The Desire That Leads to Oneness: Why God Wants Your Heart, Not Just Your Habits

We’ve all been there—checking off the boxes of our spiritual routines, hoping that discipline alone will bring us closer to God. But what if the key to oneness isn’t in doing more, but in desiring more?

In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, we’re reminded that God is not looking for robotic obedience. He’s after our hearts. He wants to dwell in us, not just be acknowledged by us. Oneness with God is not achieved through performance—it’s cultivated through desire.

The podcast God Wants Your Desire, Not Your Discipline captures this beautifully. John shares how his journey of forgiveness didn’t begin with a checklist—it began with a desire to honor God. That desire led to transformation, healing, and a deeper connection with the Father.

Desire is powerful. It’s what moves us to pursue, to sacrifice, to stay connected. When we truly desire God, we naturally begin to host His presence in our thoughts. We start asking, “What would please You, Lord?” not out of obligation, but out of love.

This is the heart of oneness: living in such close relationship with God that His desires become our desires. It’s not about trying harder—it’s about loving deeper. And from that love flows obedience, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of striving, maybe it’s time to pause and ask: “Do I desire God, or am I just trying to please Him with my discipline?” The answer could change everything.

🎧 If you’re ready to move from striving to thriving in your relationship with God, listen to the podcast God Wants Your Desire, Not Your Discipline. Let it guide you into a deeper, more authentic oneness with Him.
