Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:10-11)

Thank You for this promise to the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus!

According to Your will, may we be that Church!

Make me increasingly, passionately faithful to You
during every remaining day You have ordained for me
on planet earth.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“Nebuchadnezzar said to them “…if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
(Daniel 3:14-15)

He was about to find out, wasn’t he, Jesus?

I don’t know how many Christians have died under similar circumstances.

But this time, You had enough of his disrespect.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Be merciful to those who doubt…”
(Jude 1:22)

Why wouldn’t I be, Jesus?

        I too have doubts.

Oh, not doubts that You exist

       that You died for my sins
       that You rose from the dead
       that You’re coming back for me.

I believe every bit of that.

       100%

But I have doubts about me

       the way I think, speak and act
       the way I interact with others.

So by all means:

       I’ll be merciful to those who doubt.

Pray this Lazaroo in submissive faith:

“‘…measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times. Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people…The Lord said, ‘In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them.’”
(Ezekiel 4:11-13)

You were making a spectacle of your prophet, Jesus

to warn Your sinning people.

If that’s what You need to do with me

I’m Yours.
Do with me as You will.

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.

Beg God for deliverance, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at every street corner.”
(Lamentations 2:19)

If You see we won’t obey You for our own sakes, Jesus

you motivate us to obey You
for the sake of our children

knowing full well that when we’re listening to Satan
even that may not be enough.

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.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘In spite of all this, her unfaithful sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but only in pretense,’ declares the Lord. The Lord said to me, ‘Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. ‘”
(Jeremiah 3:10-11)

No matter what words I utter

You can tell when I’m half-hearted, Jesus.

But that’s not what I ever want to be with You!

I want to give You everything I’ve got

because on the cross

that’s how much You gave me.

Pray this Lazaroo in believing wonder:

“As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.”
(1 John 2:24)

When I have You, Jesus…

I have the Father.

You and the Father are One.

To see You
is to see the Father.

There aren’t two Gods – or three.

Just One:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The only time it’s Scripturally and grammatically correct to say:

They Is
He Are.

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem.”
(Isaiah 4:2-3)

You’re the Branch, Jesus –

the promised Messiah!

You came, You taught, You worked miracles

then gave Your life on the cross
that all who trust You will have eternal life!
