Helmet of Salvation
Human in his sincerity realized the need for protecting the head. It is the most vulnerable part of the body. In ancient days, soldiers were wearing helmets made out of animal skin. Later on, the helmets were made of metal. Not only do soldiers at war wear helmets but also in sports activities like football or rugby, and motorbike rides to protect against injury and hurt. Hamlet's on the battlefield saved the multitudes of warriors and soldiers.
Satan is working through our minds by attacking our thoughts. The deceiver, Satan has developed this technique since the garden of Eden when he bombarded Adam and Eve’s minds and defeated them. Today when you would look at the specific strategies satan is using to keep God’s people in defeat you will find out that it has to in the battlefield of there mind. His primary strategy is to sowing thoughts of doubt and unbelief into human mind. Don’t repeat the same mistake that Eve did by giving the devil space in her mind. Satan will try cause us to question God’s Word, therefore don’t listening his lies. Many people fall into devils trap and living in defeat because of listening to satans lies. He always contradicts God’s Word and His supreme authority.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ has well illustrated in their letters to Ephesians the importance of taking the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17 and put on the helmet of salvation.
" but let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation". 1 Thessalonians 5:8. Eventually it is the natural mind that must be covered by God's helmet of salvation. The first battle begins in our mind waging the war in our thoughts. Therefore the only solution is to renew our minds to the word of God by captive every thought and bringing it to the obedience of Christ. As well by continually meditating on the word of God day and night so that we will be sure to obey everything He instructs us. What you think it will get to your heart and eventually come out of your mouth. Solomon said in Proverbs 23:7, For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he". Therefore our minds must be renewed as Paul said in Romans 12:1-2, " I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God".
When our mind is protected and renewed there will be clean thinking just like Christ.
