In Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10 to 20 Paul instructs the Christian to put on the whole armour of God. This panoply of God is not only so that I might stand in testimony in the world but so too that I might stand in the presence of God, enjoying fellowship with Him through Christ! It has always been the strategy of Satan to disrupt fellowship between the Christian and God! Adam fell and Job felt blow upon blow! Putting on the whole armour of Ephesians 6 permits the Christian to tap into those deep resources of God's all sufficient power that with the girdle of truth and breast plate of righteousness we might might know His intrinsic power, the power that He is, His ischus power, with feet shod with the preparation of the gospel and shield of faith we may move forward with His dynamic power, the power that He does and weilding the sword of the Spirit, the word of God with the helmet of salvation I may achieve victory, His acheiving power, His 'kratos'. Christian put on the whole armour of God and get into His presence.
