Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.”
(Revelation 3:3)

Is there any area of my life where I’m spiritually asleep, Jesus?

Wake me up!

I long to be alert and ready
to repel Satan’s attacks

and to receive whatever You have in store for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:12)

So, Jesus:

You’re telling me that people who have only the spirit of the world
can’t understand what You’ve freely given those who trust You.

That makes sense.

It also explains the blank stares I get from those tied to this world

when I tell them about You.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful remembrance:

“…when you received the word of God…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Thank You for that time I received Your Word, Jesus!

I’m not talking about the first time I heard it.

Perhaps it didn’t fully penetrate.

I’m not talking about the time I first read some of it.

Perhaps I wasn’t as focused as I should have been.

I’m talking about the day, the hour, the very moment –

when I said, “Yes!” to You

with every part of me

forever.
