Pray this Lazaroo in building anticipation:

“…about whom the prophets also wrote…”
(John 1:45)

The prophets wrote about You, Jesus

because Your Heavenly Father told them what to write.

But most of them had little real knowledge of who You’d really be.

You gave each of them a small piece of the puzzle to share
without ever revealing the whole picture.

It’s up to those of us who’ve come later to fit all the pieces together

until our jaws drop in stunned love and wonder.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Is there no prophet of the LORD here…?”
(2 Kings 3:11)

Good question, Jesus.

When You place a prophet among us

we need to know it and pay attention
to whatever You proclaim through them.

But praise Your Holy Name!

Prophet or none, I can go to You directly, Holy Spirit!
I can always turn to the sure guidance of Your Word.

That way, when someone shows up claiming to be a prophet

I can check ‘em out. 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…the Israelites will live many days without king or prince…”
(Hosea 3:4)

At first, that may not have seemed like much of a threat, Jesus.

They had lived for more than a thousand years without either –
trusting Your prophets and judges to lead them.

Now, however, they had spent the last 300 years living under a king.

They were used to it.
Dependent on it.

Like I would be without You

they were leaderless…directionless.

Lead me, Holy Spirit!

Pray this Lazaroo with sharpened awareness:

“Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.”
(Acts 2:18)

Well, I guess that ends the debate about whether or not we still have prophets, Jesus.

Some of them are men
some of them are women.

That pretty much ends the sexism debate, too.

But it doesn’t end my need for discernment.

Not everyone who claims to be a prophet

is what they claim to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the only true God:

“…there were also false prophets among the people…”
(2 Peter 2:1)

Always have been, Jesus.

Way back in the day…
all the way to this very moment.

Some of them have wanted so badly to hear from You

that they’ve ended up deceiving themselves

actually believing that what they’re spouting originated with You

instead of in the dark recesses of their deluded minds.

Others are fakes, charlatans, phonies.

They’re lying to the gullible
and they know it.

Spare me, Father!

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not prophesy about these things…”
(Micah 2:6)

Most people are eager to hear a prophecy, Jesus

if they believe it’s true
if the prophecy predicts punishment for their enemies
and/or a happy future for them.

Obviously, that’s not the kind of prophecy You entrusted to Your prophet Micah.

Of course, there are false prophets
who prophesy only what their audience wants to hear.

But among Your true followers

those who prophesy such lies
have a limited shelf life.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“And we have the word of the prophets…a light shining in a dark place…”
(2 Peter 1:19)

The world started out dark, Jesus, until You said –

“’Let there be light,’
and there was light.”

But all too soon, we bought into Satan’s lies

and the world plunged into a gloom far worse:
spiritual darkness.

So You gave us prophets –

ordinary people whose mouths You filled with Light –

to tide us over until You arrived in Person:

the Ultimate Light.

Pray this Lazaroo with Banzai belief:

“…we have the word of the prophets made more certain…”
(2 Peter 1:19)

How could the predictions of your prophets be made more certain, Jesus?

Well…I guess it would be when their prophecies came true.

The prophets who claimed to speak for You were to be stoned to death

if their prophesies were proved false.

That still didn’t stop some of them from prophesying lies in the short term

but it sure would have been a disincentive for me.
