Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6:17
salvation is a helmet. a helmet protects the head. protection of the head saves lives in times of mishap. use your salvation as a helmet to guard against Satan's knowledge-based attacks to our head. be assured! that our salvation is with the Lord!
the word of God is a Christian's weapon. a weapon repels another's attack, and also has the capability to wound the opponent. the weapon is the offensive piece of armour. it is the weapon that gives us the victory. don't just sit there defending Satan's attack; resist! fight back! with Biblical wisdom and application!
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. .. - Ephesians 6:18
the succeeding verse to v.17 starts with an 'And' - indicating a continuity.
we don't just wear the armour and sit there. we go to battle - we pray!
MY APPLICATION: to pray every night during this campaign for my contacts. we are at war, after all.
