PIE to PLAY

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts…”
Shakespeare

Eat PIE everyday to Act in the Play.

PIE! But what is PIE, and why should I, give it a try?

PIE is the protocol for peace and prosperity. It is the way - to fulfill – God’s Will.

And…

God’s Will is GOOD!
So fulfill it you should.
As His Will is fulfilled,
Your joy is revealed!
So pray everyday,
And be bold to obey!

PIE stands for PRAY, ITEMIZE and EXERCISE. It’s easy to see but hard to apply, and takes dedication to DO and not just to “try.”

P.I.E.
P - Pray and fellowship with God everyday!
I - Itemize - Write down the plan, and make it plain.
E - Exercise - Put the plan in motion.

This is a circular formula that repeats itself every day.

1. Pray
2. Plan
3. Perform

PRAY

To pray is fellowship and communicate with God! It involves TALKING and LISTENING. But how is it done? You can simply talk to God in your own words, you can talk to Him 'in your heart', you can offer praise and worship or pray 'in the spirit'. A simple way to LISTEN is to READ and WRITE. Read His Word and write down what God is saying to you. As you talk and listen and read and write it’s good to JOURNAL so you can articulate the communication into something your mind can understand. You 'tune in' and put your hand to what comes out. It may be a saying, image, scripture, or inspiration that comes alive in your heart.

ITEMIZE - PLAN

The old use of the word "item" refers to an admonition or hint, or a bit of news or information. As you pray you get items for your “to do” list. This is more of an art more than a since because the communication is usually not direct. You have to "Get the Hint!" As you pray the Lord impresses things on your heart. You seem to get a desire to do something. Or you may sense apprehension or warnings about certain situations that you need to change or avoid. So you make a LIST of the hints, admonitions and information. The list is your SCRIPT for the day. Now how will we act it out? You need to P.S. it. Which stands for PRIORITIZE and STRATEGIZE. You need to put first things first and this again involves prayer as you get THE PLAN prioritized for the day. Then once the script is written and organized it's time for you to ACT.

EXERCISE – PERFORM “ACTION!”

To exercise is to plan into action, to perform it. And that is how you fulfill God's will. The actual exercise requires diligence, dedication and discipline. It’s not enough to just know but you also must DO. And not only do but also keep on DOING day by day. For that is the way to walk in the Way!

PRAY EVERYDAY AND BE BOLD TO OBEY!

CALL 333
Jer 33:3
'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
NKJV

Heb 4:16

NKJV

WRITE IT DOWN
Hab 2:2

And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
NKJV

DO IT!
James 1:22-25
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
NKJV
