The Prophetic Imagination

If justice is a world in line with God, then the prophetic imagination is to challenge injustice.
In our affluenza, we all live like Kings nowadays, and all need to be challenged by prophetic ministry to bring us back to God.
Make the heart of this people fat,
and their ears heavy,
and shut their eyes,
lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed. (Isaiah 6:10)
Prophetic ministry is "offering an alternative perception of reality and in letting people see their own history in the light of God's freedom and his will for justice."
