I am not one for hats, caps, or bonnets. And, helmets…definitely mess with my do…
“And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;”
Ephesians 6:17
We have been walking through the armor of God passages these past several days (see previous posts) and we have reached this point…Paul the Apostle is telling us in no uncertain terms…to…
Guard our thoughts. Yep. The helmet of salvation.
My thoughts almost ruined my life. Like an addict who can’t control their own behavior, for decades…I couldn’t control my thoughts. I lived in a fantasy world to the neglect of my husband, my children…my God. Yet, the very thing the enemy tried to use against me…is the very thing King Jesus has used to help bring freedom to many others in His Name alone.
The original Greek word for salvation is “sozo” meaning: deliverance, preservation, soundness, prosperity, happiness, rescue, general well-being.
Which of these do you need in this moment? Jesus has purchased…complete…salvation…for you. Have you received Him and you still struggle? Come to His throne of grace in fresh surrender…ask for the Spirit’s help…to place again on your head…
The helmet of His all-encompassing salvation.
Feel free to share...
