They said "it helps me witness", they said "it reminds me of what Jesus would have done", they said "it makes me feel safe" and other things, all of which we should depend on the Holy Spirit to accomplish in us.
Sometimes popular things are thought up be superficial and unthinking people, they sound good until you analyze them according to the Bible.
We should never need any article except the Bible to teach us, to remind us or for boldness. The Holy Spirit is our guide in all things, He is our mouth piece, we need to hear from Him and obey His orders.
When we depend on a bracelet we are using an idol, it negates the work of the Holy Spirit, and yet it sounds so spiritual to the simple.
Acts 4:31 "Acts 4:31
"31 And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness."
Jude 1:19-21 "…19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.…"
Matthew 28:18-20
"18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
It takes faith to trust the Holy Spirit that we cannot see.
