“Few people could write a book that would become both a beginner’s guide and a leader’s manual. Cindy Jacobs has done just that in Possessing the Gates of the Enemy . Powerful and practical, informative and inspirational—it just doesn’t get any better than this classic. Read the book that helped launch the great worldwide prayer movement of the last thirty years!”
Dr. Dutch Sheets, Dutch Sheets Ministries
“Cindy proves two things in Possessing the Gates of the Enemy : (1) You will be convinced of God’s caring nature in sharing with those who will pray with Him over His ever-expanding Kingdom. (2) You will feel called and equipped in a new way, maybe even drafted for the first time into the office of intercession. I have always said I am not an intercessor, but I found myself in the pages of this book. I also grew hungry for so much more as she related all these historic and fantastic stories of God’s divine intervention. I agree with what the late, great Peter Wagner said in his foreword—this is truly a classic. The theology, her life experience, the spiritual street smarts that you will gain from your read will invite you into a new place that will change you forever!”
Shawn Bolz, president, Bolz Ministries
“There are several books that all saints must read to understand the war of the Kingdom of God. Possessing the Gates of the Enemy is one of those books! I was privileged to work with Cindy Jacobs during the time that she was developing the revelation that is contained in this book. My whole life has been a quest of understanding how to recover a lost inheritance. This book was instrumental in showing me not only how to recover but how to possess the gates of the enemy.”
Dr. Chuck D. Pierce, president, Global Spheres, Inc., and Glory of Zion International
“ Possessing the Gates of the Enemy is a classic jewel in the catalog of writings on prophetic intercession and warfare. This fourth edition is truly exciting because of its timely updates, which are a gift to a new generation of impassioned believers and world changers. My dear friend Cindy is a general in the faith and a general of intercession who has paved the way for women and men alike to rise up and take their place on the wall of a national and international prayer movement. Cindy carries such authority in the area of the prophetic and intercession, and she has been a significant prophetic voice in my life and ministry. Possessing the Gates of the Enemy has borne good and lasting fruit over the years since its first publication, pairing wisdom with revelation and opening eyes to the heart and ways of the Lord and all He has asked us to partner in with Him. For us to see revival and the reformation of society take place, a true call to prayer and intercession is necessary for the mountains of society and culture to reflect and “become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ” (Revelation 11:15). Possessing the Gates of the Enemy is instructive and insightful, helping us to usher in revival.”
Dr. Ché Ahn, president, Harvest International Ministry; international chancellor, Wagner University (formerly Wagner Leadership Institute)
“As time passes, this book remains relevant and powerful! Cindy Jacobs is a seasoned end-times prophet who brings deep revelation and practical advice on intercession to help believers—from beginners to experienced leaders—fight back against the powers of darkness and experience the fullness of God’s blessings for their lives.”
Apostle Guillermo Maldonado, founder and senior pastor, King Jesus Ministry, Miami, Florida

Foreword
by C. Peter Wagner
T he book you hold in your hands now qualifies as a classic. What is a classic? The dictionary says it is a literary work of the first rank, especially one of demonstrably enduring quality. Possessing the Gates of the Enemy fits that description.
Over the years I have built quite a library on prayer and spiritual warfare. None of the other books approaches the content of Possessing the Gates of the Enemy.
Not many people are equipped to write a book like this. There may still be some segments of the Body of Christ that are not quite ready for it, but my hope is that they soon will be. This is not the milk of the Word, it is meat; and a certain amount of Christian maturity is necessary for it to be adequately digested. But God has been doing remarkable things across the lines of different ecclesiastical traditions these days, and that has been producing new and fresh maturity in the area of prayer.
Indeed, we now find ourselves well into the greatest worldwide prayer movement in history. It began around 1970 and has steadily been gaining influence, strength and momentum. Since then, prayer ministries, prayer leaders, prayer for cities and nations, prayer conferences, local church prayer programs and books on prayer have been multiplying. There is a growing quantity of prayer across regional and denominational lines that amazes many. The latest addition has been Cindy Jacobs’s powerful Reformation Prayer Network.
All this is why I am excited that Possessing the Gates of the Enemy is now available in a revised and updated form. We need to get back to the basics, and the basics of strategic-level intercession are right here.
Seven characteristics blend together to establish this book in the category of a classic.
It is personal. Cindy Jacobs is an outstanding woman, wife, mother, teacher, learner, preacher and intercessor. My wife, Doris, and I consider it an honor to count her as one of our closest personal friends. As you read this book, you will get to know Cindy as an unpretentious person who shares both laughter and tears, victory and defeat, all in the context of transparency and integrity.
It is biblical. While this is not an expanded sermon series or Bible study, Cindy takes great pains throughout the book to relate whatever she teaches to Scripture. She is focused on testing all that she says and does against the Word of God.
It is informed. Few Christian leaders have moved as extensively both nationally and internationally as has Cindy Jacobs. She has accumulated profound firsthand knowledge of what is going on in today’s world and how prophetic prayer can advance the Kingdom of God. You will see that reflected on page after page.
It is compassionate. Cindy is not afraid to step out of the box and address cutting-edge issues that may pull some readers out of their comfort zones. Still, she is able to do this in a gentle way that avoids any haughtiness or self-righteousness. She allows you to disagree with her and still be friends!
