Attenuate (at-TEN-oo-ate)
Reduce the force, effect, amount, thickness, or value of anything (The patient’s muscles were attenuated. The trees are attenuated from being too close together).
Spiritually: Wearing Christ’s body armor (Ephesians 6) reduces the power, effect, and amount of Satan’s sin-attacks, and it reduces the value we put on the material things in this world, and it reduces the number of worldly-minded friends and activities that choke out the light of God from above. That’s pretty powerful armor…attenuate.
