Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
To perfectly understand the above scripture, look at the two words, “put on,” endýō (in Greek), which means sink down into it, or to drown in the armour of God. When you sink into something, it means you go beneath the surface of that thing. So, you’re not putting on the armour as clothing as some of you have seen perhaps in films, you’re drowning in this armour of God, so not even the smallest part is left uncovered.
The Church, in large part, has had only a surface understanding of the armour of God, a juvenile revelation of it. Until you put on—endýō—the whole armour of God, you cannot do what the next part of the verse is saying - to stand.
Notice: you are not fighting against the wiles of the devil. You are standing from a position of victory which you have already attained. You have already killed every form of negativity by simply putting on this armour. That means the purpose of the warfare is not to win. You have ALREADY WON in Christ. The purpose is to stand and maintain your position of victory.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am fully dressed in the armour of God to kill every negativity in my life today. I have already attained victory in Christ, so I STAND!
