International as one of the foundational architects of modern strategic intercession and prophetic-territorial-warfare framework.

• Method and Validation — Affirmed substantively; *The Voice of God* articulates hearing-God methodology with substantial prophetic-stream emphasis.
• Intercession as Co Laboring — Affirmed substantively; "militant intercession" engages spiritual powers at territorial levels through strategic Spirit-led corporate prayer. Foundational architectural articulation; *Possessing the Gates of the Enemy* (1991) precedes Sheets's *Intercessory Prayer* (1996) in the modern-intercession-stream literature.
• Cessation — Strong continuationist; all gifts and offices operative. Jacobs is one of the principal living women in apostolic-prophetic-NAR-foundational role.
• Women in Ministry — Strong egalitarian; *Women Rise Up!* and *Women of Destiny Bible* are direct articulation. Women are called into apostolic-prophetic-pastoral-teaching offices with full authority and recognition.
• Declaration and Decree — Affirmed substantively; declaration of God's word in intercession is operational instrument.
• Spiritual Warfare Prayer Method — Strategic-warfare-intercession at territorial levels. Foundational articulation of Wagner-stream territorial-spirits framework in operative practice.
