I've heard people tell me that the Holy Spirit talked to them once in their life and at moment of need. I have no doubt that a child of God receives a message from God in some way, many ways. Most born again from above Christians tend to not recognize the signs God gives them, until thy look back and see it.
I received the gift of knowledge only a few years ago. I read the bible many times. When I received the gift, I read the bible with new eyes and the Holy Spirit revealed the true depth of meaning and I remember all scripture. Jesus told me to read His words. I found the words in red (red for the blood of Jesus) in the bible to be supernatural now. They reveal much more than Paul's letters. Some Preachers preach their entire life from the Gospels.
When he revealed that heart revelation to my spirit..it scared the Living daylights out of me....I couldn’t relate to it, as I’d never known it.it was foreign to me, plus I was a few weeks into being Born Again..

I understand now what he revealed to my heart..that’s all I can say at the moment as it involves a married couple...only God can uncover their lie within their marriage..I can only keep it secret.....which I have done for the past 33 years...God knows who will keep his secrets...I could have spread the gossip, all over that church all those years ago..never would I do that..I would be betraying God if I had done that..Gods will be done..in his timing...I rest and wait on him...I am free from the lie that they share..I carried that burden and it wasn’t even mine to:carry..it is theirs and theirs alone....Praise God that I gave their burden that I was carrying back to God...he’s in the situation and like I said..only he can deal with their lie...I hold no animosity towards them any longer....at one time I did...it hindered my fellowship with God...
Rambling over...

A prophet is also called a seer. (See-er)
They see things.

The prophetic gift on an individual.
They are told things
They see things.
Sometimes both.
Words of knowledge come.( Revelation on verses, heresy, and mysteries in the bible.)

King David invoked his prophetic gift against Goliath.
" I see your head coming off"
He " punched his memory "..." I killed the lion and the bear "
Then he invoked the prophetic word,

The prophetic gift is directly tied to the healing ministry.
When laying hands on the sick or a dead person, we look to the prophetic word in confirmation and that is tge tie to miracles signs and wonders.

That dynamic is illustrated in Peter. He was kinda sure, but not real sure he could walk on water.
It was at the spoken word " come" that Peter was indued with a mountain moving faith.

That is what we look for in praying for the sick. ( the prophetic word)
We know God Heals.
We know healing is for every single person.
But when we lay hands on sick people and hear that Rhema word ( "command it. I will do it") we have now seen that mustard seed of faith in the palm of our hand bloom into a huge tree of faith.

The prophetic gift combined with the gift of healing makes huge success in laying on of hands.

I believe it is in that arena that Paul is saying
"...but above all gifts pray that you operate in the prophetic realm".

I have noticed also that the prophetic gift is sometimes like a patient Father and child in prompting.

The illustration I recieved is " look at the house"
My reply..." I an not see any house, just pure fog"
GOD.. " LOOK AGAIN"
My reply.." oh wait, I can make out a house"
God .."Look in the window"
Me..." I don't see any widows Lord"
GOD..."LOOK AGAIN"
ME ..." OH WAIT..yes there is a windows, I can barely make it out"
God .." walk up to it and look inside"
Me.." I can't see anything but reflection, I can't see inside"
God.." look again"
Me..." oh yes ...I can see inside"
( the widow is where you see the thing in the "house" that God is showing you. It is "in the house" where the message or illustration is. We see it through " the window" ( in the spirit)

This illustrates several things.
1 ) understand we can move into the prophetic, but be patient and know you can see nothing apart from his hand on you and the fog I was seeing shrouding the house, is my own self and clutter that I need to keep off of me to stay in clear connection in the Spirit.
2) patience is the cousin of perseverance and persistence.
3) visions and direction can come in several parts and I need to know if there is a continuation to the vision, dream, or voice from heaven.
4) cultivate that prophetic ear so that you know his voice, and not something from the mind.
5) do not add to the vision or word of knowledge.
If he gives you a vision or dream, do not immediately jump to an interpretation from the mind.
Wait for the interpretation. It could be a day or week later.
6) I have spent thousands of dollars going to places of revival and intense presence of God in meetings.
Priceless...totally priceless. I got what I went for.
There are 2 kinds of anointings
a) induvidual...where you spend time in the secret place and in intimacy.
b) corporate...where you go to powerful Holy Ghost meetings and get in that sunomi with the remnant....wow wow wow...nothing like it.

Enjoy the ride. It is truly an adventure.

Ok, he shows us those things to powerfully pray for them.
We pray.
THEN WE TEAR DOWN the work of the enemy.
When shown something like that we go to warfare.
Sever those tentacles of the devil.

People need deliverance.

