Audra Raines didn’t wake up and proclaim herself a prophet to the nations. Instead, she spent years resisting her calling while trying to make sense of the visions she was receiving from God. Raines shares her pilgrimage in Journey of a Seer, and we see how being in a healthy spiritual community with encouraging leaders contributes to spiritual growth.
Who is Audra Raines?
Audra Raines pastors the Church of Acts in Corpus Christi, Texas, alongside her husband, Ross Raines. She leans heavily into the prophetic and does not shy away from her past life as a less-than-holy individual in her book. In fact, Raines creates a structure that allows the reader to see how her life as an unsaved individual led her to accept her calling as a prophet.Â
The Journey To Seer
In many ways, Journey of A Seer reads like a build-up. Every chapter is one piece of Audra’s journey that leads up to the prophetic vision she describes at the end of the book.Â
One can certainly appreciate Raines’ honesty throughout her carefully crafted narrative. She does not shy away from the doubts she’s had while growing into a prophet. She instead shares her discrepancies with us so we can get a clear picture of the process that comes after surrender.
The Importance Of Community For Seers
One aspect of Audra Raines’ life that she highlights in her book is community. The author conveys the importance of being in a healthy church with safe leaders by sharing how much these factors have contributed to her growth as a seer and Christian overall.
Journey of A Seer is for Christians who believe they are called to the prophetic. You can get an up-close-and-personal look at what it means to surrender to God and be used by Him as a seer through Audra’s story.Â
