Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.”
(Colossians 2:4)

As hard as it is to imagine, Jesus

there are so many people out there
who enjoy deceiving others.

That’s the work of Satan, isn’t it?

They don’t believe in You.
They couldn’t!

If they believed in a God who sees and hears and knows all

there’s no way in this world
they would practice this kind of deceit.

I’m begging You, Father:

Protect me!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“…no lie comes from the truth.”
(1 John 2:21)

What a powerful reminder, Jesus!

Every lie comes from the pits of hell

from the father of lies:

Satan.

If I tell a lie, that’s where I went to get it.

That’s who I consorted with to produce it.

If someone else lies to me, they pulled it right out of the flames.

They buddied up with Satan – if only a moment –

to receive it from his dirty, filthy, deceiving

smelly, evil hands.

Kinda makes me wanna stick to the truth.

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.”
(2 John 1:7)

This is powerful insight into what’s going on, Jesus!

So many of us are keeping our eyes peeled for the antichrist
when we should be watching out for the antichrists.

Same spirit.
Same evil.

Same deception:

The attempt to dissuade us from faith in You.

NEVER!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?”
(Galatians 3:1)

Well, there’s no question about that, is there, Jesus?

There’s only one who bewitches Your dearly-loved people:

the deceiver behind every deception
the head witch himself: Satan.

To my shame and disgrace

he’s succeeded in bewitching me a few times.

But thanks be to You, O LORD!

You rescued me from his clutches!

May I remain in deep, daily, moment-by-moment

1on1 relationship with You

so he’ll never bamboozle me again.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver…”
(2 John 1:7)

There are little deceivers…big deceivers…

and then the deceiver, Jesus:

Satan.

He refused to acknowledge Your supremacy.

Once he committed that fundamental sin

it’s was all downhill.

From that point on, he spread his lies to – and through –

as many angels and people as he possibly could.

But one day soon

he – and they – will meet their just end.

Watch out! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh…”
(2 John 1:7)

On the one hand, I don’t blame them, Jesus.

Your coming to this world as a 100% human baby

was a stunner.

No wonder we’ve created an entire holiday called, “Christmas”

to celebrate Your virgin birth!

But these are not sincere truth seekers, Father.

They’re deceivers.

Which means they’re not contradicting Your Word because they’re confused

but in order to manipulate others to their own advantage.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ…”
(2 John 1:7)

That definition works both ways, Jesus:

A deceiver is someone who doesn’t acknowledge You.
If they did, they wouldn’t deceive.

Oh, they may acknowledge that You exist

may claim to believe

but not to the point that it stops their deception!

And everyone who doesn’t acknowledge You

is a deceiver.

Sometimes they lead others astray with their unbelief

but the one they allow Satan most to lead astray

is themselves.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed faithfulness:

“If a liar and deceiver comes and says, ‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’ that would be just the prophet for this people!”
(Micah 2:11)

We’ve got a problem, Jesus.

We tend to listen to people who tell us what we want to hear
rather than people who faithfully listen to You
and tell us what we need to hear.

I don’t want to be that person!

May I heed only what comes from You!

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…rid yourselves of…all deceit…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

I hate being deceived, Jesus!

I long to take people at their word.

It’s so much work to study their body language
and facial giveaways.

I fervently wish I lived in a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” world.

But I don’t.

So that means I have to be a good evaluator, doesn’t it?

Except…some people are really good deceivers.

Looks like I need to tap into one of Your priceless treasures –

the supernatural gift of discernment.

Pray this Lazaroo in Holy Spirit-led caution:

“…with their tongue they speak deceit.”
(Psalms 5:9)

I don’t want to believe there are people like this, Jesus.

I’d rather think they accidentally misspoke.
I prefer to believe they didn’t mean what they said.

Perhaps that’s why You mention the terrible practice of deceit

more than 100 times in Your Word.

I have to remove my rose-colored glasses, don’t I?

The evidence all around me is too great to ignore.

Open my eyes to those whose tongues speak deceit!
