The fallen flesh of man is a large topic as well in the scripture. The influence of the evil one seems to be a lot more pervasive than one soul at a time!
My point being Jesus is the Christ, that overcame the world, and the evil one and was given by God all authority in heaven and earth. Given is the key word here. Paul prays that we see this

I don't care if some Christians feel Satan is in our flesh. He is not.
Sin dwells in us. Satan doesn't.
Satan can influence our thoughts. But he doesn't know our thoughts.
All the world lies in his hand. But he's not everywhere in the world.
The fallen flesh is something different than "Satan living in people".
