Helmet of Salvation (Part II)

Helmet of Salvation (Part II) – Your outfit

Knowing now that the enemy’s best tool yet is an attack to our mind so that we disobey God (see Finding You series 14), our helmet of salvation provides a wonderful security guarding us from an attack in the mind (the head, the thinking faculty to your soul). This session will highlight practical ways to put on the helmet.

Ephesians 6 V 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

You see, you need to realise that the battle field where spiritual wars are fought is in our minds. Our mind is THE single power house where who you are begins to act out, what you conclude in your mind is what you agree to and what you eventually release other members of your body (temple of God) to execute. This is stressed so you can understand the importance of your power house (your mind) and the need to wear the helmet of salvation always.

1 Thessalonians 5:8 (Amplified Bible) 8But we belong to the day; therefore, let us be sober and put on the breastplate (corslet) of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

There you have it; our helmet of salvation in reality terms is the hope in our salvation. 

The continuous hope strengthened and empowered by faith hence Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing and its hearing the Word of God. Faith is not the same as hope although it empowers your hope in your salvation through Christ Jesus. That is why faith is a substance of things hoped for but not yet seen Hebrews 11:1. Derek Prince in a message on this topic defines hope as a quiet, steady expectation of good based on the promises of God’s Word. He further described it as continuing optimism that always chooses to see the best and will not give way to depression, doubt, self pity or any negative attack to the mind that the enemy may attempt.

Be rest assured that whatever you are going through in life, there is always something to dash that hope, to change your focus from what God said concerning you in the Holy Bible. We at DV Soul always say the only true things about you and I, are recorded in the bible, why? Isaiah 49:15-16 confirms that even if a mother forgets a child she is nursing, God will never forget us.

Hold on to your hope in the salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ who have already overcome the world and its troubles, He already said to us though challenges may come, I have overcome John 16:33. 

Hebrews 10:23 (Amplified Bible) 23So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the [a]hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.

Jesus Christ is coming back and He will return soon as the signs already indicate. Put on the helmet of salvation and confess the promises of the holy bible in your daily life. Continue to build up your hope by increasing your faith through the hearing of the Word of Jesus. Surround yourself with those who are like minded for iron sharpens iron according to Proverbs 27:17.

INCREASE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, INCREASE YOUR HOPE! 

We encourage you to change your media diet, be selective in your audio diet and also start building up further faith based habits such as reading biblical based books and always remember to check the bible for the truth in all you indulge yourself in.
