The Desire And The Power

The Desire and The Power 1. How many of you wanted to be a movie star when you were younger? What stopped you? Many people have the desire to be a movie star or a professional athlete, but most lack the power to do it.

On the other hand, some people are like Joaquin Phoenix, who has an enormous amount of acting ability but has no desire to act because he'd rather pursue a hip hop career.

Philippians 2:13- For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him. 2. How difficult for you is it to do what pleases God? 3. According to this verse, who is the one working in you? 4. Are you able to do this on your own? 5. What would your life look like if you had the desire to obey God, but lacked the power to do it? 6.

How do you unleash the power to do what's right?

Matthew 9:29- Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.”

7. What do you think about this statement...”I just can't do it?” True or false? 8. If you disagree with God, who's right? You or God? 9. What would life be like if you had the power to do what pleases God, but not the desire to do it? 1 Kings 8:58- May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors. 1 Chronicles 29:18- O LORD, the God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, make your people always want to obey you. See to it that their love for you never changes. 10. Which of these are tougher for you? The desire to obey him? the power to do what pleases him? or both?
