Sadly, many who believe that they are a Seer/prophet of God, often hurt many of the people of God because they use their gifting wrongly and bring words that do not edify the people concerned, believing that the words that they are giving are coming from God, but the reality is that they have turned away from God and have started to act God like and have come under the power of another entity.
It is the fruit of the "seer/prophet of God" that demonstrates whether or not they have received any gifting at all from God. There will be many who will say when they are judged, "Lord we preached, we performed miracles, we spoke in tongues etc.," but Jesus will respond with, "I never knew you."
Being a disciple of God has a very narrow pathway to walk along where we are fully dependent on God's grace to do His bidding.
Shalom
Interesting point you brought up concerning “seers” of God using their gift to edify. It makes me think of Paul. I can’t find the passage right now but I will…where Paul tells them beforehand that the confidence he had in them before it was so…how he was made not ashamed of that confidence by their fulfillment of it. Or when Paul spoke of “when your obedience” is fulfilled. Not if …but
when Paul seeing it as a “seer” beforehand of when their obedience be fulfilled in Christ . In this sense…we are all in Faith “seers” beforehand being told, if those things come to pass? All “seers” in Faith if beforehand, having Faith in passed from death unto Life. By nature ..I’m asking is Faith is the hope, the evidence of that which is not yet seen …make all Sons through Faith in Christ seers of that told of beforehand not yet seen? All of creation in birth pangs for the revealing of the Sons of God; told of beforehand.
For example now that I think about it …if there is an area of my life that I see as by Faith …a promise …beforehand …if that promise comes to pass… is that not seeing before it happens by Faith? Edification towards Hope.
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
1 Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified
beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and
the glory that should follow.
^isn’t showing “beforehand” “the glory that should follow” … seeing beforehand that which follows after?
