When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, they saw a group of prophets coming toward them. Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy.
1Sa 19:19
When the report reached Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah, he sent troops to capture him. But when they arrived and saw Samuel leading a group of prophets who were prophesying, the Spirit of God came upon Saul’s men, and they also began to prophesy. When Saul heard what had happened, he sent other troops, but they, too, prophesied! The same thing happened a third time. Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah and arrived at the great well in Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he demanded.
“They are at Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. But on the way to Naioth in Ramah the Spirit of God came even upon Saul, and he, too, began to prophesy all the way to Naioth! He tore off his clothes and lay naked on the ground all day and all night, prophesying in the presence of Samuel. The people who were watching exclaimed, “What? Is even Saul a prophet?”
Notice how spending time in fellowship with prophetic people imparts prophetic gifting. Here we see Saul who was not naturally prophetic prophesy when in the company of prophets
It was not an isolated incident either. The spirit of God came upon some of Saul's men at Naioth in Ramah. The news went back to Saul and he sent other soldiers and they too began to prophesy. Saul himself traveled to Naioth and asked where Samuel and David were, He went to join them and he too began to prophesy.
If you want to develop a prophetic gifting then seek out prophetic people to fellowship with
Amen
