Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“…mighty are those who obey his command.”
(Joel 2:11)

I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Jesus

but it doesn’t take a genius to grasp this marvelous truth:

If I want to be mighty
I’ve got to obey You!

Why would I want to be mighty?

Because that’s what it takes
to accomplish what You’ve called me to do.

Because that’s what I need
to be able to thwart Satan’s every malicious attack.

Mighty God!

Help me obey!

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.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…saved through…belief in the truth.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It’s not my belief, Jesus.

I can’t save myself –
not even with my own self-manufactured belief.

You’re the One who gives me the gift of faith.
I’m saved by the sanctifying work of Your Holy Spirit.

Who gives me the ability to recognize truth when I hear it?

You do.

Who gives me the ability to respond to Your truth

by gratefully turning over to You my whole life?

Only You.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“And now, as surely as the LORD lives –”
(I Kings 2:24)

Those are strong words, Jesus.

Solomon was determined to put his brother Adonijah to death
that very day –

which he did.

But unless You’re the one who puts those words in my mouth

I don’t plan to ever speak them.

You live!

There is nothing more certain or more sacred
than that overriding, glorious, awe-inspiring truth.

My intentions – no matter how fervent –

will always pale in comparison.

Pray this Lazaroo with faith in the God who reveals Himself:

“…the way of truth…”
(2 Peter 2:2)

There are a lot of facts out there, Jesus.

Anyone with an eye, an ear, a mouth and a brain can state them.

There are many partial truths floating throughout society

for those who wish to ponder them.

But there’s only one way of truth

only one opportunity to see the whole of it.

You Are The Way

The Truth

and The Life.

No one comes to the Father except through You.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“…to find some of your children walking in the truth…”
(2 John 1:4)

One of the great finds of all time, Jesus!

There are so many people who aren’t committed to the truth
still others who have no regard for the truth
and a distressing number who hate the truth.

But there’s another level, isn’t there?

It’s one thing to claim to love the truth
another thing entirely to walk in it –

which is who I’m determined to be.

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 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 from the depths of your soul:

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face…”
(Galatians 2:11)

Am I seeing this right, Jesus?

The Apostle Paul in a face-to-face confrontation with the Apostle Peter?

That’s not supposed to happen, is it? – for several reasons:

Along with James and John, Peter was one of Jesus’ inner circle.
He was a follower of Jesus long before Paul.
Christians are supposed to be loving and get along!

But this was love, wasn’t it?

Love of the truth.

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.
