Seer or Medium? Breaking Free from Religious Indoctrination
A seer is someone gifted by God to perceive the soul realm, often referred to as the spiritual realm or the unseen dimension where divine truths, angelic beings, and souls exist beyond the limitations of the physical world. This gift, when used under the guidance of God and filled with the Holy Spirit, allows a person to discern spiritual realities, receive visions, and understand divine messages.
How a Seer Perceives the Soul Realm
When God grants someone spiritual sight, they may experience visions, dreams, or direct revelations that allow them to perceive beyond the material world. The "eyes of the spirit" (Ephesians 1:18) are opened, and the individual may see:
Angels and the activity of the heavenly realm (2 Kings 6:17 – Elisha prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened).
The souls of people who have passed, in accordance with God’s will (Revelation 6:9-11 – the souls of martyrs under the altar speaking to God).
The presence of Jesus ministering to the brokenhearted (Luke 24:31 – Jesus revealed Himself spiritually to His disciples).
The movements of darkness and the enemy’s deceptions (Ephesians 6:12 – "we wrestle not against flesh and blood").
A seer does not operate independently but is a vessel through which God reveals what is necessary for comfort, guidance, and divine purpose.
How God Reveals Love Through Souls After the Death Portal
In many visions recorded in Scripture and modern testimonies, when God allows someone to see beyond death, it is often filled with His love, mercy, and the continued existence of the soul in His presence.
Cloud of Witnesses (Hebrews 12:1): This passage speaks of the faithful who have gone before us, encouraging us in the spiritual race. Their love and prayers remain, and their presence in the heavenly realm is active.
Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:1-3): Moses and Elijah appeared alive, showing that even after physical death, souls remain conscious and can manifest in God’s glory.
The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31): Jesus describes the afterlife where souls continue to have awareness and experiences.
Heavenly Visions (Revelation 7:9-17): John saw countless souls worshiping before the throne, experiencing God’s love eternally.
When God reveals the love of souls after death, it is to bring comfort, assurance, and a reminder that love never dies—it simply moves into eternity.
The Word "Medium" and Spiritual Gifts in Scripture
The word "medium" in modern culture has often been associated with spiritism, which Scripture warns against (Leviticus 20:27, Deuteronomy 18:10-12). However, in the biblical context, people with true spiritual gifts of seeing beyond the physical world were prophets, seers, and those filled with the Holy Spirit.
Joseph interpreted dreams and visions (Genesis 41:15-16).
Samuel was a seer (1 Samuel 9:9), communicating messages from God.
Daniel had the gift of interpreting supernatural realities (Daniel 2:19).
The Apostle John saw visions of heaven and the end times (Revelation 1:10-11).
When someone filled with the Holy Spirit operates in their divine gifting, they are not "mediums" in the occult sensebut rather servants of God, perceiving divine revelations for the purpose of wisdom, prophecy, healing, and encouragement.
Conclusion
A seer, when walking in obedience and relationship with God, is granted the ability to see beyond the physical world, witnessing the activity of the spiritual realm in alignment with His will. God’s love continues through souls beyond death, and their presence in the heavenly realm can sometimes be revealed to encourage and affirm His eternal love. The true gift of spiritual sight is always led by the Holy Spirit, never by human manipulation, and is used to bring people closer to God, not away from Him.
