He sees who we really are, and He wants us to ''put on'' His truth as the foundation of our armor.
In the natural world, we have 3D glasses that make movies look more real - God sees us from a much better perspective than we see ourselves. It is like God sees us with 4D glasses.
Time is often referred to as the ''fourth dimension.'' We cannot move freely in time, but God can - He can see the entire span of history at once. He can see the past and the future at the same time, and He always knows what He is doing. When we come to see our reality the way God sees our reality, we will be protected from the enemy' ...
