A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
I WOULD LIKE TO START by saying thank you to my wife, Karen, the most important person in my life. You have been the most profound representation of Jesus I have ever known. Your walk of love, humility, forgiveness, gentleness, and faith challenge me daily. You are the biggest sign in my life that there is a God, because I can see Him in your heart daily. I thank the Lord for such a perfect match for my strengths and weaknesses. The trust that you have in my ability to hear from God causes me to walk in a deeper level of the fear of the Lord.
I would like to honor my parents, Jim and Carolyn Welton. I am so thankful for having parents who are the most humble, affectionate, gentle, kind, and compassionate lovers of God that I have ever seen. I love you both so much.

E NDORSEMENTS
The seer anointing is a current invitation from God for the Church in this hour. It is time for us, like Jesus, to see what our Father in Heaven is doing, and do it! Jon Welton has studied this subject and moved in this realm for many years. In The School of the Seers, he shares insight from the Word of God that will help you grab hold of this anointing.

Jonathan Welton is brilliant. When he teaches, you remember what he has said. Gods Spirit is upon him, and the anointing he carries will impact your life.
Harold R. Eberle
Founder, Worldcast Ministries
We are constantly surrounded by the unseen realm of spiritual forces both good and bad. In his work, The School of the Seers, Jonathan Welton reveals valuable insights on how anyone can sharpen his or her own spiritual discernment. By sharing his precious revelations learned through the study of Scripture, church history, and prayer, Jonathan explains to the conventional Christian how to interact with the unseen realm.

Founder/Executive Director, Eagles Wings Ministries
I have passed on a lot of my gifting and grace to younger men and women in the next generation. Jonathan is one of them. He is prototypical of the prophetic Timothys that I have been honored and privileged to speak into in many countries. Jonathan is clearly an emerging prophetic gift to the Church. His ability to teach and demonstrate the revelatory gifts of the Spirit makes him a true double threat!

Jonathan Weltons The School of the Seers will help you discover that the supernatural can become a normal way of life. In this training manual, Jonathan is speaking from experience, not theory, about the many different aspects of seership. Just as blindness and deafness are serious handicaps in the natural, so are spiritual blindness and deafness in the spirit realm. May you begin to see into the unseen realm as you study this manual.
Gary Oates
Author, Open My Eyes, Lord
International Conference Speaker
I have known Jonathan Welton for years and I appreciate the man, ministry, and message. Jonathan teaches what he knows and reproduces his anointing in others. This book is an impartation from a man who carries the message and mantle of a seer. You cannot separate between what Jonathan teaches and who he is; this gifting is in his DNA. The School of the Seers will open the realm of the invisible so you can do the impossible. This is the gift that will bring the Body of Christ into the supernatural realm. My prayer is, Open my eyes, Lord, so that I might see!
Leif Hetland
Global Mission Awareness
Jonathans bookshelves sag under the weight of material that he has read and that he plans to read. He has always studied to show himself as one approved, and this has given him an understanding of Scripture that is a true blessing to the prophetic/charismatic movement. He is one of the most unique individuals that I have had the honor of knowing. Even with all his wisdom and anointing he has remained personable and transparent, even outside of the spotlight. I have always known him to be beloved of any pastor who meets him. I highly recommend his teaching to all who are hungry.
Rev. Jeffery R. Babajtis
Masters of Divinity, Duke Divinity School
I have been asking the Lord to raise up the next generation of theologians and teachers who will articulate a theology of the Kingdom with signs and wonders to the Body of Christ in the next season. I believe Jonathan Welton is one those new breed of theologians and teachers. He deeply loves the Body of Christ and he carries an anointing for revelation, teaching, and seeing that the Body needs in order to be properly equipped for the days ahead.
Rev. John S. BaylorJr.
Masters of Divinity, Fuller Theological Seminary
Jonathan opens the eyes of his readers to the exciting life that is available to those who learn to see the spirit realm. He powerfully unveils Scripture to show how many of the leaders in the Bible were able to see into the spirit realm, commune with God and receive divine direction. Few others have taught that this is possible for us today as Jonathan has in The School of the Seers.
Dr. Art Mathias
President, Wellspring Ministries
Jonathan Welton has a passion for God that overflows into his teaching and ministry. His teaching allows you to view the power of the Holy Spirit through the lens of Gods Word in new ways.

F OREWORD
J ONATHAN W ELTONS BOOK , The School of the Seers: A PracticalGuide on how to see in the Unseen Realm, is a helpful study for anyone desiring to grow in the prophetic/seer realm. I believe Jonathan is one of the next generation of prophetic ministers. He is well-read, has a great spirit based in love and grace, walks in humility, and has pursued training and advanced degrees in his pursuit of excellence in his gifting and calling.
Jonathan not only writes about the subject, he also models what he teaches by ministering in churches and conferences in the gifts he has written about. I believe Jonathan has learned a lot about character and integrity through healthy role models that began in his home. He comes from a solid family with healthy relationships. He has watched his parents move in prophecy in church and in their ministry. This is such a great foundation to build upon, and it serves him well in his writing, teaching, and prophetic ministry.
