Reality

When you connect with the Work (the Fourth Way) and you do the Work you need the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) for protection. You need the shield of faith (in Jesus Christ) and the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God inside you). You will provoke the world and the devil (and your own inner elements of false personality, or, the 'Old Man' within you), and being naked and innocent on the battlefield is not how a king takes to the field of battle. A babe in the Work can survive for a season naked and innocent, but as you develop more is required of you. You are recovering the image of God, being a prophet, a priest, and a king.
