Pray this Lazaroo in staunch confidence:

“…the same things those churches suffered…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Same old devil, Jesus

same beautiful Church.

Of course, when churches leave the foundation of Your Word

Satan is happy, leaves them alone –
except when he attends

…’cause he’s quite comfortable there.

But the more a church obeys You

the more the enemy of our souls attacks
because he’s scared to death.

He’s fully aware of Your promise –

that the gates of hell will not prevail against such a church.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…knowing that you will do…”
(Philemon 1:21)

I can’t thank You enough, Jesus

for the people who are so honorable, so diligent
so conscientious, so reliable, so trustworthy

that if it’s in their power to act,

I know what they will do.

I know they’ll follow through
pay whatever price
do whatever it takes

to get ‘er done.

Station such people all around me, LORD –

in my family, church, workplace, community.

and may I be counted in their number.

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“…God’s churches…which are in Christ Jesus…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Not every group of people calling themselves a “church”

is a church, Jesus.

Many gatherings of people meeting in buildings with steeples and pews

bear no resemblance to the Church of the Bible
nor do they honor the Bible of Your Church.

Some who sing from hymnals illuminated by light streaming through stained glass

are unacquainted with the true Light
who came into this world to seek and save the lost.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
(Revelation 2:7)

O Jesus:

Help us hear!

Holy Spirit:

Cause us to discern what You’re telling each church!

All of Your churches have the same mission –

to build Your people and win the lost.

But each of Your churches has a unique calling –

which is why You’ve planted each one.

Heavenly Father!

Please help my church hear You clearly
and stay on mission.

Allow yourself to marvel, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.”
(Philippians 1:27)

There’s nothing like it, Jesus –

a group of markedly different people

different ages, different sexes
different backgrounds, different personalities
different preferences, different schedules
different living circumstances

some single, some married, some divorced
some new believers, some long-time saints
some with means, some in dire financial straits
some battling illness, some healthy as a horse

all coming together in beautiful harmony with only one thing in common:

You.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“I, by your great mercy, will come into your house…”
(Psalms 5:7)

Certainly, that’s true of heaven, Jesus.

But that’s also true of the temporary houses of worship
You’ve set up on this earth.

May I never walk into a cathedral, tabernacle, storefront church or join any group of believers

seated in a living room
a coffee shop
on a bus bench
or gathered under a tree

without recognizing how unworthy I am to experience such a sacred privilege.
