We've been mistreated and falsely accused at church or at work. Satan is sifting . Satan's incoming mortars of fear are landing all around us, sifting everything unprotected . Eventually, even mercenaries' get tired fighting. It's natural not to want to participate in war.
War is hell.
Satan agrees fully. That's WHY he specializes in it. Not one earthly commander commands without suffering pain along with his or her soldiers in battle. No commander can look upon even ONE of his or her soldiers and feel good when that soldier is suffering. God looked down on this planet since the moment Adam and Eve sinned, and He started suffering.
