Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“In your teaching show…soundness of speech…”
(Titus 2:7-8)

You’re not talking about the rules of grammar, are You, Jesus?

You’re telling me not to present speculation as fact.
You’re telling me to be kind toward others.
You’re telling me to speak with humility.
You’re telling me to stick to the truth.

I may not be the best speaker in the world.

What I have to say may not always be interesting.

But with Your help
I can do that.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned recognition:

“…no lie comes from the truth.”
(1 John 2:21)

What a powerful reminder, Jesus!

Every lie comes from the pits of hell

from the father of lies:

Satan.

If I tell a lie, that’s where I went to get it.

That’s who I consorted with to produce it.

If someone else lies to me, they pulled it right out of the flames.

They buddied up with Satan – if only a moment –

to receive it from his dirty, filthy, deceiving

smelly, evil hands.

Kinda makes me wanna stick to the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it…”
(1 John 2:21)

John was writing to those who believe in You, Jesus

not to those who had rejected You

which means He’s also writing to me.

I believe in the truth that You are God

that You came to this earth
to save us from our sins

by dying on the cross
then rising from the dead

to give all who believe in You eternal life!

Be forewarned, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.”
(2 Peter 2:3)

A made-up story can be enjoyable, Jesus –

as a fairy tale told to children
when a gifted novelist spins an intriguing adventure.

But when made-up stories are used to manipulate Your people and lead them astray

they’re not entertainment.
They’re a lie.

Satan is the father of lies.

His every intent is to steer people away from the truth

that always points to You.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel…”
(Galatians 2:14)

That’s when I’m forced to speak up, isn’t it, Jesus?

In a company, nation, church, community, project, group of friends

the first steps may seem right

but if over time there’s a blatant departure –

or a subtle one –

I can’t remain mute.

I have to speak up:

wisely, humbly, respectfully…
but firmly.

If I’m ignored, I have to keep trying

or get out.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I am not lying…”
(1 Timothy 2:7)

I feel for the Apostle Paul, Jesus.

These people thought so little of him
that he had to defend his own honor as a truthful man.

The worst part about it is that the moment you have to protest:

“I’m not lying!”

…it sounds like you are.

I know. I’ve been there.

The moment those words left my mouth
I felt how unbelievable they sounded.

But You know.
The truth will come out.

Take a deep breath, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…all will be condemned who have not believed the truth…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)

Pretty plain, Jesus.

Thanks for laying it out there

Those who refuse to believe the truth are not merely disciplined, punished.

You don’t simply give them a stern talking-to
put them in time out.

They’re condemned.

Last time I checked
that means hell.

Not just for a visit.
Forever.

Makes me develop a whole new appreciation

for the truth…the whole truth…
and nothing but the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead…”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

How could I forget, Jesus?

Because You live
so will I.

If You didn’t
I won’t.

But thank God

You did!

Some people believe You were merely a great teacher.

They don’t accept that You worked miracles
but say You were a good man.

No.

That they cannot say.

You declared:

“I am the way, the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“God sends them a powerful delusion…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:11)

How could this be, Jesus?

You don’t just love the truth
You Are the Truth!

Why would You send people any kind of delusion…

let alone one that’s powerful?

But that’s what You do to people who reject truth, isn’t it?

When they refuse Your Word
they’re turning their backs on You.

Since they’d rather hear lies than submit to Your leadership

You give them what they want

then lay it on thick.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…heard what John had said and…followed Jesus.”
(John 1:40)

I’ve heard what John said, Jesus –

and I’m following You.

Your words through John and the other Bible authors

have the ring of truth like no other.

But that’s not all.

They’re backed up by fact.

Nor is that all.

They’re confirmed by my experience.

If it sounds like the truth

looks like the truth

and lives like the truth

I’m staking my life on it:

It’s the Truth.
