Pray this Lazaroo in shocked sobriety:

“Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace and said, ‘I have a message from God for you.’ As the king rose from his seat, Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly.”
(Judges 3:20-21)

May I never need to receive a message like that from You, Jesus!

Help me heed Your Word and obey it completely

the first time.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:”
(Jonah 3:7)

Unbelievably powerful, Jesus.

An unrighteous king hears a message from You
recognizes the error of his ways
repents of his sin

and here’s the part that nails it:

he makes it public!

As a result, the whole nation repents!

Great God!
Give us leaders of such great courage today.
I beg You!

because that just may be what it takes

to rescue my country and all the nations
from the coming disaster we deserve.

Be warned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says’…”
(Ezekiel 3:11)

I will, Jesus.

All I have to do is quote to them the words in the Bible –

being certain the passage I quote
applies to them.

But when it comes to claiming a message is from You that is not in the Bible?

I’d better be 100 per cent certain
I’m not speaking out of my own imagination.

You will not allow such arrogance to go unpunished.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The Sovereign LORD has spoken – who can but prophesy?”
(Amos 3:8)

I agree, Jesus.

When I know the message is from You

how can I keep quiet?
how dare I keep my mouth shut?

But that’s the essential qualifier, isn’t it?

I have to know You’re the One who’s spoken.

The last thing I want to do is tell somebody something in Your Name

when You haven’t said it.

Misquoting anyone is dangerous.

But misquoting You
is the worst.

Pray this Lazaroo in simple, obedient trust:

“Go now to your countrymen in exile and speak to them.”
(Ezekiel 3:11)

When somebody goes to such people with a message from You

they may not be thrilled to hear it –

especially if they think I’m coming across as
“holier than thou.”

I know I’m not.

But when I speak with Your authority
they may mistakenly think I’m speaking with mine.

Still, it doesn’t matter.

If you send me to a group of suspicious, grouchy people

I’ll go.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid determination:

“This is what you are to say to the Israelites…”
(Exodus 3:14)

What a responsibility that would be, Jesus –

to have You give me a message for Your people.

I’d be terrified not to give it!

Equally terrified to somehow get it wrong.

Sobering stuff…

because along with every one of Your followers
You have given me a message for Your people
straight from Your Word.

Please help me deliver it with piercing effectiveness

and get it 100% right.
