Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them. The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God.”
(Micah 3:6-7)

That’s the price of disobedience, isn’t it, Jesus?

The miracles disappear.
The true prophets come up empty.

All that’s left are false prophets
who prophesy the delusions of their own minds.

O LORD!

Send a revival!
Send a revival!
Send a revival!

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 with day-in, day-out devotion:

“Elisha said to the king of Israel, ‘Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.’ ‘No,’ the king of Israel answered, ‘because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab.’”
(2 Kings 3:13)

Israel’s king was unfaithful to You, Jesus.

Only when he’s in trouble does He turn to You.

Many people do the same!

May I never be one of them.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.”
(Jude 1:17)

Why would Jude tell me to remember their words, Jesus?

Only one reason:

Because what they foretold will come true.

As with Your prophets down through the ages

You reveal the future to Your people through Your apostles.

Of course, just because people call themselves prophets or apostles

doesn’t mean they’re the real deal.

People don’t appoint themselves to these high offices.

Only You have that right.

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 in solemn determination:

“Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.”
(Zechariah 2:9)

The prophets of old put their lives on the line, Jesus.

When You told them what to say

they knew they could be stoned as false prophets
if what they predicted didn’t come true.

But since Your Word is absolutely reliable

that’s not why their lives were at risk.

Sometimes they were killed for delivering your message.

May I faithfully share Your Word
no matter what the cost.

Pray this Lazaroo with sharpened awareness:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.”
(Acts 2:18)

Well, I guess that ends the debate about whether or not we still have prophets, Jesus.

Some of them are men
some of them are women.

That pretty much ends the sexism debate, too.

But it doesn’t end my need for discernment.

Not everyone who claims to be a prophet

is what they claim to be.

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!
