The Prophet (Part 2)

The prophet is an instrument of God. His words always bring hope and enrichment to the individual and community. Through his connection with the Lord, the prophet offers the individual a connection "in the moment" to God and Christ. The experience for the listener is an opportunity to let go of their past, their pain, and their cynicism, to accept the grace and love of God. The listener is made aware that empowerment and life-long enrichment is a gift offered and that their opportunity is acceptance.

IMAGINATIVE RECREATION – PROPHETIC RE-EDUCATION

Kim feels that much of the irrelevancy in the church is a result of misguided gifts that ultimately dictate a class of behavior that misrepresents true Christianity.

Kim believes that the re-education of the church is vital. However, his strategy of re-education is bold and appealing. He has sought to break the power of religious control by recreating instead of re-educating.

This is done by presenting something more appealing to the audience than the accepted sermon format of solemn charging of oaths, which places the hearer under the constant reminder of his weaknesses and failures. DESTINY becomes the JOY that is set before them, rather than the curse that oftentimes becomes the focus of attention. Hebrews says that Christ endured because of the joy that was set before Him, even though he was aware of the fact of crucifixion and pain. The prophet has the ability to “set destiny before you” in the face of present pain and despair. The imagination plays a vital part in this and once awakened to good and not evil, it could guide you with joy to your place of destiny.

The prophet carries certain aspects of future events as determined by God. He is a contradiction to present circumstances because of the foreknowledge/foresight that inspires him. He is merely a channel and is often unaware of the implications of the impression, but carries a certain burden until this is released, hence, the intense disposition that often surrounds him. His words always bring hope and enrichment to an individual, community, and people.
