I Prayed have prayed
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. for I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. Deuteronomy 30:15-16
Reading Time: 6 minutes

In my first semester as a freshman in college, I stared death in the face while clinging to a cliff almost 100 feet off the ground.  With no ropes, no protection, and no skill, my friend Matt and I impulsively went for an early morning climb before class.  Just think; I was free soloing long before Alex Honnold was even born.

After a radical conversion in the Christian faith during High School, my launch into the unrestrained world of campus life quickly eroded those convictions and resuscitated some familiar demons.  With my fingers one-knuckle-deep in a crack and my feet stacked on a matchbox-sized nub on a near-vertical face; I realized I was perilously stuck — both physically and spiritually.

Unable to go any higher and with no option to downclimb, I watched Matt scurry down the scree in doubtful hope he could find help.

What ensued next in that arena of isolation was an hour-long internal deliberation that spanned the gamut from emotional, to spiritual, to a full mental breakdown.  All of this with gravity straining to peel me off my perch.

One thing was abundantly clear:  I had abandoned my first love and God had me right where He wanted me.

How long will you continue to limp between two opinions?

This past Sunday’s sermon cut deep into my heart and reminded me of this exploit because the preacher spoke on the prophet Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal.  It is a magnificent portrayal of the firepower of God and the impotence of imposters.

At the time, Israel was a deeply divided nation under duplicitous King Ahab.  While he had a heritage of faith and knowledge of God, his rulings and behavior were notoriously evil.  By the time Elijah comes on the scene, the people of Israel were suffering immensely amid a three-year drought.

Elijah said to the accusing King:

I have not brought disaster upon Israel.  You and your dynasty has because you abandoned the Lord’s commandments and follow the false god, Baal.

~ Old Testament I Kings 18

Isn’t this typical?  When calamity and chaos beset a nation, people’s first instinct is to blame the same God they ignored during the prosperous seasons.  Similarly, we don’t start praying until we’re hanging from a cliff.

Listed as one of his phantom powers, Baal was believed to control the weather.  Despite generations of miraculous signs, wonders, and the favor of God, the fickle-minded people subscribed to the prophets of Baal as the source of their hope.

So Elijah set the stage on Mt. Carmel:  An incendiary showdown to once and for all determine the false god from the real God by calling down fire from heaven to consume the sacrifice.

After gathering all the people, including the 450 prophets of Baal, Elijah declared to the assembly:

How long will you continue to limp between two opinions?  If the Lord is the true God, then follow him.  But if Baal is, then follow him.

~ Elijah to the people of Israel, I Kings 18

It’s the same question God asked me on that cliff.  It’s the same question He’s asking our nation today.  It’s the same question He might be asking you right now.

There has always been a varied proportion of partisan divide separating our citizenry into political factions.  But today’s brand of division is so ruinous, I am watching marriages, families, lifelong friends, and even churches become mangled and severed.

I am disquieted that these seismic slips tearing beneath our shared humanity are not merely rooted in disagreement.  Rather, they are being caused by insidious lies, devilish deception, and coordinated treachery being perpetrated across the country by today’s prophets of Baal.  These false prophets could not have gained such unabated credence unless God was first removed as our cultural centerpiece.

Surely, you say, there are no such prophets of Baal in today’s civilized, Western, post-Christian America?

May I Present to You:  The Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Leaders.

Unlike Las Vegas, what happens in Davos happens across the globe.  Founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab, the WEF is the premier forum for government leaders, global corporatists, and international oligarchs.

The WEF’s documents describe its mission as:

Shaping global, regional, and industrial agendas through economic, societal, geopolitical, environmental, and technological reset, including, in particular, advancing global governance, accelerating digital transformation, and tackling climate change.

The most important word you just read was:  Reset.  Don’t let the surrounding snazzy verbiage dissuade you:  The WEF’s diabolical goal of world domination includes destroying Western Civilization as we know it.  Can’t you feel it happening already?

