Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.”
(Micah 3:9-10)

It’s the leaders You hold most accountable, isn’t it, Jesus?

You expect them to set the standard for their followers

to love justice and do what’s right
But with honesty, integrity and hard work –

not by crushing the innocent.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth.”
(Jonah 3:7-8)

First of all, that’s downright impressive, Jesus.

I’ve never heard of covering animals with sackcloth.
None of the people’s sins was the animals’ fault!

Clearly, this king was over-the-top humbling himself before You.

No wonder You relented!

That’s an example I need to keep in mind.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, ‘Rise, let us go against her for battle…’”
(Obadiah 1:1)

You’re stirring up the nations against us, Jesus?

No. Not us.
Against our pride-filled, sinning brothers.

I’m sorry for them…

but thankful that we’re not the ones under Your wrath.

Except…this is a warning, isn’t it?

If you’re taking our brothers to the woodshed
we’ll be next –

if we follow their example of disobedience.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“‘I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:10)

When these things happen to us, Jesus

we think You’ve abandoned us.

But no! You haven’t!

You’re shaking us awake
getting our attention

inciting us to return to You
before it’s too late.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then the Lord was jealous for his land…”
(Joel 2:18)

“Then,” Jesus?

When?

What turns Your heart toward us, though we have sinned

though we deserve nothing but wrath?

What makes You jealous for this land we have so defiled by our disobedience?

It’s when we cry out to You in repentance, isn’t it –

begging for Your mercy –
which by very definition we don’t deserve.

It’s when we call on You to honor Your great Name we have so besmirched.

Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of God:

“Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.”
(Hosea 4:17-19)

After repeated willful sin

there comes a point of no return, doesn’t there, Jesus?

when a person – even an entire nation –
are joined to their idols in unholy matrimony

till death and destruction come
and they perish together.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”
(Revelation 3:3)

Is there any area of my life where I’m spiritually asleep, Jesus?

Wake me up!

I long to be alert and ready
to repel Satan’s attacks

and to receive whatever You have in store for me.

Remember! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. The king said to Daniel, ‘Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.’”
(Daniel 2:46-47)

Everything this king said about you is true, Jesus.

But in time, he forgot
and paid a horrific price.

May I never, ever, ever forget!

Pray this Lazaroo in solemn introspection:

“…keep yourselves in God’s love…”
(Jude 1:21)

Your love is legendary, Jesus.

No matter how many times I mess up

You forgive me.

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

But this command from You through your half-brother Jude

reminds me that I bear a clear and definite responsibility.

If I deliberately and repeatedly sin against You
thinking to take advantage of your love

I might want to think again.

Would anyone who truly belongs to You

callously, premeditatively
do such a thing?

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’ Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.’”
(Ezekiel 3:27)

This is eye-opening, Jesus!

You don’t want me to waste Your time
trying to force people to pay attention to You.

I need to tell them about You as clearly and accurately as I can

then leave the results to You.

If they listen, they’re in!

If they refuse
they excluded themselves.
