SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 09/18- “He, The LORD, Personally Knows What We Face In Life!” (Hebrews 4:15)
Premise Question: Just how is it possible, that our High Priest, Jesus Christ, can fully understand every one of our weaknesses, our horrible trials and testings, as well as, our most arduous struggles and difficult challenges?
“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 NLT)
For we confidently profess, with full assurance, that we are enormously blessed, by knowing, as a matter of record, that our High Priest, The LORD Jesus Christ, has the unique capacity and ability of understanding all of our frailties, weaknesses and infirmities, that we may encounter in life; because He Himself personally, has vicariously experienced every one of them, all, just for us, by being tested, tried and tempted, in every manner, mode and fashion possibly known to humankind, and still, He was found to be faithful and true, for He did not succumb to the lower nature and yield to sin, for He, who was without sin, did not ever sin. (Hebrews 4:15 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The reason we, every individual member of The Company of The Redeemed, can be absolutely confident, with full assurance, that our High Priest, who is our redeeming LORD and Savior, has the exclusively unique and very important ability, to completely identify and then truly empathize with us, in all of our weaknesses, challenging trials and difficult testings, is because He, Jesus Christ Himself, was tested and certified, to be tried and true, completely authenticated, to be absolutely qualified and approved, in order to become the perfect sacrifice and substitute, to take our place, pay for our sin and become The Redeemer of all of humankind.
Because of His sinless life, as He never once yielded or succumbed to any temptation, trial or trouble that He encountered, or when He was challenged, confronted or affronted, and therefore, having never failed, faltered nor did He ever stumble in any of His ways, for He was perfect, holy and righteous, in every way, He did not ever sin!
That’s why He can totally relate, fully comprehend and understand us, no matter what we may have gone through, may be going through or may yet go through; for there is not anything that any of us can or will ever have to go through, that He, The LORD, hasn’t already experienced and overcome.
So, be encouraged today, with the knowledge and comfort, that The LORD Himself, personally knows and has gone through, anything and everything that we will face in this life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 08/18- “Papa God Himself Gave A Sign!” (Isaiah 7:14)
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.

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 08/18- “Papa God Himself Gave A Sign!” (Isaiah 7:14)
Premise Question: What miraculous implication and great significance does the name Immanuel have attached to it, why is it so significant, and for what relevant reason and specific purpose was it given?
“All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).” (Isaiah 7:14 NLT)
As a direct consequence of you, oh king Ahaz, trying the patience of The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, yet being afraid to trust and test The LORD, and that you are also full of false humility, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty Himself will affix His personal signature to a specific divine sign, which will contain the Good News message of hope, for all of humankind, of redemptive salvation for all people everywhere, thus, obligating Himself to fulfill it in this most spectacular and miraculous way: A young, undefiled, pure woman, having not yet been with any man, will become pregnant, without ever having known a man, and she shall bring forth, by giving birth to, The Divine Immaculate Son of The Almighty God, and she will call Him by this Name, Immanuel, which means, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty is living and dwelling among us, as one of us. (Isaiah 7:14 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The miraculous implication, with great significance attached, that the name Immanuel carries with it, is that its’s truly, that the veritable expressions of both Papa God and His unique and beloved creation—humankind, have come together in the quintessential, being a completely harmonious and perfect union, for all to see, in every way. This is extremely significant because of the two different natures coming together as one: The LORD’S divine nature being enjoined with the human nature, coming to live and dwell together in one human form—Jesus Christ, in the very midst of all of humankind, to act as the mediator between Papa God, His Father, and humankind, becoming the Atonement, by taking our place in death, so that we could experience new life.
Look! Here it is! Check it out and verify it for yourself! The relevant reason and specific purpose this had to happen in this way, was because of Papa God’s great love for His beloved creation, in order that the breach that had been created, as a result of humankind’s sin, could be repaired, and the relationship and right standing with a Holy Papa God could be returned to its former and original condition and divine state.
Papa God Himself gave a sign, a virgin conceived without ever having been with a man, and from that, came Immanuel, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty, our God, our LORD and our personal Savior, living and dwelling among us, as one of us! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 07/08- “Authentic Love—Put On Display!” (1 John 4:10)

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 07/08- “Authentic Love—Put On Display!”
(1 John 4:10)
Premise Question: For all those who are members of The Company of The Redeemed, and who want to remain as members in good standing, what certainly ought to be our most authentic and highly appropriate response to Papa God’s display of authentic real love put on display, for all to see, for us and the rest of humankind?
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10 NLT)
Herein lies the truest example of the ultimate expression of what real authentic love is and looks like—not what our love for Papa God is or looks like, but what The One True Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty’s love is and looks like for us, His beloved children. This authentic love was put on full display for us, The Company of The Redeemed, for all to see, when He dispatched His One and only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth, to appease, by making full amends and satisfying completely all of the righteous requirements of Papa God’s Holy and Divine Law, for our sin. He, Jesus, accomplished this, when He willingly laid down His life, as an offering, upon the cross, taking our place, as our substitute, in order to remove and take away the penalty of sin—our death sentence, by making us clean and pure, from all of our sinful transgressions, practices and behaviors. (1 John 4:10 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We, all members of The Company of The Redeemed, should be absolutely aware, being fully cognizant, of what real authentic love is, because of what Papa God did for of all of us, by sending His One and only Son, Jesus Christ, as the perfect remedy and sacrifice, to be offered upon the cross, in our stead, taking our place, in order to completely remove, making us clean and pure, by taking away all of our iniquity and sinful transgressions and also nullifying the penalty of sin, but not only ours, The Redeemed, but all of humankind’s.
It is therefore, because of what The LORD has done and put on display for all to see, that we all should respond, holding nothing back, with heartfelt praise, worship, adoration and rejoicing, along with great honor, thanksgiving and gratitude, for all that He has accomplished for each and everyone of us, as well as, all of humankind.
Furthermore, our response should include one that clearly resembles and mirrors what The LORD has done for us, in that, as He willingly laid His life down for us, we also ought to love each other and should be willing to lay our lives down for each other, with that same love, being put on display, for all to see, showing everyone that our love and commitment to each other and those that are still in the world, truly emulates Papa God’s love and commitment for the world and each one of us, who are already members of The Company of The Redeemed!

