1. Launch a war you intend to win, like WWII  not Vietnam. Not to just control or negotiation.
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." Dan 1:8

We have cultivated many weed in the Garden of our thought live. In our imagination and daydreams. Satan tell you that it is hopeless and enjoyable and God will forgive. Someday maybe when life is easier less pressure.... We must put our will to the strain, to purpose to win. God will combine his power with our effort. Begin the weeding -repenting. Plant ground cover (i.e. meditate on God's word). We don't weed our thick ground cover.

We cannot discern the character of God, or accept Christ by faith, unless we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. To all who do this the Holy Spirit is given without measure.

2. Our prayer should not be to take a our desires, for God gave reproductive instincts. Our Prayer is to take away impure thoughts and desires. Pray that God will cleanse our Imagination.

3. Make an agreement with our eyes. Look away from seductive pictures and people.
"I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?" Job 31:1

4. Satan is Manipulating people or circumstances to ambush us. Be aware lest we wonder near the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Eph 6:12
Have you ever been caught off guard? Satan doesn't sleep. It was about 9pm and I had work all day despite a bad sore throat. I felt my forehead and estimate my temperature to be 102. I had just been call to the ER ( It was my turn to admit the Guam Memorial Unassigned patients). I was called to see a patient in the ER , with pneumonia, when I arrived there was another patient to see also. I muster my reserve put on my happy face and began my work. The ER MD then came to me an said that Dr. G's patient came in with a stroke needing admission, but he denied knowing the patient and want me to admit the patient. It was clearly Dr. G responsibility. In my condition I was barely able to do the 2 admissions I had let alone another's work. The ER MD who had failed to persuade Dr. G to come in handed me the phone and I said with all the politeness I could muster that the patient say you are his Doctor and the ER MD feels this patient should be admitted by you, He said he did not remember the patient and would I admit the patient -at that point I hung up the phone and finish my two patient's. Latter that evening I when to the office preformed a strep test, it was +. I found some samples of an antibiotic and went to bed. After 3 months of wresting with a guilty conscious and the embarrassment of apologizing I wrote a letter of apology to Dr. G.

5. Remove from our environment that which contributed to our defeat. worldly music, TV etc.

6. To win the war we must fight many battles.
"If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?" Jer 12:5

Someone may "spit in you brain", at work dirty stories are frequently told. We must communicate that they are not appreciated or it will continue and haunt you for the rest of the day or for a lifetime.
