Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.”
(Mark 2:13-14)

He didn’t ask, “Where are You going?” Jesus.

He didn’t have to.
It wasn’t about the destination.

His only focus was You.

Wherever You’re going

is fine with me.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.’ So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. ‘This,’ said the Lord, ‘is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.’”
(Exodus 4:4-5)

I don’t know about the Egyptians, Jesus…

but that sure would do it for me.

Be inspired! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
(Matthew 3:11-12)

Your message through John the Baptist cost him his life, Jesus!

May the courage You gave him
fall on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“To the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.’”
(Genesis 3:16)

You ensure that every sin has a consequence, Jesus.

The bigger the sin
the bigger the consequence.

The good news?

You reward every good thought, word or deed.

Let’s see…

which would I like to make my goal? 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with riveted attention:

“You weep and wail because he no longer looks with favor on your offerings or accepts them with pleasure from your hands. You ask, ‘Why?’ It is because the Lord is the witness between you and the wife of your youth. You have been unfaithful to her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.”
(Malachi 2:13-14)

Marriage vows are no joke to You, Jesus.

When we make them
You expect us to keep them.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy, grateful fear:

“Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.”
(Zechariah 3:3)

Not exactly the attire you want to be wearing in front of an angel, Jesus.

On second thought, You’ve assigned an angel to me

which means he’s seen me with and without
every piece of clothing I’ve ever owned.

It’s a little unnerving

to realize in this room with me right now
could be the invisible, protective presence
of someone so powerful

but incredibly comforting.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“I will…shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms.”
(Haggai 2:22)

When evil kingdoms rise up against us, Jesus

this is Your promise!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

You control the way and time.

But Your power always prevails!

You almost never do it when or how I expect.

But when You act
I’m humbled and amazed by its absolute perfection.

There are those rising up against us even now, Father!

You know it.
You see it.

When the time is right

You will shatter them to smithereens.

Pray this Lazaroo with informed determination:

“Woe to you who live by the sea, you Kerethite people; the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines. He says, ‘I will destroy you’…”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

How does Your Word turn against me, Jesus?

It’s when I turn against Your Word, isn’t it?
That’s when utter destruction comes.

I’ll never turn against Your Word, Holy Father!

It’s a lamp to my feet
a light for my path
my comfort in great sorrow

my sure promise of eternal life.

Pray this Lazaroo with higher intent:

“Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?”
(Habakkuk 2:12-13)

When the purpose is evil, Jesus

it never stands.

Doesn’t matter how hard they work.
Doesn’t matter how smart they are.
Doesn’t matter how much money they spend.

Purify all my purposes, LORD!

If I’m going to exhaust myself
I want it to count for eternity!

Saturday, October 30, 2021

 

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Where now is the lions’ den…”
(Nahum 2:11)

Is it about lions you’re concerned, Jesus?

Yes…

but not this time.

These are the people of Ninevah who viewed themselves as lions

believing they could always return to the safety of their homes

as lions return to their dens.

You gave them their chance to repent at the preaching of Jonah

and they did…

for a time…

then went right back to sinning.

When I repent, Holy Spirit…

rise up within me to make it stick!
