GETHSEMANE: THE ALTAR OF THE GREATEST PRAYER

16871. EVERLASTING FATHER WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY AS WE ROCK AND ROLL IN YOUR WORD AND IN PRAYER IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE WITH YOU. THANK YOU RABBONI

16872. GETHSEMANE: THE ALTAR OF THE GREATEST PRAYER

RECENTLY I TAUGHT YOU THE GREATEST PRAYER ANY MAN COULD PRAY IS MATTHEW 6:10 “Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, as it is in heaven.”

THAT’S A GETHSEMANE PRAYER: “… NEVERTHELESS NOT my WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE …” (LUKE 22:42)

16873. THE MYSTERY OF THREE GREATEST GIFTS

THERE ARE THREE GREAT GIFTS GOD GAVE TO MAN.

1. THE BREATH OF LIFE

2. THE GIFT OF FREEWILL OR CHOICE

3. THE GIFT OF SALVATION

OF ALL THOSE THREE GREATEST GIFTS, THE MOST DANGEROUS GIFT IS THE GIFT OF FREEWILL

THAT IS WHY GETHSEMANE IS A PLACE OF GIVING BACK THE GREATEST AND MOST DANGEROUS GIFT BACK TO GOD.

“NEVERTHELESS NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE …” (LUKE 22:42)

16874. LISTEN 👂 TO THIS DEEP SECRET: GOD’S GREATEST PLEASURE IS THE CONSTANT AND CONTINUAL SACRIFICE AND SLAUGHTER OF YOUR WILL ON THE ALTAR OF GETHSEMANE

PSALM 51:17:

(King James Version)
“The SACRIFICES OF GOD are A BROKEN SPIRIT: a BROKEN and a CONTRITE HEART, O God, THOU WILT NOT DESPISE.”

(Holman Christian Standard Bible)
” The SACRIFICE PLEASING TO GOD is a BROKEN SPIRIT. God, YOU WILL NOT DESPISE a BROKEN and HUMBLED HEART”

IF GOD’S GREATEST GIFT IS FREEWILL, AND GOD’S GREATEST PLEASURE IS SACRIFICE OF THAT YOUR FREEWILL FOR HIS OWN WILL, THEN THE GREATEST PRAYER IS THE PRAYER THAT SLAUGHTERS YOUR WILL TO MAKE HIS WILL COME ALIVE IN YOUR LIFE. THAT GREATEST PRAYER IS ALSO THE MOST DANGEROUS PRAYER ANY MAN COULD EVER PRAY

GETHSEMANE LYRICS

Jesus climbed the hill
To the garden still
His steps were heavy and slow
Loves and a prayer
Took Him there
To the place only He could go

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

He felt all that was sad, wicked or bad
All the pain we would ever know
While His friends were asleep
He fought to keep
His promise made long ago

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So He went willingly
To Gethsemane

The hardest thing That ever was done
The greatest pain that ever was known
The biggest battle that ever was won
This was done by Jesus.
The fight was won by Jesus.

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So he gave His gift to me
In Gethsemane

Gethsemane
Jesus loves me
So he gives His gift to me
From Gethsemane

16875. THE MYSTERY OF HUMILITY IN GETHSEMANE

SOME 27 YEARS AGO RABBONI TAUGHT ME THE MYSTERY OF HUMILITY. AFTER THAT LESSON, HE TOLD ME TO APPLY WHAT HE TAUGHT ME TO MY LIFE.

GETHSEMANE IS A PLACE OF SACRIFICE, PAIN, AND AGONY BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A LIVING SACRIFICE. A PAINFUL SACRIFICE. A HUMBLING SACRIFICE!

THE MYSTERY OF HUMILITY IS THE MYSTERY THAT SURRENDERS YOUR LEGITIMATE BRAGGING RIGHTS, YOUR LEGITIMATE BOASTS, YOUR LEGITIMATE EGOS AND ACHIEVEMENTS, TO GOD IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS WILL AND HIS PLEASURES
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OUT OF MANY SACRIFICES GOD PLEASURABLY COLLECTED FROM ME. LET’S TAKE A BIRTHDAY EXAMPLE.

I HAVE TWO BIRTHDAYS.

1. BIOLOGICAL
2. SPIRITUAL

RABBONI TOOK ME TO THE GARDEN OF HUMILITY AND TAUGHT ME SOME STRANGE AND PAINFUL LESSONS THERE 😭😭😭 27 YEARS AGO.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW A PERSON VERY WELL, STUDY THEM ON THEIR BIRTHDAY. THAT IS A DAY OF BRAGGING. THAT IS A DAY OF MASSAGING EGOS. THAT’S IS A DAY OF ACCOLADES. THAT IS A DAY OF BANQUETS. THAT IS A DAY OF SHOW-OFF, A DAY OF PERSONAL GLORY AND VANITY, 😭😭😭 A DAY OF “COME-AND-SEE-ME”, A DAY OF DISPLAY AND PARADE. A DAY GIFTS. A DAY MERRIMENTS. A DAY OF SUBTLE AND OPEN PRIDE. ETC. ETC.

WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LEARNING. DON’T GO INTO COPYCAT BANDWAGON BY APPLYING IT TO YOUR LIFE. IT WAS MY PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH GOD AT MY GETHSEMANE. WHAT YOU NEED IS TO ASK HIM TO GIVE YOU YOUR OWN PERSONAL AND PECULIAR ENCOUNTER WITH HIM, DON’T COPY MINE, IT’S JUST AN EXAMPLE. IF A TEACHER GIVES YOU AN EXAMPLE AND A HOMEWORK. OF YOU COPY THE EXAMPLE AND PRESENT IT TO HIM AS YOUR ANSWER TO THE HOMEWORK, YOU WILL FAIL THAT HOMEWORK ABSOLUTELY 🤣🤣🤣

RABBONI CAME AND SAID TO ME: “SON, GIVE ME YOUR PRIDE, GIVE ME YOUR EGO… GIVE ME YOUR WILL… “

I KNEW WHAT HE MEANT, BECAUSE THAT YEAR, ABOUT 27 YEARS AGO, I WAS PREPARING AND GREATLY PLANNING FOR A BIG BIRTHDAY BASH! I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT HE WAS ASKING ME TO SURRENDER THE GLORY OF MY BIRTHDAY PARTY TO HIM.

AFTER, HE TOOK ME TO GETHSEMANE, UNLIKE PETER, JAMES AND JOHN, HE TOOK ME INSIDE THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, THE VERY PLACE WHERE HE SHED TEARS 😭 😭 😭 AND BLOOD 🩸🩸🩸… OOOHHHHHHHH!!!! 😭😭😭 HOW I SAW THE UNSPOKEN AND UNSPEAKABLE LOVE OF THE FATHER THERE. ON THAT SAME STONE WHERE HE HAD PRAYED IN THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH (HEBREWS 5:7), I SLAUGHTERED AND SHED THE BLOOD OF MY FREEWILL THERE 😭😭😭

EVER SINCE THAT DAY, I ALWAYS ASCRIBE THE GLORY OF MY BIRTHDAY TO HIM. I DON’T ANNOUNCE 📢 IT, I DON’T CELEBRATE IT, I DON’T EVEN SHARE THAT DAY WITH MY FAMILY, IT’S GOD’S DAY AND ONLY HIM DO I SHARE IT WITH, IN THE SECLUSION OF THE LONELY PLACE AT MY OWN GETHSEMANE. NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT, VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW THE DATE BECAUSE I DEMYSTIFIED THAT DAY AND IT’S ASSOCIATED POMP AND PAGEANTRY. IT’S MY DAY OF OBSCURITY AND NOT CELEBRITY. A DAY OF CONSECRATION AND NOT CELEBRATION!

ALL MY BIOLOGICAL SIBLINGS CELEBRATE 🎉 THEIR BIRTHDAYS WITH A MEASURE OF POMP, AND YOU TOO SHOULD NOT STOP CELEBRATING YOURS. I GREET THEM WITH GIFTS AND PRAYERS ON THEIR BIRTHDAYS, BUT FOR 27 YEARS NOW, NONE OF THEM KNOW MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE I DON’T CELEBRATE 🎉 OR REMIND OR ANNOUNCE TO ANYBODY. THIS GLADENS MY RABBONI BECAUSE, I SURRENDERED AND CONSECRATED THAT DAY EXCLUSIVE TO HIM.

ONE OF MY BELOVED SPIRITUAL DAUGHTERS MANAGED TO KNOW THAT DATE THROUGH MY WIFE, SO THE TWO OF THEM PLANNED TO RESURRECT IT 3 YEARS AGO. I MADE SURE THEIR COUP FAILED.

SHE WAS NOT IN THE COUNTRY, SO, SHE SENT ALL MANNER OF GIFTS WITH A CONVOY OF THREE CARS FILLED WITH HER LIEUTENANTS AND MINISTRY DAUGHTERS, WHO BESIEGED MY HOUSE. I WAS IN HEAVEN THAT DAY AS MY TRADITION IS, I REFUSED TO COME DOWN TO THE FLESH, NEITHER DID I SHOWED MY FACE TO ENTERTAIN THOSE BELOVED DAUGHTERS OF RABBONI THAT DAY.

THEY ALL LEARNT A VITAL LESSON THAT DAY. I SAY THIS WITHOUT ANY CONDESCENSION TO THEM, I’M SURE MOST OF THOSE LADIES WERE PARTY FREAKS. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SURPRISED OF THAT WEIRD MAN WHO NEVER CELEBRATES BUT CONSECRATES BIRTHDAY.

IF YOU SLAUGHTER SOMETHING, IT MEANS IT IS DEAD. I MADE SURE MY BIRTHDAY WAS DEADER THAN DEAD! NO BANQUET, NO PARTY, NO KNOWLEDGE! WHY?

BECAUSE OF THE MYSTERY OF HUMILITY IN GETHSEMANE. EVERYONE INCREASES IN FLESH ON THEIR BIRTHDAY, I MADE SURE I DECREASE ON THAT DAY (JOHN 3:30). ONLY MY SPIRIT INCREASE THAT DAY. MY FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING ON THAT DAY.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOURS WOULD BE. MINE WAS BIRTHDAY, AND I SLAUGHTERED IT SOME 27 YEARS AGO, AND IT SHALL NEVER RESURRECT IN JESUS NAME. IF THE LORD SHOULD ASK YOU TO SACRIFICE WHAT YOU LOVE MOST, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? FATHER ABRAHAM’S OWN WAS ISAAC. WHAT IS YOURS?
