2 Corinthians 10:5
"DEMOLISH"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.
Demolish and take captive, not people but thoughts. Can it be? that we have been granted such authority over the battlefield of the mind? The answer is a resounding; Yes! How we ask? One needs to look closer to the entirety of these verses.
2 Corinthians 10:3
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
First your walk, must not be according to the dictates of the flesh. Second; you have weapons, not from this world, but heavenly. Found in God Himself where you have 24/7 access to them in Christ. The expectations of the believer should be, that once these weapons are taken up, and used. Strongholds are pulled down, and demolished. Arguments, and every high and lofty thought that is lifted up against the knowledge of God in your life. Will and can be held captive,(prisoner) to the obedience of Christ. Not my obedience, not yours, but Christ's.
Then you and I are free to: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:4-6
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,

Isaiah 26:3-4
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
Hallelujah; we demolish all thoughts that wars against the knowledge of God's unfailing love in our lives, and we have the opportunity in Christ "to let," the mind of Christ keep us in perfect peace.
What victory! what freedom!
Amen!
