My Helmet

This is quoted from "Sparkling Gems from the Greek" by Rick Renner...

Ephesians 6:17....And take the helmet of salvation...

My salvation is the most precious and wonderful gift God ever gave to me!

When a person is confident of his salvation - and when he walks confidently in the powerful reality of all that salvation means for him - he is a noticeable individual! If you don't walk in all that your salvation entails, you may feel the brunt of the enemy's attack on your mind and steals your victory away.

If your salvation is not worn tightly around your mind like a helmet, the enemy will come to chop the multiple blessings of your salvation right out of your life. He will hack away at your foundation, telling you that healing, deliverance, preservation and soundness of mind were not really a part of Jesus' redemptive work on the Cross. By the time the enemy is finished with your mind, you will question your salvation.

Many believers try to do the work of God without making it a personal goal to walk in the full knowledge of their salvation, and they are spiritually slaughtered as a result. By exposing their unprotected minds to the devil's insinuations, they place themselves in a position to be severly attacked and possibly deceived.

You see, the devil knows that if he can seize your mind and fill it with lies, he can then begin to operate from this lofty position in your life. He can try to manipulate your emotions, send signals of sickness and disease into your body, and so on. To protect you from such attacks is the very reason God has given you the "helmet of salvation."

The fact that Paul likens our salvation to a helmet means that we must know all that our salvation includes inside and out. We must spend time studying what the Bible has to say about healing, about our deliverance from evil powers, about God's desire to bless us, and about the benefits of our redemption in our everyday lives.

Once this becomes ingrained in our spirits, it becomes like a helmet in our lives!

At that point, it doesn't matter how hard the devil tries to hack away at our spiritual foundation; we know beyond a shadow of a doubt what Jesus' death and resurrection purchased for us. This knowledge has become a part of us, preventing the enemy from attacking our minds as he did in the past. That's how the full knowledge of our salvation puts a helmet on our heads!

Lord, I am so ever grateful for my salvation! It is the most precious gift You have ever given me. It changed my life and set me free; it brought deliverance to my spirit! I want to wrap my salvation around my mind so tightly that the devil can never steal these benefits from my life. Holy Spirit, I ask You to help me study and to understand everything Jesus purchased for me at the Cross. Reveal it to me; convince me of its truth; and help me to wear that revelation knowledge on my head like a mighty fortified, spiritual helmet!

I pray this in Jesus' precious, holy and magnified name!
