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)
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our FORERUNNER, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:19-20
“And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1:17
“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16
“The child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel [as John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Messiah].” Luke 1:80
“You yourselves are my witnesses that I stated, ‘I am not the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed),’ but, ‘I have [only] been sent ahead of Him [as His appointed FORERUNNER and messenger to announce and proclaim His coming].’” John 3:28
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3

RUN…in the power of the prophetic! – Mantel w/the spirit of Elijah mighty woman of God!
A few years ago, my spirit was in a vision while my body was sleeping. I was holding on to something in the air with my eyes closed. It felt like I was standing on a railing. Clearly it was on God’s side. Soon, a loud, shouting sound came from far to the right: “It’s a nuclear weapon.” At that moment, a man said to me, “You go,” and my spirit was launched like a rocket against my will. My soul was heading toward the hazard. I felt really embarrassed as I flew away. Then my soul spread out its arms and attached itself to a large round sphere. Luckily it wasn’t visible. Nevertheless, I was so scared of the thought that I was holding something nuclear. At that moment, I could feel the spirits of other people attached to the sphere. I felt a little relieved. However, I was in a state of despair because I thought I was going to die. Soon the sphere exploded, and I gave up my will, praying in my spirit, “Lord, help me.” It felt like my spirit was shattered into dust. But what was surprising was that there was no pain and that I did not actually die.
Here’s what I learned. First, God can use the people he has trained as he wants, even if it is dangerous and it is beyond their will. Second, God called quite a few people to be intercessors in such a time as this. God let me see lots of people who were taking risks. Third, I thought I was going to die, but I didn’t die. “Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25) God has called, prepared, and will use many people. You may be among them. I believe and pray that as the prophet Deborah said above, many people/warriors will rise up with shining lights as Jehovah’s Army as written in Ezekiel 37. Praise the Lord.
