I've heard this doctrinal argument, but if you look into the Greek word being used here for "desires", you'll see it's used interchangeable with "wills".
Here's where you can start:
Greek Concordance: θέλει (thelei) -- 19 Occurrences
But just to save you the trip, here's the exact word in another Scripture:
John 5:21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
As you can see, this is Scripture once again saying the opposite of the "desires vs wills" argument.
The Son gives life to whom He wills. (John 5:21)
And the Father wills none to perish. (1 Tim 2:4)
These words are identical in the Greek.
