Today we continue studying Mosiah 8 and consider the explanation Ammon gives about the difference between a seer and a prophet. We consider how we can be prophets within our own spheres of influence and what the blessings of having seers on the Earth today is. 

Book of Mormon Central: Ammon drew a distinction between prophethood and seership. A prophet, a spokesperson for God, can with divine authority foretell what would, could, or should occur if people behave in certain ways (such as promised blessings for keeping the commandments or promised woes for falling into apostate behavior).1 While each dispensation has great Prophets (capital P) who stand at the head of God’s covenant people or God’s church with priesthood keys, individuals, both men and women, can act as prophets or prophetesses (lowercase P) in their respective lives, families, and ecclesiastical roles
