SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/26- “The Great I AM—Is Always There!” (Isaiah 41:10)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/26- “The Great I AM—Is Always There!” (Isaiah 41:10)
Premise Question: Knowing and fully accepting the premise that Papa God is completely for us, who are members in right standing, of The Company of The Redeemed, and that He is always on our side fighting all of our battles…who is it that could ever really be successful in coming or going against us—His precious and dearly beloved own children?
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NLT)
So, do not, under any circumstance you face, or situation you are going through, allow yourself to be overwhelmed, with distressing, worrisome, anxious thoughts, for I AM, The Great I AM, The Sovereign One True Almighty Papa God, Creator of Heaven and earth, will always be right there with you, close by your side. Do not, at any time or upon any occasion, give yourself over to being disheartened, lacking courage, wanting to just give up, but stay bold and courageous, for I AM, is your Papa God. I AM, will never leave you in a weakened state, without help, hope or provision, for I AM, will strengthen you—making you strong enough to face whatever is challenging you in the moment; therefore, I AM, will always help you. I AM, shall forever support and defend you against any and all opposition; keeping you from sinking into the depths of despair and eternal death. I AM, will accomplish this, with My incomparable, strong and victorious, filled with all honor and might, Glorious and Powerful, Righteous Right Hand. (Isaiah 41:10 PDCP)
Bottom Line: If Papa God is for us, who or what can be against us? Nothing and no one! Therefore, no one and nothing will ever be successful in keeping Papa God’s will and purpose for our lives from coming to fruition. Therefore, there is never going to be a valid time or reason why we should ever be fearful, frightened, distraught, timid or afraid!
Papa God has promised that He will never leave or forsake us! Whatever He says He will do, He most definitely will do, because He is ever faithful, and when He does it, He will do it thoroughly, completely and that, with excellence, honor and glory.
When The LORD tells us to not even allow our hearts to ever be troubled or to be dismayed, we can take Him at His Word! When He tells us that in this life, this world, we are going to experience trouble, trials, temptations, attacks, ridicule, suffering, persecution, but, we are to be full of joy and cheer, and to not be discouraged because of any of it, as He has overcome this world and everything that could ever happen to us in this life; we are to rejoice and be glad, for He has promised to give us His strength, His peace, and His comfort, encouragement, refreshing, restoration and renewal!
Our’s is the victory forever and always, because The Most High, Papa God, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, is our LORD and Savior—The Great I AM, who is always there for us! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 06/26- “Hold On Tight!” (Hebrews 10:23)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 06/26- “Hold On Tight!” (Hebrews 10:23)
Premise Question: What is our blessed hope and the great promise that we, as members of The Company of The Redeemed, are urgently, and with great insistence, compelled to grasp on to tightly and to not ever consider letting go of, no matter what may come our way?
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. (Hebrews 10:23 NLT)
Grasp, with a firm tight grip, never letting go of or deviating one iota from your declared profession of allegiance to the blessed, fully assured expectation of the complete realization of our hopeful promise; because, The One True Sovereign All Powerful and Most Mighty Papa God, who is reliable and worthy of our entire trust, is The One who has made this hopeful promise to us and it is He, who will do due diligence to make sure it performs and satisfies completely all that it’s promised and expected to do. (Hebrews 10:23 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Our Blessed Hope is also our Redeemer, Savior, Healer, Baptizer, Comforter, our Helper, Succor, Provider, Shepherd, Pastor, Teacher, Brother and Friend.
ForHe is The Prince of Peace, The King of Kings, The LORD of Lords and The Great I Am—who was and is and is to come!
He has rescued and set us all free from the darkness, death, despair and sin that plagues us and has brought us into the radiance of His splendid light, right into His glorious presence!
The LORD fills us with a hope and expectation that gives us full assurance, with an absolute certitude, that we shall not ever be disappointed.
He is ever Faithful and True!
He was before the beginning and will be there long after the end!
We are therefore, urgently compelled, as He is quite insistent, that we are to hold on tight and to never let go of the hope that we have. Nor are we to ever waffle, waver, vacillate or fluctuate, no matter what may come our way or what we may have to face or endure.
But we are to be ever vigilant in continuing to grasp tightly to the promise that He’s left us with, which is, that one day, we will be spending all of eternity in the very presence of His Holiness and His Glorious Light! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 05/15- “Papa God’s Great Love For His Most Beloved Creation, Humankind!” (John 3:16)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 05/15- “Papa God’s Great Love For His Most Beloved Creation, Humankind!” (John 3:16)
Premise Question: What should our immediate response be to Papa God’s great overture of love towards us, what actions should follow our response and how should we then comport our daily lives?
