There is an exact and precise procedure to secure each desired goal. And the proper procedure is always based on God's way through His divine power. Never is our ability an option toward the main objective. Just as military soldiers do not concoct their own plans, the spiritual soldier must rely on God's plan. This may sound easy, but such a way is in direct contrast to man's old sin nature.
Control is man's major addiction, giving rise to all areas of arrogance.
The warrior must therefore give up his desire to control his circumstances, his life, his world, etc. Giving over control does not mean we are easily led anywhere. The spiritual warrior does not blindly accept just anything and everything but is disciplined and accurate in the execution of his task at hand and in the execution of the spiritual life. The effective soldier is not bound to the things of this world but lives his life in accordance with the internal power he receives from God. There is a distinct sound and a distinct call set out to the soldier for the proposal at hand and the soldier must be fully trained to properly respond.
