“Put on salvation as your helmet...” Ephesians 6:17 NLT)
The fifth piece of armor is the helmet. The helmet covers and protects the head, and today it represents our mind an health.
Many times, evil forces try to readjust our minds with the intention of leaving us incapable of doing the work of God. It's function is to blind peoples understanding of Gods Word and His will.
How many people stop practicing and living according to the word of God because of fear, doubt ad depression? That's why many people live with an anguished spirit . 1 Thessalonians 5:8 says: "But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation."
It's to say, the helmet brings to us hope and faith that our salvation and victory are guaranteed.
We must have the same mind of Christ and think according to His word and not merely be subject to the way we think.

An army man, even when they are not going to war, they are always armed and ready. It might be that I am not in the church everyday all day but I must always be armed, the enemy can attack no matter where you are. Inside the church, or worse outside. the Holy spirit will protect us from all mental attacks. He is our spiritual mind and with Him we can pass any test given.
This is absolutely true, Mrs. Tania. We must have the same mind as God, and the devil is constantly scheming to blind our spiritual vision. So if we have this helmet on, we are further strengthened to turn away from his mind traps.
This explains so much the amount of peopel that are depressed or have mental health In England is beyond imagination. The mind is the battlefield, once satan attacks it the whole body is useless.
This is true. To be in this battle we have to have the same mind of God. We need his wisdon to guide us through and even through our daily battles.
You know also whilst reading this something else came to my mind. When we wear a helmet the sound from outside the helmet is faint almost blocked out & this is the same spiritually if we are wearing our helmet (salvation) then no doubt can tell us otherwise of ourselves. VERY STRONG!
The phrase "Put on salvation as your helmet" means keep out the evil thoughts the devil places in your mind and stay true to God. For example fighting against your carnal wishes. Ephesian 6:11
Thank you Mrs Tania
To have a mind that is after God's is not easy but not impossible.It is a daily battle to overcome the carnal
Dear Mrs. Tania
This messages is powerful because our mind is where satan works to destroy us. It is also where God can raise us up.
Thank you.
Dear Mrs. Tania what you are saying is true we have to think like God and we can be aware of the thoughts of God by reading the bible.
If our mind is connected to God, we are protected. Its very important to constantly feed our thoughts with the things of God because our mind grows from what we feed on.
