Script for today: PDCP- 12/31/14- “You’re Not Encroaching, When Confidently Approaching, The Throne Of Grace!”
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we should be conducting our lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 NIV)
Armed with the wonderfully liberating knowledge, of who it is that has opened up the door, that now allows us, with courage and full confidence, to gain unfettered access into the throne room and manifest presence of The Sovereign LORD God Almighty; we all, members of The Company of The Redeemed, should now, therefore, fearlessly draw near to the throne of The Almighty, in order to exchange our bungled bankrupted lives, for His benevolent tender mercies, and thereby, experience His unmerited gracious favor, which is the remedy, for not only our greatest need, but all our needs, and is given to us, in a timely manner, on time, every time and for all time. (Hebrews 4:16 PDCP)
Bottom Line: It’s all because of what our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, The Son of The Most High, who is The Savior of humankind, accomplished for us; that we now have access to bravely approach the very throne, of The Almighty and receive the appropriate aid and help, at the right time, every time, in our time of need. Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/30/14- “Humility Is The Way, And Don’t Worry!”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV)
6) You will do well, and, do yourself a huge favor, when approaching The Lord, to come before Him with a humble and contrite spirit; serving and putting The LORD and then others, before and above yourself is the key, and that, without pride or arrogance, but with gentleness, meekness and a respectful submissive attitude. Consequently, by submitting yourself underneath God’s superior ability, skill, power, strength, authority, His unique purpose and specific divine will for your life, in this manner; He will support and undergird you, by lifting you up and placing you in the perfect position, in order to accomplish His unique purpose and divine will, for your life. There is one caveat, though; He will not do this in your time frame, but in His perfect timing, when it is due, on time, and not a moment before or after His appointed time. 7) So, don’t spend any valuable time or resources on expending yourself in worrisome anxious thoughts or activities trying to please others, but leave all of that anxiety with The LORD, and accept the truth that He loves and cares for you much more than anyone else ever could or would even have the capacity or ability to do so. (1 Peter 5:6-7 PDCP)
Bottom Line: In humility, love and serve God first and foremost, with your life, then, love and serve others, as a humble servant of The most high; leave the timing of any and all promotions up to The LORD, and definitely don’t waste any time or resources on being anxious about anything, in your life, because He, The LORD, truly loves and cares for you much more than you could ever imagine or begin to comprehend! Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/28/14- “There’s No Reason To Fear, Our Victory Is Already A Done Deal!”
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 NIV)
So, because I, The Sovereign LORD God Almighty, have personally selected you to be my choice servants, do not ever be frightened of anything or anyone, for there is nothing to be afraid of, as I, The LORD, shall always be with you and will never abandon, leave or forsake you; therefore, don’t ever allow the things that are happening around you to distress, discourage, dismay or terrorize you, for I, The Sovereign LORD God Almighty, am your Protector and Redeemer. I, The LORD God Almighty, will make you strong, with the power of My might, which shall be there, as an ever present help and strong support during difficult times; I, The LORD God Almighty, have taken a firm hold on you, with My righteous right hand and shall never grow weary and then let go or release you from My, already assured, victorious strong grip. (Isaiah 41:10 PDCP)
Bottom Line: There’s really no need to ever be afraid of anything or anyone, in this world. We will encounter trouble, trial, tribulation, tumult, pain, suffering, hurt, disappointment, difficult times, but always remember and don’t ever forget this, He has overcome it all and will always be there with us, to help, to encourage, to strengthen and support us, by empowering us, to also be overcomers. It is because of His great promise, that He will never abandon, leave or forsake us, that our victory is already assured, a done deal! Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP-12/27/14- “Should We Go Or Should We Wait? GO!”
