Introduction

Are we ready to step into the spotlight of our divine purpose? This powerful message reminds us that many of us are on the cusp of 'going public' with our God-given ministries. Just as John the Baptist emerged from the wilderness to fulfill his calling, we too are being prepared for a new level of visibility and impact. The scripture from Luke 1 and 3 beautifully illustrates this transition, showing how John grew strong in spirit before beginning his public ministry. This parallel encourages us to recognize our own seasons of growth and preparation. The 'wilderness' experiences in our lives, though challenging, are shaping us for greater things. As we become 'strong in spirit,' we're being equipped with the wisdom, discernment, and spiritual fortitude needed for the next phase of our journey. Are we ready to embrace this transition, to step out of the shadows and into the light of our true calling?
