In the area of the soul and desire and the Holy Spirit and control. The soul (us )after the fall in a conscious level entered into an adversarial state. Pryor to the fall there was perfect unity at the conscious level of life. By adversarial i mean in a relational way. The very nature of the origin of this adversarial state is control. As believers we have given control over to Christ. Yet the will being new is still corrupted. And the will of God and our will are not separated in our acting. Our will is not sin in itself, nor is it the Spirits will apart from our will in the act. Granted that our side of the will is corrupted and the Christ side so to speak is the only spiritual good. Yet when we act it is us acting. We are still in an adversarial state as believers in this world. We still will for control in the germ of our acting. Look in gen. where sin desires to control us but we must control it. So desiring control is not wrong. Nor is it wrong to exercise control over others. The nature of our initial desire is for control. As a believer our wills are new and so what we will is what is Gods will, yet it is corrupted coming from us. The whole human struggle starts in this germ of control. We are in a moment by moment struggle for control. That is not necessarily wrong. In fact much of our spiritual growing is rooted in the gaining of control at the very heart of the will. got to rite later.
