Whom GOD calls, He equips...
and He causes us to abound.
Jesus said we didn't choose him,
He chose us, and called us to bear good fruit in John 15:16.
He called us.
Many are called, but few are chosen we are told in Matthew 22:14.
We are then told to study to make our election (choosing) sure in 2 Timothy 2:15.
So He calls us, He chooses us, and He equips us for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21; 3:16-17.)
Exodus 31:1-3 let's us know that when we are called, we are then filled with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge in all manner of workmanship.
This is no little matter. Our Heavenly Father says He does that, and...
That He is our supplier of seed and of bread. He is the one that increases us because He multiplies the seed we sow and increases the fruits of our righteousness so that we are enriched in everything... 2 Corinthians 9:9-12
So this podcast, in effect, is a result of my storehouse overflowing.

CALLED & EQUIPPED: An Overflowing Word
CALLED & EQUIPPED: An Overflowing Word
J Lynn Serino - Barbour
25 SEP 2022 · To whitewash is a metaphor meaning "to gloss over or cover up vices, crimes or scandals or to exonerate by means of a perfunctory investigation or through biased presentation of data".
Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one's own expressed moral rules and principles.
The Bible had a lot more to say about the whitewashed graves of hypocrisy than I thought.
This is what watv.org shared on the subject in 2010...
Quote
Eze 13:10-15 " ‘Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth . . . I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the LORD. So I will spend my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, . . ." '' "
Apostle Paul said to the high priest Ananias who sinned against God by hindering the gospel, "You whitewashed wall!"
Ac 23:1-3 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, "My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day." At this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! . . ."
Jesus compares the hypocritical teachers of the law and Pharisees to whitewashed tombs.
Mt 23:27-28 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men''s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
False prophets make a habit of doing detestable things, deceive people and shut the kingdom of heaven in their faces. They are like whitewashed tombs, which look clean and beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of everything unclean. So, they can never escape the punishment of hell.
Mt 23:14-15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men''s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are."
Mt 23:33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?"
Thus, the Bible likens false prophets and their denominations to whitewashed tombs; for even though a church is very big and gorgeous on the outward and it has long history and tradition, if it has no truth, it can never be a place of salvation.
Today, there are so many churches led by false prophets like whitewashed tombs in the world; they shut off the kingdom of heaven from people by deceiving them with falsehood and lawlessness while calling God, "Lord, Lord" (Mt 7:21- 23). The Bible refers to the false churches as spiritual Babylon. God wants His people to quickly come out of Babylon—a home for demons—which is full of wickedness and lawlessness, before the Judgment Day comes, so that they will not be condemned with them.
Rev 18:2-5 With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes."
Now is the time to lead our heavenly brothers and sisters, who are dying in spiritual Babylon like a whitewashed tomb, into the refuge of salvation as quickly as possible.

