Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“He is the one we proclaim…”
(Colossians 1:28)

Not ourselves, Jesus.

Not our accomplishments.
Not our good deeds.
Not our churches.
Not our wisdom.
Not religion.

You, Jesus.

You.

It is Your Name I proclaim!

Why?

Because Salvation is found in no one else!

There’s no other name under heaven given to mankind
by which we must be saved.

You’re Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of Your government and peace there will be no end.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Deliverers will go up…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

Oh, how we need that to happen, Jesus!

Please! Bring it to pass!

Raise up deliverers for our entire world

for our nation
for our churches
for our families
for me.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Do You desire to use me as one of Your deliverers?

Will You call me to go up in behalf of others

even as others are going up in behalf of me?

Now, that is a surprise!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“…Christ’s…body, which is the church.”
(Colossians 1:24)

Because I’ve placed my faith in You alone for my salvation, Jesus

I’m a member of Your global Church.

And because I’m a member of the Church You so love

I’m part of Your body!

A very tiny part, to be sure.
A too-often dysfunctional part.

But still – by Your grace alone –

I’m one of the ways You’ve chosen to present Yourself to the world!

Oh, what a holy, sobering, motivating responsibility!

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 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.
