Very real answers here. "Hard cash in my hand" from strangers, one of whom told me "Jesus told them to bless me". The other time from someone who never came forward to say they gave me the money. $300 and $200 respectively. No one knew I had .50cents to my name. No one knew I was on E. No one knew I needed to pay my babysitter...except God.
The spiritual answers and physical healing are more important but the nonbeliever needs some cold facts.

Befor I got Saved, my mind was Blinded by satan.
I was on the Wrong Side of the Fence and could not "Believe" in GOD Almighty.
After GOD pushed back that Blindness and gave me a Chance to Accept Jesus--when I said ''Yes to Jesus" my spirit was Recreated and my Mind was Free of that Blindess.
I know that I know that I know Jesus is Lord.
Now, I had to Start Growing Up in the Lord.
I Started Learning How to use Faith.
I have grown alot!
I have had Real Answers to Prayer, especially when Other Believers "Agree" together with me!
GOD gave all Human Beings through Adam "Authority" on the Earth.
Then, Adam kicked GOD out of the Earth! (legally)
When Saved Human Beings Pray, they are really giving The Creator---Legal Verbal Access into the Earth to Help People.

I could tell you of many times when my prayers have been answered! I can also say that some of the answers to my prayers were NO's too! However, when I look back at the no's....I can see the perfect wisdom God's will was for my life!
The peace, I have when I communicate (pray), is by NO means a "placebo" response or, lack thereof! My soul knows when it's creator is talking with me, refining me, carrying me, restoring the joy of my salvation and on and on! Once experiencing, God, through prayer, worship, etc...there is no denying Him and the POWER of our prayers!

God always answers my prayer. Tuesday I was watching the 700 Club and told Him that I wish I could go to church on Sunday (I have to work). By the end of the program, my co-worker called and wanted to change days, which gives me Sundays off. He knows the very cries of our hearts.

IN A NUTSHEEL PRAYER IS COMMUNICATION AND IN EVERY COMMUNICATIO THERE I A FEED BACK.
YOU ARE THE COMMUNICATOR, GOD IS THE RECIPIENT.
THIS IS TO TELL YOU THAT EACH TIME YOU PRAY ( COMMUNICATE), GOD ANSWRES ( FEEDBACK).
THE ANSWER MIGHT BE A SILENCE, NO OR YES.
DO YOU KNOW SILENCE IN ENGKISH LANGUAGE MEANS COMPLIANCE, OR...
SO, GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS AND YOU KNOW ITS GOD AT WORK WHEN THE FEEDBACK COMES.

It does seem to perform similarly to the subject-expectancy effect (placebo) in clinical research.

It is not a optical illusion. It is a mental delusion.
