Episode 903: Happy Thanksgiving - Thy will be done

Matthew 26:40. "And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep." He'd been praying for one hour concerning one theme. “Lord, Father, don't let my fellowship with you be broken. Is there some other way out of it?” And so he found the disciples sleeping and he said, "What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.” And His flesh was weak as well. That's why he needed to pray. He had come in our flesh. And he needed strength that would come only through prayer and he told them, you've got the same flesh. And you can have strength only if you pray. You can be willing, the spirit is willing. You can say, oh, I'll never deny you, but unless you pray and get strength, you will deny him. And so they slept, but he didn't sleep. He continued to pray.