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (Matthew 28:19 NIV)
Therefore, because all authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me, The LORD Jesus Christ; I now command you, all members of The Company of The Redeemed, to not sit idly by, waiting for the world to come to you, but to make haste and quickly go out into the world, with urgency, and raise up authentic followers from every people group, everywhere in the world, training them in righteousness, teaching them The Truth, mentoring and nourishing them to maturity and baptizing them, by immersion, into the great Company of The Redeemed, in the name of The Holy Father and of His Only Son, Jesus Christ, our LORD and Savior and of The Holy Spirit, The One who comforts, guides and empowers you to do this divine work of The Most High. (Matthew 28:19 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Within the message of the Great Commission, you don’t find the concept, “If You Build It, They Will Come,” rather though, what you specifically find, is a resounding urgent command of, “GO!” In some cases, it would seem The Church has either forgotten or completely neglected the “GO” part of the Great Commission, and perhaps has adopted the concept of “If You Build It, They Will Come,” mentality; thereby, waiting patiently for the Nations to come to The Church, rather than, The Church being commanded and compelled, with urgency, to go to the Nations, thus fulfilling the Great Commission! Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/26/14- “Let The Jubilant And Rapturous Celebration Ensue!”
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (Luke 2:20 NIV)
The shepherds, being so overwhelmed with rapturous joy and excitement, after not only hearing, with their own ears, the wonderful Good News, but then, having what they had just heard actually confirmed, with the incredible experience of seeing it with their own eyes, exactly, as it had been described to them, by the angel, even down to the smallest detail; all of this was much more than they could ever try to contain within themselves, so, upon the return to their sheep, everyone they saw along the way, they weren’t able to be reserved or hold back from glorifying and praising The LORD God Almighty and telling them all of the magnificently wondrous, miraculous miracle of glad tidings of great joy, the Good News, to all of humankind, that they had just personally witnessed. (Luke 2:20 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Have you ever been too excited to sleep or eat or unable to sit or stand still for even a moment, because of the overwhelming anticipation and expectation of joy building up inside you and that you are experiencing due to having knowledge of something really good that’s either about to happen or has already happened? What you know and what you are feeling is too wonderful to keep to yourself; you’ve got to tell someone, call someone, see someone, show someone, or everyone about the Good News of what has happened or is about to happen. It may be causing you to dance, laugh or sing uncontrollably with rapturous joy, for you just can’t keep it inside yourself, you are unable to contain it, you can’t help it, you’re going to tell somebody, probably everybody you have opportunity to tell. Perhaps, that’s what was going on with the shepherds, with regards to the news they had seen and heard. We too, have experienced and been given the same Good News, so let’s do the same as the shepherds were compelled and overwhelmed with joy to do! Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/25/14- “Hallelujah, It Really Did Happen!”
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)
For The Immortal Divine Word of God, became mortal, taking upon Himself the human form of flesh and blood, as The only begotten Son of The Sovereign LORD God Almighty’s provision to us, coming to earth to dwell amongst humanity, as a humble servant, in order to carry the weight of the world’s transgressions upon His shoulders, ultimately becoming The Supreme Ruler of everything and everyone. And He will have and be known by, these magnificent names: The Wonderful Counselor, astonishing all of humanity with His awesome wisdom, guidance and great comfort; The Almighty God, for there is none that can be compared to His Omnipotence; The Everlasting Father, because He is eternal, without a beginning and without an end; The Prince of Peace, He, who becomes The King of kings and Lord of lords, establishing a Kingdom of Peace for all of humankind, into infinity and beyond. (Isaiah 9:6 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The prophet Isaiah, who foretold of the birth of The Anointed One, somewhere in the neighborhood of about 700 years before the blessed event occurred, but is now, a historical fact, accepted and believed, by the multiplied multitudes of The Company of The Redeemed, some 2000 plus years beyond the blessed event that occurred on that extraordinarily unique Holy Night, is now to be told, by all members in good standing, of The Company of The Redeemed, to everyone everywhere in the world, this wonderful and glorious message of Good News, which is, “Joy to the world, The LORD has come, let earth receive her King!” Merry Christmas and blessings to all…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/24/14- “The Great And Wonderful Annnouncement Of Good News”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Luke 2:13-14 NIV)
