Don't Lose Your Head

Ephesians 6: 17 - 'And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;'

As God's people, we must embrace and understand - NOW is not the time to lose our heads! We must don the helmet of salvation - therein lies the seat of our KNOWLEDGE...this is where the battle rages!

2 Corinthians 10:3-6
³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

The devil will always challenge what you KNOW about God, not what you feel! You cannot fight a knower with feelings! You are no match with your feelings and emotions, and visions, and experience...this will NEVER impress the devil! He hovered over the throne of God for crying out loud! What have you to express compared to that? If you're gonna bring it to the devil, bring the facts!

Let me ask you, what do you know about your God? Too many of God's people are bringing a heart battle to a head fight! Understand this truth...THE DEVIL HAS NO COMPASSION...his mission is to destroy you and he really doesn't care how you feel about it!

Matthew 4:1-11

Satan Tempts Jesus

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ² And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. ³ Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”^[a]
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’

and,

‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”^[b]

⁷ Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”^[c]

⁸ Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you,^[d] Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”^[e]
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
If you notice in this scripture - Jesus never expressed how He felt while dealing with the devil - He came with nothing but the facts...IT IS WRITTEN! No doubt, Jesus was hungry, thirsty, tired, and a list of other unpleasant feelings, but when it came to deal with the enemy, it was all about what He KNEW!

The helmet of salvation covers your head...the Head speaks of authority and leadership...you spend all this time fighting battles by yourself...where's your helmet? Don't allow the devil to assault your mind...get some humility and cover yourself!!

Sweetheart, let your husband be the leader! God placed him there for a reason - it's designed to protect you...where's your helmet? Quit fighting the devil with your feelings, instead, tell him what you know to be true about the King of kings and Lord of lords!!
