Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“…the devil will put some of you in prison to test you…”
(Revelation 2:10)

Not what they wanted to hear, Jesus…

but they had to be thankful for Your advance warning
so they could prepare themselves for what was coming.

Of course, not everybody can handle knowing such things in advance!

Some of us would prefer to be happily oblivious until it hits.

Please give me a heads-up when You know I need it

and supernatural grace when disaster strikes.

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.

Be greatly encouraged as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…since you are going through the same struggle…”
(Philippians 1:30)

I’m not alone, am I, Jesus?

Not only are You with me every step

but there are countless others

battling the flesh and the devil
in the exact same ways I am.

They say, “Misery loves company.”

But that’s not why I love knowing
I’m not the only one.

It’s because when I see them winning their fight

it’s proof!

that You’re able to do the same for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“Whenever Israel went out to fight…”
(Judges 2:15)

It’s tempting to think this is merely a history lesson, Jesus.

I’d like to think:

“I’m so glad I don’t have to go out to fight!”

But that would be self-deception.

The truth is, I’m in the fight of my life.

The moment I put all my trust in You as my Savior

I picked up in Satan
the fiercest, most powerful enemy imaginable

who can’t hold a candle to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…and through him to reconcile to himself all…things in heaven…”
(Colossians 1:20)

Huge task, Jesus…

though not as big as it once was.

There was that war in heaven where – along with Satan – You had to expel one-third of Your angels

sending them to earth.

Obviously, You’ve given them the gift of free will, too.

At times, though, it becomes a curse, doesn’t it?
when I use it to rebel against You.

When I do, LORD…

Please.
Quickly.

Reconcile me.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil…”
(Hebrews 2:14)

Powerfully ironic, Jesus – and totally unexpected.

When jealous religious leaders crucified You
Satan thought he had won.

But stunningly, it was Your death that defeated Satan!

With Your wholly undeserved death
You paid for the sins of all who put their faith in You

just as when I die to myself
I rise in thrilling triumph over the evil one.
