What is a Seer?

Given The Bible, and we are looking to apply and wield The Bible through The Spirit of God to its fullest, what is a Seer? What do I mean by applying and wielding The Bible? Someone doesn't have a doctrine or ideology or false belief or perception they are working to fit the Bible into, they are "doing" and meek before God seeking understanding, and making associations that work. Doing this, and seeking to answer this question, may be uncomfortable. It may hurt. The Truth hurts. Knowledge brings sorrow. Ignorance is bliss?
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8)
Given someone was a Seer, they may be able to see what has been happening in the darkness. He may have some knowledge about what happens behind closed doors. He may have been aware of Satan. He may have been engaging in Spiritual Warfare. He may have been aware of many uncomfortable things that some people would rather have had hidden. God is scary. Being aware of God may bring a fear of God, and some people may have been working against God, and working to hide away God. To more clearly understand what the spiritual is, how it works, and what was going on behind closed doors, someone may end up hated for a time. Christians are to bring people into the truth gently. At times, like an Apocalypse or an opening of the eyes, it may come suddenly in the right context, by the right person, as shepherded by God.

Song: "Dangerous."
The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac. (Hosea 9:7)
Why?

Given someone was fulfilling or appeared to fit into the profile given in Hosea 9:7, he may have been a seer, with God's Fatherly love. He may have been given vision into what happens in The Darkness, and was aware of sins and wrong doings. (Not specifically claiming Hosea 9:7, but working towards understanding.)

Illusions and False Perceptions

One way of seeking understanding of what a Seer is may be working to understand some of the barriers that have kept a regular Christians from being one. Have you have heard someone say "Masturbation will make you go blind?" Spiritual blindness or blindness to God. Young man around age 12-13 was out playing with his friends, and one of his buddies had a playboy, and he starts lusting. He starts looking and thinking about women wrong. His friends have stories about exploits with the "Girls next door" in sin?? That was perceived as cool where someone receives attention and accolades from his friends? That is playing on the ego. Someone may have ended up a "self-centered seeker of pleasure." He became a blind man. How was a man blind? God is love. God's love is fatherly. Someone looking at a woman in lust, wanting to use her outside of marriage, he was blind to God's Fatherly love.

After reading that, a man who went to public school may need to sit back and reflect. Has he been in competition with other men in terms of dating or relationships? Even if he was married, and he had been in a competition, he may have had a wondering eye. That wondering eye may have had to do with false perceptions and his ego. A lot of that may have been in his subconscious. He didn't think about it a lot, but various perceptions and his ego compelled him forwards, and he was in sin. Moving forward, he may need to drop his ego, not care, be happy with what he has, and seek God's will and plan.

Looking at this from a different angle, man meets pretty girl. He likes the idea of her. He creates some sort of image in his head of who he would like her to be. He was not interested in her, who she was, what she had done. He was interested in the fantasy image of her. He may have been a blind man who had illusions. These illusions gave him a false perspective. Given she tried to tell him certain things about who she was, and her past, or give him hints about it, it was in one ear or out the other or just didn't compute?
The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true." (John 4:18)
No false beliefs. No illusions. Jesus looked at someone, and conversed. Jesus was intuitive and perceived through his Spirit.

Someone who was experiencing God, being taught by God's Holy Spirit, who saw into the dark, may have seen a lot of ugly hard to deal with things. Was someone's mom or grandma in sin, doing the wrong things? He may have become aware of that through the Spirit of God. Did someone's parents lie to them a lot? They may have become aware of the Truth. Having Truth, he may have ended up in conflict with his family? Given a lot of people suddenly had vision into the dark, as Shepherded by The Lord Jesus Christ, there may be a fulfillment of Matthew 10:34-37?

An understanding of what a Seer is, may bring a lot of understanding to The Bible that someone didn't have previously.

How may someone potentially develop this through the Spirit of God? I don't 100% know. I have not walked anyone else through it in person. I have mostly been in an online ministry offering hard to deal with truths in ways people choose. That is, they chose to read it. They didn't have to. Given I was to highlight what I have seen or been shown as important towards growing more in Faith:
  • They seek God with all their heart and soul and strength and mind.
  • Pray. If it would bring you Glory. God likes Glory.
  • I don't know.
  • I don't care.
  • They live in the moment.
  • An understanding of The Kingdom of God, and that God's plan is God's Kingdom.
They start with a good foundation.
