“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual force of evil in the heavenly realms.Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:10-17 Understanding it's Spiritual significance and protection. 1. The helmet identifies us with Christ "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) 2. The helmet protects against discouragement "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, of famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." - Romans 8:35, 37 "Don't let your heart be ruled by what you see. let it be ruled by what Jesus promises you. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the word you will have tribulation. But take heart; i have overcome the world." John 16:33 3. The helmet protects against doubt "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has god indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die." Genesis 3:1-4 Jesus said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee! Hebrews 13:5 "I am with you always, to the end of the age."
