I asked for a car and two days later someone gave me a car. Well, actually someone else prayed for me that I would get a car. But I have experiences like that all the time.

Someone only asked once. It was not like I was praying and praying and praying to get a car and someone gave it to me. Someone asked that I could get a car and then I received one two days later. Have you ever had someone basically foretell that you would receive a car?

But I have lived like that for years and years, I have had many answered prayers. God showed me images of my entire life and how he judged each situation.

Kinda makes me wonder if god plays favourites. I mean, did you need that car particularly badly? Surely there's kids in Africa to feed, or Mexican people getting massacred by drug cartels who need saving?

Also getting a car off someone doesn't seem like much of a miracle if you think about it. Getting a flying car, maybe. Or receiving a car with a note on the dashboard saying "Heard your prayer, keep up the good word - Your ever loving Creator,God".
That's kind of in the same league as walking on water and curing people of blindness, if you see where I'm coming from. Getting a car seems a little mundane in comparison. Could be misconstrued by the casual observer as a bit of a coincidence, you know?
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
