Routine religion gently rocks the spiritual cradle, but radical obedience to the risen Jesus will turn the world upside down! In spiritual warfare we must first win within before we win without. We must overcome our inner enemies, by casting down imaginations and bringing our every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Soldiers that harbor disobedient thoughts, feelings, and desires are never very effective. God’s goal for you is that you do not allow even one thought that is disobedient to Christ to be in your mind. (1 Corinthians 10:5.)

Fight the faith fight. Constantly and aggressively resist every bit of demonic activity that the devil stirs up within you. Surrender no space in your mind, heart, and life to the devil and his demons — not one compulsive thought, not one foul word, not one wrongful desire, not one tormenting feeling, not one ungodly movie or show or song or book or game or party.
