Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.”
(1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

I don’t take this seriously enough, do I, Jesus?

This is real.
We together – Your Church – are Your temple.

Help us at least begin to grasp the honor You have bestowed on us!

Rise up within us, Holy Spirit
to live accordingly.

Stay focused, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Have you suffered so much for nothing – if it really was for nothing? Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:4)

Paul’s getting a little perturbed at them, Jesus.

They’re still trying to work their way to heaven

instead of trusting what You did on the cross
as payment in full for their sins.

Please don’t let me make the same mistake!

Pray this Lazaroo with fierce determination:

“And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Since that’s what You’re looking for, Jesus

that’s who I long to be.

There’s only one problem:

I’ve got a long way to go.

Make that a long, long, long way to go.

But no matter how many times I fall short, landing on my face in disgrace

I’m going to keep trying…and trying…and trying…

leaning on You, Holy Spirit
all the way

until my faith
becomes sight.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.”
(Acts 2:32-33)

That’s it in a nutshell, Jesus:

exactly what’s going on before my very eyes.

I may not be an eyewitness to Your resurrection

but I am most definitely an eyewitness

to what Your Spirit is doing in my life!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.”
(Jude 1:19)

That’s everything, isn’t it, Jesus?

To have Your Spirit living in me
because I’ve put my trust in You alone as my Savior.

Those who live by their natural instincts don’t get it.

Their actions make that abundantly clear.

The most loving thing I can do for them

is to introduce them to You
and the indwelling Majesty of Your Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away.”
(Nahum 2:7)

I wouldn’t want to hear that decree, Jesus –

especially if I had reason to believe
it came straight from You.

Somewhat bizarre people have been standing on street corners for decades

holding signs declaring: “The End is Coming!”
Mostly, people give them a wide berth
and ignore their message.

But I’m staying alert, Father!

If the day comes when Your Word and Your Spirit say, “Go!”

I’m outta here!

Pray this Lazaroo in reverent awe:

“…God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 2:10)

There are awesome things You want me to know, Jesus –

that can’t be heard
that can’t be shown
that can’t be felt
that can’t be tasted
that no fragrance can waft through the air.

My five senses are limited during my sojourn on earth.

These are the things so deep and profound, Holy Spirit
that You have to supernaturally place them
directly into my heart.

Be so very grateful! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…fellowship with the Spirit…”
(Philippians 2:1)

There’s nothing like it, Jesus!

You in me…in the Person of the Holy Spirit.

You and the Father are One

so I have all of You…

in me!

That boggles my mind.

It feels too good to be true
but I know it is.

I’m never alone

never out of options

never at a loss.

If I ever feel that way

it’s because I’m not remaining

Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment
in 1on1 relationship with You.
