Psst…Hey America – Russia is Formidable – Part 1
by Nathan Leal
(This is going to be a series that will examine how Russia is going to be a force to be reckoned with in America’s future.)
Russia is formidable.
As much as it pains me to admit it, I know that it is true. But many Americans do not know this, nor do they care. And most likely if they were told or shown, they would not believe it. Why? Because many Americans equate this admission as somehow being a betrayal of their patriotism and loyalty. This logic, by the way, does not make sense, but who ever said that Americans are always logical? In truth, many Americans have a tendency to think illogically when it comes to their patriotism and national pride.
Have you ever been guilty of this? I have. But waking up to the true condition of the nation requires a vigilant effort to see the world beyond the spectacles of “red, white and blue.”
Uh-oh, did I just say that?
Sorry folks, we have to do it. There is great deception out there. I am talking about USAville. And part of the deception involves programming Americans to bypasses logic, truth, and it also presents a skewed view of the world, which includes today’s topic, Russia.
Today, many Americans, view Russia as the, “has been” country that is still picking up the pieces from the fall of the Soviet Union. But is that all they are? Russia has been around for a long time. And they have also survived several invasion attempts. Hitler could not succeed. Neither could Napoleon.
By the way, I did not say that Russia’s military is stronger than the United States, I said that Russia was FORMIDABLE. In truth, one cannot know which military is stronger unless the United States and Russia went to war with one another. Which is eventually going to happen. And based on recent developments, the war may be closer than most people realize.
I know that it is easy to claim that that the USA is “the boss,” of the world, but cognitive dissonance and denial will only take reality so far. I know that some could argue that the United States has the highest volume of military hardware in their inventory, but the USA has already experienced failure when fighting a determined people who battle from their native jungles or mountainous desolation. Having an aircraft carrier does not mean that native insurgents will be defeated during an American occupation. And side note, Russia’s military does not consist of insurgents who hide in caves or in the jungle.
Why is Russia Formidable?
Why do I believe that Russia is formidable? There are several reasons, but I want to begin with the main one. It has to do with God.
Russia acknowledges God.
America does not.
Or to be more precise, Russian leader Vladimir Putin acknowledges God and America’s chosen one denies God. Putin is on record regularly testifying of his faith in God. He has also stated that Obama has turned the USA and the West into a godless sewer.
Putin regularly visits the church where he was baptized.
The video below is VERY telling about Putin and his faith in God. He even said he, “cherishes the cross,”…WOW!!
And by contrast Obama says that America is no longer a Christian nation.
To the average Joe six pack on the street, this information about Putin may mean nothing. But in reality, it means everything.
When we look at the Scriptures, we can read that a kingdom’s blessing is always in relation to the faith and behavior of their king and also their people.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalms 33:12
This is not just poetry. This is a spiritual law that operates with consequences. It is a truth that reaps a harvest, of either good or bad. This truth will never fail. And throughout the history of mankind, it has proven itself.
A nation that places faith in God will be stronger than its neighbors. Today, Russia’s President admits that he has faith in God while Obama openly promotes homosexuality, abortion, gay marriage, communism, socialism, Islam, and many other ideals that have destroyed other nations in the past. Below is one of Obama’s mandates that seeks to force the homosexual lifestyle on all of us. From the WHITEHOUSE WEBSITE…
“…NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2015 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, and to celebrate the great diversity of the American people.”
Many people may have an opinion about Putin, but one thing he has not done is promote homosexuality like Obama does. I know that some could argue that Putin’s Christian testimony is fake and laced with hypocritical empty words. But even if this is true, he has not displayed the abominable immoral mandates that Obama has gifted to the world like – homosexual and lesbian day…yuck!
Think about that. Can this formula have negative consequences? I believe so.
When a nation has faith in God, their swords stay sharpened. But when they forsake God, their arrows have a tendency to miss their target and fall to the ground.
I know that some may argue that in 2016 Donald Trump will become the next President and make America great again. Just like his hat says.
But can this be true? Will Donald Trump become the next President and restore America? Well, I guess anything is possible, but in order for this to become reality, Donald Trump would need to act on his claims of having faith in God and behave accordingly.
Personally, I have nothing against Mr. Trump. I like him as a person. I wish him well. But based on what I know of human nature, election fraud, insider placement of candidates, etc., I have my doubts about him being another Ronald Reagan. Why? Because it is not 1980. And America has become an embarrassment to herself and the world. Today, in America, it is much darker than it was in 1980. The church is different. People are different. Society is different. The world is different.
And judgment is underway in the land.
Folks, if Trump is destined to be another Reagan, America will need to experience a spiritual change of heart. Which means many Americans would need to encounter restoration with God. Again, can this happen? Yes.
Will it happen? Uh, I would love to see it, but…well…just take a look around. America is in a spiritual mess, with a lack of spiritual hunger.
I know that these words sound negative, but this is a true assessment. And a bad assessment does not go away at the voting booth, or wishful thinking. Is there anything positive in this report? Yes.
I believe that as times grow darker, there will be a portion of remnant people who will seek to rediscover their faith and their first love. At this point in time, the number of those who are willing seems to be small. What would it take for the numbers increase?
It would take what humans never want to experience – PAIN. Pain has a way of redirecting perspective. This means that, in order for the United States to have revival, she will need to see some pain. Not just a little. It will need to be a lot.
“Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.” Hosea 6:1
Ladies and gentlemen, it needs to happen. And I believe that it is going to happen. For the sake of men’s souls it MUST happen.
Pain is coming. Because nothing else will turn the tide of America’s perdition without it.
What will the pain consist of? It will be varied. For some it will be cataclysmic. For others, it may be an inconvenience, a game changer, and for some, a life changer. It depends on the person and God’s divine sovereignty.
This article was about Russia. But it is also about America, because God may use Russia to chastise America, just like He used Babylon to chastise Israel. This is not a new concept. But it is a concept that most Americans will never understand. Until it is too late.
I have been stating for years that the pain that’s coming to America will be in four categories; famine, pestilence, the invasion of evil, and war. These things are in motion. The developments are in real time. So folks, stay grounded in God and fasten your seat belts.
And above all, seek to find spiritual revival with your relationship with Jesus. Things are brewing folks.
Let’s get our house in order.
(In part 2 – we will look at Russia’s military hardware.)
