Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“‘Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!’ So they went out and began killing throughout the city. While they were killing and I was left alone, I fell facedown, crying out, ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?’”
(Ezekiel 9:7-8)

No, Jesus.

You didn’t destroy them all.

But You do know whom to destroy and whom to spare.

I don’t deserve it –

but thank You for sparing me

right down to this very moment.

Shudder as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Woe to the city of blood, full of lies…”
(Nahum 3:1)

Which is worse, Jesus –

a city full of blood
or a city full of lies?

They’re both horrible…

but the worst has to be a city full of lies.

Even when there’s blood

if people tell the truth
you know where you stand.

But with lies

you know nothing.

You don’t know which end is up
who to trust – if anyone.

Great God Almighty!

Make me a person of truth!

Please spare me

from those whose mouths
are full of lies.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.”
(1 Samuel 2:33-34)

You’re longsuffering, Jesus.

For such a very long time You refrain from punishing.

But when we despise Your patience as weakness…

oh, dear God!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘I am against you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘I will burn up your chariots in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions.’”
(Nahum 2:13)

The young lions are the future, Jesus.

If You punish a nation by destroying the best of their youth
You doom that country to become increasingly weak

eventually to disappear

which is exactly what happened in 637

to the once great city of Nineveh.

O God!

I beg You: Spare our young lions!

Pray this Lazaroo with lights out determination!

“…if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah…”
(2 Peter 2:5)

Now, why would You do that, Jesus?

Well, let’s see:

Noah was a righteous man.
He was blameless among the people of his time.
He walked with You.

Wow. No wonder he found favor in Your eyes!

I can either shake my head, admitting I’m no Noah…

or I can ask You to rise up within me in total transformation.
