Helmet of Salvation
In the Bible, there is the "helmet of salvation" that one wears when putting on the whole armor of God. I used to ponder that and wonder why it was called that? What exactly is it that we cover with our head when we wear the helmet of salvation and how does one do that?
These days I have been wearing the helmet of salvation and for me this is what it is. It is when everything is too confusing to figure out, with the "voices" in your head (not psychotic voices, but doubting thoughts) argue with your common sense and you don't have your common sense anymore because you are following hard after Christ and he is leading you in a way in which you can not depend upon your common sense. You have given up common sense and are having the mind of Christ and are walking in power and strength and effecting change and then the thoughts get you down and you begin to wonder. You try to make sense of the nuance if things but then get discouraged.
Then there is the helmet of salvation. "Jesus loves me, I'm saved and going to heaven." "Jesus loves me, I'm saved and going to heaven." "Jesus loves me, I'm saved and going to heaven." "Jesus loves me, I'm saved and going to heaven." "Jesus loves me, I'm saved and going to heaven."
It is so simple and the mind clears, and for today, there really isn't anything else that I need to know. I'm saved and I'm going to heaven.

The helmet of salvation...to me, it's putting your head on right, protecting your mind from unhealthy thoughts...and this comes from God through the Holy Spirit. I love that whole part about the armor of God in Ephesians because it's about spiritual warfare. You don't wanna leave home without it. And you don't wanna BE home without it. Let's just say you don't wanna ever be without it. :)
thanks! I needed this today! he really is ALL that really matters
AMEN!
Jesus loves me, I'm saved and I'm going to Heaven.
That clears up a bunch of junk that's been rolling around in my head all week. Oh boy... you know sometimes if I can just take a step back, the fog clears.
But with Jesus, it seems like you need to dive into Him headlong for the fog to clear. He is awesome!
This is so good and so important! I always say each morning, "I put on the helmet of salvation - that every thought be sumitted under the Word of God" and then I go through the whole armor. I can tell the days that I forget to put it on and those "thoughts" of discouragement can really affect me!
Thanks for this blog and Blesssings!
