Pray this Lazaroo…in awe:

“…united with Christ…”
(Philippians 2:1)

What a mind-blowing thought, Jesus!

But it’s more than a thought.
It’s reality.

This is my current status:

I’m united with You!

I’m in You
You’re in me.

You know everything I’m thinking, what I’m saying and doing.

Thanks to the Indwelling Holy Spirit
I have Your mind on every matter I need to address.

You and I are bound together –

not just for the duration of my life on this earth
but forever.

Bow in gratitude to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“For the Israelites will live many days…without ephod…”
(Hosea 3:4)

What a loss, Jesus!

Your people were accustomed to being able to go to the priest
who would consult the Urim and Thummim in the ephod
and You would show them the way they were to take.

I’ve lived all my life without the ephod, Father –

but not without Your direction!

for You’ve given Your people something far more intimate than the ephod.

O Holy Spirit!
I have You.

Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt pleading:

“Go, assemble the elders of Israel…”
(Exodus 3:16)

Israel’s elders spoke to and for Your people, Jesus.

They were seasoned, experienced, wise, trustworthy.

But for all that, the message You told Moses to deliver to them

would have been almost impossible to accept
unless you moved on the hearts of the elders to believe it –

which You did.

Do that for me, Holy Spirit!

When You send me to someone with an amazing message, please:

Go before me.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They will occupy the fields of…Samaria…”
(Obadiah 1:19)

For years Your people refused to enter Samaria, Jesus –

home of those who intermarried with non-Jews
who mixed worship of You with worship of false gods.

But You loved them, ministered to them, won them to Yourself!

How often You draw closer to the outcast
than to the proud and haughty!

Remind me not to seek acceptance by the in-crowd, Holy Spirit

but to search for those

who are searching for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”
(Exodus 3:15)

It’s not the only Name we call You, Jesus…Yeshua…Messiah…Savior…

Abba…Adonai…Creator…El Shaddai…Alpha and Omega…
Father…Son…Holy Spirit…LORD…God –

but it’s the one that says it all:

I AM.

You’re…Always.

Without beginning.
Without end.

No wonder I worship You!

No wonder I praise You for everything good
call on You when I’m in distress!

No wonder I desire deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship with You!

You ARE.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“Will they not…make you tremble?”
(Habakkuk 2:7)

Many things bother me, Jesus

but only one thing makes me tremble:

displeasing You.

In You I need fear nothing and no one else.

But because of Your great love for me
Your forgiveness, mercy, protection

it would devastate me to think that in some way

I might disappoint You.

Don’t let that happen, Holy Spirit!

If I start to take even one step in that direction
please, please!

Let me know.

Pray this Lazaroo with discernment:

“I AM has sent me to you.”
(Exodus 3:14)

I’m leery, Jesus…

when somebody walks up and says:
“God told me to tell you…”

A percentage of those people are unstable.

Others who talk like that are self-deluded.
Still others are manipulative charlatans.

But the thing is, there’s always the possibility

that one of them could be telling the truth.

Whatever anyone says has to be backed up by Your Word

and confirmed within me
by You, Holy Spirit.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
(2 Peter 1:21)

Your prophets knew what that was like, Jesus

I’d like to know what that’s like, too.

I don’t want to be carried along by Satan

by the crowd

by my best friend

by my own thoughts.

Those carriers can’t get me very far –

not in the right direction, at least!

You’re the only one who can carry me safely

perfectly

in the right way

all the way home.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep desire:

“As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears…
(Luke 1:44)

…something truly amazing happened.

I don’t know that any of my greetings
has ever had that effect, Jesus.

But it would be awesome!

I’m not really talking about what happened to Elizabeth
when Mary spoke, the baby leaped in her womb
and she was filled with the Holy Spirit.

What I mean is

I’d love to so faithfully convey Your message
that somebody’s life forever changes.

Pray this Lazaroo, in awe:

“God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.”
(Exodus 3:14)

If anyone else said that by way of introduction, Jesus

it would seem rude.

But when Moses asked Your Name

that’s what You had to tell Him.

What else could You say?

You’re not like anyone else!

Everyone else – in one way or other – is like You.

You made us in Your Image.

Having said that…

I’d like to look a lot more like You

than I do.
