You need the helmet of salvation
For the entire month of April, the Powerzone Ministries' daily devotionals will focus on Spiritual Weapons. The enemy is looking to kill, steal and destroy us. Learn how to defeat the enemy with the weaponry God has given to all believers.
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44

Just how important do you believe that having this particular piece of the Armour on is; on diverse occasions in life? In the game of football, you must wear this piece of equipment. In baseball when you're standing at home plate; it's like the American Express Card, "don't leave home without it!" If you are going to ride a motorcycle, it's foolish not to put one on. I can just about guarantee you that either you or perhaps someone you know has suffered greater consequences for riding a bike without this protective gear. When a soldier goes out to battle, he better have one on for protection. Yes, I'm referring to a helmet.
The helmet protects the organ that your enemy wants to attack the most, and that's the mind! In football or baseball, when a player is purposely hit in the head; a stiff penalty will follow! Even a suspension is more than likely to occur! The Bible says "And take the helmet of salvation” Ephesians 6:17.The head is where the actions of life derive from. If the head is wounded, the actions and choices made are not sound. The enemy wants you confused and the head is the targeted place to attack to make it happen. The enemy and his minions want you to doubt that you're saved! They'll try to convince you that God is angry with you, and he hasn't forgiven you!
The enemy will never tell you the truth! Jesus Himself says "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44. You have been forgiven, and when you sin or miss the mark, you and I are offered the opportunity to be restored into fellowship with God by simply confessing. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and cleanses us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9. Praise God for the blood of Jesus! What are your thoughts?
