 Many Christians don't understand this, and that's why many are stuck in spiritual bondage. You see, you have two enemies, self and Satan. The Bible makes it clear that we battle the demonic. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. We also battle the sin nature. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the spirit wants. You deal with the demonic through knowing and living in the truth of God's Word, submitting to God and resisting the devil and speaking simple commands with God's divine authority. We overcome self through repentance, which is a change of mind, consistent prayer, consistent devotion to the Word, and surrender to the Holy Spirit. Deliverance frees you from demonic influence, which is different than possession, and discipline subjects the flesh. Both deliverance and discipline bring forth dominion.
