THE SEED
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17
We also need the protection offered by the “helmet of salvation” against evil thoughts. The “helmet of salvation” is the insurance that as long as we are totally surrendered to the Lord, living in obedience to Him, we cannot lose our salvation. Therefore, let us not hesitate to resist the lies of the enemy by which he attempts to make us doubt the love and salvation that we have in Christ Jesus. The following are some of the best Bible verses that we can use to “put on the helmet of salvation” in spiritual warfare: “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29). The Word of God becomes an effective “sword” for the one who learns and applies it. The Scripture is the truth, and when we apply it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can defeat the lies and deceptions of the enemy and even of our own carnal nature. The proclamation of the Word of God has power and strengthens our faith.
BIBLE READING: JOHN 10
PRAYER: Please help me to always surrender it all unto You, to live to please You in all I am and do, so that I will never want to leave from the palm of Your hand. I can be sure of my salvation every time I proclaim God’s Word in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
