"I must be a Gethsemane disciple. Gethsemane was not an isolated experience for Jesus; HE went there "as was His custom"..Spiritually, His whole life was a Gethsemane; He was constantly facing the enemy's alternatives, He was continually deciding to do the Father's will. The more selfish a person is, the less he will experience of Gethsemane. He has no crisis, no agony, and therefore no victory. Believers who live in the atmosphere of Gethsemane constantly reap victory.
Gethsemane divides disciples into three groups: those who decide to IGNORE God's will, those who decide to CONSIDER God's will, and those who decide to DO God's will. Victory comes only to the one who chooses to enact God's will."
