Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, June 28th.

How do you discern between needs and desires?

Today's podcast continues the Life Principal Series to help you understand why that's such a

critical question. One of the most popular themes in the Bible has to do with God

answering prayer, meeting our needs.

And when you think about that, you think about the fact that we all have needs,

we have physical needs, we have emotional needs, we have spiritual needs,

when I think about meeting... social needs, we have spiritual needs.

When I think about meeting needs and think about so much of what God has said about it,

there's some very important things to remember because a lot of people say well you know what I've asked

God to meet my needs and I still have them I've prayed and prayed and God hadn't met my

needs so if he's a need meter why doesn't he meet my needs?

What's going on?

Is there something wrong with God or is there something wrong with us?

So I want to talk about this whole issue of the fact that God assumes full responsibility for meeting our needs when we obey

him. So I want you to turn to Philippians the fourth chapter and the book of

Philippians is a book all about positive things.

It's joy.

And when Paul comes to this fourth chapter,

he ends up thanking the people in Philip I

for what they've done for him and it's from this chapter

I want us I notice several things.
