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 take us captive.

We must plead and ask God to give us the spirit of discernment to keep our thoughts focused on His truth.

2 Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
