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 courageous wisdom:

“…their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s a sure sign of demonic activity, isn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody actively tries to stop me from telling people about You

I need to rebuke Satan and redouble my efforts to share the gospel!

Of course, if they’re not trying to stop me from witnessing

but merely coaching me to be wiser in how I approach others

maybe I need to listen! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“I have become its servant by the commission God gave me…”
(Colossians 1:25)

You’ve also given me a commission, Jesus!

I’m supposed to share Your good news
with those who don’t yet know You.

I like what everybody thinks St. Francis of Assisi had to say about that:

Preach the gospel at all times.
If necessary, use words.

Of course, Francis didn’t say that – but still, it reminds me:

My words have power
only if backed up by my life.

Pray this Lazaroo with big picture perspective:

“…I must leave them to the one who comes after me.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

Important reminder, Jesus.

All the stuff I’ve accumulated
will get left behind the moment I draw my last breath.

Maybe I should love things less

and love You more.

Maybe I should invest far greater time, energy and resources

in the lives of the people who inhabit this planet with me
and with whom I will spend eternity

if I make sure they hear about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting excitement:

“…the word of God, which you heard from us…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:13)

I want to be able to say that, Jesus –

to somebody!

The very thought of being the first person to tell another person about You

gives me goose bumps.

But just as good is being the thousandth person to share Your Word

with a person who has run away with all their might

and see that person turn…

to come all the way back home to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted adoration:

“Jesus sent him away…”
(Mark 1:43)

Sounds ominous, Jesus…

but this was no rejection.

You had just delivered this man from leprosy!

Now healed, You were sending Him away
with an assignment.

Like him, You’ve forgiven the leprosy of my sin!
Now healed, You’ve sent me away with an assignment:

Tell everyone about You.

But being sent away isn’t as lonely and traumatic as it sounds.

You’ve promised to go with me
while You send me away.

 Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication: 

“…speak my words to them.”
(Ezekiel 3:4)

Is there any holier privilege, Jesus –

than to know Your Word
and share it with others?

Perhaps I take it for granted.

If so, please remind me
that billions of people on this planet cannot.

Have I ever passed up such an opportunity –
one You’ve lovingly, strategically provided?

I’m sure I have

for fear
because I wasn’t paying attention.

May I not be guilty of such an inexcusable omission

in 2016.
