One of the most evocative images in all of LDS scripture is the call to disciples of Christ to "put on the whole armor of God."
This call to action is found in the New Testament, the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants. Not only do the words establish the general theme of fully protecting oneself spiritually but they go into detail on how to secure protection.
The New Testament account starts with a stark description of the enemy at hand: "principalities," "powers," "rulers of the darkness of this world," and "spiritual wickedness in high places." These scary images are followed by depictions of the various pieces of "armor" needed to prevail against the enemy.
