REMEMBER, God tells me in Romans 8:1, "There is therefore no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Since I now can hear and am able to follow the Holy Spirit's directions, I am committed to allow Him to guide me and reveal to me the current condition of my strengths, weaknesses, and character. I am now ready to proceed to Principle 5.
