I know you are wondering what I’m talking about with this heading “it begins with me”. The Lord has a purpose for your life and now is the time to embrace it. However, before you can go out and do the work, The Lord must first work inside of you.  Before Jesus could begin His public ministry, there were things that had to take place first.  He was baptized and then filled with the Holy Spirit that led Him into the wilderness.  While He was in the wilderness the devil tempted Him for forty days.  After this took place, Jesus came back home to Nazareth and went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day.  In Luke 4:18-19 Jesus revealed to all in the synagogue His purpose in this world.  When He revealed His purpose some were excited while others rejected it.  In essence Jesus was letting them all know it begins with Me.

You are no different.  You have been baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit that led you into the wilderness.  While you were there, the devil tempted you but you came out victorious.  Now you need to announce your purpose in 2015.  Even though some will reject it stand tall, because it begins with me!  Happy New Year!
