The phrase “whole armor,” used in Ephesians 6:11 pictures a Roman soldier who is FULLY dressed in his armor from head to toe. Everything the soldier needed to successfully combat his adversary was at his disposal. Likewise, God has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED to successfully combat opposing spiritual forces! NOTHING IS LACKING! It is too bad the some denominations and Charismatic organizations have majored only on certain parts of the armor of God.

There is nothing wrong with the routine of pretending to put on spiritual armor, in fact it may be very beneficial to help people focus on their spiritual walk (especially children). This physical simulation does not ACTUALLY put the whole armor of God on anyone. The armor of God is ours by virtue of our relationship with God. That is why in writing in the genitive case which can indicate its source or origin is IN GOD and freely bestowed on those who continually draw their life and their existence FROM GOD!

A person who goes through the actions of putting on their spiritual armor does something along the lines of this: they reach down to their waist and pretends like they are actually wrapping the loinbelt of truth around their body. The they reach around their chest as if they are actually placing a breastplate of righteousness across their upper torso. They bend down and act as if they are putting shoes of peace on their feet. They then pretend to put on a helmet of salvation and then reach over and “pick up” a shield of faith to carry throughout the day. Finally, they simulate the movements of one who is placing a sword in its scabbard at his side. (try this, it may help you)

Even though the believer has put their spiritual life on “hold” and has in actuality laid aside their spiritual armor, you can repent and pick up your armor and walk in fellowship with the Lord. There are some Christians who when they wake up in the morning, go through a process of acting as though they are “putting on” their spiritual armor. We’ll look at that on tomorrow’s blog.

Although the power of God is still available to that believer, his “who cares?” attitude temporarily pulls the plug on his Power Source. Why? BECAUSE THIS SPIRITUAL POWER HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE LORD! Thus, when a believer stops walking in fellowship with the Lord, he is choosing to temporarily stop the flow of this divine power into his life.

While abundant life still belongs to you, this state of stagnation will pull the plug on your spiritual walk, allowing the abundant lie you once enjoyed to drain away until you eventually feel empty inside. Why does this happen? Because ABUNDANT LIFE HAS ITS SOURCE IN THE LORD! When you temporarily cease to walk in fellowship with God, you are electing to temporarily walk away from His divine flow of abundant life.

Does that believer continue to enjoy the operation of God’s power in his life? CERTAINLY NOT1

In the same way that we draw our life, our new nature, and our spiritual power FROM GOD, this spiritual armor also comes FROM GOD as well. What happens to your spiritual life when you temporarily cease to walk in fellowship with the Lord? Do you really enjoy the abundant life that you had experienced in the past? OF COURSE NOT! We need to make the conscious decision to DO Matthew 6:33.

It never ceases to amaze me when we ignore our spiritual lives and cease to walk in the power of God…and then complain because it seems like all kinds of trouble are breaking loose in our lives. We often look for deep, dark reasons for the trouble that seemingly has erupted in our lives, when the explanation for the outbreak of confusion is actually very simple. Spiritual armor has its source in God. So, when a believer temporarily ceases to walk in fellowship with AND in the power of God, they are choosing to temporarily step away from the source from which the armor comes!

Because this weaponry has its origin in God, it is VITAL for us to remain in unbroken fellowship with Him in order for us to continually enjoy the benefits of our spiritual armor. If we break fellowship with the Lord we step away from our all-important Power Source. But as long as our fellowship with the Lord is unbroken, the Power Source for our spiritual weaponry also remains intact.
