The helmet of salvation is very important when we pray because it protects our mind. Satan does not have a leg to stand on against a Christian who knows who they are in Christ Jesus. Satan simply lies to try to steel kill and destroy (John 10: 10) but when we know the truth “the truth will set us free.” (John 8: 32).
In the Bible it tells us to constantly renew our minds and very often when it comes to us moving on in God ourselves and growing into better people satan plays all sorts of mind games with us – telling us we are not worthy, that we are not forgiven or that we are incapable. Jesus though, when He brought salvation through the cross, made a way for us and therefore when we pray and we choose to move on in God we MUST pray protection over our minds (the helmet of salvation) which assures us of who we are in Christ.
“They looked to Him and were radiant and their faces were not ashamed.”
Psalm 34: 5
Today if satan is playing games with your mind, whispering thoughts into your head and then condemning you for those same thoughts – pray on your helmet and know that God is for you and that He calls you to renew your mind and know His truth that you may be free!
