I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.
I’m a simple person, not particularly bad and not particularly good, with successes and failures, with virtues and vices in all areas of life.
On the other hand, more than once I knew for sure future things.
Statistically, they don’t have a probability of even 1 in a million.
A kind of inner feeling of certainty that something will happen.
For example, my wife would be someone who lives on certain streets in a certain city, her parents are so-and-so. This is a rare and almost impossible picture for several reasons (she is probably the only one in the country who meets the conditions, probably narrowed down to 1 out of several dozen families living in the same place that I ‘knew’ she lived in…) And indeed, this was the first proposal. I knew in advance that it was mine because she answered exactly to my ‘news’.
By the way, looking back decades, she is the only one in the world, without any exaggeration, who could answer the strange and rare coincidence that I knew would happen.
In general, psychology will deny it and tell me that it’s a myth and maybe a bunch of other advice that is factually incorrect.
And a bunch of other things I knew in advance
It was a period of several years gone and maybe it will come back again.
I searched and found that Rabbi Aviner, in his book Between Light and Darkness, Between Rabbis and Fake Rebbe, writes that it is possible for ordinary people to receive prophecy.
What does the rabbi think about that?
What am I supposed to do with this?
(I would ask Rabbi Aviner, who I am close to, but he is a kind of Bibbist and Gaoli, and I am suspicious of the judgment of someone who has drifted into the “I am a bully” cult.)

Rabbi, if what the questioner is saying is truly true, isn't this a question about free choice? After all, his choices did not turn out to be a reality, but rather the reality of his life and his future was a necessity.
I do not enter into such discussions. In any case, this does not contradict choice. At most, there are cases in which the outcome is dictated. The Maimonides in the Epistle rejects the Gemara of the day before the creation of the child, arguing that a person has a choice in the days of a mitzvah and that mating is a mitzvah.
