Man was designed and created to walk in communion with the Lord. Upon becoming a new creation in Christ, we learn to renew our mind to the word of God, resulting in the mind of Christ residing in us. We learn to crucify our flesh daily with its affections and lusts. We learn to cultivate the kind of relationship God desires us to walk in, daily communion. As we do this we are praying without ceasing, speaking to God off and on all day long. But not only speaking to him but hearing him speak to us as well. This is walking in him, hidden in Christ, this is the way we walk in the whole armor of God. Glory to God!!!
