CONTRASTING THE TWO FLOWS
The prophet often operates in the public assembly: declaring, preaching, proclaiming. The seer often operates in private prayer: watching, waiting, recording. The prophet may be more comfortable in front of crowds. The seer may be more comfortable in the secret place.
The prophet speaks and the word goes forth like a sword.
The seer sees and the knowledge becomes intercession — praying what they see, writing what they see, and releasing it into the earth.
"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved." — Habakkuk 2:1
Notice Habakkuk's language: 'watch to see.' He is not waiting to hear a sermon. He is standing at his watchtower, looking out, watching with intentional focus. This is the seer's primary posture. The watchtower is the place of prayer and stillness; the field of vision is the realm of the Spirit.
WHY BOTH ARE NEEDED
The Body of Christ needs both the prophetic voice and the seer eye. We need those who will declare what God is saying AND those who will show what God is revealing. We need the word that is preached AND the vision that is written down. We need the boldness of the prophet AND the depth of the seer.
The most dangerous man or woman in the Kingdom is one who both hears and sees — who combines the spoken word of the prophet with the visual revelation of the seer. This combination produces world-shaking ministry. But it begins with knowing what you are and developing that primary grace before adding layers to it.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." — Proverbs 29:18