Last year, I wrote about the new Environmental Social Governance Scoring System (ESG) being quietly implemented across our financial institutions.  I also predicted you would personally know what ESG is by Spring, 2022.  I stand by that prediction.

The world threw a hissy fit when President Trump pulled out of the Paris Accords, but he knew precisely what he was doing.  The billboards for the Accords advertised Climate Change, but the fine print was all about implementing ESG across the global financial systems.

Why?  Control.  The global elites want to control finance, production, labor, and commerce across the globe and ESG is the first step in seizing control of the banking system.  Ask Nick Vujicic and Mike Lindell what it was like to wake up and learn their bank had closed all of their accounts, canceled their cards, and revoked their credit.

Did they break a law?  No, it was far worse.  They violated ESG policies by donating money to a pro-life group and conducting research about an election.  Behold the drops of rain before the downpour.

You might agree that they deserved to be shut down, but ask yourself:  What happens when you inevitably violate one of these unpublished policies?

The WEF took full advantage of SARS-Cov-2 and accelerated their mission faster than imaginable.  It is estimated that nearly 35% of small businesses were closed by the lockdowns and will never come back.  Yet, corporate behemoths like Amazon, Home Depot, WalMart, and others were able to leverage the pandemic and grow to record size.

Can you cite a time in world history when a massive consolidation of power and wealth through subjugation ended well?

By 2030, the WEF projects there will be no more personal property.  They don’t want you to own a car or a home.  The food supply will be controlled by the government and only the elite will be able to afford meat (which might explain why the vast majority of U.S. farmland and ranches are now owned by either Bill Gates or China.)

Our money will be replaced with a digital currency that will be exchanged at a rate commensurate with your ESG score.  Individual banks will be eliminated and all financial transactions will be conducted solely through the Federal Reserve Bank.  (You heard these radical ideas spouted by Biden’s failed nominee for Banking Regulator, Saule Omarova.)

Klaus also established a Global Leaders program to indoctrinate and promote hand-selected priests for his kingdom of darkness.  Perhaps you will recognize the names of some of Klaus’s anti-freedom alum:

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, George Stephanopoulos, Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsome, Tony Blair, Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel, several Rothschilds, and even a Soros.

This is only an appetizer for what the WEF wants to do.  They insist it’s for our own good and the good of the planet.  They promise the ever-elusive utopia is finally within reach, but let’s be very clear; these are not the Founding Fathers.  This unelected, all-powerful, slithering oligarchy has no reference to biblical faith or fear of the Lord.

If the twentieth century taught us anything:  Utopia without God is hell.

Don’t Let Go

After a torturous hour and no sign of Matt, my fingers were begging to slide out of that crack.  I let go with one hand and one foot and leaned out from the wall trying to determine where my soon-to-be broken body would land,

Suddenly, my attention was hijacked by two girls walking through the woods far beneath me.  I quickly grabbed back on and yelled;  Hello!  Up here!  I’m stuck, can you go find help?

They simply waved back.

At that exact moment, I heard the sound of a motor and wheels rolling up the mountain path.  Next, a bullhorn.  If you can hear me, help is on the way.  We have a rescue team, just hold on.

Had those two angels not appeared to me in the woods, I would have been half-dead at the base of the cliff listening to my rescuers — five seconds too late.

Choose This Day!  

After I shared this story at an event many years ago, a gentleman asked me, “Do you know the name of the mountain you were rescued on?” I said, “No.” He charged me to find out, and I did.

It is named, Mt. Carmel.

The 450 prophets of Baal failed to deliver and were exposed as powerless frauds in front of the entire nation.  Elijah called down the consuming fire of God as a sign to the people and released a deluge to end the drought.  Who we pledge our allegiance to matters — it’s a matter of life and death.

This day I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the Lord is your life

~ God.  Book of Deuteronomy, Ch. 30

May we no longer follow the crowd but follow the Lord.  May we be brave enough to break our well-worn patterns of thinking and discern the false prophets of today.  May we stop limping between different opinions:  If the Lord is the true God, then follow Him.  But if Baal is, then follow him. And may we be strong enough to not let go of what we know is true, no matter how hard it gets.

