Ephesians 6:17 AMP
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
We continue our studies on the various weapons that the Lord has made available to us for our use. Today we take up the helmet of salvation and Sword of the Spirit.
The helmet is worn on the head for protection, all our thinking, thoughts and the majority of our five senses are on the head. We therefore need the “helmet ” to secure our salvation by checking us against things we see, hear and even say. Our thoughts and confessions can keep us or make us lose our salvation so easily. Another defensive weapon we need dearly.
The next weapon is the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This is the only offensive weapon among the set of God’s armour. It is the Word of God that can cut through every situation we find ourselves even through the marrow. The Sword of the Spirit should therefore be with us all the time by dwelling richly in us so that we employ it whenever and wherever it is required.
May the Lord help us to employ the weapons of helmet of salvation and Sword of the Spirit for our defensive and offensive spiritual battles. May we overcome and conquer every battle in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
