Ask big! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then I said, ‘Not so, Sovereign Lord! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now…No impure meat has ever entered my mouth.’ ‘Very well,’ he said, ‘I will let you bake your bread over cow dung instead of human excrement.’”
(Ezekiel 4:14-15)

Did Ezekiel talk You out of it, Jesus…

or was this a test?

Sometimes I don’t get what I want because I didn’t ask.

Even so, You say yes

only when it’s Your will!

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.”
(Ezekiel 4:7-8)

Just as You did with Ezekiel, Jesus

so You sometimes do with me.

You had given him a difficult task –

one he might have been tempted to abandon.

So You tied him to it.

That explains a whole lot of what’s happening in my life.

Go on high alert, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.”
(Ezekiel 4:1-2 )

You weren’t telling Ezekiel to play toy soldiers, Jesus.

You were creating an object lesson
to warn Your people of what was coming.

What’s my object lesson, Father?

Give me eyes that see!

Pray this Lazaroo with determination:

“At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.’”
(Ezekiel 3:16-17)

Ezekiel waited seven days to hear Your assignment, Jesus.

I’ll wait as long as You want me to.

Just let me know what You want me to do!

You use the foolish things to confound the wise…

so I’m qualified.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I came to the exiles who lived at Tel Aviv near the Kebar River. And there, where they were living, I sat among them for seven days—overwhelmed.”
(Ezekiel 3:15)

That’s how bad Ezekiel’s countrymen had become, Jesus.

He couldn’t believe what he was seeing!

Your people doing detestable things – things forbidden in Your Law.
Most of all – unthinkably! – Your people worshiping other gods.

Once they forsook you
the vile behavior soon followed.

O Jesus!

Keep me close to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away…”
(Ezekiel 3:14)

This was happening in the vision You gave Ezekiel, Jesus –

a wondrous miracle of clarity and holy revelation!

Your visions are so real

that it’s hard to tell whether they’re happening in the body
or exclusively in the heart, soul, spirit, emotions and mind.

O Holy Spirit!

By Vision or Dream or in the body –
Lift me up and take me wherever You want me to go!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound.”
(Ezekiel 3:13)

Does it get any more powerful than this, Jesus? Any more life-changing?

These visions You gave Ezekiel give me
a glimpse of what awaits me in heaven –

because I’ve put my faith and trust in You.

I didn’t get to see and hear what Ezekiel saw and heard –

but one day I will!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound…”
(Ezekiel 3:12)

That would get my attention, Jesus!

For good reason.

It wasn’t a wagon, a rock or a herd of animals.
It was the sound of the wings of supernatural beings!

Shivers. Terror. Awe. Goose bumps.

I’ve never heard that sound Ezekiel heard

but You led him to share it with me so I could imagine it.

But not only imagine it.
Anticipate it!

…when I join him in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful love:

“Then the Spirit lifted me up…”
(Ezekiel 3:12)

Unlike Ezekiel, Jesus

Your Spirit has never lifted my body.

But, O Holy Spirit!

Every single day You lift me up

mentally
emotionally
spiritually!

What would I do without You?

When I’m down, weak, discouraged

You’re my closest Friend, encouraging me, giving me hope.

When I’ve sinned

You prompt me to confess and repent.

But there is coming a day when You will lift my body –

at the last trumpet sound!
