May God give you a wonderful Christmas, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But if you do warn the righteous person not to sin and they do not sin, they will surely live because they took warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
(Ezekiel 3:21)

Sometimes I get tired of warning people who don’t want to hear it, Jesus!

I become the bad guy.
It makes them angry.

But ultimately, it’s not about preserving my relationship with them, is it?

On that Day

my relationship with You
is the only one that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led caution:

“Again Abner warned Asahel…”
(2 Samuel 2:22)

The basic problem with warnings, Jesus…

is I never know when it’s my last.

Nothing happened to Asahel after Abner’s first warning

so Asahel kept right on chasing him.

Little did he know this warning was it.

When he ignored it, Abner killed him.
Boom. Right then. Right there.

Am I on my last warning in any area, Father?

There’s no way for me to know, is there?

I’d better stop now.

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Before them…the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine.”
(Joel 2:10)

I can hardly imagine an army of locusts so dense, Jesus…

that all the lights of the sky are blocked from sight
covered in a thick, undulating blanket.

No ordinary locust swarm, that.

You sent a plague of supernatural locusts on Your people

a terrifying invasion of epic proportions.

You warned them again and again!

But they ignored You until

it was too late.

Take warning, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But Asahel would not stop…”
(2 Samuel 2:21)

Asahel was racing toward certain death, Jesus.

Abner warned him again and again.

Asahel wouldn’t listen
wouldn’t stop.

So he died.
Totally, his own fault.

You will only warn me so many times, Holy Spirit.

If I don’t stop, the consequences are on me.

Maybe it’s to make better choices.
Maybe it’s to end destructive friendships.
Maybe it’s to stop saying something.
Maybe it’s to change my behavior.

Help me listen!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there?”
(Amos 3:5)

No, Jesus.

Birds aren’t that stupid.

But we Your people sometimes are.

Even though You’ve warned us repeatedly of the dangers of sin
we keep swooping down into Satan’s traps.

Your Word is full of advice, cautions, horrific accounts

but it’s as though we ignore all the signs:

STOP!
DANGER!
BRIDGE OUT!

because we think we know better than do You.

Pray this Lazaroo in repentant devotion:

“Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning…”
(Mark 1:43)

You’ve given me a few of those, Jesus.

Sometimes through the events of my life.
Sometimes through one of Your people.
Most often directly through Your Word.

The thing is…

I haven’t always heeded them!

O God!
Why?

I know who You are.
I know You love me beyond measure.

I have no excuse.

All I have is a determination to turn it around

while I can.
