PROPHETIC WORDS
IT’S TIME TO RUN!
by Libby Huirua
Given in late December 2023
We were in a prayer meeting at the beginning of November, and I felt God say: “It’s time to run!” That statement had a picture attached to it, but I haven’t sensed to share it until now.
I saw a picture of someone crouching down in a starting position, on barren land, and it seemed desolate and as if they were alone. But I zoomed out, and saw there were others crouching and ready on that same land. Then as I zoomed out again, I saw others crouching in the same position, in the middle of a city. There were others crouching in university campuses, and others crouching in schools and childcare centres. Still others were crouching in workplaces and hospitals. And others crouching in theatres and entertainment spaces. There were still others crouching on sports fields and in stadiums. And a multitude crouching in their homes….and they were all READY!
As I zoomed out fully, I saw outlines of islands and nations all over the globe, and they were full of these crouching people.
I sensed God say “It’s time to run!”, and as these crouching ones stood up, they found they had rich, ruby red banners attached to their shoulders. As they began to run, the rich and silky banners billowed behind them, and settled on the area that they were running on, until every area was covered. I zoomed out once again, and saw whole nations covered in red.
And I sensed these banners were the blood of Jesus. It’s time to stand up, and run in His purposes, and cover our sphere of influence with the blood and truth of Jesus! LIVE His truth, love, grace, and FREEDOM! Let Him, and Him alone, be seen and known through our lives!
And I also felt the encouragement from God that this is a run that WILL NOT tire or deplete us, but energise and fuel us. Joy, and His pleasure, will be our portion as we run. There is all the grace, strength and grit we need when our eyes and focus are on Him alone!
This is not a time to hold back and self-preserve! IT’S TIME TO RUN!!!!
