The difference between defeated Christians and victorious ones is not that the defeated Christians did not have the Holy Spirit. The problem is that the defeated Christians did not know how to deal with the Holy Spirit they had. The Holy Spirit was to be their Master but they wanted to be their own bosses. The only way to avoid control by our instincts is to recognise the Holy Spirit as our ‘Resident Boss’, to paraphrase Watchman Nee from “The Normal Christian Life”. “Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Gal 5:16)” is the direction to the Christian. The flesh refers to our old sinful/corrupt nature. Romans 7: 15-24 explains how sin controls and destroys us. We do not understand our random acts. We are unable to do the things we want to. Instead, we do the things we do not want to. This is because sin lives in us. A Christians walk on Earth is like moving through a battlefield. But fear not because If God is for us, who can be against us! - See more at: christianitymalaysia/wp/christians-walk-battlefield/#sthash.1P8kfwc5.dpuf
