Ephesians 6:17 "Take the helmet of salvation…"
The Roman soldiers, just like today’s soldiers, wore helmets on their heads to protect the head. The head contains vital organs like the eyes, ears, mouth and brain for the coordination and functioning of the human being. The brain is central to the working of the whole body through stability, thinking, coordination and decision making and action.
Every battle is won or lost first in the mind. Actual transformation of a person is in the mind. Attitude which determines behavior is in the mind. Strongholds and beliefs that hold people captive are in the mind. Decisions to change is in the mind. Whatever people say or do, comes through the mind. Given such importance of the mind, it is critical that it is protected, because once the head is damaged, you die
There is alot that bombards our minds. Seive it. The gospel truth that brings salvation, fed into the mind will transform and align our beliefs and thinking to God’s ways and mind. What you belief, you speak and act on. Deliberately let God’s word fill your mind and transform your thought pattern, speech, action, and life. Reject what is not of God. That’s the secret to a victorious life over the enemy.
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Shalom children of God
