When I was asleep, I thought the only battle against evil was me battling my sin within myself. I woke up to the fact that Genesis is very literal, and moloch worshippers/babylonians/seed of cain never left the Earth. "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated" makes so much more sense now. I still battle the flesh, but satan is a created being who cannot create anything, so he works to pervert God's creation, and he has slowly made us accept a "reality"
that is not real.
