00:16Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Authentic Authority show.
00:24Hello, I am your host, Pastor Dr. Donald Schofield, and then, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen,
00:39we have a message for you.
00:42This message is about, titled, Unanswered Prayers, Wants vs. Needs.
00:54Yeah, and some people have been saying, God shall supply my needs according to his riches
01:04and glory.
01:08Or, in this case, he knows my needs before I even ask him.
01:16But, here's the thing, how can God supply your needs if you don't even know what you want?
01:28You don't even know what you want at all.
01:34Here's the thing, God cannot read your mind.
01:40Most people think that God is just an unknowing thing, an unknowing person.
01:48But, talk about something, God knows my heart, heart, and all my needs.
01:57First of all, if God knows your heart and all your needs, you will be happy.
02:05You will be stuck out miserable.
02:12You will not know what to do, and a lost cause.
02:23Now, the verse I'm going to be going to say is Mark chapter 10, verse 51.
02:39It says, so Jesus answered and said to him, what do you want me to do for you?
02:52I'm going to stop right there.
02:54Here's the key word, want.
02:57Want me.
02:59Who is this want me?
03:01Who is this me?
03:02Jesus.
03:06Well, he, he, Jesus can't read your mind.
03:11I can't read your mind.
03:13Jesus can't read your mind.
03:16And for all the people who want proof about how God exists,
03:23just have to want him.
03:25Have to want him to exist.
03:29Atone as your wants.
03:32Instead of just predicting that God is just up on his throne, on his throne laughing at you,
03:41like this kind of monster, just punishing you.
03:45No, God is not like that.
03:47At all.
03:50God wants you to come to him.
03:53Come to him.
03:55He says, come boldly to the throne of grace.
04:00Then you may help others in their time of need.
04:03He also says, in Philemon, chapter 1, verse 14, without your mind.
04:23In the New King James Version says, without your mind, I wanted to do nothing.
04:36So that your good deeds may not be by compulsion, it may not be by force, as it was called,
04:46but voluntarily.
04:49But you have to want to do nothing.
04:52But you have to want to do it.
04:52To do it.
04:53It is not a need for it.
04:56It is like being a cheerful giver.
04:59You can't just give, give tithes, tithes to just anybody.
05:07And expect, just expect, expect for it, do not be on good soul.
05:14Expect for it.
05:17You do not get your money back.
05:20But, yes, I know, I know, because I've been there myself.
05:28That, that actually, I gave, and I gave, I gave all the money, but nothing, but I ended up broke.
05:42If you ended up broke, here you keep, I ended up broke.
05:50The key thing that you know broke is, you just learn how to sow on good ground.
05:57Ground, but you got to find out what that good ground is.
06:02Ground.
06:04You can't give your money to just anybody.
06:09But, that's why it says in Malachi chapter 3, the storehouse.
06:15The storehouse.
06:16When they need to be food for God's house.
06:19Not the preacher's house.
06:23They need to be food for the kingdom of heaven.
06:30They need to be food for the church.
06:32They need to be food for the church.
06:34They need to help the church buildings out.
06:38They need to help, help the community out.
06:41They need to be food for the church.
06:48They need to help.
07:10God is just going to sit back, sit back and say, hey, I'm not going to do anything unless, unless
07:25you tell me what you want.
07:31Jesus is saying the same thing, what, in Mark, chapter 10, verse 51, same verse, what do you, you, yes,
07:47you, and that includes myself as well,
07:50what do you want Jesus to do for you, what do you want God to do for you, you, if
08:04you don't want God to do nothing,
08:05then, he's just, just sit there and wait, he's there and wait for you, until you, until you ask for
08:19what you want, you want him to do, him to do for you, not for nobody else,
08:29nobody else, you think I'm asking, well, worrying, not getting it, because you ask, it's a miss, it's been on
08:37your own pleasure,
08:39because you ask, a miss, it means to ask for other people, for their blessings,
08:46so that you may, so you may abandon your blessings, may abandon what you want,
08:57abandon your wants and needs, God can give you what you need, Jesus can give you what you need,
09:08all you got to do is just open your mouth, and tell them what you want from it, personally, this
09:18is why,
09:21ministry wise, even in life,
09:27this is Pastor, Dr. Thomas O'Fill, this is Authentic Authority, and I'll see you all, next time,
