D&C 27:15-18 discusses the armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-20). Verse 18 mentions the helmet of salvation (see also Isaiah 59:17). I feel like the scriptures discussing the helmet of salvation are referring to clarity of thought related to an understanding of the plan of salvation. If I study and understand the gospel, that understanding will act as a protection to me.
In a letter to the Corinthians, Paul said (2 Corinthians 10:3-6) we don’t fight flesh wars. We fight to cast down “imagination”, everything that exalts itself above the “knowledge” of God, and bring into captivity every “thought” to the obedience of Christ.
Our daily spiritual battle includes living in a physical world, acting, serving, and doing, but these scriptures point out that a large part of the battle is in the mind.
