If conquerors be regarded as the engine-drivers of History, then the conquerors of thought are perhaps the pointsmen who, less conspicuous to the traveler's eye, determine the direction of the journey.
Arthur Koestler (1905-1983, Hungarian born British writer)
Romans 12: 21
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. (HCSB)
To conquer is to control. To be conquered is to come under the control of something, and God is trying to teach us to maintain secure, spiritual walls around our lives to prevent the entrance of the enemy. Satan will use many disguises to get gain entrance into our lives and destroy our peace. He is not a funny looking guy with horns and a long sharp tail.
Our Father knows well the tools of the evil one and he doesn’t want us to touch them, for he knows how easily we pick up bad habits. God always guides us away from our flesh, “For although we are walking in the flesh, we do not wage war in a fleshly way, since the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. (2 Cor 10:3-4.)
By following God’s Word we will remain securely in His Hands. Satan lures out of peace by getting us to use the weapons of his warfare and if we use them, we will come under his control. God asks us to take every thought captive, or to use another term, we are to conquer our thoughts so as to control our actions. We must be guided by The Holy Spirit who lives within us, and not let satan intrude on the work God is doing within us…God’s Blessings.
