Seeing A Name

[mizzdy]

Blien, I don't discount what you are seeing, have seen and all that yet all those 'seers' you listed were called by God for specific purposes and not just for seeing things as you are doing. I myself have dreams that pertain to my life and occasionally for others, I have a strong sense of discernment etc. yet I would never think that I was some kind of seer. That is not a gift listed in the gifts given either is it? I'll search out the scriptures to see if this is something any of us are called to have yet off the top of my head I can't think of one place where this is something we are to have. Please don't take this post as anything other than being curious and wanting to understand where this is a biblical thing for all believers.

HI Mizz, it's okay.. I understand. When I said I have the "seer annointing" I wasn't going beyond what the Bible teaches. Romans and 1 Corinthians speaks about the gift of prophecy, so that is what I was refering to.. Seers are prophets but of a different variety. There are the prophets who see and tell God's message and then there are those who hear God's voice and then speak. For example, one of my best friends has the gift of prophecy also and she hears the voice of God and tells me messages. Where as when I prophecy to her, I would say, "I saw you in a vision and this and this happened".

This is not for the past only but also today. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 14 that he wishes the Corinthians would be filled with the gift of prophecy more than tounges because prophecy helps the whole church grown in Christ. So this is the same thing I am talking about. Prophecy for the building up of the church according to the word.

1 Corinthians 14:1-5

Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues

1Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit. 3But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.

The whole chapter is about tounges and prophecy, but I just copied the first paragraph into here.. I recommend reading the whole chapter though because it may give you a better insight on this topic. Anyway, hope this answers your question. If not I can reply more..

Well, if you can figure out "what a doorpost might be symbolic of,? that might help.

In the scripture it tells us that the children of Israel were to apply the blood on their "door posts" and on the mantels of their houses and if they failed to do this then whenever the death angel came the death angel would smite all of the firstborn in their houses and all the firstborn of all the livestock of the children of Israel and if the Egyptians failed to apply the blood to their door posts then the death angel would not pass over their houses nor would the death angel pass over the firstborn in Eygpt nor the firstborn of al their livestock.

When I see the blood I will pass over you.

Wow... I wonder if it means that this person needs the blood? That's so odd.. now I'm even more puzzled by this. What does it mean?

Blien, It was the wording that threw me its not often someone refers to themselves as a seer especially within christian circles, at least from what I read anyhow. Usually we find people in occult circles using the word. I'm pretty up on prophets and all have read the scriptures on the gifts. Seers are messengers of God, inspired men and woman who usually speak for God to the people, using Samuel as an example God talked to him, used him to further His plans, David had a personal seer named Gad. Prophets of old were called seers is what 1 Sam. 9. I'm not sure that we can see two different varieties as you say but a change of name perhaps?

2 Kings 17:13-14 as I mentioned.. there is a separation between the two. They are prophets but obviously different kinds.

I was commenting on 1 Sam. 9:9(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.) Seer is a mixture of things someone who sees, mentally percieves and a prophet is one who is inspired, not really much of a stretch really between the two. Either or they are called by God for a purpose.

Yeah, agreed.

I don't think it would mean that.

Try to think why the blood needed to be placed on the doorposts.

Doors are entry ways.

Doorposts guard, hold, and/or frame the door.

Jeremiah 23:9-32--(emphasis on vs.28) The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:28--But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

I noticed that you said, in one of your post, that you "were more puzzled" I took that to mean you were trying to get the meaning of your dream. I see it that you are in a state of being"confused" Take a look at what God told us.

1 Corinthians 14:33--For God is not the "author" of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
