“The power of thoughts is significant, which is why God warns His people to be diligent about every thought that enters through the doorway of their minds. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, Paul writes that believers should “take every thought captive to obey Christ.” The word “captive” comes from the Greek word meaning “a prisoner of war taken by spear.” It is this kind of military diligence followers of Christ should exercise over every thought. The thoughts people think matter. Through what people feed their minds, they are either being conformed to the world or are being transformed to be like Christ.”
