She has been called "one of the most influential American prophets" by The New York Times.[3]

Early life and education

Jacobs was born in Texas;[4] she says that when she was only nine years old, she heard a call from God to read Psalm 2:8, and that this was decisive for her future as an international speaker.[2]

In 1975, she earned a B.A. in Music from Pepperdine University, Malibu, California.[1] [2]

Career

Jacobs was influential upon C. Peter Wagner's views on spiritual warfare.[5] Since 1999, Jacobs has been a prophet at Wagner's Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders. She is also part of other evangelical organizations and movements, such as Independent Network Charismatic Christianity,[6] Global Prophetic Consultation and Christ for the Nations Institute.[2]

Publications

Jacobs has written several books, including the bestsellers Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, The Voice of God and Women Rise Up!, and is the editor of the Women of Destiny Bible.[2]

Trump prophecy

A fervent supporter of Donald Trump, Jacobs said in an interview with Sid Roth that the number (20)17 (the year Trump began his administration) meant "complete victory". Additionally, the year 5777 in the Hebrew calendar (equivalent to 2016–2017 in the Gregorian calendar) would be the year of the "crowned sword", meaning the coming of a great authority, where the "sword of God" would cut off and all the evil intentions of "our enemies". She cited several prophets who had predicted that Trump would begin his administration at age 70, and that in fact, he was inaugurated at 70 years, seven months and seven days; that Trump would have been called by God to take over the United States government and that he would be anointed.[7]

Word of the Lord 2024

General International, an evangelistic organization created by Cindy Jacobs, published in its "Word of the Lord 2024" a warning for the United States. The warning is part of a compilation of supposed messages received from the Holy Spirit, by a group of 200 prophets from around the world, which would be "representative of different ethnicities and socioeconomic groups".[8] The message says:
