I watched an eagle riding the turbulent wind that swept off the towering snow-capped mountains. As he locked his wings, the updraft carried him into the upper atmosphere until he was a tiny speck barely discernible to the eye.

The wind howled in fury and tore at the leaves of the trees sending branches crashing to the earth. The eagle didn't even notice. Riding the wind is his natural element. The stronger the wind, the higher he flew. The wind is a natural element for our God as well. Psalm 18:10 says, "He rode upon a cherubim and flew; and He sped upon the wings of the wind." My thoughts have been full of references to the wind these days. God is sending the wind of His Spirit upon mankind in greater measure than ever before. I hear reports of outpourings of God in various parts of the world resulting in healing and salvation.

God is calling His people into an intimacy with Him that will cause us to rise above the difficulty in our lives. Adam and Eve knew the "wind of God". Genesis 3:8 states, they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. The word "cool" comes from the Hebrew word, ruwach, which means, "the creative word of God; wind, blowing, invisible, intangible, fleeting quality of air, element of life in a person." When God's Presence barely stirred the air, they immediately knew He was there.

Many years ago, the Lord drew me into His Presence and called me "Wind Walker". He revealed to me that He was teaching me to ride the wind with Him. I know now that He was speaking about moving into the realm of His Spirit, which has become very evident in my life and ministry today. Many groups from various areas of North America are joining hands with us. After much prayer and fasting, I felt the Lord directing me to establish an umbrella organization under the name of WINDWALKERS, International to more fully reflect the expanded scope of our ministry. Intercessors of Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Southwest Intercessors, Intercessors of Manhattan, and all the other groups and individual intercessors will be linked shoulder-to-shoulder as we lift a shield of faith and prayer over this continent and the world.

I am calling for our entire network to face into the "wind" and allow Him to lift us above the turbulence that is coming on the earth. Be not afraid. Be of great courage, dear ones, and stand face to face with Him.

I love you,
