Yes, you are right. Here's my short answer.
"Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you." Jas 4:7
And remember when Jesus scolded Paul :
"Get behind me Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, because you think not God's thoughts but those of men" (flesh, materialism, not spirit).
Faith can set you free.

112) Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe
to the soul that depends on the flesh."
113) His disciples said to Him, "When will the Kingdom come?"
"It will not come by waiting for it. It will
not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is.' Rather,
the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men
do not see it."
