Instead of shifting blame to some "spirit" or "spiritual dynamic," why don't we call sin what scripture calls it:
"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death." James 1:14-15
"But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells;" Romans 7:17-18
Let's quit looking for "the devil made me do it excuses" and pray the Lord will help us overcome the flesh by His Spirit.
