Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“‘I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,’ declares the Lord.”
(Amos 4:10)

When these things happen to us, Jesus

we think You’ve abandoned us.

But no! You haven’t!

You’re shaking us awake
getting our attention

inciting us to return to You
before it’s too late.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter reliance on God:

“…Ehud had made a double-edged sword…which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man. After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it.”
(Judges 3:16-19)

Eglon never would have trusted Ehud, Jesus

If he had known what was coming next.

I have no idea who’s carrying a sword to use on me

or on those I love, Holy Spirit

but You do.

I beg You:

Protect us!

Pray this Lazaroo with catalytic dedication:

“‘In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravenous lion. You of this generation, consider the word of the Lord: ‘Have I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people say, “We are free to roam; we will come to you no more”?’”
(Jeremiah 2:30-31)

May I never dismiss Your warnings, Jesus!

Open my eyes wide
sharpen my hearing.

Cause me to repent

so I can be spared.

Pray this Lazaroo in awed anticipation:

“Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant? Look! It is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel, all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.”
(Song of Songs 3:6-8)

What an amazing sight, Jesus!

But a far better one is coming

when I follow You on Your great white horse

into end-time battle!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Abner called out to Joab, ‘Must the sword devour forever? Don’t you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their fellow Israelites?’”
(2 Samuel 2:26)

This was the wise plea, Jesus

of a general whose army was being soundly beaten.

There’s a time to keep fighting

and a time to call a halt to the hostilities
when nothing worthwhile is being accomplished.

O Holy Spirit!

Give me Your discernment
to know which is which.

Pray this Lazaroo in wise anticipation:

“They will beat their swords into plowshares…”
(Isaiah 2:4)

That’s a wonderful thing to do with a sword, Jesus –

reshape it into a tool that digs in the ground
rather than into a human being

turn a megaton bomb into a megawatt power station
retool a lethal dagger into a life-saving scalpel.

Sounds good.

We need to keep working on that.

But until evil is eliminated from the earth
good people need to keep a few swords handy

just in case.