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NLT)
For Papa God, the Supreme Ruler—The Creator of Heaven and Earth and everything else created therein, had, and still does have, a profound and great propitious love, a benevolent affection, for all of humankind, His most beloved creation. He voluntarily provided, by furnishing the perfect, efficacious sacrifice, His exclusive, one of a kind Son, who was and is and is to come; who being The Living Word, from before the beginning, became flesh, in order to dwell among us, so that, whoever places their complete faith and trust, their full confidence, in Papa God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who is The Savior/Messiah of the world, shall not ever be destroyed, as they shall never cease to exist or die a spiritual death, but will experience an everlasting, perpetual, ceaseless, without end, eternal life of everlasting joy and tranquil peace! (John 3:16 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Our response to Papa God’s great overture of love towards us should be to immediately believe in and accept His gracious and most merciful provision of an absolutely necessary Redeemer, His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, as our personal LORD and Savior.
And then, we should, with a heart full of thanksgiving, appreciation and gratitude for His love, mercy and gracious favor and for all that He’s done for us, and will yet do for us, in providing us a new life of eternal joy and peace, along with a sure escape from certain eternal death, punishment and eternal separation from the mighty and magnificently glorious presence of The LORD.
Furthermore, our quick and deliberate actions should be to prepare ourselves and others adequately, in order to send them and to go ourselves, armed with the ability to share, Papa God’s clear and concise message of great joy and good news, with everyone everywhere.
Finally, the daily comportment of our lives should be lived in such a way, that it will bring glory and honor to our LORD, by obeying His Word, desiring and then doing His will, and then living our lives as an offering of spiritual worship and praise unto The King Eternal, The Most High, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty—Jesus Christ The LORD! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/26- “Wisdom That Makes Us Sure!” (James 1:5-6)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/26- “Wisdom That Makes Us Sure!” (James 1:5-6)
Premise Question: “What can bring us complete assurance, whereby, we are able to absolutely depend upon, with utter reliance, and that will work every time, for everything and anything we may encounter or go through in this life, and will also enable us to experience, enjoy and have a successful and flourishing life, other than, the supreme wisdom of The Almighty, Papa God?
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. (James 1:5-6 NLT)
When wisdom is required, for anything pertaining to this life, choose to always inquire of Papa God first, for looking to someone or something else is quite deficient and not at all prudent. Do this, by petitioning, through prayer, our beneficently gracious Papa God, for He is ever ready to lavish upon you His bountiful benevolence. When you approach Papa God though, with your request, do not be fearful of a reprimand or His disapproval, for He will not rebuff you, because of your inquiry. But do understand this, that when you do ask Him for anything, it is of the greatest importance and absolutely imperative, that you are relying only upon your faith in Him, to the exclusion of all others and everything else. One more thing, don’t waffle with indecision, swaying back and forth between a juxtaposition, because an individual who tries to straddle the fence, will always be trying to balance and manage the situation, rather than being on one side or the other, with trueheartedness, and thus, will always be subject to being weakened, anxious and rattled, thrown and hurled about, by the forces and influences of this life, without ever having any peace or rest. (James 1:5-6 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Answer…It is only with Papa God’s Supreme Wisdom alone, operating in our lives, on a daily and consistent basis, that we can be absolutely sure, with certitude and full assurance, that as we entirely depend and utterly rely upon His Supreme Wisdom for living, that we will then, thoroughly enjoy and experience fully, a flourishing, successful and complete life; for there is no one nor nothing else, in this life, that will be as effective, enjoyable or ever suffice. So, ASK Papa God today for His Supreme Wisdom, and then believe, with your whole heart, that He will grant your request, and you’ll have it! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/24-“We Have The Best And The Greatest Advocate Of All Time!” (1 John 2:1-2)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/24-“We Have The Best And The Greatest Advocate Of All Time!” (1 John 2:1-2)
Premise Question: Is there a better option available to us, as humankind, than deciding to choose the best and the greatest Advocate of all time, with the absolutely greatest results and percentage of efficacy, in arguing, pleading, defending and winning cases, to personally represent us before The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, The Supreme Judge, than Jesus Christ, our atoning and redeeming LORD and Savior?
