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.

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.

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.

When Paul commanded us to “Put on the whole armor of God.” We can accept it or we can reject it. If we choose to take his command to heart, we must then learn HOW to put on the spiritual armor God has provided for us. Paul describes this weaponry as “the whole armor of God.” Especially notice the phrase “of God.” This LITTLE phrase is taken from the Greek phrase which simply put means our supernatural set of weaponry comes directly from GOD!

Paul uses the word ENDUO in Ephesians 6:11 in this same way…to denote the act of putting on a new set of clothes. However, this time he uses this word in connection with spiritual armor. He instructs us to ‘PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD….” Moreover, Paul uses the IMPERATIVE TENSE in this text. This means he is NOT making a suggestion; rather, he is issuing the very strongest kind of command that can be given. In the strongest tone of voice available, Paul is commanding; us with great urgency to take a particular kind of immediate action. He is COMMANDING AND ORDERIN US TO BE CLOTHED WITH THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD!