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 04/19- “His Heartache And Heartbreak Made It Possible For Your Heart To Be Made Whole!” (Isaiah 53:3)
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: 04/19- “His Heartache And Heartbreak Made It Possible For Your Heart To Be Made Whole!” (Isaiah 53:3)
Premise Question: How was The LORD able to endure, while personally experiencing, without any buffer, all the abject vexation, the distressing scorn and acrimony, filled with hateful vitriol, along with every kind of sickness and affliction, which caused suffering beyond belief, with all the resulting pain and agony, as well as, being completely forsaken and jilted, not only by the people He came to help, but by the one who sent Him, His Father, Papa God?
He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. (Isaiah 53:3 NLT)
The Anointed One was shunned, scorned and hated—looked upon as being utterly abhorrent in the eyes of the people He came to help. He was a man of abject vexation, full of pain and agony, and who was forsaken and jilted by the very people He came to rescue and heal. Because of this, He was all too familiar with the worst kind of suffering, distress and devastating sorrow. All of us turned away from Him, abandoning Him, to be all alone, in the hour and moment of His darkest and most difficult challenge and ordeal. During that most critical time, for all of humankind, He was completely ignored by us, and was considered as less than nothing, as none of the people He came to redeem showed any care or concern for Him or His plight. (Isaiah 53:3 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The Anointed One, Jesus Christ, The Messiah, was able to endure and thereby, accomplish what He did, because of His love for and His complete trust in His Father, Papa God—His love for His friends—His disciples—His love for Papa God’s beloved creation, the unredeemed children, and also because of His desire to do the will of His Father, by obeying Him. And this then, would fulfill His sincere desire to be pleasing to His Father. The LORD also was able to endure, because He chose to take hold of and then refused to ever let go of the promise His Father gave Him. That being, by finishing what He was sent to accomplish, He would make it possible for all of humankind to be rescued; providing them with a way to escape eternal death and damnation. It was this promise, I believe, that gave Him His greatest source of joy. (Hebrews 12:2) And finally, He was able to endure it all, because of the power, presence and influence of The Holy Spirit being present in His life.
Now, due to His endurance, through heartache to heartbreak, we now have been given the opportunity to have our hearts healed, our lives rescued and made whole. So that, we too, can endure, overcome and complete our mission and task given to each one of us, by The LORD, with the same power and ever present help of The Holy Spirit, being allowed to operate fully, in our every day lives, as well. Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 04/08- “Accusation, Condemnation, Reproach—Now There Is None!” (Romans 8:1-2)
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: 04/08- “Accusation, Condemnation, Reproach—Now There Is None!” (Romans 8:1-2)
Premise Question: What does it truly mean, for every member of The Company of The Redeemed, to now, no longer be subject to being severely punished and rightly judged for their own transgressing of the righteous requirements of Papa God’s Holy, being perfectly just, righteous law?
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. (Romans 8:1-2 NLT)
Consequently, as a result of what Papa God accomplished through the sacrificial offering of His Only Son, Jesus Christ, hanging and dying upon a cruel cross; we, who believe, are now put in good standing with Papa God and His Son, The LORD Jesus Christ. For we are now recognized, as full fledged members of The Company of The Redeemed and thereby, have now, been set free from the powerful bands of wickedness of the law of sin, which ultimately leads to eternal death, by Papa God’s all powerful, life-giving Holy Spirit. And, furthermore, are now thus, no longer subject to being condemned, for our own transgressing of Papa God’s righteous law, but can now, live free, by the potent efficacy of the life-giving Holy Spirit, which fills us with the strength, ability and capacity to live a new life, by setting aside completely the righteous required judgement, upon our lives, of a rightly deserved death sentence. (Rom. 8:1-2 PDCP)
Bottom Line: What it truly means, for those of us who believe, is: Jesus took our place, by taking and receiving upon Himself, our own death sentence, so that, we could then experience the ultimate immunity and pardon of being set completely free; thereby, avoiding a just and right sentence of eternal punishment and ultimate death.
He took the total blame and disapproval of Papa God, so that, we could be held blameless and approved by Papa God, as being declared justifiably righteous in His sight, by having The Great Seal of Approval of The Holy Spirit put upon and inside us, within the within, of our innermost being.
Accusation, Condemnation and Reproach—now there is none to be found!
This is therefore now, the only reason why we, all members of The Company of The Redeemed, can instantly enjoy all of the benefits and blessings, to the fullest extent, of our new found freedom and new life in Christ! 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…
