Bargaining with God...It is a wrestle.

Jacob wrestled with God on a bargain while Cain did not. Cain was promised peace of mind and soul if he would just submit. In many ways, Cain is like Satan the 2nd( who killed, coveted his brother's obedient work and his peace with God, and destroyed).  The promise of salvation by grace through faith is free and free to receive but there may be a fulcrum moment when you will have to subdue an anger or current in your life(possibly ancestral) by deciding that you will sue God on his word where he says that current(sin) will not have dominion over you. Romans 7 is not an excuse. Romans 9,10,11, and 12 is an opportunity to claim the faith of Abraham. For your own personal reasons, you may not wish to claim that you are a messianic Jew and Abraham did not refer to himself as such but he recognized Jehovah as the one and only true God. It may help in subduing the duality of soul to claim that you are living in/walking in the faith of Abraham until any such ( cartoon-like) duality as described in Romans 7 goes away and leaves. The Lord experienced it in the wilderness( as he sued on the word) and the book of Luke says that the devil left Him only to seek another opportune moment. It's good to see the opportune moments and the situations through which the Lord's enemy and adversary brings provocation and distraction.  Someone may start a book of Acts(Acts 2) denomination soon because there is truly only one message. It might help. Read Acts 4 with emphasis on verse 13 to 16 as it appears here below:

 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrinand then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”