This morning, when our Heavenly Father woke me, I was made to sit, read, hear and listen to Psalm 17.
In the reminder of where vindication can be found in the presence of the Lord.
We need to stop looking for man to vindicate us. Only the Lord can vindicate us.
So this morning not only was I shown the vindication and where it comes from; but I was also shown what it looks like.
This excited me so much that I had to pass it along to you. Be blessed in the reading of Psalm 17 and the supporting verses.
And Happy New Year.
23 NOV 2021 · I don't ever want to take for granted that our Heavenly Father approved for me to be awakened today. He has a purpose for me in this day. (I wonder what it is. I wonder who I am to receive from today. I wonder who I am to give to today. I wonder what I will receive. I wonder what I am to give.)
All I know is that I cannot treat today as just another day. All I know is that I am not to do what I normally do, or what society expects me to do in this day. Our Heavenly Father approved for me to be awakened today. I was awakened for HIS purposed. He has a will for me for today - a plan for me and whatever it is it is for my good.
I'm so excited. I must not forget that someone did not hear their name called on today. Someone did not wake up. Someone will not be able to participate in this day - for the good or the bad.
I say or the bad because I do realize that iron sharpens iron. So some have a hard job to do. Some have the responsibility of bringing themselves and others to their knees.
Why themselves and others?
Because God's Word is a two edged sword. So usually those with the hard assignments are those who reject the KING Jesus Christ as their Savior and Redeemer.
By not accepting Jesus as Lord over their lives in gratitude for His making us all debt free, one still lives in such a way that is shaped in iniquity. And so the path they are one causes them to have to be sharpened by iron - whether they are the sharpener or the one being sharpened. This too is necessary. I get it. Someone has to do the hard work.
As for me, I desire to be a ground that is malleable - a ground that is ready for planting, ready to receive good seed, and ready to grow. I want to be a ground that can withstand the forces of nature and the attack of the bugs ( lol ) so that I can grow and produce good fruit.
So yes I am excited about today.
I am grateful that I was chosen to wake up today.
I present myself, a living sacrifice, ready to do God's will on this day.
Good morning. Here I am.
23 NOV 2021 · Do you treat the Lord like a hotel or AirBnB?
Unlocking the blessings of Psalm 91 requires more than a hotel stay.
You can't just check in and check out with the Lord and think that you will be covered under the blessings mentioned at Psalm 91.
Do you know what the secret place of the Most High is?
Do you know how to dwell in the secret place of the Most High?
Do you know how to abide under the shadow of the Almighty?
Would you like to know?

19 NOV 2021 · Distractions keep us from paying attention. Distractions are meant to keep us so busy that we won't have time to sit in the presence of the Lord where we can be refilled and refueled. Beware of the distractions.
18 NOV 2021 · When you were called to ministry, and your election was made sure because you were chosen, don't worry about...
1. When - it's in God's timing
2. Where - your steps are ordered. God will position you
3. Why - you are called according to God's purpose
4. Who - God will command angels regarding you
5. What - God's will be done.
6. How - God has a plan
HIS promise is to Equip Supply and Abound you in every good work.
16 NOV 2021 · At Luke 6:46 Jesus said why do you call me Lord Lord and do not do what I say.
When Jesus speaks to you, do you ignore him, and instead choose to listen to the counsel of another?
What causes this is not really the heart of the individual, but a lack of understanding what the voice of the LORD sounds like.
If we are not taught to recognize the sound of the voice of the LORD spoken to you, or if you are made to feel as if you have to be religious to have this experience, then of course you will not listen.
Let me show you an individual in the Bible who also not only did not know the LORD but did not know the word of the LORD either, but when the LORD called him and it was recognized that he was being called, he was taught how to hear and encouraged to listen and speak.
He was taught to hear the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.
He was given permission to listen to the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.
He was not required to listen only to the older man (priest) whom he worked for.
He was not required to honor and recognize the pedestal (pulpit) over the voice of the LORD spoken to his heart.
Because the high priest taught him to listen to the voice of the LORD, his experience was beyond exceptional. His walk with the LORD was amazing.
We need to be taught to hear the voice of the LORD spoken to our heart.
We need to learn to trust the voice of the LORD spoken to our heart.
Our Heavenly Father wants to speak to us. It's time we start listening.
15 NOV 2021 · The Holy Spirit started negging me just last week to begin podcasting. Just last week I didn't know how. Today is my first.
With this first I know that I am being equipped for every good work.
With this first I know that I am being prepared for something that I am not aware is coming my way.
This first is my Kindergarten project.
These firsts is where I will make a few mistakes as I find my niche. (Laughing)
But I also know that Father would not send me in this direction if HE didn't think I could do this.
I promise you I didn't see this coming either.
I am a writer.
But as I recouperate and heal from this surgery that I had I needed to find new ways to pour out all that is being poured into me.
And how about that.
This takes me to Isaiah 43:19
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
OMG...
Here is yet another stream.
Wow.
Okay Lord Jesus, my King. Have your way. I look forward to seeing how this journey unfolds.
This is my first.

He called us.
Many are called, but few are chosen we are told in Matthew 22:14.

So He calls us, He chooses us, and He equips us for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21; 3:16-17.)
Exodus 31:1-3 let's us know that when we are called, we are then filled with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge in all manner of workmanship.
