Forerunners and Foot Soldiers with the Mantle of Elijah
I see many people running, so many that the dust is stirred up all around them. They are running in the Light of the Sun, a Golden Light all around them.
They are the Forerunners, the Foot Soldiers sent by God. And I see thousands upon thousands of people running.
And as they run, they take the hands of the people who are standing on the sidelines and these people start running with them also.
And I see this race with thousands upon thousands joining in. They become part of this vast “Running Army” as One.
This is not a race where one person wins, but all win!
“Beloved. You are My Forerunners. You are My Foot Soldiers.
Oh, this is not a glamorous task. Many seek fame and fortune, and comforts and amenities, but you are not of them.
I have called out out from among them to take on the hard things. You are the true Warriors of God, not afraid to get your hands dirty.
You are Forerunners sent in advance to secure a Place where others will follow. You are the Forerunners, who will bring others along with you.
They may not understand why. But they will join you as you run with the Spirit — and it will become clear.
You have entered the Holy of Holies, the Inner Sanctuary, where your Savior, Jesus, the Forerunner, entered on your behalf.
I made the way for you so that you take on My Mantle. You are runners in My Mighty Army.
Runners bring messages. You shall bring My Revelations from Heaven to earth to win souls.
You are Forerunners running ahead of the Army and you are also Runners, who deliver messages.
You will run in the Spirit and Power of Elijah.
You will be like Elijah, yet more powerful because of the Holy Spirit in you.
You live in the most corrupt of times as Elijah did, but your faithfulness and your boldness and the Power of the Prophet is working in you.
You will not be afraid to confront the enemy head on, knowing your Forerunner, Jesus, has gone before you. He will be dust under your feet.
You shall go on before the Lord, and you shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers.
Young and old alike shall come to salvation in Jesus Christ, the Messiah — and I shall anoint you with courage, strength, zeal, and boldness.
Oh yes, you are My Soldiers and My Peacemakers who will produce Harmony instead of chaos, Peace instead of strife, Life instead of death.
For there is only one LORD, the Commander of Heaven’s Army, the Father to the fatherless, the Husband to the widow, and by My Spirit, all causes of difference will be forgotten.
You live in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, but you shall shine as a Light in the world as you hold forth the Word of Life.
On the Day of Christ, you will see that you did not run or labor in vain. You are My appointed FORERUNNER and messenger to announce and proclaim My coming.
Keep running the race, Beloved. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.
Make ready My People. Prepare them for My Coming. Announce that the Messiah will soon appear. Many will be added to My Great Army.
The Breath and the Wind of God goes before you and is with you. My Mantle of the Spirit of Elijah rests upon your shoulders.
You shall shine like the Brightness of the Heavens, and you who lead many to righteousness, shall shine like the stars for ever and ever.
And you, My Righteous One shall shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of your Father.
It shall all be worth it, Beloved.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
FORERUNNER : Strong’s Greek #4274: A precursor, forerunner, advance guard. From the alternate of protrecho; a runner ahead, i.e. Scout. The word signifies an armed soldier who comes in advance to a place where the rest are to follow, or one who is sent on before as a scout to take observations. An advance messenger. A herald to announce another’s approach and a pioneer to prepare the way. One that goes before or announces the coming of another. Something or someone that acts as an early model for what will appear in the future. (Biblehub, Merriam Webster)
FOOT SOLDIER : Foot Soldiers are needed to gather information in the case where high tech warfare will be implemented to guarantee its effectiveness in strikes against the right targets and to protect innocent lives. A soldier who fights on foot; an infantryman. A person who carries out important work under the authority of another. A soldier who marches and fights on foot, an infantryman. A person who does active and difficult work for another. A laborer.
RUNNER : A runner was a soldier responsible for passing on messages between fronts during war. This was arguably the MOST DANGEROUS JOB OF ALL, since these soldiers obviously had to leave the safety of a trench, bunker or any other kind of shelter in order to move from one front to the other.
GO IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIJAH : Properly the power of a prophet, and to which all other gifts are subservient, the power of converting men. Those who put an end to the most bitter of quarrels. He shall meet with such glorious success in his ministry, as to convert the hearts of the fathers with those of the children. He shall go before Him — Namely, before Christ; in the spirit and power of Elijah — With the same integrity, courage, austerity, and fervor, and the same power of God attending his word. John the Baptist equaled, if not exceeded, Elijah in zeal for God, in severity of manners, in fortitude, and in sustaining persecutions. To make ready a people … – To prepare them for His coming by announcing that the Messiah was about to appear. (Ellicott Commentary)
