Run, run as if your very soul depended upon the running...



Here are a few of the 121 verses that contain the word "flee"...

James 4:7 (NKJV)

Revelation 9:6 (NKJV)

Here are a few of the 110 verses that contain the word "run"...

Philippians 2:16 (NKJV)

16holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.


Hebrews 12:1–2 (NKJV)

1Therefore 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,

2looking 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.


1 Corinthians 9:24–27 (NKJV)

24Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

25And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

26Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

27But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.


As, so often pointed out these are actions... So, get up and RUN ! Flee from the oppression of the Devil and the world he has deceived and run to God.
