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