The Apostle Paul continues which is, “………the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” The word “word” is RHEMA, which is one of the most familiar Greek words used in the New Testament. It describes something that is SPOKEN CLEARLY, SPOKEN VIVIDLY, SPOKEN IN UNDENIABLE LANGUAGE, or SPOKEN TO UNMISTAKABLE, UNQUESTIONABLE, CERTAIN and DEFINITE TERMS! In the New Testament, the word RHEMA carries the idea of A QUICKENED WORD, such as a word of Scripture or a “word from the Lord: that the Holy Spirit supernaturally drops into a believer’s mind, thus causing it to supernaturally come alive and impart special power or direction to that believer.

As you faithfully meditate on the Word of God and allow it to work in your thought life, your mind WILL be renewed. Salvation will become so REAL to you that you will become so convinced of your salvation and of all its benefits…that your mind will be able to rest securely in God, no longer capable of being penetrated by doubt and unbelief. With the helmet of salvation firmly in place you will be completely surrounded…. both MENTALLY and EMOTIONALLY…by the unassailable truth of all that is your in Jesus Christ.

When the helmet of salvation is wrapped tightly around your mind, the devil’s strategies to take you captive CANNOT WOK! That is why salvation is depicted in Ephesians 6 as a defensive weapon. It’s a weapon that protects your mind from such hellish assaults. The devil has plans to rob you of every blessing that God has prepared for you. He wants to take every good thing from you that he can. So it’s up to you to fil your mind with all that God has done for you. Let that knowledge of salvation and all of its benefits become like a helmet of bronze on your head to protect your mind from the “battleaxe” of the enemy.

The fact that Paul likens salvation t a helmet means that we must learn about our salvation and find out all that it includes, inside and out. Once the knowledge of our salvation and all that it is becomes a part of us, it won’ matter how hard the devil tries to hit and whack away at us. We will know BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT what Jesus’ death and resurrection purchased for us. Ath that point, the enemy will no longer be able to attack our minds as he did in the past, because he won’t be able to get past our impenetrable HELMET OF SALVATION!

Remember that the enemy knows your “buttons” and he knows that until you get your mind completely renewed to the Word of God, you will always be in a battle. The enemy knows that if he can seize control of your thought life, then he can begin to extend his influence to other areas. From this position of control, he will try to manipulate your emotions, send sickness and disease to attack your body, and so on. But God has given us a protection from such attacks, the HELMET OF SALVATION!

In order to keep your mind from being struck in the future by those vicious fiery darts that come to deceive and destroy, it is imperative that you PICK UP YOUR SHIELD OF FAITH ONCE AGAIN. But you cannot stop there. You have to keep your faith strong with a daily soaking in the presence of the Holy Spirit and in the water of the Word. Then you have to hold your shield up before you continually so that it covers and protects every area of your life.

Maybe you have felt the stab of the enemy’s arrows in the past because your faith wasn’t OUT IN FRONT where it belonged. Those malignant arrows may have brought sorrow, pain, suffering, or mental distress. They may have assaulted your soulish realm, hitting our mind and emotions. The enemy knows that the MIND is the strategic control center of your life. If he can seize your thoughts he can then begin to engage warfare against the other parts of your being.

PD & Kathy

Think about it, how much damage can the devil’s fiery darts do to you if you by faith immediately cast them down? Those arrows can’t harm you if they are lying on the ground around your feet. That’s what the shield of faith does for you. It puts out the fire of the devil’s hellish accusations and knocks them down to the ground, where the deceptive powers cease to influence you.

Yesterday’s trivia: Washed their feet. (John 13:1-5)

Faith that is ignored nearly always breaks and falls to pieces during a confrontation with the enemy. On the other hand, when you are carrying your well-maintained shield of faith, satan’s deadly arrows lose their power and fall to the ground. Thus you escape, and his strategies against you are thwarted and brought to powerlessness! That is why God’s Word COMMAND US to cast down “……………..imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God.” (2 Cor. 10:5)

Yesterday’s trivia; Dust of the ground (Gen. 2:7)

The Roman soldier’s shield is a representative of our faith, this analogy tells us that our faith requires frequent anointings of the Holy Spirit. Without a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit’s power on your life, your faith will become hard, stiff, and brittle. If you ignore your faith and allow it to go undeveloped, never seeking a fresh anointing of God’s Spirit to come upon your life, your faith won’t be soft, supple, and pliable enough to stand up under attack when a challenge comes your way.
