RENEWING HIS FURNITURE

EXPERIENCE 4/23/05: I was asking the Lord about hearing His voice last night. And then I woke up to loud thunder. It was very powerful. It sounded like great explosions as in warfare. Since I had just asked Him about His voice, I felt He was saying something to me through the literal thunder, although I did not know what He was saying.

Job 37:1-5 AMP

Indeed, [at His thunderings] my heart also trembles and leaps out of its place. Hear, oh, hear the roar of His voice and the sound of rumbling that goes out of His mouth! Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, and His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it His voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He restrains not [His lightnings against His adversaries] when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

CONFIRMATION: Wayne told me this morning that he was dreaming when the largest boomer was overhead. He was seeing the library shelves in heaven and there was all this gold furniture stacked up on the shelves. He said the library and books were solid and literal. And as he looked up, there were stacks of furniture on top, and the further they stacked towards heaven, the more ethereal they became. A piercing light came through his eye lids and he saw the furniture turn gold.

We wondered if the piercing light came at the same time as the literal lightning, but there are black out shades in the room. We both acknowledged that the thunder sounds were the strangest thunder we had ever heard. It sounded like bombs and explosions instead of thunder. We both prayed and asked the Lord what He wanted to do with this furniture.

UPDATE: The next day one of our intercessors had a dream that a strong wind of the Lord blew through the house. When the wind was gone, it left all the old furniture renewed and restored. They were shiny and in freshly restored new condition.

UPDATE: Although it was quickened to me that the furniture represented people in this rhema, in the following scripture, the word equipping means to furnish. It was quickened to me that this too was related to the furniture, for part of the equipping He provides is people.

Eph 4:12 AMP

His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping {2677} of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church)…

IMPRESSION: As I was praying about this, the memory of the photograph of Iraq's sandstorm returned. On the same day that Wayne sent me the photo of the sand storm, I remembered seeing the back of a jeep that said, "Got sand?" These things were quickened to me as important to this wind and the renewing of the furniture.

WORD TO PONDER: SAND BLASTING TO RESTORE

Sometimes I allow demonic winds and the loud thundering of the sounds of war to cloud your view. They are like rough sand storms as they blow through your home, raising demonic dust. The dust clouds your vision and it is hard to maneuver through it. During those times, you need to lay low, hunker down, and lay prostrate before Me. Allow the sanding away of the rough edges and let Me use what the enemy intends for evil, for My good purposes. I will use that which is gritty and abrasive to smooth all the old places that are tarnished, spotted, and stained. When all is settled down, I will recondition these places to a soft, smooth texture and prepare your life to be restored and sealed with My anointing oil.

Many have already gone through these sand storms and are placed upon the shelves waiting to be placed in My house. When My house is swept clean, I shall place these beautifully restored ones back into use. They shall be a light and a comfort to many who await their own restoration.

Mal 3:2 KJV

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers ' soap:
