Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“No one who denies the Son has the Father…”
(1 John 2:23)

There aren’t millions of Gods, Jesus.

There aren’t two Gods or three Gods.

There’s just One:

You.

You and the Father Are One.

Anyone who has seen You has seen the Father.

You live within me

in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

God created the heavens and the earth.

Everything that exists was made by You.

I have the Father

because I have You!

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“…we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.”
(2 Corinthians 3:18-4:1)

Keep the transformation coming, Jesus.

I have such a long way to go!

But I trust You. I believe in You. I know You Are God and I know You are Good.

I will not lose heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.”
(Romans 2:28-29)

Wow.

You’re saying I’m not a Jew because my parents were Jews.

I’m a Jew

because I believe in You, Jesus –

the King of the Jews
the Root and Offspring of David.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.”
(1 John 2:22)

You’re the Promised One, Jesus!

The Christ.
The Messiah.
The Savior of all who believe.

All who reject this truth are not only liars, but they’re the antichrist.

To deny You is to deny the Father
because You and the Father are One!

There’s a place for compromise.

This isn’t it.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful amazement:

“You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.”
(Psalm 8:6-8)

It’s hard to believe You’re talking about me, Jesus…

but You are.

I’m one of those You appointed to be a ruler over the works of Your hands!

In that case
I’d better step it up a notch.

Stay focused, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Have you suffered so much for nothing – if it really was for nothing? Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:4)

Paul’s getting a little perturbed at them, Jesus.

They’re still trying to work their way to heaven

instead of trusting what You did on the cross
as payment in full for their sins.

Please don’t let me make the same mistake!

Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,’ and, ‘A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.’”
(1 Peter 2:7)

You’re that Stone, Jesus!

It’s unthinkable to me that anyone rejected You then

or can reject You now.

But You know those who are Yours.

I don’t know why You’ve chosen me
but I am grateful beyond all words!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it…”
(1 John 2:21)

John was writing to those who believe in You, Jesus

not to those who had rejected You

which means He’s also writing to me.

I believe in the truth that You are God

that You came to this earth
to save us from our sins

by dying on the cross
then rising from the dead

to give all who believe in You eternal life!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up…”
(Jude 1:20)

This isn’t a suggestion, is it, Jesus?

It’s a command.

Apparently, getting spiritually stronger

isn’t something that’s going to happen to me
while I lie back and wait.

I’ve got to hit the spiritual gym:

Studying your Word
Praying
Forsaking my sin
Attending church services
Serving
Sharing my faith

Salvation? That’s free.

All I have to do is believe.

But if I truly believe

I’ve got to get to work.

Pray this Lazaroo in stark realization:

“But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.”
(James 2:18-19)

My faith and my actions.

They’re not separate, are they, Jesus?

If I have faith
my life will show it.

If I don’t have faith
my life will show it.

My actions reveal whether or not I truly believe

in You.
