Pray this Lazaroo in sobered attention:

“…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell…”
(2 Peter 2:4)

Instructive, Jesus.

Obviously, You’re telling me this for a reason.

It’s not just to inform me of an historical event, is it?

You want me to take note…
and apply the lesson.

I’m pretty sure this is it:

There’s a hell reserved for those who listen to Satan
and reject You.

Message received and recorded.
Lesson absorbed.

Deep breath…

…ready for the test.

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.

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 bold belief:

“…a teacher of the true faith…”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

Kinda makes it sound like there are false faiths out there, Jesus…

…which there are.

When You said no one comes to the Father except through You

You weren’t kidding.

Of course, that’s not politically correct.

It wasn’t then.
It’s certainly not now.

Hell isn’t politically correct either.

But that doesn’t change the hard fact:

that You’re the only way to heaven
and every contrary teaching

leads straight to hell.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“…fix your thoughts on Jesus…whom we confess.”
(Hebrews 3:1)

Okay, Jesus…

I confess that I know You –

not as well as I should
but enough to love You with all my heart.

I confess that I need You!

Because of my sins, I was on my to hell
before You saved me.

I confess that I’m not living for You as I should –

but that I’m giving it all I’ve got
to become everything You’ve created me to be.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled awareness:

“Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith…?”
(James 2:5)

Wow. Why would that be, Jesus?

Atheists might suggest that the poor are undereducated.

But any education that points away from You

originates in the fiery pits of hell.

Perhaps their lack of money is a clue, however.

Those not blinded by the false hope of riches
are among the first to recognize:

You are our only Hope.

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.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit-led discernment:

“They will secretly introduce destructive heresies…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

That’s the worst kind, Jesus.

A heresy – teaching something contrary to Your Word –
is bad enough.

Some heresies are factual mistakes –

perpetrated by people who mean well
whose scholarship is lacking.

In some cases their error is troubling, but limited.

However, when someone deliberately sets out to deceive Your people

in order to destroy them?

Their Satan-inspired lies will be exposed and sent to hell

along with those who crafted them.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the wicked will be cut off from the land…”
(Proverbs 2:22)

Without a land to live in, Jesus

there’s no way to go home.

Of course, before You cut them off

the wicked believe they’re getting away with the evil they’re doing.

They don’t believe there’s a God in heaven who not only sees

but will do something about it.

But when they’re cut off, do they repent?

No.

They blame everyone else and curse You

till their dying breath.

Pray this Lazaroo – your heart bursting with gratitude:

“…Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom…”
(1 Timothy 2:5-6)

Oh, what a revelation, Jesus!

I was a prisoner to death, hell, sin, my own flesh
my fallen nature held captive by Satan.

The only payment that could buy my release was Your life.
And You paid it! You paid it! You paid it!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Never let me forget what my freedom cost You.

How dare I return to the gloom and stench
of my old cell?
