Pray this Lazaroo in wholehearted acceptance:

“…it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.”
(1 Peter 2:15-17)

You know how hard it is to obey those last three words, Jesus!

Especially when I despise their words and actions.

But You have Your reasons.

Bottom line?
That’s good enough for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with riveted attention:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.”
(Proverbs 4:23-24)

When You tell me, “Above all else,” Jesus

that’s something I dare not ignore.

You’re telling me to love what You love

and nothing else.

Only then will my mouth be free of perversity

my lips from corrupt talk.

And since I have to guard my heart

that tells me Satan is attempting to steal it.

Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of the LORD:

“…the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. ‘Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,’ she said…referring to circumcision.”
(Exodus 4:24-26)

Had Moses refused to obey You because of his wife, Jesus?

Putting anyone or anything ahead of you is idolatry.
You weren’t about to send an idolater to Egypt to free your people!

Is there anything or anyone with whom I’m committing idolatry, Holy Spirit?

If You were that tough on Moses…

On this 11th Lazaroo anniversary, let’s pray together with burning zeal:

“Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds…”
(Jeremiah 2:20)

That sounds wonderful, Jesus!

Freedom is good, right?

But not this time.

Your people had broken all ties to You.

To be free from obedience to You and Your Word

is to be shackled in a deep, dark, dank prison
on death row.

True freedom is found only in You.

Satan’s so-called “freedom” is built on lies and deceit
and ends in utter devastation.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who can:

“…the slave is freed from his master.”
(Job 3:19)

Pretty fitting on this 4th of July, Jesus!

There came a day in the history of these United States
when we could no longer endure England’s rule.

But Job was referring to death –

which, because of his pain
looked mighty good to him at that time.

O God!

Help me truly, utterly, completely, irrevocably die
to my old sin master Satan

and walk in the freedom

of obedience to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in heartfelt gratitude:

“…free those…held in slavery…”
(Hebrews 2:15)

That’s what You’re all about, isn’t it, Jesus?

You love to free slaves.

Yes! – people who are enslaved because of the color of their skin!
But there are other kinds of slavery, too:

financial slavery to crushing debt
the stronger over the weaker
governmental abuse
sex slavery.

But because of its eternal consequences

the worst slavery of all is slavery to sin

Thank God!

Freedom from that slavery
is Your absolute specialty.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…he…takes captive all the peoples.”
(Habakkuk 2:5)

I have no interest in being an evil person’s captive, Jesus.

I detest the very thought.
Freedom is precious to me.

Not freedom from You, though!

Rather, freedom to become everything You’ve created me to be.
Every other pursuit is jail, captivity, bondage.

Of course, that’s not how the tempter presents it.

The bars of his cage are cleverly disguised
the rusty padlock hidden from sight
his key to open it

nonexistent.
