Script for today: PDCP- 09/30/14- “First Things First, Priorities”
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV)
First and foremost, let’s get our priorities in line with God’s priorities. He insists, by strongly admonishing us, with persuasive urging, that we should devote ourselves to being aware of people’s needs, by drafting petitions with specific names and requests on them, in order to offer up intelligent prayers, and humble supplications, on their behalf; being willing to intercede, standing in the gap before The Lord, asking Him to intervene and act, in accordance to their needs and to their greatest benefit, always giving thanks at all times and on all occasions, with a heart of gratitude and blessing. We have been given this responsibility, by The Lord Himself, to make sure that this is happening, on a regular basis, for all people everywhere, especially for those who are in positions of leadership and all those who have been given authority, with influence and power, to make decisions that affect our daily lives. We are commanded to do this, so that we may live our lives in a serene, peaceful and tranquil state of being, having the opportunity afforded us to live a godly, virtuous, devoutly righteous life, that will bring honor to God. (1 Timothy 2:1-2 PDCP)

Script for today: PDCP- 09/29/14- “When Called, I, The Lord, Will Answer”
“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ (Jeremiah 33:2-3 NIV)
Listen, paying close attention to the spoken word of The Sovereign Almighty God, The Creator of the heavens and the earth, The One who shaped and established it by forming it, as a master potter, with His own hands, giving life to everything with the breath of His spoken Word. He, The One that has a name above every other name, His name is The Lord and this is His personal invitation to everyone: ‘Cry out to Me, look to Me, seek My face, I, The Lord, will hear your cry for help and will not only answer you, but give you great insight and understanding into things that you haven’t any knowledge or awareness of; secret, mysterious, hidden things that have yet to be explored or discovered.’ (Jeremiah 33:2-3 PDCP)

Script for today: “All Praise, Thanks And Worship To The King Eternal”
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100:4-5 NIV)
No one is allowed to enter into the presence of The Lord God Almighty except by and through the gate (the door) which He has provided to all humanity, namely, His Son, Jesus Christ; therefore, when one enters through His gate, it should be with a heart full of thanksgiving and gratitude. Once one is inside, in the midst of God’s Kingdom, there in The courts of The King, exuberant, boisterous and outrageous praise and worship should be offered up to Him, with many expressions of thanks declared, along with multiple proclamations of praise unto The Name that is above every other name. For The Lord God Almighty is full of gracious benevolence and His unfailing, as well as, undying love for us endures beyond every generation, faithfully, forever and ever, without end; (Psalm 100:4-5 PDCP)

Script for today: PDCP- 09/27/14- “God’s Spirit Lives Inside Us”
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV)
Are you still yet, unaware of the miraculous transformation that has occurred inside your body, that of you becoming the very dwelling place of The Spirit of The Most High, The Lord God Almighty, from Whom you have obtained this marvelous miracle of His presence residing inside of you? Therefore, you are no longer on your own, hopelessly lost, destitute and without a promising future, but you have been purchased, at a great cost to Father God Himself; for He has redeemed you, to become His very own, by and through the sacrifice of The Lamb of God, His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ. Now, since this is the case, (reality) the more prudent way, with great benefits, is to always choose to give due reverence and proper respect, to The Lord God Almighty, by honoring Him in your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 PDCP)

