Armor of God: The Helmet of Salvation
battle strategies helmet of salvation spiritual armor women warriors Nov 01, 2023My Dearest Warrior of Light,
I want to share a beautiful revelation with you today, one that has etched itself deeply into my heart. It's about the notion of putting on the whole armor of God, specifically the helmet of "salvation." Why, do you think, would God instruct us to protect our minds with this particular piece of armor?
As I've delved into this, it's become clear to me that God desires us to safeguard our minds with thoughts of Jesus Christ and His profound act of salvation. You see, our minds are often the battleground where spiritual warfare wages fiercely. Satan, our adversary, relentlessly hurls negative thoughts our way, seeking to undermine our confidence in God's love and the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice.
"You have done too many things wrong. God could never love you." How many times have these insidious whispers invaded our thoughts? It's in these moments that we must rise up and affirm the truth. We need to proclaim with unwavering faith: "God loves me. I am His beloved son or daughter. I am worth saving, and through Christ, I can be made clean."
My dearest sister, the helmet of salvation is not a mere piece of armor; it's a shield for your mind and soul. It's a constant reminder of God's love and your worthiness. So, every day, place that helmet upon your head, and fortify your mind with the thoughts of Jesus and the salvation He has so graciously granted us.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:8 (KJV), we read, "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for an helmet, the hope of salvation." With the helmet of salvation, we are equipped to face each day with hope, knowing that we are unconditionally loved and eternally saved.
Take this truth with you, my fellow warrior of light, and let it illuminate your path. For you are cherished, you are redeemed, and your salvation is secure.
With love and unwavering faith,
Tamara
