    saved accepted Jesus Christ as our
  • 00:00:05
    savior we are eternally secure so when I
  • 00:00:08
    talk about putting on the helmet of
  • 00:00:09
    salvation it has nothing to do with
  • 00:00:11
    getting saved again you don't need to
  • 00:00:12
    worry about that ever again in your
  • 00:00:15
    lifetime if you have honestly placed
  • 00:00:17
    faith in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit
  • 00:00:19
    has sealed you you are his and he is
  • 00:00:22
    yours putting on the helmet of salvation
  • 00:00:24
    is more about working out your salvation
  • 00:00:27
    that is learning how to walk underneath
  • 00:00:29
    the the beauty of your new identity in
  • 00:00:32
    Christ causing the Salvation that is in
  • 00:00:34
    you to be worked outside of you and
  • 00:00:36
    living underneath all of the Privileges
  • 00:00:39
    and promises that come with being a
  • 00:00:40
    Believer that's putting the helmet on
  • 00:00:43
    you know I wrote this little book called
  • 00:00:44
    the resolution for women is quite some
  • 00:00:46
    years ago and in one of the chapters
  • 00:00:48
    that was talking about being Faithfully
  • 00:00:50
    his I decided to take quite a little bit
  • 00:00:53
    of real estate in that book to go ahead
  • 00:00:55
    and just list some of who we are in
  • 00:00:56
    Christ literally just some scripture
  • 00:00:58
    references along with one word little
  • 00:01:00
    taglines that let you know what that
  • 00:01:02
    scripture said about your identity in
  • 00:01:04
    Christ well wouldn't you know it I got a
  • 00:01:07
    couple emails from some people who were
  • 00:01:09
    a little bit upset with me that I had
  • 00:01:11
    used Prime real estate in that book to
  • 00:01:13
    not write a a chapter but to just list
  • 00:01:16
    scripture and I probably used three or
  • 00:01:18
    four pages to do it and they were
  • 00:01:19
    thinking man you should have written in
  • 00:01:21
    that chapter instead and I got to tell
  • 00:01:23
    you that when I get emails from folks
  • 00:01:25
    who I have the privilege to minister to
  • 00:01:26
    I love reading them I love to see what's
  • 00:01:28
    happening in people's lives and comment
  • 00:01:30
    and suggestion that they have they
  • 00:01:31
    really help us to be accountable in
  • 00:01:32
    Ministry but when I saw that particular
  • 00:01:35
    email I thought you got to be kidding me
  • 00:01:38
    you want my opinion more than reading
  • 00:01:40
    about what God's opinion is about who
  • 00:01:42
    you are so you know sometimes I take it
  • 00:01:45
    or leave it depending upon the email and
  • 00:01:48
    that particular one I just didn't agree
  • 00:01:50
    with I thought there's nothing better
  • 00:01:52
