Raise your sights! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’”
(Mark 3:20-21)

You didn’t come here to enjoy a good meal, Jesus.

Your message was a little bigger than that.

You came to transform lives

call people to a higher purpose
change their destination from hell to heaven.

Those who don’t believe that about You

are the ones who are out of their minds.

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 wholehearted commitment:

“…we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, ‘So I declared on oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.”’”
(Hebrews 4:2-3)

Hearing Your Word is no good to me, Jesus

if I don’t believe it.

But I do! Thank God, I do!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest personal gratitude:

“Come and see…”
(John 1:46)

I would have thought that’s all people needed to do, Jesus.

Phillip told Nathanael to come and see You and he believed.
Many others did the same.

But it’s stunning to realize how many of the Jewish leaders who saw You did not believe.

They already had their minds made up.
They scoffed at your words and ignored your miracles.

It’s the same way today.

Nobody can come to You unless Your Father enables them.

Pray this Lazaroo in full awareness of your True Source:

“The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled…”
(Isaiah 2:11)

Arrogance goes beyond pride, doesn’t it, Jesus?

A person may be Your humble follower
and still be gratefully proud –

knowing it’s You who do it all through them.

But arrogant people pound their chests and point to themselves.

They don’t believe they need Your help or anyone else’s.
They’re their own god.

But one day – when they stand before the true God –

they will be utterly humbled.

Too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted devotion:

“Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

Well, that settles it, Jesus:

I’m never going to oppose You.

Just kidding. I didn’t plan to anyway. But here’s my question:

If it’s such a no-brainer to me
why isn’t it a no-brainer to everyone?

By Your own count, most of the people of the world oppose You.

You! Their Creator!

A frightening number of them don’t even acknowledge You exist!

Some serious shattering
is on its way.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the wicked will be cut off from the land…”
(Proverbs 2:22)

Without a land to live in, Jesus

there’s no way to go home.

Of course, before You cut them off

the wicked believe they’re getting away with the evil they’re doing.

They don’t believe there’s a God in heaven who not only sees

but will do something about it.

But when they’re cut off, do they repent?

No.

They blame everyone else and curse You

till their dying breath.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble acknowledgment:

“Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’”
(Exodus 3:15)

That’s quite an introduction, Jesus.

But it wasn’t enough.
You knew it wouldn’t be.

It took You working miracle after miracle

before the Israelites believed
and Pharaoh agreed to let Your people go.

When faith is absent

words are never enough.

Not then
and not now.
