# Cindy Jacobs Cindy Jacobs is the **dean of the American prophetic movement** — the single most credentialed, longest-tenured, and institutionally central prophet in the [[New Apostolic Reformation]]. Where [[C. Peter Wagner]] organized the apostolic side of the movement, Jacobs organized the prophetic side. She co-founded (with her husband Mike Jacobs) **[[Generals International]]** in 1985, has served on the **Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders** since its founding, and has been commissioned as a prophet by Wagner himself. Jacobs is also the prophet whose credibility is most frequently invoked to legitimate *other* prophecies — when a Trump prophecy needs a senior voice to endorse it, Jacobs is typically that voice. ## Background - Born 1951 in Dallas, Texas - Married Mike Jacobs in 1973; the two have co-led Generals International since 1985 - Based in Dallas–Fort Worth - Author of numerous books including *Possessing the Gates of the Enemy*, *The Voice of God*, *Reformation Manifesto* ## Generals International and the Prophetic Infrastructure Jacobs' organization, **[[Generals International]]**, serves several functions for the broader movement: - A prophetic training school producing thousands of credentialed intercessors and "prophetic ministers" - A coordinating body for intercessory prayer campaigns targeting specific nations, elections, and spiritual-warfare objectives - A publishing and media operation distributing prophetic content - A hub for relationship-building across the NAR apostolic networks This makes Generals International one of the movement's most important *institutional* nodes — a rare example of organized apostolic infrastructure in an otherwise network-driven movement. ## Prophetic Doctrine Jacobs' theology of prophecy is more developed and systematic than most NAR figures. She distinguishes between: - **Foretelling** (predicting specific future events) - **Forth-telling** (declaring God's current word to a situation) - **Governmental prophecy** (addressing nations, rulers, and systems) Her framework emphasizes that prophecy should be *accountable* — tested by fulfillment, corroborated by other prophets, and delivered within apostolic covering. In practice, this self-regulation structure has consistently failed under political pressure: Jacobs herself prophesied a Trump 2020 victory and, like nearly all her peers, did not publicly repent when Biden was inaugurated. ## Political Activation Jacobs has been consistently present at major NAR political moments: - Signed the 2011 Response prayer rally document (the [[Rick Perry]]-headlined event that effectively launched the NAR into Republican presidential politics) - Prophesied over Trump at multiple events during his 2016 campaign and presidency - Served on Trump's evangelical advisory circles - Released multiple post-2020 prophecies declaring the election stolen and predicting Trump's restoration - Featured speaker on [[Kenneth Copeland]]'s *FlashPoint* and the [[ReAwaken America Tour]] circuit ## Why She Matters for the KB Jacobs provides the **prophetic legitimacy backbone** of the modern NAR. Younger prophets cite her endorsement; apostolic networks invite her presence to signal authenticity; and her generational seniority means she is one of the few figures who can both correct other prophets *and* be publicly corrected by them without the correction collapsing the movement. The fact that someone with her institutional gravitas fully endorsed the Cyrus prophecy and the 2020 election-denial campaign is a major reason those narratives consolidated across the movement rather than fracturing it. ## See Also - [[Generals International]] - [[New Apostolic Reformation]] - [[New Apostolic Reformation Ecosystem]] - [[C.
