[1 Cor 9:24-25]
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. NIV
[Hebrews 12:1-2]
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. NKJV
(Philippians 3:7-11)
But what things were gain to me [Paul], these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. NKJV
I sat in deep Spiritual meditation as the Holy Spirit showed me the following Vision:
I saw at least four bodies. They were young, lean males. They all had on a different colored track suit (shorts and tanks), and they were all obviously track runners. I believe they were at a college track meet.
I was both surprised and horrified to see that they were in a heap wrestling around on the ground. The young man dressed in a black tank and shorts (uniform) was on top of the others and holding them down on the ground. He obviously didn’t want any of them to run in the race. He was not smart enough to realize, or he didn’t care that he was keeping himself from running also.
Within the heap, a runner dressed in blue was positioned immediately underneath him within the heap. Off to my left, and slightly under the blue runner was the red uniformed runner; and under him was a runner in a white uniform. The red and the white uniformed runners were under a great deal of stress because both the black uniformed runner and blue uniformed runner laid on top of them.
Suddenly a Spiritual Being, who I could see through completely went by me at unbelievable speed. He went by me so quickly that I questioned whether I had actually seen him. He appeared to be flying.
I asked myself, “What was that?” This Being did not stop until he got to the “Start Line” on the circular race track. I also asked myself if he had come from the heap of young men on the ground? God later confirmed that he had.
The clear Being began to run the race. He was so fast that I really never saw him again. However, I knew where he was at all times because God continually showed me within my mind.
When the Spiritual Being (Holy Spirit) ran by me, the young man dressed in black (evil, satan, world) laying on top of all the rest didn’t notice. Then for some reason he looked up, almost as if he knew that something was different and that he needed to survey his surroundings to see what it was. He seemed to realize what had happened, but was torn between racing against the Holy Spirit, or continuing to hold down the blue, red, and white uniformed runners. He rather quickly decided to begin his race even though he would now be chasing the Holy Spirit who was way ahead of him. As he got to his feet he was tired from holding down the other runners. He hurried, stumbling a bit, to get to the “Start Line.” I realized for the first time that all the runners would have to begin at the same “Start Line.”
He started to run and was obviously trying to catch up with the Spiritual Being: the Holy Spirit. The difference in speed between the runner dressed in black (representing evil) and the clear Spiritual Being (the Holy Spirit) was amazing to me. The Holy Spirit was already half way around the track as the runner dressed in black began to run. The “evil” in black ran as a physical being would have to, and soon showed signs of tiring.
God said later that the runner dressed in the blue represented “religion.” He held down the young runner dressed in red, which represented the blood of Christ in, and over those in Christ’s name. The red runner was partially free throughout the vision. At times he partially laid under, and allowed himself to be restrained by the blue runner (religion). Both the blue runner (religion) and the red runner (representing the blood of Christ in and over those in Christ’s name) were held down by the black (evil).
The young man that was dressed in the blue continued to lay on top of the others and was oblivious to the fact that the race had started, or was perhaps half over, without him. He had successfully restrained the red runner, (Christ and all within Christ’s name) who laid on top of the white runner. The red runner laid on top of the white runner in order to protect him from the blue (religion) runner. These three continued laying on the earth wrestling.
The runner dressed in white was partially exposed and free, and I saw him in quick partial flashes. The white runner represented PURITY AND HOLINESS. He was completely covered by the blood of Christ who laid over him. I was able to partially see him when the blue runner (religion) moved slightly in order to become more comfortable as he held the others down. Only then was the blood of Christ and the white purity and holiness seen more clearly. The religion (blue) never rose and released those under him during this Vision. He preferred to hold down those he considered competition and a threat rather than enter the race himself.
Notice that Christ and His protective blood lay between the man-made religion and God’s Spirit and those who were literally within the Holy Spirit and dressed in white. These are in Christ’s red blood, and even now, have begun to walk and worship within God’s Holy Spirit. They have not been discarded or eliminated, but remain covered by Christ and His blood: these are God’s Holy Spirit filled Remnant.
Only evil, who once covered all of the other runners has set himself free to race against God’s HOLY Spirit; while the blue runner, man made religion(s) continue to attempt to restrain and hold back those covered in Christ AND the Holy Spirit.
Though most of this vision is self explanatory, God went on to interpret it as such: The clear Being, Spiritual Being is the Holy Spirit. Today’s Vision shows us that though the Holy Spirit is running the race, He runs it by Himself [in 2013): He moves across the earth toward God’s finish line without the entire family of God. He has, by God’s Will, gone on without the blue runner (who represents physical, worldly, secular religion and it’s religious divisions and traditions).
A number of those Christians covered in Christ’s blood, but not born again or filled with the Holy Spirit are left behind at this point. Only the Spirit, who is by His own nature walks in the Holiness of God has gone on to run the race for God.
God is not waiting on those who will not free themselves from the blue runner’s strong hold (religious traditions, fun seeking without seeking the Lord first, refusal to transform into Christ’s nature…). These were to originally run God’ final race within Christ’s Holy Spirit and win.
One might say that these are members in the Lukewarm church (see Rev 3:14-22). They have verbally accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior but have denied the Holy Spirit. God cannot afford to wait any longer. Can they join the Holy Spirit and run the final race with Him? Revelation 3:14-22 says that they can. Please read this scripture for yourself.
In today’s Vision, a rather large number of those in Christ’s blood, and His coming purity and holiness are struggling within man-made religion and tradition. They continue to be held under the blue runner.
We see that God has released those within the Holy Spirit, the remnant within Him, to begin, run, finish, and win the race for, and with God and their brothers and sisters. They are in a race against evil and the world’s darkness – in earthly time.
The blood (red) and purity (white) of Christ has been given to the earth/mankind, but continues to be held down and partially restrained by the religions and the traditions of men (blue runner). We see that many of them continue to struggle for their freedom while protected safely under Christ’s blood.
As God said, “The “see through” Being is the Holy Spirit and all within Him. They are already running the race under My Divine Will.” God does not wait upon men and women. We were and are to wait upon Him (Isa 40:31). We are to respond to God and be one with Him in our “FINAL RACE.”
Jesus asks, “Are you within the blood of Christ and His purity and holiness while on earth, or are you held captive by man-made religion and tradition. Are you within the Holy Spirit filled Body of Christ, and now free to run the race that places you far ahead of evil? Are you in the remnant of God: those who run within God’s Holy Spirit, and thus God our Father and Christ? Only you can decide.
Your Lord Jesus Christ says, “I’ll not only see you at the finish line, I’ll be with you in Victory!”
Father, Bless All Your Children – they love you so much!
In His Love for you, Chris Williams
