There is a saying something to the effect:

There are two natures within my breast, one is cursed the other is blessed............

Is anyone familiar with this? Anyone know the rest?

thanks.

Two natures beat within my breast;
One is foul, one is blessed;
The one I love, the one I hate;
the one I feed will dominate.


"The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." (Gal. 6:8)

So what is Satan’s strategy for me? He looks for ways to discourage me, and if possible, cause me some depression. He will use whatever people, means, or circumstances it takes to achieve his goal.
It’s the same for you. Maybe your file says, “Frequently tempted to gossip,” or “quick temper,” or “prone to coveting and jealousy,” or “weak in the area of lust.” Don’t kid yourself, he knows very well where your vulnerabilities lie. It’s all in his file. You’ve heard, perhaps, that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. That’s very good news, but it is also true that Satan hates you and has a plan and strategy to destroy your walk with Jesus Christ.

That’s one big reason why you experience struggle and discouragement in your Christian experience. Sometimes I hear people say, “Well, if you’re a Christian, you shouldn’t have any struggles. You shouldn’t ever feel discouraged. All is peace and joy and love and happiness.”
I don’t think so.

I personally think that description fits better with life before you found salvation in Christ. Do you know why? Because you only had one influence in your life at that time. There was no contest for your heart. There was no tug-of-war for your soul.

When I received Jesus Christ, that’s when my problems started. When the Son of God entered my life, He set up a kingdom in my heart that was opposed to the kingdom already there. And suddenly there was warfare between these two kingdoms. I’m reminded of a little poem that often comes to mind:

Two natures beat within my breast,
The one is foul; the one is blest.
The one I love; the one I hate,
The one I feed will dominate.
