Keep Your Helmet On
Could you imagine having a whole football team playing
without a helmet? It would be a disaster. As rough as the game can get there would be
injuries. Just this past week I know one
of the guys got his helmet ripped off his head and had an injury of some sort
and was bleeding. I'm not saying he didn't put it on properly, but
could that make it easier for the enemy to
rip it off his head?
In not wearing a helmet
they wouldn't be keeping their head safe, they would be risking their own mind. Even if they had a helmet on, but did not put it on correctly, it still would
not keep them completely safe.
A helmet was made to
keep a football players head and mind safe from injury, but if they choose not
wear one it doesn't work. Any kind of
head gear is to keep a person's safe from injuries.
A person for example riding a motorcycle without a helmet would be at a
greater risk for a permanent head injury than a football player.
The bible tells us to
put on the helmet of salvation. God
tells us to put on a helmet because we are in danger without one. Knowing we are in a spiritual battle as a
people, we know God's not speaking of physical injuries in this passage. Salvation is what we put on when we accept Christ as our personal Savior. We become safe or saved for eternity through what
Christ has done for us. Because we are sealed by what Jesus did for us.
We are to keep our minds in Christ Jesus and not allow satan to have any strongholds in our thought life. We are to fill our minds with the Word, knowing that the devil has taught many to play mind games with the unsuspecting and in deceit can collect information, posing as a friend. We know this because we know Judas did this to Jesus.

It is vital not to
let contrary ideas enter our minds as fact knowing the bible opposes the idea. To do so would be the equivalent of a football player receiving an injury which
causes brain damage.
Remember to keep your
helmet on , put it on correctly and don't let anyone try to rip it off your head. Cause
in the spiritual battle the devil wants to get to your head, but don't
let him. Keep your helmet on straight.
