This was a fascinating read to me. The Holy Spirit uses Jonathan to impart some amazing insight regarding the unseen realm, along with some terrific and practical godly wisdom. This book is worth keeping handy because it's worth going back to, again... and again.

Insightful book with a significant exercise of activation at the end of chapters. Affirms that God is all about signs and wonders. Gives more understanding to the supernatural and spiritual realm. Great book!

This book has helped me understand how God uses me in this way. I have experienced alot of these things on my walk with God and this book has helped train me even more. Such a misunderstood gift that we should embrace.

This book was a waste of money. He sounded like he was "tooting his own horn" rather than sharing wisdom. His knowledge was shallow and elementary, and inaccurate in many places.

Although I believe that his experiences may be true,he fails to educate properly on the topic.

This book was fantastic! I've been meaning to read it since July, so much truth and biblically-sound wisdom to help me press in deeper with my spiritual walk. Just what I needed.

I have to admit I did not finish this book. I concluded reading it though. I do not know how it made it into my book pile, but there it was. Upon even opening the book I had an uneasy feeling. When people begin talking about seeing spirits, losing bodily control, having visions, and faith healing etc. You might say I consider every word they utter with an extremely high degree of skepticism.

This realm of people if filled with wolves and pit vipers looking to cash in on the faithful. I decided to look up the author and blamo, it did not take much effort to see all is not well in his life. This is not even the worst of it. People sin and none are free of it. The problem I have for this man is it looks like his desire to milk people wanting an honest and faithful relationship with Jesus has not departed him. When a man falls in his ministry, and I use that term loosely with those of the NAR typology, they have forever removed themselves from the ability to represent God as a minister.

There is nothing worse in Christianity than men who forfeit their honor, shame their Lord, and then refuse to be humble and faithful servants of the church. So many time people like this cannot avoid getting out front and receiving praise and dollars. They want to lead, but they forfeited that option.

So, no, I do not recommend this book or anything coming from this new age movement. Reject it and those who promote it as the enemy of the Church and Jesus. I just put this book where it belongs, in the trash.

I wish that I would have taken more time with this book and the activation aspect of it, but it was interesting to talk about seer and prophet and the ways they play out differently. I never thought of discernment of spirits as meaning seeing in the spirit but it was interesting to learn of his experiences.
I loved what he said about “You have a responsibility for the revelation you carry. Greater revelation the greater accountability of stewardship.” I’ve never thought about that when it came to amount of revelation. Or maybe I did but never thought of it as the weight it actually carries when we ask for new gifts in the spirit and what it means to receive them and how to use wisdom when speaking about things because revelation in front of the wrong people can lead to gross misunderstanding that can lead to death (or attempted) like joseph with his brothers.

Amazing practical advice for seeing in the Kingdom realm

I loved everything in this comprehensive book on seers and prophets and seeing in the Kingdom realm. I wish Jonathan would have gone in more detail about his personal experience with the month of seeing in the kingdom realm. I heard him talk about that experience in a podcast once and he went in a little more detail, so I wish there would have been more of that.

It was well written and easy to read. I enjoyed it. It has inspired me to go to an higher level in my trust relationship with God, allowing Him open my spiritual eyes so that I can see better in the Spirit. I appreciate the practical parts that Jonathan has added to help apply those things he has taught or revealed in the chapter before.

The level of spiritual revelation was more advanced and yet kept simple and to the point.

Thank you Jonathan.

I enjoyed this book and really gained a lot from it. The only reason I rated it a 4 rather than 5 is that in a couple of places I thought Jonathan made a huge stretch in his interpretation of Scripture in order to make a point.

I really enjoyed this book, I had not heard of the Author prior to this book, I found it online, read the book, and then giften a couple copies to a couple of friend that I knew would benefit from it. I like Jonathan's approach to teaching, he explains everything in simple english. Also it was nice to see that others are having similar experiences in the supernatural without all the sensationalism that appears to be more common than not, lastly I should mention that a few comments he made in this book regarding the 'rapture' prompted me to read his other books, I was not disapointed.

I loved this book and had a hard time not rushing through it. I had to slow myself down so I could really learn and experience every chapter through the activation sections.
This book is a practical guide for people who have or want the gift of discernment or what the Bible calls "discerning of Spirits". Everything he teaches in this book he backs up with scripture. He also gives practical exercises to help activate the gift of discernment in you. I highly recommend this book if you feel you have a SEER gift or want to experience more of this gift.

This book was a real blessing and it was definitely encouraging. I have never really been "spooked out" by the spiritual world but coming from a western-rationalize-everything-away culture, it was refreshing to read about the unseen realm. It is definitely not an exhaustive study but covers enough to get a thorough understanding. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable to experience such thoughts of others who have been given understanding in this realm as well. Worth the read.

I was told to stop reading with three chapters remaining for yet another time.

Technically I have not completely the book in its entirety, however, I have read what has been given unto me at this time.

I have gleaned so many things from this book and it is one that I plan on referencing and going back to in the future. This was a very worth while read and so needed in the Body of Christ today! This book like no other explains the gift of discerning of spirits in full detail and how to stir that gift inside of us all. So glad I read it!

This is the second time I've read this book. It is more about a deeper Christian life than seeing.

"In fact, I believe that the main objective of our spiritual growth is understanding our identity more and more."

"Growth is about understanding your identity. It is growth into what we already have received."

This booked confirmed a lot of things for me. It was nice to have someone who already is operating in a prophetic realm magnitudes higher than your own to help you along. It wasn't a huge revelation for me, but I did get a lot out of it.

Really good book full of practical insights on the gift of the discerning of the Spirit. A lot of reminders of things the
Lord has already shown, but good to be stirred up in these things. I recommend it.
