Christian Spiritual Warfare: Put on the Mind of Christ Versus Following Our Imagination

2 Corinthians 10:5. In warfare, military objectives usually focus on the destruction of an enemy or the gaining of a territory. The objective of Christian spiritual warfare is territorial in nature. The territory in this case is the human mind. Christian spiritual warfare is a spiritual battle to conquer the human mind in order to bring it into the obedience of Christ [2 Corinthians 10:4-5, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;").

It is usually very easy to let bad thoughts enter our mind that do not line up with the Word - the knowledge of God. Our imagination will then get the better of us and our mind will soon wander away from God. Our imagination will soon lead to sin and disobedience to God. Our mind is the battlefield of spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is a battle for our mind between our evil imaginations and the glorious knowledge of God. The overall objective of spiritual warfare is to "have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16).
