2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (KJV)
“3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
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;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
Accomplishments begin in the imagination – “And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do” (Genesis 11:6).
Many things come into being as a result of imagination – “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” (Psalm 19:14).
The real war is to think correctly. This is not a flesh thing; this is a movement that can only take place in spirit. The direction our spirit is moving in will be the direction our flesh will take. Therefore, “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.”
