On the run 7


1.

Now, in the Old Testament there was a time when a man could build up pressure way back there. And that was when he done something wrong. If he shed innocent blood, well then, he was on the run. Because as soon as that man that he killed--the wrong he did, that man he did the wrong to--some of his people would hunt him till he found him. And there he'd kill him.

 
2.

(of an enemy, opponent, etc) being defeated or retreating.

 
  1. SECONDHANDED.ROBE. - BROOKLYN.NY 56-1206 E-62 062
   

And I tell you: we got to fight, and we got the most powerful weapon. The devil makes fun of it and says, "There's no such a thing." But pick up tonight and receive the Holy Ghost and defeat every devil of sin, drunkenness, whatever it is. We've got him on the run to be conquered. Yes, and someday, the great Chief Captain will come, and sin, and sickness, and sorrows will be over.

 
3.

Be very busy or active.

 
  1. IT.SHALL.BE.EVEN.AS.IT.WAS.TOLD.ME. - CLEVELAND.OH 50-0818
   

..because I just come right out of a big meeting there. And went right home and been just constantly on the run, and then right in here again.
