2 Corinthians 10:5
"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;"
I believe this is one of the key verses in our spiritual warfare that many miss. The war is not with flesh and blood, as we well know. It is in the heart and mind. And it is in the heart and mind that God desires to strengthen you, to make you mighty. Yet because we so often miss what is in this verse, we so often fall short.
Our thoughts are under our control. Anything that is going against what we know of God is to be cast down. And every thought, no matter the thought, is to be brought into captivity, it is our prisoner and we make it obey Christ. This is Christ's power working in us. This is the renewing of our mind. This is being conformed to the image of Him, from the inside out.
Are my thoughts under my control as I place myself under the control of my King?
