I was driving on a broad highway, heading westward toward San Francisco. Piled up on both sides was debris from destroyed homes and industries. Even the bridges that crossed the road were covered with debris. The road began to narrow as the waste increased, eventually leaving just one lane. At the end of the road, I came to where they were shedding the garbage to haul it away and possibly recycle it. I then found myself standing with a small group of church members, loading documents and other objects onto a conveyor belt to be shredded. The pastor and associate pastor of the church and a few leaders looked at the useless things with sadness, pining over their loss. I stood beside them, comforting them in their time of loss.

The dream represents a loss or destruction of material things likely coming to this nation. It will affect everyone, including the church. God does not want us to be attached to the things of this world that are quickly passing. He wants the church to shred our useless carnal objects so we can freely worship and serve God in the Spirit.
