SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 10/28- “Get Right And Stay Right—By Daily Walking And Staying In The Light!” (1 John 1:7)
Premise Question: Beyond being able to live in Papa God’s Holy Light, (even as Papa God is in The Light and in Him there is no darkness) as a result of receiving Papa God’s provision of salvation and a cleansing from all of our sin, and then, having the wonderful opportunity of enjoying great fellowship with others who are also living in Papa God’s Holy Light, what is it then, that we should be doing?
“But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7 NLT)
But, if you really want to be able to see where you’re going (headed) in life, without stumbling around in the dark, you’ll need to make it your daily habitual practice to live and walk in the light of Papa God’s holy presence—His Son, Jesus Christ, as He is the pure essence and only true source of Papa God’s holy light; being the authentic personification and exact representation of His Father—The Only True Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty! This then, allows us to experience true intimacy and close communion, not only with each other, but with The LORD GOD Almighty as well; because it is only the sacrificial blood of Jesus, Papa God’s only begotten Son, that washes us clean, purging and absolving us completely, clearing the way and paying the debt owed, by throughly removing all the shame, all the guilt and all of our transgressions of Papa God’s Holy Divine Righteous Law. (1 John 1:7 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Get right: by receiving and accepting Papa God’s most merciful and gracious provision of cleansing and salvation, through the shed blood of His Only Son, Jesus Christ—The Light of the world!
Stay right: by making it your daily habit and practice, (a way of life) to live and dwell, walk and work, everyday of your life, in Papa God’s Holy Light!
Don’t ever pull away, fade away, stray or walk away, out from under Papa God’s Holy Light, but always pray and continue to stay, deliberately dwelling, devotedly walking and diligently working, by choosing to always daily live in Papa God’s holy light, the presence of His Son—Jesus Christ!
For as Papa God is living in The Light of the world—His Only Son Jesus Christ, so too, is The Light of the world now living in us, who have been called out of darkness, into His glorious Light, to become the changed/transformed children of The Light, in order to shine bright in the darkness, to then draw others out of the darkness into Papa God’s Holy Light!
P-L-U-G (People Living Under God) into the L-I-G-H-T (Living In God’s Holy Tent) by daily living your life in the light and presence of The LORD!
We, The Company of The Redeemed, are now called to be His personal representatives, His ambassadors of hope and of His Holy Light to the world; and therefore, now should live our lives by and through the empowering presence of His Light living inside of us; allowing The Light to shine through us, so that everyone can clearly see Papa God’s Holy Light! Get right and stay right by daily walking, staying and living in The Light! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 06/15- “You Cannot Fool Papa God—So Don’t Act The Fool!” (Galatians 6:7-8)
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: 06/15- “You Cannot Fool Papa God—So Don’t Act The Fool!” (Galatians 6:7-8)
Premise Question: Why would anyone ever believe, and then come to the absurd conclusion, that they could ever be successful in putting something over on Papa God?
Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. (Galatians 6:7-8 NLT)
Anyone who believes that they have the wherewithal to put one over on Papa God, by making a mockery of Him and His just ways, lacks not only common sense, but any sense or understanding of who Papa God truly is, and is therefore, simply deluding themselves! It’s impossible to get away with defying, ridiculing, deriding or having contempt for The LORD GOD Almighty. For whatever presence you decide to participate in and practice, in life, will bear fruit after its kind, in your life. So, expect to be compensated fully, based upon the presence and practice you’ve given yourself over to. If you practice the presence of only pleasing and gratifying yourself, with reckless, indiscreet behavior, by planting your “wild oats,” then your resulting harvest will show that you’ve planted deeds and behaviors, as seeds of destruction, that will ultimately demolish and completely destroy your life—ending in eternal death and damnation. Conversely though, if you practice the presence of yielding yourself to Papa God, by choosing to please The Spirit only, then you shall be fully compensated by The Spirit and shall receive an eternal reward for your righteous planting—even life everlasting. (Galatians 6:7, 8 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Humankind is predisposed, and prone, to being misled, therefore, they can and do exhibit an excessive amount and high degree of hubris; being quite full, perhaps even at times full to the brim and overflowing, with prideful arrogance, insufferable insolence, incredibly self-indulgent and self-aggrandizing. And is therefore, quite susceptible to being unaware that there is even a remote possibility of them ever being deceived or deluded.
This is the very reason why the delusion can be so effective and strong! We are susceptible to falling prey to the enemy of our soul, when we are stubborn and self-willed, relying on our own understanding and insight, rather than the true wisdom of Papa God, our creator.
We fall prey to being delusional when we choose to satisfy and fulfill the evil desires of our sinful nature—our flesh, rather than choosing to deny the flesh and to follow hard after the things of The LORD, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us, in order to be pleasing to Papa God.
We need to ask ourselves: what and who are we listening to, what is influencing our lives, and what are we giving our time, our affections, our selves to each day of our lives? For whatever and whoever it is, it is the presence we are choosing to participate and practice each day, and whatever presence we practice, will bear fruit in our lives!
It’s unavoidable, as it is Papa God’s law of reciprocity, His law of sowing and reaping, the law of return, that each seed that is planted will return a harvest after its kind.
So, let’s choose to have a glorious harvest that comes from pleasing the Spirit, rather than an inglorious harvest that comes from satisfying and pleasing our own sinful nature—our flesh!
Don’t act the fool—for Papa God can’t be fooled! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 06/01- “The Ordinary Becomes The Extraordinary!” (Acts 4:13)
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: 06/01- “The Ordinary Becomes The Extraordinary!” (Acts 4:13)
Premise Question: Just how does the ordinary transform into the extraordinary; the everyday commonplace become the amazing and remarkably uncommon, thus giving way to a surprising rise of producing the exceptional, the astounding and the wonderful?