Script for today: PDCP- 09/26/14- “Pure Love Is, Pure Love Is Not”
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIV)
There is nothing in this world that is more patient; having the greatest capacity for being long-suffering, persistent, persevering, enduring hardship, pain, forbearing and forgiving, at all times, than God’s pure love. There is not another love that is more propitious, obliging, considerate, indulgent, showing benevolent kindness at every turn to everyone. Pure love never allows feelings of discontent, resentfulness or covetousness, to turn into jealous envy, influencing love’s thoughts and behavior towards others. Pure love refuses to ever exaggerate, by boasting about itself in a braggadocios manner, nor will it ever exhibit a haughty spirit of vain pride. Pure love does not treat others with disdain, by shamefully and disgracefully dishonoring them in an inappropriate or rude way. Pure love does not pursue self-gratification, nor does it selfishly only look after its own interests, to the exclusion of all others. Pure love is not cantankerous or irritable, having a “short fuse” that quickly explodes into fits of malicious anger. And, pure love never ever, without exception, equivocation, mitigating circumstances or justification, shall ever keep track, for any reason, of a record of wrongs done. (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 PDCP)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV)
Consequently, my beloved brothers and sisters, who are all members in good standing, of The Company of The Redeemed, as a direct result of our guaranteed success of ultimate victory being granted to us through Jesus Christ The Lord; Stand Firm and upright in your gloriously attained position, not yielding. Stay Fixed, without wavering, being impervious to any and all things that may attempt to get you to alter, change or leave your post. Serve Fully, giving yourselves with complete abandonment, holding nothing back, or in reserve, (“burn the plough”) ever being constantly consistent and entirely tireless, in your endeavor and undertaking, to fulfill the divine assignment and purpose of The Lord, because you are well aware that your struggle and diligent effort, in doing The Lord’s work, is not done in futility, but will, for you, as well as others, Achieve Success, for now and throughout all eternity.

Script for today: PDCP- 09/24/14- “Recognizing God’s Incredible Workmanship”
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14 NIV)
From Your unmatched imagination, You, The Sovereign Almighty God, Who is the creator of the heavens and the earth and everything therein, meticulously designed, by weaving together the most delicate parts of my innermost being inside my mother’s womb. I honor and give You, Almighty God, my highest praise, because You, Oh Lord, are to be revered and worshiped above everything, for I am full of awe, being absolutely astonished at how amazing and marvelously I am created; Your workmanship is spectacularly glorious and beyond compare, I am fully aware, in every part of my incredible being, of the magnificence of who You are and what You have done.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (Colossians 3:12 NIV)
Therefore, since you’ve been divinely selected, because of The Lord God Almighty being favorably inclined towards you, to be one of His very own devout and cherished members, of The Company of The Redeemed, you must make sure you are always clad appropriately with these vitally important attributes, wearing them at all times, for all to see and personally experience; with regard to all of these, don’t be a “put on,” but put on compassion, by being moved to action, with sympathy, towards others plight, to do something that will offer the help needed, in order to alleviate their condition, put on kindness, exhibiting kind benevolent favor, that’s thoughtful, helpful and cordial, put on humility, not elevating yourself, by thinking you are superior or above others, put on gentleness, displaying a meek, mild and calm disposition and manner towards others, and finally, put on patience, showing great restraint and self-control, by learning not to be reactionary, but responsive, not hot headed, but even tempered, persistent, long suffering and without complaint.

Script for today: PDCP- 09/22/14- “Listen And Live, Accept And Win”
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (Proverbs 19:20-21 NIV)
Pay close attention, giving it your highest priority, with resolute regard, to the wise counsel and admonitions of The Lord, willingly accept and endure, agreeing completely, with His purifying chastening of you, as He administers His correction with divine instruction; so that, when the final curtain falls, at the cessation of time, you shall be included in the number of those who are known to be a part of the insightful, discerning and wise. There are a wealth, a veritable cornucopia of dreams, desires, schemes, with deliberate and thoughtful plans, in the heart of every individual child, woman or man, but it is always going to be The Lord God Almighty’s intentional divine ideal purpose and aim, that will triumph, conquer and ultimately win. (Proverbs 19:20-21 PDCP)
Script for today: PDCP- 09/21/14- “He, The Lord, Sings Songs Of Joy Over Us”
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17 NIV)
The Lord God Almighty, your God, is mighty in battle, for there is none that can stand against Him. He has no peers, as a Mighty Warrior, for He is the overwhelming Victor in every skirmish, fight or combat encounter. He is ever present, close by your side, at all times, on every occasion, in support of you, no matter the situation or circumstance, every moment of every hour of each and every day of your life’s sojourn, He is there to bring release, to save and rescue, and then ultimately to take great delight in redeeming you, as His very own. Because of His great unfailing love for you, He will never again mention or bring to His remembrance, by reminding you of your past and the times or occasions where you faltered, failed and flopped, on the contrary, He will celebrate and rejoice with songs of exuberant joy, by singing Heavenly Melodies of joy over you. (Zephaniah 3:17 PDCP)
