The helmet is what protects your thoughts from lies. We are dealing with the wiles of Satan; his lies, schemes and deceits attack our minds to believe his lies and not the truth in Christ Jesus. The helmet protects your head and your head represents the center of activities for every human. If something happens to your brain, you will lose the ability to do things rationally. Your helmet protects your soul and heart; from where all the issues of life come from.
Praying in the name of Jesus is another basis for our confidence. The name of Jesus is powerful. Whatever you ask in His name, you will receive and your joy shall be full (John 16:24). That name has favour in heaven. Praying in your name won’t get you anywhere just like the Pharisees. Follow the word of God to be your lamp and light in prayers and your prayers will always bring results.
Abraham had an intimate relationship with God such that he could discuss anything with Him as a son would do with his earthly father. In Genesis 18:20 Abraham interceded for Sodom and stood before God pleading for His mercy even when he knew that God was determined to destroy the city because of their sins. Habakkuk acted in the same way in Habakkuk 2:1; taking advantage of the father–son relationship he had with God when it came to intercession. You too can go to God with His word concerning unresolved things in your life and He will show you where you are missing it; where you are not in agreement with His word.
We should ask God how to pray and search what scripture says about prayer. Then, God will show us prayer topics to pray for and how to pray for them. God’s love compels and dominates us in everything we do including prayer.
