210 Angel of Light
Just like angels or demons can see if the armor is on or not, they can
also see if only part of it is on. That is why the Bible says in Ephesians
six to put on the whole armor. The helmet of salvation has to do with
our thought life. The armor goes over our spirit man obviously not over
our bodies. Demons continually put thoughts into people’s heads.
When the helmet is on, there is an added grace to overcome in this
area. Demons will always tell someone they are not saved, or after a
deliverance, demons will tell the person they are not delivered. When
the helmet is on our minds there will be an added grace to know these
are lies and throw out the thoughts as lies and replace them with the
right thoughts, thus renewing our minds. Remember that the word for
saved in the Greek in most places is sozo which I have already talked
about. The Greek word for salvation in regard to the helmet of salvation
is the word soterion which means “defense.” It is implying that we
defend the truth in our minds. We defend that we are saved, healed (if
we have been), delivered (if we have been), etc…. It is a defending of
the truth in our minds. The mind is a great place of war. Demons play
on people’s emotions with discouragement, passivity, fear, and mood
swings. They will attack someone’s memory trying to make them dwell
on the hurt and negative in their past and attack their imagination to
get them to imagine failure, defeat, hurt, and even fearful things in their
future. They will even attack someone’s will with heaviness or passivity.
Passivity is a great enemy. It will cause people to lie down and accept
defeat, not enter war when war is needed, and not really do anything
of significance for the Lord! Many times the spirit of passivity will
be the first to attack. The reason is because if someone gives into passivity,
they will not fight off the other demonic forces sent against them
like fear, discouragement, oppression, lust, etc… Many times people
simply lie down and accept what is going on! We can’t do that, or we
will certainly be defeated. We must arise in authority and fight.
The breastplate of righteousness is so powerful. When we become a
Christian we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Cor
5:21). That means, by the blood of Jesus washing away our sins, we
are made perfectly holy before God. Now some people continue in unrepentant
sins and defile themselves, bring judgment upon themselves,
and if they keep going that direction are in danger of hell, but I am talking
about those that love the Lord and are attempting to live a true
Christian life. For those of you that truly are Christ’s, you hate sin and
desire more than anything to please him. You can’t imagine choosing
sin over your Lord and great love of your life. He is everything to you.
Those that are this way, there is no condemnation for you (Romans
8:1). You may be battling certain weaknesses, but while you are fighting
know this, as you ask forgiveness, you are forgiven. You become
the righteousness of God in Christ. There are people that live in or
practice unrepentant sin, and they are in danger of hell, but you are not