Without warning and out of nowhere, came an unexpected addition to the already heart pounding, adrenalin rushing, gloriously terrifying occasion, that the shepherds were in the midst of experiencing; for now, along with the appearance of the angel of The LORD, came the appearance of an overwhelmingly impressive and quite large, company of the angel armies of The Heavenly Host, praising and worshipping The Sovereign LORD God Almighty and announcing this great and glorious Good News to all of humankind, “All glory and honor to The Most High in the highest Heaven, and peace to all those on earth who are pleasing to Him, for The LORD’S favor and goodwill shall be upon them. (Luke 2:13-14 PDCP)
Bottom Line: As the great company of the angel armies of The LORD made the announcement of The Good News to the shepherds, while they were worshiping and praising The LORD God Almighty, and as the shepherds received the Good News, with great rejoicing, then verified the Good News, by going and seeing for themselves, and then, by quickly spreading the Good News far and wide; so too, should we, The Company of The Redeemed, rejoice greatly, because of the Good News, with worshiping and exuberant praising unto The LORD God Almighty, as we, with determination and diligence, share this Good News far and wide. Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP-12/23/14- “It’s Registration Time, So Make Room In Your Heart!”
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. (Luke 2:6-7 NIV)
On the night of their arrival into Bethlehem, the City of David, for the purpose of registering for the census, they were unable to secure appropriate lodging, as there was not a room or quarters available anywhere in the city to be had. And so, because Mary was very close to the time of her delivery, they were compelled to take what was left; which was a small stall in a stable, but it would suffice, on this night. Sometime during this night, Mary went into labor and thus brought forth into the world her firstborn, a son. She then carefully wrapped him up, tight and secure, in strips of clothing and gently laid him in a animal feeding trough, inside the stall. (Luke 2:6-7 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Registration is now open and upon us all! It’s time for each of us to make room in our hearts and lives for “The Bread of Life,” The Savior of humankind, to come and reside within. After all, the first place He was lain was in a manger, which of course is a feeding trough. Perhaps Papa God was sending a message to everyone everywhere, even then, there in the beginning. Something for all of us to consider during this busy season…Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/22/14- “This Is How And Why Papa God Did It!”
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9 NIV)
In this way and by this manner, Papa God chose to exhibit and put on display, for all of humanity to see, His unfailing love and great concern for humankind: He did this, by sending His One and Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, The Anointed Redeemer and Savior of the world, to live and dwell in the midst of us, in order that each of us could then be presented with the vital opportunity of being able to live ours lives honorably for Him, and that, for all of eternity, without end, in His glorious presence. (1 John 4:9 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We now, ought to display His love through our daily lives, with the attributes of humility, grace, mercy and service, expressed with thankfulness to Him and a heartfelt gratitude towards others. Blessings…

Script for today: PDCP- 12/21/14- “A Word Of Comfort And Assurance Given To Joseph and All Of Humanity”
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21 NIV)
The Angel Gabriel, in speaking to Joseph, on behalf of, as well as, being the mouthpiece of Papa God, tells him that Mary, his betrothed, will bring forth a child of The Most High, The Anointed One, a Son and that he, Joseph, is to confer upon Him the name Jesus. This particular name carries within its title, The Savior of humankind, for it is He, that will rescue humanity from the certain plight of their transgressions, which is, first and foremost, that of being eternally separated from the presence of Their Creator; thereby, causing them to miss out on Papa God’s divine, gracious, loving purpose for their lives. (Matthew 1:21 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Pause for a moment to ponder the incredible amount of confidence and trust that Papa God had in Mary and Joseph…Wow! It’s almost too difficult to grasp or fathom. Now, take another pause and reality check, of the fact that Papa God still today is placing His complete confidence and full assurance in us, by entrusting each one of us to continue to share, with everyone, this great and marvelous message of truth and His great love. Blessings…
