THE HELMET OF SALVATION AND SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; – Ephesians 6:17
We also need the protection offered by the “helmet of salvation” against evil thoughts. The “helmet of salvation” is the insurance that as long as we are totally surrendered to the Lord, living in obedience to Him, we cannot lose our salvation. Therefore, let us not hesitate to resist the lies of the enemy by which he attempts to make us doubt the love and salvation that we have in Christ Jesus.
The Word of God becomes an effective “sword” for the one who learns and applies it. The Scripture is the truth, and when we apply it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can defeat the lies and deceptions of the enemy and even of our own carnal nature. The proclamation of the Word of God has power and strengthens our faith.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for the helmet of salvation that helps me protect my mind and resist the thoughts from the enemy that tries to make me doubt my salvation and the love You have for me. Please help me to surrender it all unto You, to live to please You in all I am and do, so that I will never want to leave Your hand. I can be sure of my salvation, because You would never leave me. Thank you so much Lord for the Holy Spirit, that can be the most powerful sword, every time when under its guidance I proclaim God’s Word. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
