Are preminitions or whatever they are called witchcraft for are they a gift from the holy spirit?
If they are only witchcraft explain how the prophet who speaks in revelations saw such details of the future.

They can be from either, the difficult part is knowing which is the source. If you are praying about something and the 'premonition' comes it should be safe to assume it is from the Holy Spirit. If it just comes to you for no reason then prayer should follow to see if you can get a confirmation. You can also look at the message, does it build up the body of Christ or does it tear it down? Sometimes it is very difficult to know the difference. I cannot stress how important prayer is in the matter.

i've gotten many. i think maybe some brains can just pick-up frequencies from other dimensions. don't laugh, there are others who believe the same.

I certainly believe some can pick up these premonitions better than others. But remember, they either come from Satan or God, there is no other source. Those who focus on Satan will pick up those easier, those who focus on God will pick up those easier. Satan may try to confuse people, that is why it is important to know God's voice. Jesus said His sheep will know His voice. Stay in prayer and be watchful.

they've always come true. the devil doesn't speak the truth. but, i didn't know they were premonitions until they came true. i always thought about God afterword, "God, i can't believe this. how did i know that?" no time to pray.
