Pray this Lazaroo with discerning wisdom:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.”
(1 John 2:26-27)

It would be so easy to take this out of context, Jesus!

True, Your Holy Spirit is my teacher.

But John is warning them not to listen
to those trying to lead them astray.

The gift of teaching Your Word accurately

is still in effect today

and is needed more than ever!

Pray this Lazaroo in quiet trust:

“’…if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband…May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.’ Then the woman is to say, ‘Amen. So be it.’”
(Numbers 5:20-22)

It’s great to know when I’m innocent of the charges against me, Jesus

and terrifying when I know I’m guilty.

Human beings may guess wrong

But You never do

because You’re not guessing.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected…and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he…suspects her even though she is not impure—then he is to take his wife to the priest.”
(Numbers 5:11-15)

Such things have to be settled, Jesus.

Sometimes by You through us
sometimes by You alone

in Your Way
in Your Time.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

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 with bottomless trust:

“Every high priest…is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God…”
(Hebrews 5:1-4)

You are amazing, Jesus!

You deliberately choose flawed people to honor
by calling them to do Your perfect work –

which means You can also work through me!

Pray this Lazaroo with humble understanding:

“Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.”
(Hebrews 5:1-2)

Help me deal gently with the shortcomings of others, Jesus

since I, too, am subject to weakness.

May I deal with their issues

as tenderly as I want You to deal with mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“So when we could stand it no longer…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:1)

I love knowing that Paul had that emotion, Jesus!

But it was more than mere emotion, wasn’t it?
You were moving on his heart to do something about it –

which is exactly what he did.

Work through my emotions too, LORD!

May they not be unreliable, leading me astray.
May they instead be guided by You

goading me, prompting me, pushing me, driving me

to do the very things You’ve called me to do!

Pray this Lazaroo with ironfisted determination!

“My people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you from the path. The Lord takes his place in court; he rises to judge the people. The Lord enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people…”
(Isaiah 3:12-14)

This is the worst, Jesus!

When the people You’ve called and equipped to lead
turn their backs on You

what are the rest of us to do?

Though our leaders forsake You

may we always and forever remain true!
