I don't have
Sit, Walk, Stand anymore so I can't check it for the characteristics you described. But from memory I recall the progression as being (1) We know our position in Christ (Sit), (2) From that position of sitting (resting in the knowledge of what God has done and who he has made us) we begin to live for Christ (Walk), (3) Having learned to live for Christ based on what God has done we can then resist the enemy as warriors (Stand). So a longer title for the book could be
Know and Rest in What God has Done, Live by What God has Done, Fight by What God has Done.
I see nothing wrong, in principle, with this view.
I've always felt your objection to Lee's "wait on dispensing" was a net throw too broadly. Although I agree in principle with what you say, I don't believe that is what he preached. What I remember him preaching is that nothing we do in ourselves is worth much, i.e. if we try walk before sitting, if we try to do things with our own strength, we will fail. This doesn't promote passivity or waiting for strength, it promotes acting based on what God has done and what he has made us.
I'm not challenging you aggressively. Just discussing because I know people are watching.
