Be aware I am extremely hard pressed in life to come back here often, so before you even read the rest of this understand this may take me weeks to get through my full desire to understand what others mean and to respond to answers.
If you don't have that kind of patience, not a problem. I don't usually either, so I won't be upset if you walk away. BUT you might want to walk away now before even getting caught up in my questions, because this will probably take weeks to figure this out. Okay?
Now the questions. I see people talking about standing in the full armor of God often enough on here. I know what I mean when I say that. (I don't say that often.) What I'm asking is what do you mean by that?
What's the purpose of the armor to you? What do you do in it? How is your life in it? Where are you standing? What is the setting around you? What do you see in that armor? For what purpose do you wear it?

Sister:
I think I'm like comment #40 or so here. And let me say that I have not yet read all of the other comments, as my ADD and OTD sometimes prevents me from getting through a lot of the threads with numerous comments.
That being understood, I will say that I understand your reason(s) for asking the questions.
The very best example I can give in my own experience, is the experience I am now going through in my life. I know you, and others here are aware of this experience, so I will not detail it here. I will say that IF the armour of God was not surrounding me, I would probably not be here today fellowshipping with all of you.
It is BECAUSE of His armour, His strength, His blessings, and His will that I am able to be here. I know He is the REASON, my refuge, my salvation, and this is what "standing in the armour of God" means to me. Although I most often refer to it as being "protected by" the armour of God, or "surrounded by" the armour of God.
One Scripture, can't recall Book, Chapter and Verse right off, says "I am nothing without Him." For me, this is the Gospel Truth!
May He surround all of you!
