To be clear, I never said neither. I believe you'll see that if you look carefully at our exchange.

And my agreement with Ephesians 6 is the armor of God being an everlasting protection. Which I believe is donned when the  Holy Spirit of God seals us. 

You are correct.  You actually dodged giving an answer.

If the armor of God is automatically donned when we received the Holy Spirit, why are we told to put it on?

Allow me to ask, when you first began your walk with Christ, did you know, understand and follow Ephesians 6?  Do you actually believe all who are His walk in their armor?  Seems like you are speaking only from personal experience, as I have experienced being oppressed by Satan and demonic forces, and I was not that deep into the deliverance ministry either.

I have not spoken of deliverance ministry and I do not know of that. 

And of course I speak personally. You asked what I believe.

Do you base all your beliefs from personal experiences or the experiences of others?  I am not trying to twist anything here, just trying to understand where your foundation of a Christian cannot be oppressed comes from.

I actually did not dodge the answer. Mounce Interlinear version Ephesians 6:10-18

The understanding of the Greek informs we are to enter into the full awareness of the armor of God both offensive and defensive. Recognizing the protection, assuming the protection upon ourselves as sons and daughters of God.

Planet,why would we have to wear our spiritual armor ? 

To stand against the oppression of the enemy He will try to make us missable.. but if we wear it,we know what to do...

 

It's our protection..

I take Jesus at his word. It is a relationship. Relationships are personal. I glean my information from the scriptures and my personal experience as a Christian in relationship with Jesus Christ.

Because Satan prowls the world like a hungry lion seeking souls to devour. As scripture tells us. 

Do you imagine putting on the protection of God is like putting on clothing? Something we have to consciously assume when we awaken? Before we go to bed?

Yes, I do at all time realize who I am in Christ  and thank Jesus that He saved me and that He's able to keep me until the end, in Him alone  I'm safe, I ask for wisdom to know what He wants me to know or do  or not do.. :) Praise God for His Holy Spirit who will help us to know all truth....

Yes, I agree we need to understand how the words are used when it was written/spoken.  The phrase, To put on - enduo (G1746)

en (G1722) means "in"

duo (G1416) means "to sink into, go in or under, to put on".

To put on as a garment, to cause to get into a garment, to cloth, to dress; spoken of armor in Romans 13:12; Ephesians 6:11, 14; 1 Thessalonians 5:8

If we are to put on, it is something we have to do and is not automatic.  This is the reason why people do become oppressed as they did not put on the whole armor of God, not do they always wear it and ensure it is full of strength, which in found in Christ.
