Pretty much. Or God is telling me about things I kind of recognized anyway (God's telling me there's a problem in your relationship). Or things that are generic enough that they can fit into many situations.. patterns that fake psychics use for example. Not that I consciously studied and used such patterns but it's just natural to gravitate towards things that work.

For a while I used to carry a randomly generated number in my wallet, and when people would talk to me about returning to God I would say if God tells them the number and they told me at it matched that would go a long way to me returning to my beliefs.

Of course that descends into arguments about free will... but I have more proof my wife exists and I don't think knowing she exists to the certainty I do violates my free will much.
