Cindy Jacobs tells followers how to "lay siege" to their cities

Earlier today, I found a real lulu of an article in Charisma magazine penned by Cindy Jacobs.  In her latest piece, Jacobs muses on what to do about how to combat ungodly influences in our cities.  Her solution?  Lay siege to them through prayer.

The army of God is on the move and ready for battle strategy. A new breed of watchmen is emerging across the nations. This breed is ready to lay siege to its cities.

Ezekiel 4 gives a prophetic pattern for establishing the lordship of Christ in your area. Ezekiel was called of God to perform an intercessory act over the city of Jerusalem, much like Joshua when he was called to march around Jericho. Ezekiel's prophetic intercession provides a model—with principles found throughout the Word of God—on how to intercede for a city against spiritual strongholds.

It may look innocuous, but you have to remember that Jacobs and others of her ilk believe that in order for Jesus to come back, Christians must take over all aspects of our culture.  So when Jacobs is calling for intercession against "strongholds," she is calling for her followers to pray against anything and anyone who isn't under "submission" to those of her ilk.

How are they supposed to do it?  According to Jacobs, there are four steps.  First, make a map of the "strongholds" in a city, set a strategy to intercede for the city, implement it, and build a "wall of protection" around it.  

As part of this strategy, "watchmen" should be placed at various points to "spy out, research and harass the enemy through intercession."  This is all too familiar to me.  For those who don't know, during my freshman year at Carolina I was tricked into joining a campus ministry affiliated with one of the more notorious dominionist/NAR outfits, Every Nation (which is itself a repackaging--or at least a linear descendant--of one of the more notorious campus cults of the 1980s, Maranatha Campus Ministries).  They believed that God had "strategically" placed Christians all around the campus.  Although it was never said, it was strongly implied that we were supposed to befriend people only with the purpose of converting them.

As anyone who's delved into these people knows who Jacobs thinks the enemy is.  This is a woman who once declared war on separation of church and state and once said this country was in for a major "shaking" unless it elected more Republicans.



Display:
The Assemblies of God churches that I attended in the late 70s and early 80s, and their ersatz "college students" that I hung around with openly stated that the only legitimate reason you could be friends with an "unbeliever" was to convert them, and you were encouraged to make friends for the purpose of proselytizing, but for proselytizing ONLY.  Otherwise you were NOT to be friends "with the world" and indeed, the attitude was that non-dominionists (or non-proto-dominionists) were contageous with "demons" and that we were otherwise supposed to avoid the Other like the plague.

If it looked like you were enjoying the friendship you'd made (for the purpose of trying to 'save' someone) and it was getting beyond just for conversion, they'd get concerned and counsel you - you were never to forget that your only reason for "being friends with the world" was to get them to become "Christian".  They were rather subtle and sneaky about it too... and those were the best description of the techniques you were supposed to use.  (Deception used in proselytizing was OK - you were supposed to be "wise as serpents".)

I also know that shortly after I'd walked, a big new teaching about seeking out people's weak points for the purpose of having a "doorway in" was being pushed (there were hints of it during my "Pentecostal" days).

This is completely a religious-based site and it used to discuss the religious matter and the issues faced by the people. laptops in oman I seldom visit the page as I am not that interested in the religious matter. In the current post, they have discussed about the Cindy Jacobs tells followers how to "lay siege" to their cities
