Consider the context of Ephesians 6:12. The armor is for us to take our stand against the enemy's schemes

"God's not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. The righteous never go begging and my God will meet all of my need out of His glorious riches. You spirit of fear, you get out of here and leave me alone, in Jesus name!”

This will fortify your spirit man so that your soulish mind yields
