Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

This is what the Lord says: ‘As for the prophets who lead my people astray, they proclaim “peace” if they have something to eat, but prepare to wage war against anyone who refuses to feed them. Therefore night will come over you, without visions, and darkness, without divination.’”
(Micah 3:5-6)

It’s so tempting to tell nice people what they want to hear, Jesus

instead of what they need to hear.

Nevertheless!

Make me a faithful, reliable, Biblically-accurate truth-teller.

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“…when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves…They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.”
(Romans 2:14-15)

I have the law, Jesus –

along with the prophets, gospels and epistles.

But I don’t want to depend solely on my conscience to apply them.

I’m relying on You, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“This is what the Lord says: ‘As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim “peace”…’”
(Micah 3:5)

False prophecy is disgusting, Jesus.

Lying to the people who feed them
pandering to them, reassuring them

in spite of the fact
that they were sent by You
to warn them.

Question:

Do I ever tell people what they want to hear

instead of what they need to hear

because I want them to like me?

Pray this Lazaroo with anticipation:

“The vision of Obadiah.”
(Obadiah 1:1)

And so begins the shortest book of the Old Testament, Jesus.

From scant clues within its 21 verses
we surmise Obadiah may have been
the first of the writing prophets.

Obadiah is a popular Bible name, given to 12 different men.

However, we don’t know for sure that he was any of them.

But these words aren’t from him, are they?

They are a direct, powerful, blistering message of warning

through him
from You.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.”
(Ephesians 2:19-20)

I belong, Jesus! I’m part of something far bigger than myself.

Because I belong to You

I belong to everyone on the face of the earth

who also belongs to You

and to every saint who has preceded me

into heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly humility:

“But let no one bring a charge, let no one accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest. You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother—my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”
(Hosea 4:4-6)

When they ignorantly accused one another Jesus

they weren’t all that unlike us
when we judge our fellow believers.

Like them…

we don’t know what we’re talking about.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, ‘It’s no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.’ As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the people of Israel are disgraced—they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets.”
(Jeremiah 2:25-26)

I don’t have to sin, Jesus!

No matter how many times I’ve caved in to Satan’s temptation

Your power is still mine

to say NO!

Let the goose bumps multiply, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations…”
(Colossians 1:26)

You revealed so much to Your kings and prophets, Jesus –

to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah –

but You saved some of Your best stuff for Your Church.

For me.

Everything You did in the past was pointing to this!

May I never be jealous of what they had back then, Father.
Because today – with You in me and I in You –

I’m livin’ the dream.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.”
(Jude 1:17)

Why would Jude tell me to remember their words, Jesus?

Only one reason:

Because what they foretold will come true.

As with Your prophets down through the ages

You reveal the future to Your people through Your apostles.

Of course, just because people call themselves prophets or apostles

doesn’t mean they’re the real deal.

People don’t appoint themselves to these high offices.

Only You have that right.

On this Easter Sunday, let’s pray this Lazaroo together with unbridled JOY!

“Elisha son of Shaphat is here.”
(2 Kings 3:11)

…and Jesus Son of God is HERE!

O Father! You promised through Your prophets
that the Messiah would come –

and Jesus came!

In the double portion of the spirit of Elijah You granted him,

Elisha worked miracle after miracle.

But NOBODY did what You did, Jesus.

NOBODY has done what You’ve done.

You’re alive! You’re alive! You have risen from the dead!

You rule and reign forevermore!

CHRIST IS RISEN!

CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED!
