Shudder as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies…”
(Nahum 3:1)

Which is worse, Jesus –

a city full of blood
or a city full of lies?

They’re both horrible…

but the worst has to be a city full of lies.

Even when there’s blood

if people tell the truth
you know where you stand.

But with lies

you know nothing.

You don’t know which end is up
who to trust – if anyone.

Great God Almighty!

Make me a person of truth!

Please spare me

from those whose mouths
are full of lies.

Pray this Lazaroo with a transparent heart:

“Anyone who does what is good is from God.”
(3 John 1:11)

That’s…quite a statement, Jesus.

There are a lot of people out there
who don’t accept You as Savior
who do good.

Oh, but wait a minute.

A deed is truly good
only when it’s done from pure motives –

and pure motives
originate with You.

When I do a so-called good deed
to win the approval of others

I’m serving myself –

not You or them

and the deed is soiled.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.”
(2 John 1:10)

This sounds rude, Jesus…

but it isn’t.
It’s life-saving.

I shouldn’t welcome a child-molester into a home with small children, either.

As bad as that would be
a spirit-molester would be infinitely worse.

When a heretical teacher leads people astray

it’s not just life and death that are at stake.
The stakes are eternal life and death.

Heaven…and hell.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Someone might argue, ‘If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?’ Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—’Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just!”
(Romans 3:7-8)

Through Paul, You brilliantly dismantle this attack on Your gift of grace, Jesus!

Anyone who knows You
knows You would never condone willful sin!

Help me take my stand for truth

and against all who would pervert it!

Pray this Lazaroo in total allegiance:

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘Command the Israelites to send away from the camp anyone who has a defiling skin disease or a discharge…or who is ceremonially unclean because of a dead body. Send away male and female alike…outside the camp so they will not defile their camp, where I dwell among them.’”
(Numbers 5:1-3)

Back then…

that was the cost of living in Your Presence.

If I want to live in deep, daily, moment-by-moment 1on1 relationship with You, Jesus

there’s a cost.

But You’re worth it!

Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of the LORD:

“…the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. ‘Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,’ she said…referring to circumcision.”
(Exodus 4:24-26)

Had Moses refused to obey You because of his wife, Jesus?

Putting anyone or anything ahead of you is idolatry.
You weren’t about to send an idolater to Egypt to free your people!

Is there anything or anyone with whom I’m committing idolatry, Holy Spirit?

If You were that tough on Moses…

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house…”
(2 John 1:10)

The people who enter my home influence me, Jesus

for good or bad.

They can encourage me in the right direction

or hinder me from following You with my whole heart.

The people I permit to enter my home

also send a message to everyone on the outside.

Rightly or wrongly, my acceptance of them
causes people to conclude I agree with them.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. Because Israel’s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.”
(Jeremiah 3:8-9)

Spiritual adultery, Jesus –

Your people worshiping idols instead of You

betraying the covenant You made with them
as an adulterous violates her marriage vows.

May I never put anyone or anything ahead of You!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“I always thank my God as I remember you…”
(Philemon 1:4)

Who are these people in my life, Jesus?

Those who spark feelings of gratitude
every time I think of them?

In fact, You are the one
who placed them in my life!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Now comes the most personal question:

Is there anyone out there
who can say the same of me?

O God! Make me the kind of person

for whom others thank You
every time they remember me!

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“This is what the Lord says to Israel: ‘Seek me and live; do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba….Seek the Lord and live, or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire; it will devour them, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.’”
(Amos 5:4-6)

When I’m in trouble, Jesus

why do I ever turn
to anyone, anywhere or anything than You?

All of my so-called “deliverers” will fail.

You alone have the power to rescue me!
