IMO it was your own determination, ingenuity, and intuition that has led to the success of your business and inventions. And you're always saying you didn't do well at school but so what? Some people are better with their hands. And the fact that you self-taught yourself loads of stuff only shows more your determination... something to be admired.
And I can't remember exactly what you said but it was a friend? of yours that gave you some money, which you saw as an answer to prayer and/or prophecy? Did he give it to you as a gift or was he investing in your business? Either way I think this time you're not giving your friend enough credit... if you attribute it to God. My guess is he saw your potential and determination... like if you went on The Apprentice with the attitude and determination you've described, I bet Alan Sugar would snap you up in a heartbeat.
Not to mention I can't see how you can attribute the actions of your friend to God anyway, given that he gave it to you out of his own free will which, under your system, God doesn't mess with. And as for your innovations, did you understand the ideas that came to you? If you did, that just shows subconscious intuition in progress... your brain working behind the scenes putting the pieces together, ready for a light bulb moment.
IMO it's all you.
A perfect example of how religion is a parasite.
