The Seer Anointing Session 3

Applying the principles of the seer anointing to spiritual growth and ministry involves cultivating your relationship with God, sharpening your spiritual sensitivity, and responsibly using this gift to serve others. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to integrate these principles into your life:

1. Cultivate Intimacy with God

A close relationship with God is foundational for spiritual growth and receiving divine insight.

a) Prayer and Worship

• Spend time daily in prayer, worship, and quiet reflection.
• Ask God to open your spiritual eyes and ears to His guidance, like Habakkuk:”I will stand upon my watch… and will watch to see what he will say unto me.” (Habakkuk 2:1, KJV)

b) Fasting

• Fasting heightens spiritual awareness and helps align your heart with God’s will.
• Example: Daniel fasted and prayed for understanding (Daniel 10:2-3, 12).

c) Surrender and Obedience

• Be willing to surrender your will to God and obey His instructions, no matter how challenging.

2. Study and Meditate on God’s Word

Scripture is the primary filter for interpreting visions, dreams, and revelations.

a) Daily Bible Reading

• Study the Word to understand God’s character and principles.
• Meditate on passages related to prophecy and spiritual insight (e.g., Joel 2:28, Daniel 7, Acts 2).

b) Use the Bible as a Foundation

• Any revelation you receive must align with Scripture. If it contradicts God’s Word, it is not from Him.
• Example: The Bereans examined the Scriptures daily to verify teachings (Acts 17:11).

3. Sharpen Your Spiritual Sensitivity

The seer anointing requires spiritual discernment to perceive God’s messages clearly.

a) Ask for Spiritual Vision

• Pray for God to open your spiritual eyes, as Elisha did for his servant:”Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.” (2 Kings 6:17, KJV)

b) Recognize God’s Voice

• Learn to distinguish God’s voice from your thoughts, emotions, or external influences (John 10:27).

c) Practice Stillness

• Create quiet times to listen for God’s voice without distraction (Psalm 46:10).

4. Test and Interpret Visions and Revelations

Be cautious and diligent in discerning and interpreting divine messages.

a) Test the Spirit

• Follow John’s command to test the origin of spiritual messages:”Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.” (1 John 4:1, KJV)

b) Seek Wise Counsel

• Share your visions or insights with trusted spiritual mentors or church leaders for confirmation and guidance (Proverbs 11:14).

c) Be Humble

• Recognize that interpretation comes from God, not personal wisdom.
• Example: Daniel attributed his ability to God:”There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets.” (Daniel 2:28, KJV)

5. Serve Others Through Your Gift

The seer anointing is meant to edify and guide the Body of Christ.

a) Use Your Gift for Ministry

• Share revelations that encourage, warn, or guide individuals or groups.
• Example: Nathan the seer corrected David with wisdom and grace (2 Samuel 12:1-14).

b) Intercede for Others

• Use visions and spiritual insights as a basis for intercessory prayer.
• Example: Ezekiel’s visions led him to warn Israel and call them to repentance (Ezekiel 33).

c) Encourage and Edify

• Prophetic insights should always build up the Church:”He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.” (1 Corinthians 14:3, KJV)

6. Stay Accountable

Accountability keeps your gifting rooted in truth and humility.

a) Remain Connected to the Church

• Be part of a local church where your gift can grow under spiritual oversight (Hebrews 10:25).

b) Accept Correction

• Be open to correction and guidance from trusted leaders (Proverbs 27:6).

c) Avoid Pride

• Remember that the seer anointing is a gift from God, not a mark of superiority (Ephesians 4:7).

7. Discern and Avoid Counterfeits

Spiritual gifts, including the seer anointing, can be mimicked by counterfeit spirits. Stay vigilant.

a) Stay Rooted in God’s Spirit

• Rely on the Holy Spirit to discern truth from deception (John 16:13).

b) Avoid Divination

• Do not confuse the seer anointing with practices like fortune-telling or occultic visions, which are condemned in Scripture (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

8. Grow Through Experience

Like any spiritual gift, the seer anointing develops through use.

a) Document Revelations

• Keep a journal of dreams, visions, and impressions. Reflect on their meaning and fulfillment over time.

b) Learn from Biblical Seers

• Study the lives and ministries of seers in the Bible, such as Samuel, Nathan, and John, for insights into how they operated in their gift.

c) Be Patient

• Spiritual gifts mature over time. Trust God’s timing and process.

Example: Applying the Seer Anointing in Ministry

Imagine you receive a vision during prayer of someone struggling with fear. Here’s how to apply the principles:

1. Pray for Discernment: Ask God to confirm the vision and give understanding.
2. Test It with Scripture: Ensure the message aligns with God’s Word (e.g., 2 Timothy 1:7 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear”).
3. Intercede in Prayer: Stand in the gap for the individual, praying for freedom and peace.
4. Share with Wisdom: If prompted, gently share the insight to encourage or guide them.

By staying rooted in Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, and accountable to the Body of Christ, you can use the seer anointing for personal growth and as a powerful tool for ministry. Let me know how you’d like to start applying these steps, and I can help further!
