Carol Kelley: "Many Will Walk Into New Ministry Assignments"

In late November 2014, the Lord showed me in a dream that during this coming year many will walk into new ministry assignments, both individually and together, with other Believers in the Body of Christ. For some, "old wells" of ministry will be unstopped and restored (see Genesis 26:18); others will discover new sources of "living water" (see verses 19-21). God will make room for you, give you fruitfulness, and lead you into a broad place (see verse 22).
Look to God to lead you in new directions. Seek His confirmation in your spirit, through His Word, and through the godly counsel and wisdom of others (see Proverbs 8:33; 12:15; 13:10; 19:20-21). The Holy Spirit will empower you, giving grace, courage, and strength as you step into the Lord's call for you.
Claim the promises He has already given you. Perhaps you have waited months, years, even decades without seeing these promises come to fruition. Take heart in God's faithfulness (see 1 Corinthians 1:9), and that He will do what He has spoken (see Joshua 21:45; Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 46:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).
If you have become discouraged, ask the Lord to renew and multiply your hope: "This I recall to mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I have hope in Him.' The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him" (Lamentations 3:21-25).
Alignment and New Opportunities
"Alignment" is a word I have been hearing for several months now. God has been telling me He is setting things into alignment and preparing events to come together in His time. At the end of October I heard, "Yes, I have new opportunities for you, and will open doors and lead you into them at the right time. Look forward to and walk into your future with joy and confidence. I am providing all you need – physical strength, finances, and alignments."
A month later He told me, "Look ahead to the future, not back to the past. Your best days are still ahead! Learn from the past, but don't live there or dwell on it. The past is over and done, covered by My love and grace. (Photo via Pixabay)
"I am doing something new (see Isaiah 42:9, 43:19, 48:6; Revelation 21:5)! Live in the present and celebrate what I am doing now. Yet it is also good to plan for the future, to have hopes and dreams. Why would I promise to give you the desires of your heart (see Psalm 37:4) if it wasn't alright to have them?
"Forget what lies behind, and look forward to what is ahead. Press into the call I have for you (see Philippians 3:14-15).
"I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (see Jeremiah 29:11). Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off (see Proverbs 23:18)."
May the God of all comfort (see 2 Corinthians 1:3) bless you during this coming year, renew your hope in Him, and lead you in new paths of ministry and service to Him.
In His grace,
Carol Kelley