Hi Keith, in your How Long Will We Limp? A Report on the World Economic Forum article you said “The food supply will be controlled by the government and only the elite will be able to afford meat (which might explain why the vast majority of US farmland and ranches are now owned by either Bill Gates or China.” Oh really, the VAST MAJORITY? The VAST MAJORITY would certainly be more than 50%.
One percent of farmland in USA is 8,970,000 acres. China and Bill Gates combined own 434,000 acres—WHICH IS LESS THAN 5% OF EVEN ONE PERCENT OF ALL THE FARMLAND IN USA! This is an infinitesimal amount…like if someone had less than 1/20th of a penny out of a dollar.
Maybe you subscribe to Hitler’s philosophy. Hitler wrote that “the great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.”
Take a look at these facts easily found on Google.:
How many acres of farmland and ranches are in the US?
In the most recent survey, there were 2.02 million U.S. farms in 2020, down from 2.20 million in 2007. With 897 million acres of land in farms in 2020, the average farm size was 444 acres, only slightly greater than the 440 acres recorded in the early 1970s.Feb 4, 2022

How many acres of farmland and ranches does bill gates own?
Today, Bill Gates owns 242,000 acres of farmland in 19 states. In addition, he owns 25,750 acres of transitional land and 1,234 acres of recreational land for total land holdings of 268,984 acres. His largest holding is in Louisiana (69,071 acres), followed by Arkansas (47,927 acres) and Arizona (25,750 acres).Aug 27, 2021
Therefore Bill owns .00026 percent of the land.

How much farmland does China own?
about 192,000 agricultural acres
By the start of 2020, Chinese owners controlled about 192,000 agricultural acres in the U.S., worth $1.9 billion, including land used for farming, ranching and forestry, according to the Agriculture Department.”Aug 2, 2021

Therefore China owns .00021 percent of the land

I could site other erroneous examples in your document but I won’t. Your zeal makes you distort facts and your opinions warp the truth. When you make such ludicrous statements as the one dealing with farmland ownership in USA you not only make a fool of yourself, but you perpetuate untruth. You should have someone fact check your claims before you make them public. You own the world a huge apology.

I’m glad God kept you around to continue this important work of telling the believers of what’s going on behind closed doors. Makes it a lot easier to see through the plandemics and all the mind control. Keep up the good work and fight the good fight 👍

I have been reading Elijah and the prophets of Baal. This is the Lord’s doing. I confirmed that our country is filled with Baal prophets, Baal Christians who are between two opinions. They are neither for God or for the people of God.
I have been praying that the Hod of Elijah will consume these evil people. I strongly believe that if true Christian pray without compromise and without taking side, God will hear from heaven and deliver us. Am still studying 1 kings and 2 Kings. It so surprise that the so called pastors, prophets, bishops, deacons, elders, and Mergar churches have refused to teach their members how to choose a good leader. They have deliberately closed their hearts, minds and spirit. From the true word of God. Kings, prime minister, president or however you call them original comes from the Bible. If a God honoring king rule the country, the people prosper. If a wicked king or president rule a country, the people suffered.
Our God will listen to us even as he did Elijah. But we must choose who’s side we belong.

I have been following these articles and we had better take them seriously in our daily warfare!! This is actually happening. Don’t take this lightly. Is this preemptive to th end times?? Perhaps, or it’s another diabolical strategy just like in Deuteronomy.. Even though our God will win we must remember that Ahab and Jezabel never repented even in th face of Gods mighty power! I hope our leaders could take a lesson from this….

Thank you for an outstanding message of Hope.
Its far to easy to be intimated by news of those like Bill Gates buying up our land when you know there is a hidden agenda. However, the fear passed swiftly as the Father reminded me of the king who said, “look at me. Look at all I’ve accomplished by my own strength.” So the Lord allowed him to eat grass for 7 years.
AMEN..

