Be filled with confidence, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.”
(Revelation 2:12)

The members of Your church in Pergamum –

now the city of Bergama, Turkey –

had to hear these words with great joy, Jesus!

Back then, it was a powerful, rich city in Mysia, Greece –

where Satan had his throne.

You were reminding these stalwart followers of Yours

of the same thing You’re telling me:

I will protect you!

Great God!

Wield Your double-edged sword
against the enemy of my soul.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
(Revelation 2:10)

I know Your promise is true, Jesus!

It motivates me.

But knowing that being faithful to You might lead me to be tortured to death

puts a damper on my enthusiasm.

That may not be the path You’ve chosen for me

but why not?
Countless millions of Your followers have been martyrs.

So if it is…

help me remain faithful.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“This is the gospel that you heard…”
(Colossians 1:23)

Your gospel, Jesus!

The good news that You Are God
that You came to this earth as a baby
grew to be a man who taught truth, worked miracles
who died on the cross for the sins of all who believe
who will return to take Your followers to heaven forever.

Everybody’s got to hear your gospel!

Please use me however You wish, Father
to bring that miracle to pass.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“My message and my preaching were not with wise…words…”
(1 Corinthians 2:4)

Well, that was totally unexpected, Jesus.

I would have thought as educated as he was
the Apostle Paul would have dropped pearls of wisdom on them

in every other sentence.

But he was no longer interested in impressing them

getting them to focus on himself.

He wasn’t trying to create followers of Paul.

He was all about one thing and one thing only:

pointing them to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.”
(Malachi 2:7)

What a privilege, Jesus!

…and what an awesome responsibility.

To be one whose job it is to share Your truth with others

is a glorious, fearsome calling.

Once that was the task You assigned to Your priests, Your prophets

but today…on this side of the cross…

no longer just them.

That glad pleasure…that terrifying mission…

has been given to every one
of those who by faith follow You

including me.
