The power of sin within you keeps sabotaging you.

The kingdom of God is within you; therefore the struggles that are being fought is within you. James 4:1 says “From where do wars and fighting originated among you? They begin from your lusts that war in your members” So when the kingdom suffers opposition it is you that suffers the aggression because it is the real you that is inside of the body that constantly fights against the flesh. This flesh is daily in conflict against God and you must crucify it and bring it under subjection. See the biggest fight you have is not with demons but with yourself. Demons are subject to the spirit of God so you can rebuke demons in the name of Jesus and they have to flee, but it is within you that spiritual warfare often takes place and the battlefield is the mind. Because demonic spirits try to influence your flesh to do certain things or act in certain ways and that is violence, but because you crucify flesh daily you take victory by force.

Scripture says it best in Romans 7:14-25 ^14-16You are full of yourself; you’ve spent a long time in sin's prison. What you don't understand about yourself is that you decide one way, but then you act another, doing things you absolutely despise. So if you can't be trusted to figure out what is best for yourself and then do it, it becomes obvious that God's control by his Laws are necessary.

^17-20But you need something more! For if you know the law but still can't keep it, and if the power of sin within you keeps sabotaging your best intentions, you obviously need help! You begin to realize that you don't have what it takes. You try to will it, but you can't do it. You decide to do good, but you don't really do it; You decide not to do bad, but then you do it anyway. Your decisions, such as they are, don't result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within you and gets the better of you every time.

^21-23It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment you decide to do good, sin is there to trip you up. Even if you truly delight in God's commands, Parts of you secretly rebel, and just when you least expect it, they take charge. ²⁴Even when you’ve tried everything and nothing helps. And you’re at the end of your rope. Is there no one who can do anything for you?

²⁵The is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where you want to serve God with all your heart and mind, but your pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.

The devil is upset with you as a believer of Christ’s because he knows you’re destined to work for God who has sent you. There is an anointing upon you to be fruitful and make followers for the Kingdom of God. You are to Love everybody and because you try to live by that motto, the enemy is going to try to do everything in his power to make you believe that you cannot love as God says to love.
