The Will of Him That Sent Me.

Joh 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 

Joh 6:38  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 

Luk 22:42  Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 

(Excerpt - The Spiritual Man -by Watchman Nee)

'We need to comprehend the true way by which God leads man, and the relationship between man’s will and the will of God.

The obedience of the Christian to God ought to be unconditional.

When his spiritual life reaches the summit his will shall be perfectly one with God’s. This does not imply, however, that he has no more volition of his own. It is still there; only the fleshly control of it is gone.

God always requires man’s volition to cooperate with Him in fulfilling His will.

By beholding the example of our Lord Jesus we can be assured that the volition of anyone fully united with God is still very much with him.

“I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me”; “not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me”; “nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (John 5.30, 6.38; Luke 22.42). Here do we see the Lord Jesus Who, though one with the Father, yet possesses His Own personal will apart from that of the Father. He has His Own will but neither seeks nor does that will. The implication is obvious that all who truly are united with God should place their will alongside His. They should not annihilate their organ of volition.'

If our Savior could say -

Joh 6:38  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 

• we have to realize that our Savior truly had a WILL of his own and blatantly said He came 'NOT' to do HIS OWN WILL.    We know that His will would never be contrary to His Father's, but He has a will all His own separate from the Father's that He chooses to give to the Father so He can fully do God's will and NOT His own.

Did allowing God's will to be done in Him lessen Jesus in any way? NO. When Jesus allowed God's will to be done in Him, He became fully, wholly all He ever wanted to be.  Satan has fooled us into believing that we of our own have something contrary to God's will and it's our right to be contrary to that will. Truthfully we DO have something contrary to God's will in us but it's only to our detriment not to our betterment.  We need God's will to be done in us as we realize God's will truly is our will, our desire, our hope.  We use our will to choose His will, freely.
