Pray this Lazaroo in trembling awareness:

“The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”
(Zechariah 5:4)

Pretty scary, Jesus.

So…what are You going to send out?

That flying scroll that carries a curse.

Is that flying scroll hovering above the earth right now?

…above my country…my family…

…above me?

If so, only this will prevent it from entering:

Repentance and Obedience.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“‘Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!’ So they went out and began killing throughout the city. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?’”
(Ezekiel 9:7-8)

No, Jesus.

You didn’t destroy them all.

But You do know whom to destroy and whom to spare.

I don’t deserve it –

but thank You for sparing me

right down to this very moment.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.”
(1 Kings 3:4)

Big whoop.

Gibeon may have been the most important high place, Jesus
but Solomon was supposed to destroy all these high places –

not worship You on them.

May I never sin in the most important area of my life

in a badly mistaken notion that what I’m doing

honors You!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Woe to the city of blood…”
(Nahum 3:1)

Again, Jesus?

Again?

A scant 63 years before, You sent the prophet Jonah

to warn them that in 40 days You would destroy them.

They listened to You!
They repented!
You relented!

But now, within the span of one lifetime, they’re right back at it –

worse than ever.

They had their chance.

Their one chance is now gone
and they don’t care.

O God!

When You warn me
help me repent –

and stick with it.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned gratitude:

“In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.”
(Esther 4:3)

Horrible news does that to us, Jesus!

For the Jews, this news was about as bad as it gets.

The king had issued a decree
that made it legal to destroy their entire nation.

But as You do again and again for Your hurting people

You were about to turn that bad news upside down!

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful obedience:

“They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm…”
(2 Timothy 2:18-19)

False teachers can do a lot of harm, Jesus.

But may their misunderstanding, lies and deception
never budge me one inch

from the rock-solid certainty of Your Word!

Show me which of those led astray You’re calling me to help!

I know I can’t fix every wrong
but with Your guidance, Holy Spirit

I long to make a difference.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.”
(Jonah 3:8)

Why do we find it so hard, Jesus

to give up the things that break Your heart?

You’re not trying to cheat us out of having a good time!

You’re protecting us from the thoughts, words and behaviors
that will destroy our lives.

Forgive me, LORD

for being so slow to give up
what will take me down.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.”
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

I don’t take this seriously enough, do I, Jesus?

This is real.
We together – Your Church – are Your temple.

Help us at least begin to grasp the honor You have bestowed on us!

Rise up within us, Holy Spirit
to live accordingly.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing anticipation:

“Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.’ But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
(John 2:19, 21-22)

You’ve made it clear, Jesus:

my body, too, is a temple.

And though the ravages of life on this earth can destroy it

in Your power I will be raised
to live with you forever!