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:1-2 NIV)
To my greatly loved and most precious spiritual progeny; I’m addressing the issue of sin here, by expressing this to you in written form, so that you will choose to refrain from sinning any longer. Although, if any of you succumbs to temptation and in so doing, end up sinning once again, please understand and accept, that we do have the best and greatest Advocate, who will plead our case, on our behalf, before The Supreme Judge, Papa God; His Name is Jesus Christ, The Most Holy One, who is blameless, guiltless and without sin. It was He, that surrendered His life, as the ultimate sacrificial offering for all of our sin, making amends and reparations, by absolving us, from the righteous requirements of Papa God’s Holy Law, but not only us, but the entirety of humankind as well, providing us and them with an alternative to certain death, and thus, was obedient, even unto death, so that we, all of humankind could escape from that certain death, and live forever in His, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty’s, Papa God’s eternal presence. (1 John 2:1-2 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Nope, there isn’t! For there is not only not a better option available to us, in order for us to escape from a most certain eternal death, because of our sin, but there is no other option known to humankind, whereby, one can be spared and saved from the righteous requirements and judgements of a Holy God! There’s only one way and one name that’s going to be be efficacious. The one way is by calling upon The Name of The LORD, through confession, for salvation! The one Name we confess, is Jesus Christ, as our LORD and Savior, The Redeemer of all of humankind! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/13- “Do It With Your Whole Heart!” (Jeremiah29:13)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/13- “Do It With Your Whole Heart!” (Jeremiah 29:13)
Premise Question: Is there a more important daily activity, for us to involve ourselves in deliberately doing, than to seek The LORD GOD Almighty, Papa God, faithfully and fervently, with our whole heart?
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13 NIV)
When you choose to ardently look for Me, by fervently and faithfully seeking Me, The LORD GOD Almighty, with your whole heart, by making it the most important daily activity you do in this life, you will absolutely, most assuredly find Me. (Jeremiah 29:13 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Everything in our life ought to flow out of this most important, being absolutely necessary and vital for success, life activity. Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/10- “Give Give Give, And Then, With A Good Measure, Give Some More!” (Luke 6:38)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/10- “Give Give Give, And Then, With A Good Measure, Give Some More!” (Luke 6:38)
Premise Question: Why is the size of the measure, that we use in giving to Papa God and others, so significantly vital and in actuality, really does matter?
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38 NIV)
“I want you to understand and really get this now! When you give, you activate the law of reciprocity, with the absolute sure result being, that you will receive back, an unbelievable return, in a remarkable good measure, that when compared to what is given, it pales in comparison, for it will fill you up beyond what you could imagine or think, jamming you so full, that you bust out at the seams and overflow with an abundance, which pours out of you and flows into the lives of others; also filling them up to overflowing, as well! Remember, the key to giving is simple. It is; whatever size measure you decide to use in your giving to Papa God and others, the same measure will be reciprocated and used for measuring back to you!” (Luke 6:38 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Obviously, this is a no brainer! Ask yourself this question. Do you want The LORD GOD Almighty, who is full of grace and favor, as well as, having every good and perfect gift, and who also desires greatly to lavish His love, along with His many other gifts, upon you, as a member in good standing of The Company of The Redeemed, to use a thimble, as the size of His measure, when pouring out His favorable expressions of giving into your life, or would you rather for Him to use a huge backhoe, with a ginormous bucket, as the size of the measure He uses to bless you? I’m pretty confident, that the majority of us would prefer the ginormous bucket of the backhoe, rather than the tiny sewing thimble! Therefore, it would behove us to take note of His exhortation and follow, with great diligence, the example He’s left us with. We can do this, by utilizing the same divine principle that He, our loving and most gracious Papa God, uses when determining the size of the measure, for showering His favor, blessings and wonderful gifts upon each one of us, and therefore, should then, do likewise, when it comes to selecting the size of the measure that we choose to use, when showering, honoring and heaping our gifts of good deeds and service upon The LORD and upon others! May The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty bless and increase you in your ability, desire and capacity to give back to Him, but also increase you in what you’re able and desire to give to others, while serving Him, in your service of others! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/08- “A Light Shining Bright, In A World Filled With Blight, We Are That Light, That Better Burn Right, With Papa God’s Holy Might, Oh What A Sight!” (Matthew 5:14)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/08- “A Light Shining Bright, In A World Filled With Blight, We Are That Light, That Better Burn Right, With Papa God’s Holy Might, Oh What A Sight!” (Matthew 5:14)
Premise Question: Can others see the light that’s inside us, gleaming and shining brightly outside us, within and without us, drawing others to that glorious hilltop city, of The Most High?
