The Mailbox – Part Two: Transformation

Hearing from God on the mailbox came again during a time of worship. My initial sense after the second word was that God desires to make a change in all of us and our community. He wants to transform our lives and how we relate to each other and the other parts of the body. We are to become an organism as opposed to an organisation.

Our structure is organic, unique, marvelous and unlike anything man-made or synthetic. We are to accept no substitutes, no matter how godly-functional or pragmatic they appear to be.

The second message about the mailbox came about a month after while worshiping during a night watch. There were no words, just pictures this time. The images are still vivid in my mind and i hope i can capture most of what was going on. This one still needs prayerful meditation as well. I think it is meant for others to personally interpret with prayer, meditation and collaboration.

The Mailbox appeared in front of me. It stood alone protected by only four grey walls. It began to move and pulsate. The dark finish of the wood began to lighten and almost became transparent.

The dividing walls of the slots began to move and divide. Their shapes warped and changed. New rows began to grow out in all directions in layers. Each row and cell took on new unique shapes, not unlike a paisley, but fit extremely well together.

More and more rows emerged out of every direction. The once rigid constructed form began to grow a covering and it was as if it was breathing. It looked an organ full of life; interdependent cells interconnected to each other and moving in a flowing rhythm with each pulse and breath.
The organ reached out and attached to other organs. It ended there.

The impressions from that vision are still strong long after the fact. There were (so far) three strong thoughts that came out of that vision. The first vision showed as as we are. The second shows us in a stage of transformation; on the way to becoming who we are to be; individually and corporately, in Christ.

Thought One:

Each of has a unique shape and we are designed to fit each other.

Thought Two:

Together we are designed and called to conform to a larger shape.

Thought Three:

We are an organism that grows pursuing its destiny.
