Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, March 20, 2023, and this is Episode #12 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “A Warning from the Watchman”.

Did you know that God has called certain people to be watchmen? What is a watchman? A watchman is a person who stands guard and keeps watch for those he loves in order to protect them from oncoming danger and harm.

There are all kinds of watchmen. We have security guards who protect businesses at night. We have watchmen who protect students at schools, and watchmen who protect neighborhoods. And there are also watchmen for entire countries.

A father is a watchman for his family. He keeps guard against any spiritual, physical, and financial harm toward his wife and children. A pastor is a watchman for his congregation. He keeps guard against any spiritual deception and harm toward his congregants.

There are also watchmen called by God to alert the world of the impending doom predicted in Bible prophecy. These are end-time watchmen, and I am one of them.

End-time watchmen are often misunderstood, ridiculed, and mocked. But that comes with the job. 🙂 We choose to overlook those obstacles because of our love for the people for whom we watch. We see a bigger picture that, perhaps, they do not yet see, and we seek to show them that picture for their ultimate safety.

Today, I want to share with you some warnings that I see as a watchman for the United States. These warnings are not of my own creation. They are all predicted in the Bible. I can, therefore, share them with the authority of God’s Word backing me.

So, please take heed and search the Scriptures for yourself. You will discover that what I am saying is true and should be heeded.

1) The United States of America is being taken over by totalitarianism. (If you missed it, see my last post titled “The Totalitarian Tiptoe” at the link provided. The Bible predicted that shortly before the Rapture (that world-shattering even when Jesus removes His Church from the earth), there would arise a “new world order”–a global system whose purpose would be to subjugate humanity under the dictatorship of a man called the AntiChrist.

2) The rise of digital currency. We are already seeing this happening as the world economy gives up cash and moves toward a digital currency platform. Many, including myself, consider this move a great threat to our personal freedom. Digital currency will allow the federal government to monitor our every transaction and to challenge each one based on our religious belief system and our political ideology. If we think the way the government thinks, we will have special purchasing privileges. If we do not, we won’t.

3) The invasion of America by foreign troops. It is no secret that countries like China and Russia are enemies of the United States. Already, there are reports of Chinese and Russian submarines and ships secretly sailing off our coasts. And, recently, China brazenly sent spy balloons across our country while we stood by and simply watched. Many Christ-followers have had dreams that China will invade the United States. I, too, have had such a dream.

4) The Mark of the Beast. This digital currency system will eventually lead to the Mark of the Beast. The Bible says that the mark will likely be some sort of computer chip or tattoo implanted or engraved on one’s forehead or hand. It will contain that person’s medical, financial, and socio-political information. Without the mark, a person will not be permitted to buy necessities, such as food, nor will he be permitted to sell. Taking the mark is proof of allegiance to the AntiChrist who is the personification of Satan himself. Those who take the mark will be forever doomed to hell. Why? Because the mark will alter the person’a DNA, thereby making him trans-human and, therefore, no longer redeemable. Jesus Christ came to redeem humans, not trans-humans.

These are only a few of the warnings that I want to share with you as a watchman for our country in these last days. In Ezekiel 3: 3-6, the Bible says this: “When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths.”

I do not want your blood on my hands for having failed to warn you. Now the ball is in your court. What are you going to do with the warning? Are you going to ignore it, reject it, or mock it? If so, you do so at your own peril.

For you see, my friend, the warning I am giving you is not of my own making. It comes from the Word of God that is absolute and true. Check out the Bible for yourself, particularly the Books of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah in the Old Testament, and the Books of Matthew and Revelation in the New Testament. You will find that I am telling you the truth.

Read for yourself and think for yourself. Ask God to show you the truth. I guarantee that if you ask, He will.

Knowing truth begins with knowing Jesus. If you do not yet know Him, pray this simple prayer with me now:

Lord Jesus, I want to know You. I want to escape the wrath to come during the Tribulation. I repent of my sin and ask You to forgive me. I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. I receive the freedom You died to give me. Thank You for saving me. Amen.

If you have acknowledged that you are a sinner, if you have repented of sinning against the Most High God, and if you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you are now a born-again child of God. Write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com and request my free e-booklet titled After You’re Born Again. It will help you get started in your exciting life journey with Jesus.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, March 13, 2023, and this is Episode #11 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “The Totalitarian Tiptoe”.

What is the Totalitarian Tiptoe? The Totalitarian Tiptoe is a term commonly used to indicate the gradual descent or fall of a society from freedom to totalitarianism. Another term for this slow and subtle decline is gradualism.

