Putting on the Armor of God is done in your mind of real faith.
Putting on the Armor of God is to understand who you are in Christ, which is the renewed mind.
That's how you put it on, and keep it on.
Let me show you a mystery.
Your "old man", is "crucified with Christ"........so, WHO is Left?
WHO is left, if your old man, is dead?
Paul tells us to reckon the old man dead.....to esteem this old man of the flesh, dead.
If he wasn't dead, then Paul would not tell you to understand that He is dead, and God would not tell you to put on His Armor.
Listen........
God does not put His Spiritual Armor on the dead. He puts it on the NEW MAN, the "new Creation in Christ", Born again.
See it?
So, if the old man, and your sin, has been crucified with Christ, then Who IS LEFT= is the REAL YOU THAT GOD Sees.
As what remains is who you have become, as born again, in Christ.
This is the REAL YOU.... the NEW YOU, that God sees, as you being born again..
This is the "New Creation in Christ".
When you put him on, you are putting on right understanding regarding the revelation of who you have become as "the righteousness of God in Christ".
So, when you understand this.......when you SEE IT..........when you get the revelation, you are now coming into the renewed mind, and that is how you put on the ARMOR....as the Armor is the New Man. You do it in your MIND OF FAITH regarding now having the understanding that God has made you a "new creation in Christ".....= born again as : "The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD"......"In Christ".
That is who you became, if you are born again, and to understand this and maintain this right mind, is to "put on the new man", which is the "armor of God".
Ephesians 4:24, KJV: And that ye put on the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 4:24, NASB: and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