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. (Acts of the Apostles 4:13 NLT)
What the members of the ruling council of men perceived with their own eyes and understanding dumbfounded and flabbergasted them, for what was standing before them were two undistinguished, quite unexceptional common place, run of the mill, with a woeful lack of education, as well as being somewhat inferior, to them, men, Peter and John, full of bold courage, without timidity or fear, and who overwhelmed the council with their presence; causing them to observe and notice that these men exhibited, with distinction, characteristics of speaking and acting with the same authority and power of The One they had interaction with and had been close companions of, so, therefore, they were no longer just ordinary men, but had become extraordinary, because they had been been with Jesus! (Acts 4:13 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Take note: Just as the members of the ruling council took note of the obvious and undeniable dramatic transformation that had taken place in the disciples lives, even though they had not had any formal education or specialized training and instruction in the Holy Scriptures, but they did have, was that they had just spent the last three plus years with Jesus; so too, should we, who are members of The Company of The Redeemed, take note and accept as factual reality, that it will make a huge difference in our own effectiveness, and how others will perceive and respond to us, based upon how we spend our time, what we spend our time doing and who we spend our time with!
We are only truly renewed by and through Papa God’s Word! We are only truly effective when we are empowered by His Spirit and we are only truly filled with His joy, peace and wisdom, when we invite the very presence of The LORD to take up residence and make His home in our hearts, within the within, dwelling in our innermost being!
So, in order for this transformation to fully come to fruition, in our individual lives, where the ordinary becomes the extraordinary, and our timidity turns into boldness and courage, and the unimpressive becoming the amazingly impressive and it then truly becomes completely obvious and apparent to everyone just how different we are, it will be directly connected and a direct result of spending our time with The LORD in prayer, His Word and in worship.
Therefore, as members of The Company of The Redeemed, we all must and need to accept and understand that there is great significance in how and what we spend our time doing and who we spend our time with!
Remember, whatever presence you practice, will bear fruit in your life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 01/11- “The LORD Is Fully Aware, At All Times, Where You’re Going And What You’re Doing!” (Proverbs 5:21)
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: 01/11- “The LORD Is Fully Aware, At All Times, Where You’re Going And What You’re Doing!” (Proverbs 5:21)
Premise Question: Given the fact that Papa God clearly sees, as well as diligently examines, what we are doing and where we are going, at all times, in our lives; and therefore, absolutely knows everything there is to know about us and our lives, shouldn’t we, who are members of The Company of The Redeemed, ought to truly be aware of and then allow for, this vitally insightful truth to influence our comings, our goings and our doings, in this life?
“For the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.” (Proverbs 5:21 NLT)
Papa God is fully aware of every aspect of our lives, as He sees, perceives, comprehends and completely understands, everything there is to know about us; in what we believe, think, say and do. He knows and does this, by faithfully and diligently watching us, as He carefully examines every path we choose to trod upon, in our sojourn upon this earth.
Bottom Line: Because we have this truth, the invaluable insight of knowing that Papa God clearly sees all, absolutely knows all, and is therefore, watching and examining us, in where we go, how we go, as we go, who we go with and what we do; it would greatly behoove us to believe, think, behave and comport ourselves accordingly, as well as appropriately. It would be prudent and wise, for each of us, to pay close attention, by listening intently and then allowing for, what we have heard to greatly influence us in everything we believe, think, say and do in our life’s sojourn; in how we conduct, comport and carry on and live out our daily lives. We ought to do this, not out of fright or being afraid of what Papa God will do to us if we happen to mess up or don’t perform up to a certain level of expectation and therefore, do not fully comply with, perhaps what our own or others perception of what we believe Papa God wants us to do is, as He is not up there somewhere, just watching and waiting for us to “blow it” so that He then has the opportunity to hit us over the head with a big mallet and call us utterly stupid and dumb! Papa God is a good, loving and kind, gracious and merciful Father and is therefore, watching us and closely examining us for our own good and great benefit! Papa God is always there for us and with us! That’s the reason He keeps up with all of our comings, our goings and our doings, in this life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 04/06/15- “Just This One Thing!” (Psalms 27:4)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 04/06/15- “Just This One Thing!” (Psalms 27:4)
Premise Question: What should we, as members of The Company of The Redeemed, aspire to become, as it relates to this unique request and deep desire of the Psalmist David?
The one thing I ask of the LORD — the thing I seek most— is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s perfections and meditating in his Temple. (Psalms 27:4 NLT)
The consummate existence and supreme experience that I am requesting of You, O LORD, for it is my ultimate quest and the thing I earnestly desire and urgently chase after; is to dwell in the place of Your manifest presence, Your heavenly abode, for every day of my earthly existence and even extending beyond my mortal existence into eternity, to always enjoy The LORD God Almighty’s excellence and His holiness, being allowed to stay in deep contemplation and thought, while ruminating and worshiping forever in The Temple of The Most High. (Psalms 27:4 PDCP)
Bottom Line: We, as members of The Company of The Redeemed, should aspire to become The LORD’s “Sanctuary of Praise” (Psalms 68:35, 27:6) “Temple of Worship” (Psalms 5:7, 138:2) “House of Prayer” (Luke 19:46, Isaiah 56:7) “House of Power” (Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:4, Ephesians 1:19) and His authentic “Household of Faith” (Galatians 6:10, Titus 3:14, James 1:27). I leave you with a scripture, which I believe, encompasses it all!
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. (Psalms 63:1-8 NLT) Blessings…
