Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God…”
(Luke 1:76-78)

When Zechariah spoke these words, Jesus

He was filled with the Spirit.

Through Him You were revealing that His son – John the Baptist –

had one overriding purpose:

“to prepare the way

for You.”

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…many…wept aloud…while many others shouted for joy.”
(Ezra 3:12)

Same event, Jesus:

the laying of the foundation of the second temple.

Some wept, remembering, overcome with emotion.

Others were so happy they shouted.

That’s who we are, isn’t it?

We react differently because of what’s inside us.

Fill me with Yourself, Holy Spirit!

Put everything inside me You want to be there!
Fill me up with Your holy Word!

So what comes out of me
will consistently glorify You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
(Luke 1:41)

…which is what I long to be, Jesus!

…though it’s the last thing I deserve.

No matter how hard I try to clean up my act

I’m still a dirty vessel
so flawed, so prone to sin.

But if You waited for a perfect person

no one would ever be filled with the Spirit!

I’m not fit

but You’re the one who can fit the least likely
to Your purposes.
