Scripture: I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets (Hosea 12:10, KJV).
Explanation:
We will continue today, day 25 of the 31 days of this series called ‘The Lord Spoke’. We will gain further understanding of the other ways by which the Lord speaks to His people leading tous ‘hearing the Voice of God’, more importantly by a Seer or the Prophet of God.God says in the scripture that: “I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets” (Hosea 12:10, KJV).
With regards to prophetic ministry, there is the gift of prophecy, the spirit of prophecy, Ministry of a prophet and office of a prophet. There are not many differences between a seer or a prophet. However, (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). And God Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11). God Himself called and raised people to be prophets.The Ministry of a Prophet is an indispensable ministry in the church, Society and Nations even today. This is because ‘by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved’ (Hosea 12:13). In addition, but he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men (1 Corinthians 14:3).
Here are a few other examples of the scriptures expounding on Hearing from God – By a Seer or the Prophet of God:
Example by Prophets at Antioch: Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away (Acts 13:1-3).

Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19).
