The Essential Guide to the Prophetic: How to Hear the Voice of God by Cindy Jacobs Book Review

In the Essential Guide to the Prophetic, Cindy Jacobs revealed to readers how they can also learn to hear from God and follow His direction and leading in their lives. She reminded readers how God spoke to and through people in the Bible. Some of these included: Moses, Gideon, Samuel, John, just to name a few. At four years old, she remembers declaring to her own mother that she would another baby and it would be a girl. Her parents were done having children but God had other plans. She explained a few different stories throughout the book about how she heard from God. She explained the numerous ways in which we can hear from God and these included, a strong impression, a spontaneous phrase or message, audible voice, dreams and visions, and prophetic word spoken from someone else. In the book, she looked at six different questions we can ask ourselves on discerning if a person’s who has spoken a prophetic word over our lives is correct in doing so. She also explored the protocol for prophesying and the spiritual issues we need to watch out for that can hinder us.   

 

 

I would recommend this awesome impactful book to anyone who is ready to listen to God. This book taught inspiring ways in learning how to tap into our prophetic gifts through us receiving our salvation. One of my favorite discussions were on the spirits to watch out for and to be careful in calling others these names: Saul, Jezebel, and Absalom. I thought these were very eye-opening and will help others and to create less of a blockage between a young leader and an older one. I also loved the topic of walking in integrity and she provided five ways in which we can conduct ourselves higher in our walk with God. I also loved the discussion on generational sins and how to break free from them. If you’re looking for an excellent guide on the prophetic, then read this book!

Possessing the Gates of the Enemy: A Training Manual for Militant Intercession by Cindy Jacobs Book Review

In Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, Cindy Jacobs explored the topic of prayer and how we can be intercessors for the Kingdom of God. She has rereleased this book as a fourth edition with updated content geared towards helping the new generation. Cindy Jacobs believes in the power of prayer and she is committed to praying regularly. She strongly believes Genesis 22:17-18 which discuss how God has said He would bless you and multiply our seed and we would possess the land of the enemy. And God said He would bless us and all the nations of the earth if we obey His voice. Throughout the book, she shared stories about how prayers saved people’s lives and has changed their circumstances. She also went into great detail about how the power of agreement and a very helpful sample prayer that you can pray with your friend. She explored the topic of binding and loosing satan and how we can seek freedom from his schemes. It was also beneficial that she discussed the different types of strongholds and how we can recognize when satan is trying to gain power and influence over our lives.

I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready to learn how to pray for others and how the power of intercession can change things. God will listen to us when we pray and when we come into agreement with others. This book is a guide to believers in learning how to actively pray and it will help readers to see if they have the gift of intercession. I really enjoyed the topics of the language of intercession, prophetic intercession, intercessory praise, corporate intercession, and reforming nations. I really connected with the discussion of joy and laughter and how we can use these tactics towards satan and his schemes. As we all know, the nation and the world needs our prayers and we can learn how to pray prayers that will make a difference. If you’re seeking an excellent book on the power of intercession, then read this book!
