Protect Your Mind
Today’s Devotion:
Protect Your Mind
While every part of the human body is important, the two parts most critical for life are the heart and the brain. It is no surprise that soldiers past and present have sought to protect these two parts. (Witness modern bullet-proof vests and helmets.) Even ancient soldiers wore breastplates and helmets.
But so did the Messiah—at least in Isaiah’s figurative language. Paul derived his image of the breastplate of righteousness and helmet of salvation from Isaiah’s image of the Messiah (Isaiah 59:17; Ephesians 6:14, 17)—and used the image of a Roman soldier as a ready reference for his readers. So to put on the armor of God was like putting on the Messiah Himself: His truth, righteousness, faithfulness, salvation, and Word (Ephesians 6:14-17). But why the helmet of salvation? How does salvation protect the mind? When Satan tempts us to doubt our salvation and the love of God which secures it, we rely on what we know to be true.
Memorize, in your mind: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).
One of the highest and noblest functions of man’s mind is to listen to God’s Word, and so to read his mind and think his thoughts after him.

Since 2018, Turning Point has partnered with TBN Russia to bring the Gospel to our Russian brothers and sisters worldwide. Turning Point's Russian broadcasts have a potential viewership of over 200 million people spread across 100 countries. Turning Point also started a YouTube page in 2018 that will allow Russian speakers to access Bible-based teaching at their convenience. Join us in praying that Turning Point's Russian ministry will bring many people to Christ and strengthen believers through the teaching of the Word.
There are more than 10 million Russian-speaking people currently living in the U.S.
Russian is the 5th most spoken language in the world.
Get Involved:
Pray for believers in Russia to be encouraged and strengthened in their faith as they face religious restrictions put in place by the government.
Pray for Turning Point to find additional opportunities to reach Russian speakers around the world.
Pray for the furtherance of the Gospel, specifically that more people will come to Christ through Turning Point's Russian television and YouTube programs.
Impact Story
“I grew up with atheist parents. They hated anything to do with God. I was recently saved while watching Turning Point. Dr. Jeremiah opened my eyes to the truth. I understand now we have a purpose here on earth. I told my parents of my faith and they were furious. But by continually reading my Bible and being encouraged by the programs and my church, I was able to influence even my father by the changes he saw in me. I convinced him to watch Turning Point with me and after the first program, he was hooked. He kept watching each week and finally asked if he could go to church with me. He was saved that Sunday along with my mother! He then talked with his two brothers and they too received Jesus when they saw the joy in him. Thank you for turning our world around.”
