Keeper of The Wardrobe

8/6/21

When the Lord started confirming my 2007 covenant was still in play, I dreamed a dream that struck a myriad of emotions in me.  I call it the Keeper of the Wardrobe dream.  It occurred in September.

In the dream, I found myself with a bag that contained my Bible. I presented it to a kind woman at a counter who was similar to a Registrar or Recorder.  She showed me a date on a piece of paper stamped December 3^rd through the 6^th.   I did not see a year. I thought why a range of dates instead of one date?  I did not receive an answer.  I was to leave my bible with her for copying but I just couldn't part with it.

In the final scene, I had left the Registrar’s presence and I found that she had sent a number of beautiful dresses ahead for me to use for a future occasion.  I saw the lovely springtime (stunningly colored) dresses hanging in my closet.  Upon waking I heard ‘Keeper of the Wardrobe’.  Her title was definitive.

I asked the Lord who this female heavenly being was besides her title.  He said she’s a Watcher dispatched from heaven to warn me but also to provide hope of a new wardrobe (job) in the future.  Why warn me?  Because 3 months after this dream, I was barraged with three uncomfortable dreams about the pastor I wrote about in chapter nine of my book.  In addition, a beloved friend of many years turned against me during this three-day time period that December.

“I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven.”  (Daniel 4:12).

I did not go into detail how this weakness has changed my life in my previous book.  I have not mentioned that with this affliction has come a deflation to my sense of purpose.  Most who will read this will not be able to relate to my words.  But to those among you who have experienced an altering physical event, you understand.  God understands, He weeps with us.

With that said, over the last few years I could not wear a lot of clothes in my closet.  Now mind you, I love clothes and for the entirety of my corporate career I was clothes obsessed.  Yes, I admit it.  I was smitten with being a ‘clothes horse’!  My wardrobe was an idol to me.  I had always been known for my fashion style and not ever wearing the same ‘outfit’ twice.  Though I did wear my clothes more than once, I always accessorized differently so it appeared as a ‘new’ outfit.  I enjoyed clothes.  It was my most relished hobby.

Nevertheless, you can understand why the dream was so precious to me.  I believe the Lord is aware of my current inadequacies in this department, He also knows my heart’s desires.  So, to meet the Keeper of the Wardrobe and for her to send ahead into the future a new feminine wardrobe is poignant. 

Is the title Keeper of the Wardrobe biblical I wondered?  There are a few references to the Keeper of the Wardrobe in scripture, most relate to those appointed to clothe kings and priests.  It is my assumption though that the Keeper I met is in heaven and sent by God for my new assignment that is on the horizon. 

I have had numerous dreams of me changing clothes.  Or needing to change clothes but not sure what to change into in each dream.  I have also had dreams of wearing new dresses and shoes that I do not currently own.  Big sister Sherry shared with me that the Lord told her He was giving me a new wardrobe, a spiritual one. 

From Sherry’s prayer journal: “I am preparing her for the work that is ahead. It is serious work for my kingdom. It does not mean she will need a new wardrobe for the outside appearance. Her new wardrobe is eternal, invisible and held within her. It is the garment of praise. It is Holy for her to share and give away when the time comes.  It will be varied with different colors and textures, but always needed.  This work will be the most fulfilling of anything she has ever done before. Her thoughts will not be for the worldly, but for my Glory and honor.”

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:  they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:28-30).

I believe Sherry’s prophetic statement of a new heavenly wardrobe to be truth but I am also hopeful that it will include the dresses that I saw in my dream to satisfy the craving in my heart.  Just believe, for all things are possible with God!  “For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him amen, to the glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20).
