Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude-filled confidence:

“…he who has established me securely…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

And that You have, Jesus.

You’ve established me securely.

You’ve done it through that very promise You made to King David.

You told him he would always have a descendant to sit on the throne.

When You, descended from the line of David

paid for my sins on the cross
rose from the dead

then ascended back to Your throne in heaven

You established me through faith in You

Eternally.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Finding Philip, he said to him, ‘Follow me.’”
(John 1:43)

You deliberately left Galilee to find Phillip, Jesus

just like You deliberately chose, called and saved me.

There was nothing in my sinful human nature that would have chosen You

until You chose me.

Only then did I begin to grasp that You love me so much

that You went to the cross to pay for my sins

then rose from the dead

so we could be together

forever.

Unashamedly plead with God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I know the slander…”
(Revelation 2:9)

Thank You for understanding, Jesus!

because this isn’t merely people saying something negative about me.

This is slander – lying about me in a way that damages my reputation.

If my reputation is destroyed, my effectiveness is ruined.
People won’t believe me, won’t trust me.

Of course, that’s what happened when they crucified You, wasn’t it?

…until You rose from the dead!

Every time somebody slanders me, Jesus…

step in and resurrect my reputation!

Saturday, November 10, 2018…….. 5th Anniversary of 1on1 Church!

 

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…God’s Word is not chained.”
(2 Timothy 2:9)

They threw Paul in prison, Jesus –

chained him like a criminal.

Why? For preaching the good news about You –

that You were crucified for the sins of all who believe
that You rose from the dead three days later
that You’re coming back for Your own.

They wanted to shut him up.

But all they could do was chain the man.

They couldn’t chain truth then

and can’t do it now.

Pray this Lazaroo with goose bumps:

“These are the words of him…who died and came to life again.”
(Revelation 2:8)

That would be You, Jesus.

And that gets my attention.

Yours wasn’t one of those “near-death” swoons lasting a few seconds.

You were crucified, speared, dead, embalmed, buried –
in the grave from Friday night to Sunday morning.

Then You walked out whole, triumphant!

You have the words of eternal life.

When You speak

things happen.

When You speak

I’m listening.

When You speak

I’m obeying.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…if you continue in your faith…”
(Colossians 1:23)

Why wouldn’t I continue in my faith in You, Jesus?

Only if I don’t truly believe in You to start with.

Because if I fully accept who You Are –

Creator of everything
the God-Man who came to earth as a baby
my Savior who died for my sins and rose again –

I would never, ever give up my faith in You

any more than You will ever give up on me.

Pray this Lazaroo with over-the-top trust:

“…you have known him who is from the beginning.”
(1 John 2:14)

That would be You, Jesus.

Yes, You came to this earth as a baby
born of a virgin.

You grew, lived, loved, taught, worked miracles
died, rose from the dead, returned to heaven.

But before Abraham was born

You Are.

You created the heavens and the earth

every plant, animal and human – all of it.

Now You’ve given me the privilege of 1on1 time with You?

Mind-blowing.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs and ropes.”
(Numbers 3:37)

Just when I think I’m done, Jesus

there’s always more.

There’s no stopping place on earth, is there?

I can walk off the job
but there’s no end to the work that needs to be done

until, as with You on the cross at the end of my life I can say:

“It is finished!”

And like You…

I will rise!

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown worship:

“…the man Christ Jesus…”
(1 Timothy 2:5)

You surely are, Jesus!

Fully man.

Your mother Mary was fully human

transferring her humanity to You.

If You weren’t human

You couldn’t have been tempted like I am
couldn’t have died for my sins.

Of course, God was Your Father

making You fully God –

the God-man!

which is why You said “No!” to every temptation
making You the perfect, sinless sacrifice

who rose from the dead to grant me eternal life.