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 NLT)
We, all members in right standing, of The Company of The Redeemed, are the resplendent and most glorious, Holy blazing light, Papa God’s light, in this world! And just like a city, perched upon a high hill, cannot be hidden from the sight of many, so should our light, never be hidden, but is to be seen, at all times, on all occasions, in every situation and in all circumstances, by everyone everywhere, in this world! (Matthew 5:14 PDCP)
Bottom Line: As the light of a hilltop city cannot be hidden and will surely be seen, by all, even from a long long way off, drawing many into its light, both near and from afar; so should we, the bearer of Papa God’s Holy Light, shine bright in this world, being clearly seen, by everyone everywhere, drawing them all out of a horrible blight, into His city of light, The Holy City of The Most High! Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/06- “What He Said He Would Do, He Did!What He Did, Was Done For All!” (28:5-6)
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 ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 01/06- “What He Said He Would Do, He Did! What He Did, Was Done For All!” (Matthew 28:5-6)
Premise Question: What are we, now, The Company of The Redeemed, supposed to be doing today, with the angelic message that was personally spoken and delivered to the two women, Mary and Mary, who had come to stand vigil, but instead, found the empty tomb?
Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. (Matthew 28:5-6 NLT)
The angel, sitting atop the stone that he had just rolled rolled away from the entrance of the tomb, spoke to the two women, Mary and Mary, who had come to stand vigil, at the tomb of Jesus, “be assured and at peace, for there’s not any reason for you to be frightened or afraid, as I am aware of why you are here and who you are seeking—Jesus, the one who was nailed to the cross, but behold, He is no longer here! He is risen from the dead, just as He said! For He is victorious, as He has overcome death, hell and the grave, in the exact manner and way He declared it would come to pass! Come now and see for yourselves, with your own eyes, the place where they laid His body. He is no longer here!”(Matthew 25:5-6 PDCP)
Bottom Line: All of humankind, whether they are fully aware of it or not, are still today, looking for “The One” who can bring freedom from fear, the assurance of peace, the provision of comfort and real hope, into their everyday lives! We, The Company of The Redeemed, have been urgently tasked, as well as empowered, by The Holy Spirit, to quickly share this life giving and life sustaining message of Hope, The Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ, personally, with everyone, everywhere! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 12/09/15- “Set Yourselves Free—From All Your Devris!” (2 Corinthians 7:1)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 12/09/15- “Set Yourself Free—From All Your Debris!” (2 Corinthians 7:1)
Premise Question: How do we, or can we, set ourselves free, and then, stay perpetually free, to continually live free, experiencing complete release and total deliverance, from our sin and the darkness of this world, in order to receive the fullness and gracious gift of salvation and freedom of The LORD?
“Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1 NLT)
Ergo, in view of and as a direct consequence of Almighty Papa God’s succinct and declarative assurances, that He’s afforded each one of us, through His great and precious promises, which we presently have total access to and are now in full possession of, dearly beloved fellow members of The Company of The Redeemed; it is therefore, incumbent upon each one of us, to break free, by purging and absolving ourselves from anything and everything that may tend to influence or distract us in an unsuitable manner, or that may even be possibly defiling, debasing or causing debauchery to become a profane stain within and without our body, soul and spirit. We should always make it our life’s aim to conforming absolutely to the description, the exact definition, of the ideal representation of impeccable holiness, Jesus Christ. We can do this, by becoming a personal temple of worship, whereby, our individual life is lived in reverential awe and holy honor exclusively for and unto The LORD GOD Almighty. (2 Corinthians 7:1 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We set ourselves free by accepting Papa God’s gracious and most merciful and wonderful gift of salvation and then, continue to be free by being obedient and completely compliant to His Word and will for our lives! For it is because of Papa God’s great and precious promises, that He has given to us, to assure us; mainly that He would be our Loving Papa God, living, breathing and walking among us, filling us with His joy and peace, comforting us, strengthening us, providing for our needs and ultimately, keeping us eternally safe, and, that we would be His very own, greatly beloved children, that it therefore, behoves each one of us to, “keep our hearts and lives free of all debris, by flushing the flesh and staying refreshed!” Thus, we are guaranteed to fully experience life and His salvation Blessings…
