[I pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him (Ephesians 1:17).
Today’s Devotional By contrasting and comparing the prophet and seer streams, we can gain a better understanding of how the two work together and complement each other in bringing out the fullest expression of God’s prophetic revelation. Prophets in this stream often work in a plurality of leadership. Seasoned and gifted individuals, both men and women, minister through the laying on of hands, relating prophecy to individuals or to the corporate body as it is revealed to them.
This ministry often utilizes the spiritual gifts of tongues and the interpretation of tongues, prophecy, and words of knowledge. Nabiy´ prophets “hear” words in their spirits and begin by releasing this unction. This kind of prophecy tends to be more spontaneous and with a faster flow than “seer” prophecy, with inspiration as the general tone. Ra´ah or chozeh seers, on the other hand, tend more toward single person ministry versus the plurality of a team. The seer anointing emphasizes visions and the revelatory gifts mingled with the gift of discerning of spirits, rather than the audible, speaking gifts. Within the visionary dimension, there are two basic levels of seeing: visual and actual. Visual seeing involves insights, revelations, warnings, and prophecies from the Spirit of God that may come in supernatural visual dreams. In contrast, actual seeing involves supernatural dreams in which God’s tangible presence is evident or manifested.
1. Have you ever been part of an experience where prophets laid hands on you or someone you know and ministered their revelation? Describe the experience. What was the atmosphere in the spiritual realm?
2. Why do you think the ministry of a prophet is usually spontaneous in its flow? Do you think this spontaneity helps keep prophets from adding their own thoughts, or do you think it could make the message more tainted with personal observations?
3. How are the spiritual gifts of tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, and words of knowledge utilized by prophets? How have you seen them in operation?
4. Have you experienced the ministry of a seer who spoke of a vision or picture revealed by God? Why do seers operating in this ministry flow often receive the pictures of revelation prior to the time of ministry and delivery?
5. How would you explain these basic levels of vision: visual and actual? How do you think these ways of seeing work? Meditation Every born-again believer has two sets of eyes. We have our physical eyes, with which we view the physical, created world around us. Paul talks about the second set of eyes—the eyes of our hearts, or our inner selves—that can be enlightened to perceive spiritual truth. I am convinced that any believer can develop the seer capacity. Pray that the Lord develops the eyes of your heart so that you will perceive spiritual truth.

Many moons ago, I went in for inner healing on the day before the Lord gave me an early morning vision, I saw myself traveling towards my counseling appointment and there was an angle and when I actually went to go for my appointment later that day, I received great revelation on why, I used to feel like I did. I knew it was God because that man and his team did not know anything about my past life at all and when I left from my appointment to go outside, the first heavens were 3D bright colors, and I was rainbow colors too. I will never forget that day.
God is, the God of the suddenly, He operates like that; this is why, the church must be ready in season and out of season at all times, ready to be used by the Spirit of the living God. Sometimes people can still add their own thoughts from time to time. However, the spontaneous flow of the spirit dose help if one is flowing with spirit. Malachi 3:1“‘Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,’ says the LORD of hosts.” Psalm 147:15 “He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.”
I have seen the spirit move this way many times during worship, one person or many will speak out in tongues and someone will go forth and interpret the unknown tongue, They will tell with God is telling them or tell the people what they saw…
4. Have you experienced the ministry of a seer who spoke of a vision or picture revealed by God? Why do seers operating in this ministry flow often receive the pictures of revelation prior to the time of ministry and delivery?
To give the seer insights, revelations, warnings on what to expect beforehand, basically prepare that person.
Visual seeing involves insights, revelations, warnings, and prophecies from the Spirit of God that may come in supernatural visual dreams, actual seeing involves supernatural dreams in which God’s tangible presence is evident or manifested.
1. I have seen in the church where certain leaders have laid their hands on people and prayed for them and spoke words of wisdom to them and spoke words that seems to pertain specifically to their life and the spiritual realm seem very high with the power of God where the people who had the hands on them went into worship and speaking in tongues and all I thought was wow powerful.
2. I think it's that way because when you are fully operating in the spirit of God and not your flesh at any moment God can speak a word in your ear and in the body of christ you will immediately be about to pick up things in the spirit. And yes I think it does stop them from adding their own message only if their in operating in the spirit of God and it could become tainted if they are operating off flesh.