This downward move from a free society to a totalitarian society is nothing new. Ever since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, the human condition has been atrophic in nature, meaning it has always tended toward decline. Yes, there have been periods of upward movement when great spiritual awakenings have occurred, but eventually, such awakenings are followed by another cycle of decline, by another downward spiral. Such a downward spiral has been taking place in our country for the last 50 to 100 years and is now accelerating in its pace.

The transition from freedom to totalitarianism does not occur overnight. Instead, it occurs in a two-steps-forward, one-step backward pattern. What do I mean?

I mean that for every two steps forward totalitarianism takes in infringing upon the rights of the people, it goes only one step backward when the people push back. In ceding one step back to the people, totalitarianism causes the people to feel that they have won. But, in reality, the people have won back only one of the two steps (or rights being stolen) of the totalitarian tiptoe, while all the while totalitarianism has actually moved forward one step. In other words, totalitarianism has succeeded in stealing one right. What the people don’t realize is that their victory has been only partial. In reality, the people have conceded one step of advancement to totalitarianism and lost one of their freedoms.

So what we witness is a dance of two steps forward, one step back. In this dance, the totalitarian partner never goes back the full two steps when pushed back by the people. The totalitarian partner goes back only one of the two steps, thereby gaining a step forward with each dance move. The people, thinking they have made progress, have in reality retained only one step of freedom and conceded the other.

So, there is a slow and subtle creeping forward of the totalitarian agenda as the people become increasingly satisfied with a partial win. Applying the law of diminishing returns, eventually the people will have conceded all of their freedom to a totalitarian government.

By nature, government expands in its reach for power and control. Unless stopped by the people, it will eventually take complete control. Case in point: the Vaccine, commonly called the Jab. It started out as the belief that there actually was a health hazard. As always, good people want to cooperate in solving a problem that affects their fellow man. But what these good people did not realize is that they were being set up by a totalitarian regime whose objective was to control and subdue the population.

Fear will never result in freedom. Freedom is the result of faith. When we

There is a well-known Scripture verse in Romans 10: 17 that states, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” The first half of this verse reveals a very important principle: Faith comes by hearing. In other words, whatever we hear often enough, we will eventually believe. This makes it extremely important to ascertain whether what we hear is true.

“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”

True freedom comes only through Jesus Christ. If you want to be free in every area of your life, pray this simple prayer with me now:

Lord Jesus, I want to be free. Your Word says that only You can set me free. So I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. I receive the freedom You died to give me. Thank You for saving me. Amen.

The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: “Prepare for the fire of persecution!”But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error. In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 52 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, March 6, 2023, and this is Episode #10 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “Wired for Worship”.

It has been said that man cannot live without someone or something to worship. If man does not worship the one, true, living God, man will worship another man or he will worship himself, or he will worship some thing.

Why is this so? Because God designed us this way. It has always been God’s will that we worship Him. Worshipping the one true God is the only way for us to experience life, freedom, joy, and peace. But, when we choose to worship a false god—such as another man or thing, or oneself—we will experience destruction and death.

Today men have turned away from the one true God and are worshipping false gods. Some of these false gods include the following:

__Politicians
__Movie Stars
__Music Idols
__Entertainment (such as video games)
__Planet Earth
__Health and Fitness (Yes, health and fitness)
__Money and
__Sex

In the Book of Revelation, chapter 4, the Apostle John is taken up into heaven where he sees God’s throne. The throne is the focal point of Heaven, and on that throne sits the one true God. In this chapter of Revelation, John describes everything he sees in relation to the throne.

Today we have denied the throne of God. We have replaced it with atheism, which says there is no throne, and with humanism which says there is a throne but man sits on it. Both of these worldviews deny the throne of God. Only Christianity acknowledges that God sits on the throne.

Let me ask you, my friend, who sits on the throne of your life? Is it a job, a career, money? Drugs? Sex? Alcohol? Is it a political leader, a rock star, or even a spouse? You see, even a loved one can become a god in one’s life.

When the disciples told Jesus that his mother and brothers were standing outside the house in which he was preaching and they were asking to speak with Him, what did Jesus say? He said, “’Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!’” (Matthew 12: 48-50 NLT). Here the Lord was showing us that no thing, no person, must come between us and the will of God. Anything that does is called idolatry.

So, I ask you again. Who or what sits on the throne of your life? Whom or what are you worshipping? Is it someone or something other than the one true God? If so, it’s time to repent and turn to the only true and living God. No one can love you more. No one can better provide for you. No one can give you peace the way God can. No one can bring healing to your body as only He can. No one can heal your broken, shattered heart as only God can.

You see, God is the One Who created you. He knows everything about you. Every single detail. He put you together in the first place, so when you are broken, He can fix you because He alone perfectly knows you.

