Pray this Lazaroo with overflowing joy:

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.”
(Acts 3:16)

What a powerful witness, Jesus!

Thank You for instantly healing that man –
lame from birth!

Of course, the day came when he died.

No matter how many miracles You perform on earth
they’re temporary…except for one:

Your gift to all who believe
of eternal life.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
(Revelation 3:14-16)

In the day-to-day struggle, Jesus

it’s so easy to lose my passion.

No, I don’t forsake You. I never stop believing. My love doesn’t grow cold.

But if it’s not burning hot
that has to change.

Now.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“…she must be quiet.”
(1 Timothy 2:12)

Now come the questions, Jesus:

Should a woman always be quiet?

What about when she can speak up and save someone’s life?
What about when she needs to tell somebody about You?
What about when her baby needs to hear a lullaby?
What about when someone needs encouragement?
What about when sin rears its ugly head?

In these and countless other times You command her
to use the mouth, lips, tongue and vocal cords

You’ve given her!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.”
(Acts 2:32-33)

That’s it in a nutshell, Jesus:

exactly what’s going on before my very eyes.

I may not be an eyewitness to Your resurrection

but I am most definitely an eyewitness

to what Your Spirit is doing in my life!

Stand strong! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.”
(1 John 2:18)

Truer words were never spoken, Jesus.

There are a lot of anti-You people running around these days
tearing up jack.

They’ve chosen the wrong side.
They prefer their way to Yours –

primarily because they have no idea
what Your way is all about.

But the Day is coming

when they will find out.

Help me never stop telling them about You!

Pray this Lazaroo in overcoming faith:

“Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death…”
(Revelation 2:13)

Oh, Jesus.

My first thought is, “Oh, no! Poor Antipas!”

But then I realize his death took him straight to heaven!

I can feel sorry for his friends and loved ones
but not for him.

My second thought is, “Oh, no! WHY Antipas?”

I mean, You Yourself said he was your “faithful witness.”

But then I envision the heavenly welcome he received

as Your faithful martyr.

Wow.

Pray this Lazaroo in courageous wisdom:

“…their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

That’s a sure sign of demonic activity, isn’t it, Jesus?

When somebody actively tries to stop me from telling people about You

I need to rebuke Satan and redouble my efforts to share the gospel!

Of course, if they’re not trying to stop me from witnessing

but merely coaching me to be wiser in how I approach others

maybe I need to listen! 😉

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions…”
(Colossians 1:24)

This has to be one of the most baffling statements Paul ever made, Jesus.

You paid it all!

No matter how much I suffer for You

Your horrific sacrifice on the cross
stands as payment in full for my salvation.

No one else could do it.
Nothing else is required.

But Paul was saying there’s a whole lot of sacrificing that must be done

so others will know.

Pray this Lazaroo with big picture perspective:

“…I must leave them to the one who comes after me.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

Important reminder, Jesus.

All the stuff I’ve accumulated
will get left behind the moment I draw my last breath.

Maybe I should love things less

and love You more.

Maybe I should invest far greater time, energy and resources

in the lives of the people who inhabit this planet with me
and with whom I will spend eternity

if I make sure they hear about You.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing passion:

“This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven.”
(Colossians 1:23)

This is the gospel – the good news – that I’ve heard and believed, Jesus.

It’s the gospel that many of my friends and family have heard.

It’s changed our lives.

But although You have proclaimed it to every creature under heaven

not every creature has been as blessed as I’ve been

to hear it.

It’s my responsibility to tackle that problem.
