I saw this poem in my church bulletin, and thought it was really good - I was challenged. Hope you enjoy!

Strongholds by Donald E. Parker

Every thought's a soldier
In the battle for the mind,
And we decide the victor
By the ones we give our time.

The warfare may be spiritual,
But it's as real as any war,
Though some may ask the question,
"Then what's the battle for?"

The battle is for strongholds
Whether right or wrong,
The more we run into them,
The more we make them strong.

If we yield our thoughts to Satan,
Then our minds he can control,
And the strongholds will be his,
Though he may not have our soul.

But if Jesus is commander
Of the thoughts that wage the war,
Then the strongholds will be righteous
And we'll be conquerors evermore.
