See it clearly, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, ‘May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!’ All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them.”
(2 Samuel 3:35-36)

To be popular with the majority of people, Jesus?

Sure.
Sometimes.

But for everything David did to please them?

Only You.

That’s a good reminder:

My approval rating lies with You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Samuel…was afraid to tell Eli the vision, but Eli called him and said, ‘Samuel, my son.’ Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’ ‘What was it he said to you?’ Eli asked. ‘Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.’”
(1 Samuel 3:15-17)

CHRIST IS RISEN!

May I never be afraid to tell it, Jesus.

May I never hide from anyone
this stunning truth about You!

May the whole world know

what Easter is always and forever about!

Tremble in Awe, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…‘as surely as I live,’ declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, ‘surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah’…”
(Zephaniah 2:9)

When You say, “…as surely as I live,” Jesus

it’s a done deal!

because You are more Alive
than all the rest of us put together.

You’re the Living One!

You’ve Always Been
You Are
You’ll Always Be.

Everything and everyone who draws a breath on this planet –

or anywhere else in Your vast creation

received their life from You.

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

“At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked, ‘Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?’ They also asked, ‘What are the names of those who are constructing this building?’”
(Ezra 5:3-4)

Intimidation tactics, Jesus.

Evil people are full of them.

Help me see their wicked strategies a mile away!

Help me deal with their threats and manipulations
with the supernatural wisdom that comes only from You.

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.

Determine to take action, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.”
(3 John 1:10)

What kind of person behaves in this way, Jesus?

Certainly not someone led by Your Holy Spirit.

I suspect they’re being led by none other than Satan himself.

But why would they allow that?

Maybe they’re a Christian in name only
planted by Satan to disrupt the love in Your Church.

Thankfully, You’ve given us the proper way

to deal with such people.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“The Jews then responded to him, ‘What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’”
(John 2:18-19)

You Are God, Jesus.

You proved it by Your teaching and miracles.

But when You were publicly executed and buried –

then rose from the dead exactly as You promised?
More than 500 witnesses?

That seals the deal.
Case closed.