    That King was Nebuchadnezar (Book of Daniel). Yes, these wicked men, blinded by the god of this age, need to be reminded of what the bible says: they are but grass, here to day gone tomorrow…. They are like vapor….
    They need to be reminded of their mortality. One fatal car/plane crash wipes them out. One terminal cancer diagnosis could (I hope!) send them on their knees crying out to God. I pray for God to speak to them in dreams that would open their eyes to God and bring them to repentance.

Thank you for this article and sharing from a personal place about how Mighty our God is! When you wrote that the name of the mountain was Mt. Carmel, I cried. Praise God for His powerful provision for you in those moments! Thank you for your challenge you set before us as believers. The information about the WEF was very interesting and informative as well! May we hold fast HIS NAME!

I’m familiar with the Great Reset by the WEF and their plan for world control, so this article is informative for those who know little or nothing of this. I am concerned about the statement that China and Bill Gates own the vast majority of our farmland. Can that be verified or is that just a rumor? I know China and Gates own some farmland here, but would they own most of the farms and ranches in my state of Mo? Please share certain evidence so that folks won’t be disillusioned if that is proven false.

Fellow Intercessors,
I have been reading about the World Economic Forum for several years now. This article is spot-on! The evil intent of the WEF is well ensconced in so many of our organizations and institutions- and we are just recently hearing more about it on a wider scale. It fits beautifully into the prophecy in Revelation about a global economy.
Another evil scheme is coming to light now through Elon Musk. You will be hearing more and more about the Metaverse and seeing more robotic human representations (Sophia, to name one) presented in advertisements. I saw one yesterday that had a robotic female as the main character. Musk is a big advocate for transhumanism and neural chip implants into a human brain to enhance human performance and ultimately to live forever. He has stated he will begin trials with this technology this year. This is so diabolical it is difficult to believe at times that we are staring this squarely in the face.
Joe Allen has written some incredible information articles about this movement:
https://thepalmierireport.com/joe-allen-transhumanism-is-the-issue-of-our-age
https://joebot.substack.com/p/the-transhuman-roots-of-the-metaverse
This is godless and it is being introduced slowly and attractively so that it will be normalized and be seductive to our technology addicted society.
We as believers, intercessors, need to be alert and aware of the schemes of our enemy, Satan the Deceiver.
Pray without ceasing! Pray with the confidence and faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ, who is more than able to work in every circumstance to accomplish His purposes for those who believe in Him as Savior.
Lord, I pray that You will continue to work in our hearts and minds to keep us focused on You.
Help us truly repent individually and as a nation.
In Your holy name, Amen

As I was eating breakfast, the Lord spoke.

The Great Reset..? NO!
It is the Great Wakeup and the Great Breakup!

The global “elites” time of mercy is quickly closing!

Yes and Amen! I resonated with every word of this article. Life is full of choices, and the most important one is – who will I serve? That choice determines every other choice I will make in my life – whether I am following and serving my Creator, the Living God of the universe or someone or something else. That choice makes all the difference. I am concerned about this “global economy” also, and the tyranny and loss of freedom it will bring with it. We are like the frog in the pot, why aren’t we paying attention now? When the water boils, it will be too late, we won’t be able to jump out. God is our only hope. Our nation was founded on belief in Him, He is our sure foundation and our refuge. There is no other. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

This article shocked me to the core!

I had not been following the news closely as per the Lord’s instruction. I do, however, follow IFA (and appreciate you).

I work for a prestigious private university and am one of very few Christian conservatives employed there.

During a meeting last week, “ESG Week” was rolled out as a school-sponsored initiative. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. Then, I read this article.

It would seem that the WEF’s tentacles run throughout many if not most of our organizations. The WEF has already subsumed much of our government, corporations, education (well much of the seven mountains).

People, I urge you with all fervor to take this directly to your pastors, fellow intercessors, and tell everyone who will listen. Let’s not be destroyed by a lack of knowledge.

Prepare yourself for battle saints! The gloves are off! Father YOUR kingdom come, YOUR will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
