You'll need to understand God's way clearly. I mean fully and honest to understand His Word and purposes. Otherwise, satan will lead you to evil good and let's you to control yourself without God. You'll say no to Him, because you think you are perfect. But if you can't handle or control yourself, because it is too big and dangerous, you'll say yes to God, because He is bigger than anything in the universe. You'll say yes to Him, because He leads you to satisfaction needs that you'll be blessed and receive miracles. Because love does not envy. See 1 Corinthians 13:4.

Proverbs 4:25-26, "Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm."

We are all born into this world with the inherited sin of Adam and are totally carnal, a natural man that has no righteousness (Eph 2:2-3). When we are in a natural state of mind we will not say "YES" to God (Rom 8:5-8). 1 Cor 2:14, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Before we can say yes to God, we have to already have been quickened to life (Eph 2:5) God quickened us while we were still dead in sins (a natural man).
