Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

” to…Archippus our fellow soldier…”
(Philemon 1:2)

Paul knew, Jesus:

We’re in a war.

Right against wrong.
Good against evil.
God against Satan.

In a war, you’ve gotta have soldiers

and Paul was so grateful for Archippus!

Like Paul

I’m grateful for every soldier who understands this war
and comes alongside me in the fight.

Most wars are life and death –

small potatoes compared to this one –

which is eternal life and death.

With stakes this high

I need every fellow soldier You provide!

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned realization:

“…they have rebelled against you.”
(Psalms 5:10)

Some people rebel against You defiantly and openly, Jesus.

Others do so while outwardly professing their faith in You.

If all sin is a form of rebellion then I shamefully confess:

I’ve rebelled against You.

No, I’ve not rejected You as my Savior

but every time I do what I know I shouldn’t
I’ve rebelled against You as my LORD.

How dare I – Your soldier in Heaven’s army –

disobey my Commanding Officer?

Pray this Lazaroo in holy determination:

“…each marches straight ahead.”
(Joel 2:8)

Joel is referring to that army of supernatural locusts, Jesus –

a terrifying sight.

Marching “straight ahead” makes it sound like no matter what happened

they could not be sidetracked, distracted or stopped.

That’s who I long to be for You!

When it comes to obeying Your every command
may I be a soldier You can count on –

looking neither to the right, nor to the left
but keeping my eyes fixed on You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Joab…and David’s men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon.”
(2 Samuel 2:13)

This was a showdown, Jesus.

Mana a mano.
Shootout at the OK Corral.

Hundreds of brave, valiant soldiers were about to die.

Was there a better way to settle this?

Absolutely.

All they had to do was obey You.

But half of them wouldn’t
so the other half had no choice.

Give me the courage to fight

but always on Your side.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast hope:

“I came to you in weakness…”
(1 Corinthians 2:3)

That’s not how Paul wanted to show up, Jesus.

I don’t want to meet a new group of people that way, either.

But that’s the hand Paul was dealt

so he soldiered on, putting all his trust in You.

There have been times when You’ve put me in that same position, Father

perhaps for the same reason:

to teach me to soldier on
putting all my trust in You.

Strap on your armor as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”
(2 Timothy 2:3)

So much for pacifism, huh, Jesus?

You haven’t called me to join a country club.
You’ve called me to serve in Your army.

This life is a battle.

If I want to win, I can’t sit back and watch.
I’ve got to fight.

Confession?

Sometimes I get battle-weary.
I want to call “Time out!”

But that’s not gonna happen, is it?

The moment I let down my guard
I lose.
