She Talks Life: The Armor

To understand this piece of armor, I invite you to see it in two parts to grasp its full meaning. First, the Helmet! A helmet in any sense of the word describes a piece of hefty material formed to the shape of one's head Its sole purpose is protecting one of the most valuable parts of the human body - the human mind. The Helmet of salvation is no exception. It helps to aid us against any spiritual attacks sent to pervert or corrupt, the balance of our thought-life. Secondly, this armor references our Salvation - or the acceptance of our Lord Jesus Christ as written in Acts 16:30-31. By referencing both “protection” and “salvation“, it invites us to put on a renewed mindset that focuses on the attributes of being a daughter/child of God. Putting this practice to work daily will help offset the thought patterns that come with an unrenewed mind.

REASON: An unbalanced thought life is consumed by thoughts that don’t align with God's perfect will for our lives. Those thoughts leave us vulnerable to attacks from the enemy. We cannot fully walk out our God-given purpose without God's true protection over our minds and the thoughts we think.
