Thread: according to christians? the Holy Spirit has many gifts and one of them it's

the spirit of prophecy? so the pastors or christians can say prophecies?

yes.

By the power of the Holy Spirit.

My pastor received one, & it DID come true!

the Holy Spirit isn't something like a magic 8 ball. He is a person. Just like you choose to give gifts to those whom you love, the Holy Spirit chooses to give the gift of prophecy to some of His children. None of the gifts can be taught to another person (some churches try to teach people to speak in tongues or prophesy run quickly away from such a place it is false) because it's a gift, a present not a skill that you learn. To find out more, read the 13th chapter of the book called 1 Corinthians. It's toward the end of the Bible.
