The Helmet of Salvation, Put it On, You Need It!
The helmet of salvation is amongst the armor of God given to us for battle. We all have a common enemy, the devil. His job is to steal, and kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We are in constant battle with agitating spirits and moral conflicts, which are here to weigh us down spiritually so we’re not thinking of God’s help for us. The helmet of salvation is knowing who you are in Christ Jesus, and being firmly rooted and grounded in our faith of and in the Gospel. When those mind-binding spirits come for you, you should already know what God’s word says about you before they come. You’ll know for yourself by renewing your mind with God’s word, that they are lying about you in your mind. Don’t take the bait. We have the mind of Christ, and should be exercising the mind of Christ in our everyday life and affairs (1 Corinthians 2:16). We have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power love and a clear thinking mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The helmet of salvation protects those that have done their homework in renewing their minds with God’s way of thinking. There’s no fear in God’s way of thinking. There’s no tolerance for defeat in God’s way of thinking. There’s only victorious living the way God sees us. Putting on the whole armor of God covers us for going forward. There is no protection for our backside because we should be advancing forward, and not running away to get shot in the back by Satan’s flaming arrows. Put on the helmet of salvation and leave it in place until further notice.
