I come today to speak to Lazarus, whether it is you individually or a group of you…But Lazarus listen up:
In John 11, Lazarus became sick and his sister’s sent a word to Jesus. But it appeared as if Jesus was taking His time. Lazarus is now dead and Jesus still hasn’t shown up!
Now, Lazarus was stone cold dead for four days when Jesus first visited his tomb. Hope was gone. People were mourning his passing. The brother had been dead so long that he even stunk. It was then that Jesus took control over the situation and called the dead man back to life. Lazarus immediately came out of the tomb in spite of his having been dead, in spite of his odor, in spite of the grave clothes, and in spite of the doubters! (Be mindful that he still had grave clothes on that had to be SPOKEN to and told to let him go)
People had written Lazarus off as being past history, but Jesus quickly made him current events!
We have a generation of teens and young adults out here who are dead — entombed — in their trespasses and sins. Most believe hope is pretty well gone for them.
But nonetheless, Jesus is about to visit the graveyard once again.
And when He does He is going to cry, “Lazarus COME FORTH!” When He cries out, He is going to breathe resurrection power into the lives of a whole generation of young people! As with Lazarus, they are going to come alive in a moment — complete with the trappings of their old life of death still wrapped around them! These people are going to have an intensity and boldness for the Lord that will put many of the older saints to shame!
This call is to the Lazarus Remnant who will answer! You and or this group will be a militant group of young people who are completely sold out and radical for God.
1. THIS REMNANT WILL LOVE THE TRUTH MORE THAN LIFE
2. THIS REMNANT WILL LOVE GOD AND SO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
3. THIS REMNANT WILL BE PASSIONATE IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP
4. THIS REMNANT WILL SEEK HOLINESS AND SANCTIFICATION AT ALL COSTS
5. THE UNITY OF THIS REMNANT WILL BE SO REMARKABLE THAT THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS AND THAT GOD SENT HIM
6. THIS REMNANT WILL DEPEND ON GOD COMPLETELY FOR DIRECTION AND PROVISION
7. THIS REMNANT WILL LOOK TO THE THINGS WHICH ARE UNSEEN
8. THE REMNANT WILL SHUN THE THINGS OF THE WORLD
9. THIS REMNANT WILL BE MOVED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND DENY THE WORKS OF THE FLESH.
10. THE REMNANT WILL DO GREATER WORKS THAN JESUS DID
11. THIS REMNANT WILL WALK IN POWER AND AUTHORITY AND BE VICTORIOUS IN ALL THEY SET OUT TO DO
LAZARUS ………COME FORTH!!!!……IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
P.S. Now check this out Lazarus, in the next chapter (John 12:10), the religious people are even going to hate on you because of your connection with Jesus and your TOTAL deliverance and freedom from the things of death! (Don’t worry Lazarus, God’s got that too!)
