Can someone give a summed up, simple explanation for how one does this? I was trying to research it, but still had some issues getting it. Thanks.

Put on the whole armor or God.
1. The helmet of Salvation
2. The breastplate of righteousness
3. The shield of faith
4. The sword of the spirit
5. The girdle of truth
6. The sandals of the gospel of peace
Put them on in your mind for protection against evils
It's a conscious declaration of what Christ has done for us in the face of the enemy. No soldier goes to war without his weapon and uniform. So we can say that Christ is our salvation, which is our helmet. It protects our mind. When Satan accuses us, we have the answer. Hint: it is always something that Lord Jesus has done for us. Are we attacked for our behaviour? It's not always good. But we can point to the Lord Jesus being our righteousness all the time. Satan lies continually. We put on Lord Jesus as the belt of Truth - He is the Truth! When we are unsettled because of the enemy's attacks, our stability lies in the peace that passes understanding - our footwear. We need to take the attack to the enemy. We have God's word, the Sword of the Spirit. We can attack Satan any time that we need to. It's the only weapon that we need. Again, Lord Jesus is the Word. Finally we have the shield of faith. When flaming arrows of accusation are fired at us, we can defeat them by declaring what Christ has done for us. We stand by faith in the work of Lord Jesus on the cross - He said, "It is finished!"Can someone give a summed up, simple explanation for how one does this?

It means to strengthen yourself in the Christian faith by doing these things:Can someone give a summed up, simple explanation for how one does this? I was trying to research it, but still had some issues getting it. Thanks.
I second the recommendation of the book The Armor Of God" by Priscila Shirer. I lead a Bible Study of women inmates in my jail ministry with this book. It was very illuminating and thought provoking.

I think most of us have gathered what it means, but it is probably a little hard to understand due to the fact that there is not much of a distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. I think most will agree that you do not need to be a Christian to be a good person, however, it makes perfect sense when you read it in its context which is that Paul is referring to "a day of evil" that will come in verse 13.Can someone give a summed up, simple explanation for how one does this?
