Since Jesus declared Himself to be meek, some perceive Him as a sissy-type character. 

Nothing could be further from the truth. To many, "meekness" suggests the idea of passivity, someone who is easily imposed upon, spinelessness, weakness. 

In the Greek New Testament, "meek" is from the Greek term praus. It does not suggest weakness; rather, it denotes strength brought under control. The ancient Greeks employed the term to describe a wild horse tamed to the bridle. In the biblical sense, therefore, being meek describes one who has channeled his strengths into the service of God. Males who perceive Jesus to be a sissy, are often the same ones who will not join the French foreign legion to gain mental and physical strength. And lack of restraint (perversion, gluttony, pride, sloth) exposes them to be spirtually weak as well. Self-discipline is a trait that belongs to the strong.

An old-school martial artist, when challenged by a thug, will not cause excruciating pain, for he knows his strength. It's about making honorable decisions and taking responsibility, bearing the solitude of leadership.

Warrior A man after God's own Heart

David (after God's heart: 1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22) had elite soldiers while Saul's kinsmen from Benjamin drew sword and were skillfull bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the left hand!

God blesses a skilled army, Judges 20:15-17 'all these were men of war'

From the series Supernatural (was very good serie, the demonology spot on); Dean: I thought angels were supposed to be guardians. Fluffy wings, halos.. Not dicks. Castiel: Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier.Ignorance is bliss means; if one is unaware of an unpleasant fact or situation one cannot be troubled by it. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice". This quote is attributed to Donny Miller, a Christian spiritual writer.

Saints as executors

1 Sam 17:45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."

We are all fed up!

Now pay attention:

1) on one occasion, during the reign of King David, when the Angel of the Lord is about to destroy Jerusalem, God has to tell it to put his sword away.

2) When Jesus was arrested on the night before the crucifixion, one of the disciples grabbed a sword and sliced off the ear of one of the perpetrators. Jesus told him to put away the sword

Spiritual Warfare

The kingdoms of the world are made up of people and systems in rebellion against God. Remember Satan telling Jesus that if he bowed to him, he would have given "ALL the kingdoms of the world and their glory" (Matt 4:8) to him? John 12:31, 1 John 5:19, 2 Cor 4:4 Satan rules with his own (fallen) angelic ranks (Daniel 1:13 Persia) over the current system of sinful opposition to God.

Eph 6:12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world,and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.

Angels being executors

Angels are executors of God's judgment. They were involved in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 19:1, 12-13). God used angels in bringing the plagues on Egypt (Psalm 78:43, 49) and sent the destroying angel (see also Cor 10:10) to execute the firstborn in Egypt (Ex 12:13, 23). Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

If you are strong and Satan cannot get a hold of you, he will go after people around you hoping it will effect you. So you will always need to be vigilant.
When God gives you a new beginning, it starts with an ending.. He will isolate you!
Before you were born he knew you.
God allowed Peter to fall in the water, thus did not let him drown. God allowed Daniel to be thrown into the lions den, but didn't let him be eaten. God will always get you out of your situation, you just need to have more faith and stop doubting
Jesus won in the desert, Eve lost in paradise. It's not the place. It's the decisions; birds seek shelter in the rain where eagles will soar above those clouds. The devil doesn't care about you serving him, he just wants you to not serve God. 

Angels Are ALWAYS Packing Heat

More often than not if an angel shows up to an event in the Bible it is to harm someone. On one occasion, during the reign of King David, when the Angel of the Lord is about to destroy Jerusalem,

God has to tell it to put his sword away.

This is small fry for the Archangels. They lead armies into battle and are in training for the final showdown at Armageddon.The first angel mentioned in the Bible is the (guardian) angel that guards the entrance to the Garden of Eden with a fiery ever- turning sword.Seraphim are large six-winged snakes that fly. Cherubs aren't well-fed babies, they're winged lions. Or have four faces, a wheel of fire with eyes lining the rim - you name it. They didn't traditionally introduce themselves with "Fear not!" for nothing.

And these are the good angels. By the time we get to the New Testament, angels have settled into their roles as messengers and heavenly bouncers. They look like human beings.

2 Kings 2:23-24 23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. "Get out of here, baldy!" they said. "Get out of here, baldy!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
