Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound…”
(Ezekiel 3:12)

That would get my attention, Jesus!

For good reason.

It wasn’t a wagon, a rock or a herd of animals.
It was the sound of the wings of supernatural beings!

Shivers. Terror. Awe. Goose bumps.

I’ve never heard that sound Ezekiel heard

but You led him to share it with me so I could imagine it.

But not only imagine it.
Anticipate it!

…when I join him in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“If we died with him, we will also live with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

Because of the cross, Jesus

I believe You paid for the sins of my past.
I’m looking forward to living with You in heaven.

But that phrase, “died with him” gives me pause.

“With” You.

Wow.

You mean…right there?

It sounds like You want me to envision

hanging on the cross with You
until, as death to sin engulfs me I cry:

“It is finished!”

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“He called you to this…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

When some people hear the gospel, Jesus –

that You were born to a virgin
lived a sinless life, teaching and performing miracles
were crucified and rose from the dead
to save from their sins all who believe
so they can live forever with You in heaven –

they reject it.

But I didn’t!

When I heard that amazing good news

I knew it was true
and I believed!

because You called me.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…remember that at that time you were separate from Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I don’t like to remember that time, Jesus.

It’s too painful.

But clearly, You want me to remember it!

Why?

Is it so I’ll be grateful for my connection with You now?

I am. I truly am.

Especially remembering what it was like to not have

Your indwelling Presence
the intimacy of our ongoing conversation throughout the day

the sweet assurance of my salvation in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“…will become my people.”
(Zechariah 2:11)

There are two kinds of people walking this earth, Jesus:

Your people
and those who are not Your people.

It doesn’t have anything to do with sex, age, size, skin color, intelligence, nationality, denomination or religiosity.

The difference between heaven and hell is belief in You –

that You are God come to this earth as a man
that You died on the cross for our sins
and on the third day rose again.

Get your priorities straight as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain…”
(Habakkuk 2:9)

I catch myself wanting to get ahead, Jesus.

But You make it clear:

If I cheat to do so
I’ll end up behind.

Worse yet, there’s the punishment

that accompanies the transgression.

Why would I break Your rules in an attempt to succeed on this earth?

What happens on this planet is only the preseason.
It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose here.

My reward
is in Heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“…who…rejoice when they reach the grave…”
(Job 3:22)

Job’s suffering was so great

that the grave looked good to him, Jesus!

He’s certainly not the only person in the midst of pain and anguish

who’s felt that way.

But of course, the grave’s not the end.

It’s only the beginning:

Hell for those who’ve rejected You
Heaven for those who’ve trusted You as their Savior.

My goal isn’t the grave, Father!

It’s the joy of what awaits me on the other side.

Pray this Lazaroo in longing belief:

“Then the two men started back.”
(Joshua 2:23)

When it comes to vacations, Jesus

many people believe it’s more fun to leave
than to start back.

But as healthy as a break can be

a person who loves their work
is eager to resume.

A person who loves their home
is thankful to return.

Help me truly embrace the calling You’ve placed on my life!

while remembering that heaven –

not this world –

is my true home.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude-packed passion:

“…proclaim to it the message I give you.”
(Jonah 3:2)

That’s my assignment, isn’t it, Jesus?

Wherever You send me
I’m to proclaim the message You give me.

Sometimes the message is in words

at other times through actions, attitude.

More than a few times
it’s about what I don’t do or say.

This isn’t a temporary assignment, is it?

It’s permanent – every day, week, month, year
all the way to the end here

and into heaven eternally.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Does [the LORD] do such things?”
(Micah 2:7)

Unbelieving people accuse You of doing so much wrong, Jesus.

But is that what You do?

No!

Because it’s not who You are.

Do You punish wrong? Yes –

though not as our sins deserve.

Are You unfair in Your judgments? Absolutely not.

Instead, just the opposite – You are uncomprehendingly merciful.

Is there an eternal hell that awaits all evildoers? Certainly –

along with an eternal, glorious heaven
for every sinner who repents.
