attack by satan as long as we walk in the flesh he can influence us to get worse not better.If we are walking in Christ satan may still try to tempt us but we are empowered by the holy spirit and overcome him and our faith increases.Both are saved by grace but one is powerless because of sin versus saved but an overcomer having been set free from sin i think this is what Paul was trying to explain.It is better to be an overcomer

«WE HAVE THE VICTORY» For those struggling with thoughts of unforgiveness and
attacks on the mind especially deceiving thoughts and doubts these are from satan in the word they are called fiery darts we are to quench those darts by faith so we need to read the word and believe that
Gods word is true.We also have the victory over these thoughts because when we accept Jesus the holy spirit dwells within us so satan does nt have authority over us he can not rule what belongs to
God he can only deceive.We can not defeat the enemy in our strength we need the holy spirit when we try and overcome him in our strength we struggle especially with our thoughs and in the area of sin.If you are having evil thoughts or doubts commit your way unto the Lord and let him fight your battle.Tell the enemy he has no authority over you that you are under the covering of Jesus Christ and when you have doubts memorise verses on faith ie greater is he that is in me
than he that is in the world.The holy spirit is just like Jesus talk to him be friends with him he helps us to live like Christ and gives us the power to do it.We are overcomers more
than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us.brentnz
