What the Prophetic Space really is
Jesus fulfilled a threefold mission on earth: as Priest, King and Prophet. Through Him we share in that — and it has a very concrete meaning in everyday life.
In the New Testament, Jesus fulfilled a threefold mission on earth: as Priest, King and Prophet.
Through Him we share in that as the Church. That mission is given to each of us in all three dimensions. We are invited to be priests and prophets, and to share in the reign of God's Kingdom here on earth, in keeping with His Word.
What does that mean?
These three dimensions have a very concrete meaning in our everyday lives.
Since the Sacrifice of Jesus, as priests we can join all our own suffering to His — handing it over to Him and laying on the altar of our hearts everything that causes us pain.
Our reigning shows itself in the authority given to us on earth to steward material things — „fill the earth and subdue it". Every day we shape what this world looks like, on the small scale and the large, within whatever sphere of influence we are given.
We also share in the prophetic dimension of Jesus' mission, which He likewise handed on to us to carry out on earth. It means noticing what God is doing in a person's life and in the space around us, and speaking it out over all creation — so that His Word becomes flesh, becomes reality.
What a mentor is in this space
A mentor who is aware of this mission and equipped with this gift — combined with a broad understanding of the human being, of psychology and anthropology, together with neuroscience and theology, as in my case — is more than a coach and a guide.
Such a mentor draws on that whole range of gifts in order to walk, together with the One Mentor, the Holy Spirit, towards the fulfilment of the desires God has placed in a person's heart.
A space like this leaves a great deal of room for God, who ultimately leads the person and is their perfect Architect. He knows them through and through, and alongside the mentor He cheers them on, actively taking part in the transformation of their thinking — and therefore of their life.
If this kind of companionship is something you are drawn to, I warmly invite you to get in touch.
