When we come under attack we tend to feel like we've been bashed on the head! That's the reason we're told to wear the helmet of salvation. (Ephesians 6:17) Part of the enemy's strategy is to try to influence us to think his thoughts of defeat and hopelessness. But if we have our helmet on we'll be ready for him and we wont be crushed.
The helmet of salvation represents what salvation is for the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. So what is it? So often we've only been taught salvation is forgiveness of sins and rescue from Hell but that is only a part of it.

In the original language, salvation is the Greek word 'Soteria' which means rescue or safety (physically or morally), deliverance, health, saving, defence or defender.
So when we say Jesus is our Saviour we're saying He is our Defender, our Rescuer from judgement, punishment and anything the enemy attacks us with. He is our Healer and Health Giver or Restorer, He is our Deliverer from sin, guilt, condemnation, poverty, lack in any form, and from any plan of the enemy. Our salvation is our defence.
So next time we put on our helmet of salvation we can acknowledge fully what it represents and what it means in the spirit realm. The enemy can see your helmet and he knows what it means! So let's put our helmets on! (and all the other armour while we're at it).😊
When Paul says don't be intimidated, it's because there's no need for us to be. Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
As you begin this new week, and put your salvation helmet on, wear it with confidence in your Saviour. With Him in you and for you, you are well able to go into your week with your head held high knowing you're fully protected. Amen, thank You Jesus.
