A born-again believer has the Holy Spirit working inside them, actively opposing darkness and reshaping desires toward God's will. Every moment is a choice between responding as Christ would or following worldly impulse. You don't fight the spiritual battle alone.
And so if you are a born-again believer, if Jesus is your Lord, if the Holy Spirit lives within you, then there is a force within you that's fighting against the forces of darkness. There is a power within you that is pushing back against that nature in you that you battle with so often. Every day you are faced with decisions. Each moment presents to you 2 paths that you can go You either respond like Christ would respond, act like he would act, or you act like the flesh. You respond as the world says to respond. The Holy Spirit helps you. You don't have to fight that battle alone. He does a work within your heart that bends your desires toward the will of God.
