When we deal with sin and submit to God the devils will flee from us same as they did from Jesus because we will also cast them out with "the finger of God".   john: It happens.  But I guess this means that when I sin, it is my fault. Romans 7:25 has its place , i am afraid.   jt: When we abide in sin it is our fault. If Romans 7:25 is a reality so is Romans 8:2 (all of it).  Through Christ we are able to "walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh" if we want to.  judyt
