In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, God's precious promises.

What would you think about a person who was very, very wealthy, and yet was always complaining about not having enough.

And you look at them and you think, wait a minute, nobody's wealthy, but look how he dresses.

Or look what he drives, look where he lives.

You wonder, well, it doesn't quite match.

In other words, if he has all of that,

why does he act the way he acts? And so you have to ask yourself the question, well, does he not

know that he's wealthy? Does he not believe that he's wealthy? Does he not know how to cash in on

his wealth?

What's wrong with a person who lives that kind of life?

Well, something definitely is wrong, but I know a lot of believers who are the same way.

They are very wealthy, but they don't act like it.

They don't claim it.

I think because they don't believe it, because either they've never been taught, or

somewhere along the way they missed this awesome truth.

And when I think about how clear God has made His Word and the awesome way He has provided

for us.

And yet people oftentimes act like they're pauperous.

Or act like, you know, I just never have enough.

God's left me out.

God doesn't understand what my needs are.
