Picture it- You are a soldier in the military, and you are about to leave the barracks for the battlefield, where you are instructed to plunge into the center of the enemy! Before you leave. however, you must go to the supply room to make sure you are properly equipped. You must have the proper clothing and weapons in order to achieve victory. Knowing what awaits you on the battlefront, do you leave your helmet back at the base? How about your boots? Do you suppose you'll march very well without those? Or, how about if you take your boots, helmet, and bullet-proof vest but decide to leave your weapon behind. Will you have much success without that? Of course not! How foolish it would be for anyone to engage in warfare without taking full advantage of every resource available.
Sadly, there are many in the body of Christ who do not take advantage of every aspect of the "armor" that God has provided. They are not equipped to engage the enemy, which is why they avoid the battlefield altogether. Perhaps they are not aware that there is a battle going on at all.
