The warrior protects those behind him, inspires those beside him, and destroys all who stand in his way.  In this era of sheep, lead those around you onto the correct path, be an example and role model of how to be in a world that has lost its way.

Metus improbos compesict, non clementia. Fear, not kindness restrains the wicked.

Throughout history this truth has been known to the warrior. The Bible teaches us in Nehemiah 4:17 that those “Who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other.”

The Vikings tell us in the Havamal to “Never walk away from home ahead of your axe and sword, you can’t feel a battle in you bones or foresee a fight.”

Then their is the Gaelic Proverb “He that keeps not his arms in time of peace will have none in time of war.“

Even the founding fathers remind us of this truth "A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined;" George Washington

The Warrior is the guardian on the wall, the Shepard of the flock, the deterrent against the demons and wolves that roam the world trying to eat the sheep. “Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”

“For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.“ Romans 13:4. The fighting man is a warrior, *“he does not bear the sword in Vain. For he is a servant of God,“ he is a Demon *“an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.“ And the warrior is a protector, guardian, and angel to all those he defends.

* Romans 13:4

The Warrior is not a Warrior for their own sake but for the sake of those they protect. "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” Acts 20:28

The Warrior must always remember the call to “… defend the rights of the poor and needy,” Proverbs 31:9 and to act in the role of Guardian and mentor. The Warrior, like Christ, while powerful, is still a servant of God and the people.

Whether you are a Warrior or not you live every day in a battlefield for your very soul. It is therefor the duty of all Christians to be Prayer Warriors at the very least, shielding and aiding each other from the barbs of the Adversary.

Throughout the Bible the Lord has called upon his children, sons, and soldiers to give similarly unto those who cause contention in the land. If you live by strife, strife will be brought down upon you to stop you. Thus Police officers, and Military personnel become soldiers of Christ by bringing the enemies of peace to the reaping.

The Christian Warrior is not hypocritical, “they do not bear the sword in vain,” nor out of anger or hate. They are Guardians, and Avengers, “For he is God’s servant for your good.” The Warrior and the Soldier stand on the wall for your good, for your protection, sacrificing themselves so that the meek may inherit the earth.
