How thick is your helmet?

"Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. ¹⁵ For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. ¹⁶ In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. ¹⁷ Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."- Ephesians 6: 14-17

Helmet of Salvation:

Besides your heart, your head, and brain, are the most important part of you. The brain tells every part of your body what to do and when to do it, it decides what you think about and what you say. You could even say, that the brain is the head honcho. ( :) )

It is so important that you have complete control of your brain. Your head determines what goes into your heart. And the bible says out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So you have to be very careful with what you allow into your head.

The devil knows that whatever you allow into your head will eventually get into your heart. The devil gets into your heart in sneaky ways, through music, friends, books, TV, any type of media, He is very smart and knows what you like. He knows how to manipulate them into what he wants them to be. So how can we possibly counter attack his attacks when he comes in from all directions?

The answer is quite simple really. The Word. The Bible says that heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. What does that mean? It means that even though everything and everyone may go away and leave us alone, God's word and promises will continually stay with us. By us meditating on the Word and praying to the Lord we will grow in Him, and we will speak His word. By us doing those things we will be able to defend ourselves from the devil's wily attacks.
The more that we meditate and pray on God's words the more that we will grow, and the thicker helmet we will acquire. And the thicker the helmet, the more we can counter attack.

So today I want to challenge you to thicken your helmet. If you haven't accepted Jesus into your heart just repeat this prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for dieing on the cross for me. Thank you for writing my name in the Lamb's Book of Life and for forgiving me for all of past, present, and future wrongs. I love you Lord. In your mighty name, Amen.
You are now a child of God. Talk to you pastor or someone who is older than you and who knows the Lord on a deep level.
Thicken your helmet.