3. I have seen speaking in tongues and interpretation, and words of knowledge being used in the body of Christ and from what I have witness their utilized because it being on a different level with Christ, it's going higher and deeper so you can hear God even the more then you usually would.
4. no not yet in my life but Im pretty sure if I have be blessed too it would amazing.
5. base of the reading of this devotion visually is the second eye sight that paul mention in our heart the things we see in our inner selves and actual is what we see in the world around us, I pray that God will develop my eyes of my heart so that I will begin to see inner spiritual truth in Jesus name Ne'eman.
4. Answer. No i cant say that i have. i use to get pictures when i was younger. But i dont believe i was a witiness to that. yet.
5. So for me for the visual is what you can see visually in your second sight. verses whats actually going on in your actual vision your natrual sight. your natrual sight is like what you presently seeing what you actually seeing with your natrual eye. veres your second sight where visions is transported for things to be seen ahead of time. or in the past time or present. your able to see while present but not present. bringing it back to actual seeing and visual seeing. How it works is God filters your mind and show you pictures or visions of what he wants you to see. He show us spiritually how things are and then the actual he show us what the vision means and how it will come to past.
1. Answer. Yes i have been in the presence of a prophet that laid hands on someone i know before and minister to there spirit. My experience was how real it was how amazed he was because he was saying i never told anyone how he know that. i remember how shocking it was to watch how God was using the man of God and seeing how the young man life was change. confirmation it all was for him. The atmosphere at that point it felt like a shift was taking place it was a strong vibe, It was a flowing wave if that makes since.
2. Answer. i think the reason why when prophets flow in the ministry after after fasting praying meditating and spending time decluttering and decreasing thoughs things out of you totally stepping aside so God can use you and shift in you is Letting the anoiting totally rest on you is another way how it spontaneously flows easily. Yes i do think he will because you will be so caught up in it you wouldnt desire to add on anything jut what the Lord has given or shown you. i personally do feel like it will be tainted if we add on anything other then what God has said i feel it will throw it off.
3. Answer. i have seen spiritual gift of tongues used first then prophecy as well given words of knowledge then the interpretation of the tongues. yes i have personally seen this happening before.
4. Answer. Yes.
Bless you Prophetess Domonique, can you please answer question 4 and 5 in more details? Thank you.
blessings Apostle i know i went head and replied because i didnt want it to die on me lol
1: Yes when I was younger my mother had laid hands on me. And she begin to prophecy to me and I want into this vision where I was dancing for the Lord and his angels. I remember the room as if I was their right now the room was gold and white. The chairs was gold and white together it was so beautiful. I was in that vision for at least 10 mins but it was any whole 30 mins. So God's timing is totally different from our time.
2: The reason why Phophets have to keep is flow because of what you said we don't want it to be our thoughts so that why we flow the way wr do because what we hear we must speak if not it will turn into our own thoughts. We must be quick to speak as fast as the messeger is giving us the word we have got to say it. Yes of course it does. Yes it can taint the messege if we are in our flesh and emotions yes it will taint it. So never Prophetcy in your flesh or in your emotions.
3: It utilize in a big way because you want to speak in your heavenly lanuage order for you to recieve the word God got to hear you in the spirit he have to see if you are ready to give this word. That means he have to make sure you are not in your flesh before he gives you a word. Tonuges connects you in the spirit better and you can hear God was clear because you are in the spirit realm in him. Yes not to Long ago in a Sonday Worshift explosion. I was worshifting God and I was in another Realm but I heard Apostle T go forth in her heavenly Languege. I had interpret some of what she had said, I was in a total different realm.
4: I have seen picture visions but not recently I seen it in my youth. I used to just look at a picture and I'm in a vision it was so deep. I will go a lot of places with the Lord he will share stuff with me. We will have dinner together fish and bread. I remembered my mother had a lion and we named him Judah and I will look into his eyes and I will be in a vison sometimes he will call me, and I will go with him and be gone for at least and hour or thirty mintues. My viosn be revelaion for me our for the people I used to minister too.
5: I will explain my visions back then both. It work by meditation, fasting, and seeking the face of God. Yes I pray Lord you re-open my 2nd eyes so I may see way deeper now than I was younger. I desire yo take my seer anointing to the next dimensions. We are ready to excel in you Lord so show us your visions we are ready in Jesus ,Abba Ben Ruach Hadesh, Ne'eman.
