We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, --- 2 Corinthians 10:5 Paul uses military terminology to describe this warfare against sin and Satan. God must be the commander in chief---even our thoughts must be submitted to his control as we live for him. Spirit-empowered believers must capture every thought and yield it to Christ. When exposed to ideas or opportunities that might lead to wrong desires, you have a choice. You can recognize the danger and turn away, or you can allow unhealthy thoughts to take you captive. You capture your fantasies and desires when you honestly admit them to the Lord and ask hom to redirect your thinking. Ask God to give you the spirit of discernment to keep your thoughts focused on his truth. --- Life Application Bible
