Many people today do not know the difference between a prophet and a seer. A prophet has the gift of prophesy and speaks to a group of people based upon what God has given him/her to say. Whereas a seer is given the gift to 'see' the supernatural. That could include: vivid dreams, visions, or the ability to see 'in between space.'
There is so little written regarding the 'seer' and the web is bombarded with so much information regarding prophetic messages, yet, the information is grouped together and many people believe a seer and a prophet are one in the same. Be cautious of information that is circulating about 'seers' because if that information is not bilblical based then you are being misled. It is my goal to bring to the forefront the difference. If the information is not biblical based then it is on the darker side such as mediums and psychics. I am not a psychic or medium. I do not believe everyone has this gift of spiritual insight and the ability to see the supernatural.
I believe in the supernatural world, but I also know the dangers of worshipping angels and being deceved by the darkness of this world.
"Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such people also go into great detail about what they have seen, and their unspiritual minds puff up with idle notions. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grow as God causes it to grow" Colossians 2:18-19
The gift of propehesy is especially important. the Apostle Paul when writing and preaching to the Corinthians told them, "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. Those who prophesy speak to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and comfort. Those who speak in tongue edify themselves, but those who prophesy edify the church. Those who prophesy are greater than those who speak in tongues, unless they interpret, so that the church may be edified; I Corinthians 14:1-5
Paul emphasized the edification of the church and the importance of prophesy to the church;Therefore, he says to be eager to prophesy.Obviously, the importance of prophesy is so profound that the church craves this gift for edification and uplifting when they are becoming discouraged.
Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
2 Samuel 24:10-12
The LORD said to Gad, David’s seer,

"Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
Now to each on the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another gifts of faith, by the same Spirit the gift of healing, by the same Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and so still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one , just as he determines." I Corinthians 12:1-11

There is a difference between 'seer' and prophet but sometimes this spiritual gift is combined based upon spiritual maturity. Gad was only a 'seer' not a prophet at this time. Your own perception of seer and prophet will be given upon our own revelation of biblical scriptures. Seek and you shall find the answers.
