Is Your Desire Too Weak to Succeed? The Bible’s Shocking Answer

Why do some people keep praying, planning, and trying:yet never move forward?

The Bible answers many overlooked questions: achievement begins with desire, not talent, opportunity, or ability.

Desire is not mere wishing. Scripture reveals it as a spiritual force:a deep, driving hunger that moves a person toward action, sacrifice, and perseverance. When desire is rightly ordered, it becomes a God-given engine for obedience, fruitfulness, and God-glorifying achievement. When misdirected or weak, it quietly sabotages faith and progress.

In this teaching, we examine Desire: The Starting Point of All Achievement through the lens of Scripture, comparing biblical truth with modern success principles and submitting everything to God’s will. You’ll discover why God does not rebuke desire:but judges its object:and how sanctified desire leads to discipline, clarity, and lasting fruit.

📖 Key Scriptures Covered:

• Psalm 37:4 : Delighting in the Lord and purified desires

• Matthew 6:21 : What your desire reveals about your heart

• Matthew 5:6 : Hungering and thirsting after righteousness

• Proverbs 13:4 : Why weak desire produces weak action

• Habakkuk 2:2 : Writing the vision

• Joshua 1:8 : Speaking and meditating on God’s Word

🔥 In this video, you will learn:

• Why people fail not from lack of ability, but lack of holy intensity

• The difference between godly desire and selfish ambition

• How desire fuels discipline, planning, and perseverance

• Why surrendering your goals to God changes everything

The question is not whether you desire, but whether your desire is strong enough and surrendered enough to move you.