In Jesus Name....Amen!...thank you, Brother...at one time I couldn’t pray for them as I was bitter....I pray now for them as I know that they are in dire need of prayer.plus I have forgiven them.....there has been much heartache and suffering from all 3 of us...I pray that God brings it all to fulfilment soon..that his will..will soon be done..In Jesus Name..Amen!

All of the promises of God are fulfilled in his perfect timing, according to his wisdom

The prophet is the steadying hand of the church.
The prophetic ministry is intended to be combined with the other offices like a basket weave.
Never designed as a elite entity to recieve accolades of man.
The churches pastors are suppose to SEE the gifts on their flock and call them out.
" that one is a evangelist, that woman is a prophetess, that young man is a teacher" ...and so on.

So upsetting to see the ignorance in the body of Christ.
Tragic

I have had pictures , words and a few revelations over the years- the revelations have both come to pass, one I had to wait over 20 years before it came to happen. I know I often doubted, questioned at times, but often as not it gave me hope. Would I class myself as a seer, not sure be honest because what I have experienced have been few and far between and usually revolved around my own life and family. I would class them as insights.

Maybe this will help: Gaps in the life of a Prophet

That’s encouraging Rita..I’m still waiting for my heart revelation to come to pass.

That’s exactly how it’s been for me....I’ve doubted so many times in the past...especially when I hadn’t heard a thing from God in that area for 25 years.I take that now as in.that he was working in me, he had and has done a lot of healing to my spirit..preparing me for what’s ahead.

You sound like one Rita.

I’ve only ever had that heart revelation after I became Born Again..I don’t class myself as a seer.

Don’t give up hope , I was taken by surprise when it actually came to pass. Xx
I tend to look at seers as being established within the gifting , but having said that I believe the Holy Spirit communicates in ways that we need and understand at times ( on a personal level ) I do have things laid on my heart and often have words that I know are not mine, sometimes this takes the form of feeling the need to communicate something in writing, but like Timothy I am timid. When I first has revelation for my daughter I had to convey a message to her, it took the Lord three attempts !! lol

Sanctify yourself and deny yourself daily to take up the cross of Jesus.
You have to Walk in the Spirit and trust in the Lord in all things. Never worry, ever, stay in the Spirit talking and walking with Jesus. Walk in Love, Jesus loved you and died for you. Be Patience always and show kindness to others, including plants and animals and some insects like butterflies and things of beauty God created for us. You will begin to see more clearly without anger, and lusts of this world. Let go and let God do His work in you . God owns you.
1 Corinthians 6:19.

Yes.Rita...after 25 years of nothing..went Of FB...and there they were, right in my face...long story..4 years of continued communication with them Gods way....then God said to me, no more enough is enough...pulled me out over 10 months ago...haven’t heard a thing since....I’m just waiting and trusting God for the fruit of my labour to come to fruition..in Jesus Name..Amen!

I knew you were timid ..not as a mod...if I can say.,yet, from the posts that I read of yours ( when you do post) you have so much knowledge and wisdom...far more than I have...the forum would benefit from you joining in on other threads...God I believe is encouraging you to post more...take that step of faith and trust God..he has your back.

I used to be very timid at one time as well...believe it or not..I took that step of faith and haven’t looked back...the first step is always the hardest...I used to fear ridicule and rejection...moved on from all that....were in the Spirit...we are not in our own emotions..or we shouldn’t be imo.

I understand that, thanks for sharing..

Sister @Ritajanice. I don't have members on ignore; I am an admin. I don't answer a lot of members mostly because I am busy in real-life ministry as a guest speaker and on a number of forums, including this one. If I get a chance, I will try to answer, but I am going to be up in about 3 hours getting ready for my 3am prayer time with the Lord, which I do daily. I have been meaning to catch up with a sister here for the past two weeks, and hopefully I will be able to do that in the next few days.
I have been noticing and reading some of your visions of late. God has truly been speaking through you. Thank you for finding time to share them here. May God continue to bless you and use you in His work.

I have no understanding of what seer means.

In the secular world, a "seer" is someone who is able to analyze cultural data and predict future social manifestations......often with a lot of accuracy.

Here is another idea of one.......If you want to "play the stock market".. you get an agent who has a deep understanding of the stock market, who can predict what stocks are going to rise and fall.........so, that is a type of "seer".

In the Spiritual Domain.....its a person who has access to the Devil's knowledge, or they have access to the Holy Spirit, in a way that is unique, and not found commonly.

An OT Prophet would be a type of Seer......and the Holy Spirit revealed to them, some future things that came to pass.

For example King David prophecied ....= the HolySpirt showed King David that there was coming a future time when God would not charge SIN to born again Christians., and this is based on The Cross of Christ.
David's prophecy, is found as Paul's teaching......in Romans 4:8
