Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations…”
(Obadiah 1:1)

Have you sent an envoy to my nation, Jesus?

If so, who?

Many of Your people ignored John the Baptist

not realizing he was the Elijah You sent
to prepare the way for Your First Coming.

Please grant us discernment to weed out false prophets!

But I don’t want to miss any envoy You’ve sent
to prepare us for Your Second Coming.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.”
(Haggai 2:21)

Getting an assignment like this from You would be a challenge, Jesus.

First of all, it’s hard to deliver bad news.

Secondly, news this huge and terrifying
would almost certainly directly impact me.

Finally, what if You didn’t do it in the governor’s lifetime?
I’d look like a false prophet.

But ultimately, none of that matters, does it?

My job is very simple:

Obey.

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 with God-given discernment:

“Moses was…testifying to what would be said in the future.”
(Hebrews 3:5)

Moses couldn’t have done that with any accuracy whatsoever, Jesus

unless You had revealed the future to him.

You alone know the future. Apart from You –

If anyone claims to be able to foretell what will happen

they’re guessing.

That goes for mediums, spiritists, false prophets, soothsayers

talk show hosts, politicians, pundits, authors
and highly-educated experts.

‘Cause a well-informed, thoughtful
carefully-researched educated guess

is still a guess.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Is there no prophet of the LORD here…?”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Good question, Jesus.

When You place a prophet among us

we need to know it and pay attention
to whatever You proclaim through them.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Prophet or none, I can go to You directly, Holy Spirit!
I can always turn to the sure guidance of Your Word.

That way, when someone shows up claiming to be a prophet

I can check ‘em out. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only true God:

“…there were also false prophets among the people…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

Always have been, Jesus.

Way back in the day…
all the way to this very moment.

Some of them have wanted so badly to hear from You

that they’ve ended up deceiving themselves

actually believing that what they’re spouting originated with You

instead of in the dark recesses of their deluded minds.

Others are fakes, charlatans, phonies.

They’re lying to the gullible
and they know it.

Spare me, Father!

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…prophecy never had its origin in the will of man…”
(2 Peter 1:21)

That rules out most of the so-called prophecies that have ever been uttered, Jesus.

Some by charlatans

some by those who are well-meaning, self-deluded.

True prophets are rare.

Wannabees a dime a dozen.

When You foretell the future

You don’t have a 53%, 71% or 98% success rate.

When You predict something will happen, it takes place

down to the last detail

100% of the time.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:9)

What a great heads up, Jesus.

Just because something looks like a miracle
doesn’t mean it is.

If I see something so amazing that it fills me with wonder
I need to “wonder”…exactly where it leads.

When I’ve supposedly been given a sign
I’d better make double-dog sure it’s from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with Banzai belief:

“…we have the word of the prophets made more certain…”
(2 Peter 1:19)

How could the predictions of your prophets be made more certain, Jesus?

Well…I guess it would be when their prophecies came true.

The prophets who claimed to speak for You were to be stoned to death

if their prophesies were proved false.

That still didn’t stop some of them from prophesying lies in the short term

but it sure would have been a disincentive for me.
