Don't lay there and take it anymore!

You need this book!! Here is your chance to learn from someone else's journey. Just because many have been blind to the fact that there has been a hellish strategy set for a hostile takeover of our lives and that of those we love doesn't mean it isn't happening every second and every minute of every day. Arm yourselves!

Spiritual warfare strategy - knowledge is power!

Before I read this book, I would have to say that my intercessory skills just barely scratched the surface - With the help of God through Cindy Jacobs in this book, I wage the prayer battle more effectively, hearing & praying the Lord's heart, and knowing when He is calling for prayer battle. I have also learned to understand the spiritual gifts that I have been given, and how to use them in Intercession. Thank you Cindy for sharing what God has poured into you with the world.

An Excellent Journeyman-Level Book on Intercessory Prayer

Foreword by the renown C. Peter Wagner. Intercessory prayer involves praying to God that specific evils will be defeated and that Good may triumph. Such Christian prayer groups are springing up across the nation, says the author. I recall an old saying that goes, "more has been wrought by prayer than the world knows." This is a valuable 271-page training manual for militant (aggressive) intercessory prayer by those saints who want to join the battle against evil. The author is the president of a Christian missionary organization dedicated to prayer and spiritual warfare. Cindy explains intercessory prayer definitions such as loosing and binding, supplications, breaking a yoke, tearing down strongholds, and much more, as well as providing valuable discussion, advice, case history, and much "how to" information. There is an excellent suggested reading list, index and a new study guide with group discussion questions. Whether a beginner pray-er, or an experienced intercessory prayer warrior, the book will be a valuable addition to your spiritual warfare library or the text in an intercessory prayer study course. Highly recommended.

Very in depth and easy to understand yet powerful

I found this book to be very helpful on the area of prayer/intercession. There are not many books which actually touch the topics that she discusses. It is written very clearly and she gives many examples, Bible scriptures plus personal experiences of hers or others to back up what she has said."Possessing the Gates" is not a book for someone who has a sceptical or critical heart about this area. It is a book to equip and instruct those who know or feel that they have a calling or gifting in the area of intercession.

For those who want to be prayer warriors

As Dr. C. Peter Wagner said in the forward of this book, this is not milk but meat for mature Christians. When I read this book about five years ago for the first time, I could hardly understand anything Cindy had explained. About two years ago I took the book off the shelf and read it again. Now every word struck my spirit. I started to understand what prayer really is. I have read this book more than five times now and every time I find new truth and the power of prayer. If you want to be more mature in your prayer life, you shouldnft miss this book
