Matthew 26:41 "watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation;The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak:"
Jesus facing the worst night in human history, the night when the love of God came face to face with the hatred in man. Jesus in the garden with Peter, James,and John, as Jesus finds them sleep and says "watch and pray that you enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is week".
Jesus said" watch and pray that you enter not into temptation"; to enter: go in "willfully", in our rebillious nature we willfully disobey Gods commands, as the flesh is weak. It will cause us to deny Christ in our talk, at a time when a witness is needed, abandon him with our walk, when we are needed to stand with and for him. If not kept in check the desires of the flesh will kill the willingness of the spirit, as they war constantly , the flesh never wants to do, what the spirit knows needs to be done. Jesus in the garden, a willing spirit, fighting with a rebillious flesh, says "not my will but thy will be done". His flesh wanted the cup to pass, but not his will, but the will of the Father be done.
God can take a willing spirit, a humble spirit, a loving spirit and save the whole world. He took the willingness of Jesus, the love of Jesus and humbleness of Jesus and made him the perfect sacrifice for an imperfect people, to control a rebillious flesh and encourage a willing spirit. Do you have a willing spirit? Let the Lord use you...
