Same with me. I ask God a question, then the answer pops up. Just like that. When I am quiet and not distracted. Also, I have known things before they happen. Unless it's actually happened to you personally, it's hard to believe. But when it happens to you, you can't deny it. When you tell your husband and best friend that you think a specific and very unlikely thing is going to happen, and then 2 weeks later it does, you can't dismiss it.  I'm not talking about predicting which team will win the game. I mean predicting something specific that is not likely to happen, not even something you would even think of, and then you get this idea that it will happen, and it does. Oh, and twice, I desperately needed money (not even really for myself, but for my family), and prayed for it, totally trusted, didn't doubt, and it came in a very direct and unexpected way, both times. First time was $5,000 and the next time was $70,000. It was unbelievable, except that I had believed. So when it happened, I just said, "See? He answers prayers." FYI, He doesn't answer your prayer to win the lottery. I wouldn't pray for that, anyway. Again, your experiences are not as unusual as you might think. In certain circles of aware and enlightened people, it would be considered normal.
