The soul can receive input from the Spirit man, if he is born again. He can also receive input from the Carnal man also known as the body or flesh of man. This is why Jesus said you must be born again. Now lets take a quick look at these verses and see what is happening. Here we see that the inward man or the Soul delights in and embraces the Law of God.
Law represents power and authority.
Here we see this conflict begin to develop. The Soul which delights in the Law of God is in conflict with the flesh which delights in the Law of Sin. Here the Soul cries out to God for deliverance from this body which is bringing him to death. He is under the power and authority of sin. Here Jesus responds to the cry of help from the Soul.
