Just as a Roman soldier could not reasonably enter battle with a partial suit of armor, or with only some of his weapons, a believer will not be as successful in spiritual battle unless every part of God’s armor is included.

According to Paul, Believers must plan to utilize all tools available to them. One or two pieces are not sufficient. Only with every piece of the armor of God can a believer adequately stand against the schemes of the Devil. Paul also makes it clear that Christians are engaged in a spiritual battle, not an earthly one.  www.bibleref.com/Ephesians/6/Ephesians-6-11.htm

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. 

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”  –Ephesians 6:11-20 NIV
