Last night, at the beginning of our call, we went through Exodus 14. What a powerful reminder of how the Lord fights for us, especially when we are backed up against a wall. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever, and He will fight for us when we seek His face.

Then we went to prayer. As the night went on, one after another we repented, seeking the face of God on behalf of our nation, I could sense as God began to move...! Then, a shift occurred in the heavenlies! Here in Fresno County, we witnessed a prophetic shift in the winds and a profound heavenly display of the Lord's response to our time of prayer!

The winds shifted? Yes, we had a tornado warning! In over 50 years of living in Fresno County, I can remember two distinct tornado warnings, we simply do not have tornadoes here. One was 30 years ago, a violent thunderstorm was approaching, and then a tornado warning went forth. Both, incredibly rare. I stepped outside to view this “storm” obviously was very skeptical, we get earthquakes, not tornadoes. However, the moment I stepped off my porch and looked up; I saw the “storm” and it was indeed forming its tornado right over my property!

All skepticism vanished and I ran inside and called my Mom. She instructed me to “go back outside, take authority and speak to that storm!” then she hung up. I obeyed. I went outside and began to pray in the Spirit. As the Spirit welled up with in me, I spoke to that storm and under the unction of His Spirit I declared “it must unwind, it is not His time!” The storm, which seconds ago were raging, green, and violent in nature, began to unwind right before my eyes. The sun appeared and it dissipated.

As I walked into my home, the words I declared “it must unwind, it is not His time” seemed such an odd decree, yet it went deep and imprinted into my spirit.

 

I continued to pray.

 

This morning I awoke with both clarity and understanding.

30 years ago, the declaration was “it must unwind, it was not His time.” Let me explain:

 

A tornado often represents a violent uprooting, devastation, and chaos. It comes unexpectedly, sweeping across the landscape and wreaking havoc. In just moments, it can uproot and erase an entire town from existence. It can bring fear and often appears to hold the power of life and death as it wages war on the land.

 

For a tornado warning to come in an unexpected region may appear rare to the everyday citizen. But we have dual citizenship, Heavenly and earthly, so we have the privilege of His revelation.

To have a tornado warning in the middle of our Passover Gathering of the Eagles, while we are praying for an unraveling of corruption at the deepest levels is profound. To have a tornado warning in the middle of the Gathering, during “2026, the Year of Open Books” in which the Lord has said, “the corruption is going to be exposed and brought down” is profoundly prophetic.

 

It is time my friends, now rejoice in the storm!

 

Why now? Why not thirty years ago? Because thirty years ago, the world did not know the depth of corruption that was sown into our nation, so uprooting it would not have been consequential, nor would it have been retained and maintained. Today, we know. The whole nation knows and understands that the corruption, fraud, waste and abuse exist. They may not want to admit it, but they know. Every time I turn around, I hear of another group that’s committing billions of dollars’ worth of fraud. It’s time, now rejoice in the storm!

 

Repentance has opened the door for God to move, and now, He says “Speak to the Storm, it’s time, now rejoice in the storm!” God is going to deal with the enemy! The repentance over the sins of the past has paved the way for a violent uprooting and devastation of a corrupt system that must come down!

 

I just want to add, we cannot fear the chaos, we are intercessors, warriors for the Kingdom of Heaven, God is cleaning up our nation and paving the way for a move of God to sweep the land. If you read the vision of the Lord, “Weeping and Sweeping” you’ll understand the final outcome of what God is doing. I encourage you to read it and prepare to be part of the retaining and maintaining.

 

Be encouraged my dear brothers and sisters! The wind and the waves still know His name and they recognize His voice. They are ready and willing to receive His commands! So, when He says the winds of change are here, in the Year of Open Books, and the corruption the enemy has sown into our land for decades, is being uprooted, we must rejoice!! This is His timing my friends! Let us continue to speak to the storm and lend our voice to the Lord in prayer. Our PHONE Passover Gathering of the Eagles concludes tonight! Join us for this powerful time of intercession and warfare!

Blessings in Him,

Ricci Johnson-Wilson

See you tonight at 4:30 PT
