For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
Romans 7:18 ESV
This is hyperbole, which Paul and Yeshua both used freely. Obviously, there is much about our bodies that is good or God wouldn’t have made them, and even the most wicked people often do good works.
However, the evil inclination in our flesh consistently pulls us downward. If we allow it to be our masters, then we will be little more than animals. If we rule our flesh, we can direct it to much good, including through our physical passions. Our spirits and the Law of God must be the guide for our passions, not the other way around. See Proverbs 25:28 and Hebrews 4:15-16.

When referring to the devil many call him satan. Or in Hebrew HaSatan. However, that's not his name. That's his role. It means adversary. In Israel the prosecuting attorneys are called HaSatan.
Many people think his name is lucifer. However that's not quite true either.
In the King James Version of the Bible. The translators of this version took the word from the Latin Vulgate, which translated הֵילֵל by the Latin word Lucifer. I'd rather take it from the Hebrew which I know is more accurate.
The rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל transliterated is hêylêl; pronunced: hay-lale In Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12)
Yeshayah (Isaiah) 14:12 TS2009
[12] “How you have fallen from the heavens, O Hĕlĕl, son of the morning! You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the nations!
Thought for Today: Friday June 20
Few things touch my heart more than the news that some believers in the Moshiach, are being persecuted, tortured, and killed for their love in Yeshua. It has been estimated that more believers in the Moshiach have been killed for their faith the last 100 years or so, than all other centuries combined since the time of our Moshiach. One reason is the spreading of the Gospel to all nations – often into places of great unbelief and hostility. Another reason is the rise of political systems and governments that are too scared to offend people. Let us make this a day of prayer for those around the world who are persecuted.