And He created you because He wanted a relationship with you. He longs for a personal relationship with you so that He can bless us with every good thing. At the same time, He loved you enough to give you a free will so that you could choose whether or not we want to love Him.

Won’t you accept God’s invitation to love you? Perhaps you were deeply hurt by a human being, but God will never hurt you. He’s just not that way. He is good. Always good.

Remember, my friend, you were created to worship.We were created to worship. If we do not worship God, we will worship someone else or something else. So, why not be good to yourself? Worship the way you were wired. That way is to worship the one, true God. Only then will you experience the abundant life that He wants to give you.

If you are ready to give up worshipping idols, pray this simple prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I have been guilty of worshipping false gods other than You. I confess my sin and ask You to forgive me. I receive You now as the One and only true God, my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me and for loving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

The Paganization of America

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, February 27, 2023, and this is Episode #9 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “The Paganization of America”.

When I studied the history of Western Civilization in college back in the mid-sixties, the cultural consensus was that the West had overcome the primitive beliefs of earlier peoples who worshipped gods and goddesses, mythology, and other forms of paganism. We in America–and in the West– had now become a rational civilization, a civilization that eschewed ancient myths, ancient forms of worship, and ancient philosophies. We now had science, and science poked holes in such silliness.

If only my history professor back in those days could see what is happening in our country now! We have embraced the very culture we once termed as foolish and primitive. We have returned to those destructive lies. We are once again worshipping pagan gods in America.

In a pivotal book titled The Return of the Gods (affiliate link), Rabbi Jonathan Cahn posits that America’s return to paganism began in the sixties when prayer was removed from our public schools. This heinous act, Cahn points out, was the first step in separating our children from God and God from our children. Since then, it has been a downhill battle in our land to save our children from wickedness and destruction.

We have only to look at the staggering suicide rate among children between the ages of nine and fifteen. We must ask ourselves why. The answer is clear. Without God, there is no hope.

Sadly, we have come a very long way from the America in which I grew up. Just to give you an example: From 1950 until 1954, I attended Kindergarten to fourth grade at the public school in my town. My first grade teacher, Miss Ritter, had a Bible on her desk. Every morning, our class had to rise for the reading of the Word. After reading a passage from the Bible, my teacher prayed aloud. After her prayer, we saluted the flag. (Click here to read my heartwarming story about Miss Ritter, titled “Miss Ritter’s Bible”.)

If a public school teacher today did what my first-grade teacher did back in 1951, today’s teacher would be fired and, possibly, charged with breaking the law. And we wonder why our youth have gone astray?

If you’ve ever watched old television programs like Leave It to Beaver, you get a glimpse of what America was like back in the 50s. I can vouch for those TV shows. I grew up in the fifties and sixties. America back then was a wholesome place, a country where the consensus was a moral one, even among those who were not Christian. It was considered shameful to have sex before marriage. Today, we blatantly promote sex before marriage. In fact, we even encourage young people to live together without getting married.

Of course, there has always been sin, even back in the 50s and 60s. But sin was not glorified and magnified as it is today. Worse yet, we have entered an era when Satan—the father of sin—is being worshipped and glorified. Case in point: the recent Emmy Awards.

And we wonder why America has gone mad? Satan is the father of lies. When a people worships him, that people will reap the consequences of embracing the lie. And when people embrace the lie, only destruction and death result.

Today in America we are witnessing a return to devil worship. And yes, the worship of gods and goddesses is devil worship, for behind those false gods and goddesses are demonic spirits. They are the same demonic spirits that were behind the paganism of the ancient Greeks and the paganism of third-world cultures that did not embrace Christianity.

You see, spirits never die. When Satan rebelled against God, he took with him one-third of the angels of heaven. Those angels are now the demons that roam the earth, working for their master, Satan, and seeking people to devour. Don’t be one of those people!

But if you are, there is hope for you. That hope is found in Jesus Christ, the true God Who came down from heaven to save you. He gave His life so that you can be free from the lies of Satan and the demonic oppression that goes with them when you believe those lies.

If you are ready to be free, pray this simple prayer with me now:

Lord Jesus, I want to be free from the lies of Satan. I admit that I have sinned against You. I ask You to forgive me as I turn away from my sin. I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me and for loving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

The Great Awakening or the Rude Awakening?

Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, February 20, 2023, and this is Episode #8 of Series 2023. This episode is titled “The Great Awakening or the Rude Awakening?”

If you’ve been listening to the news lately, you know that there is a Great Awakening going on in the heartland of our country. It began at Asbury University in Kentucky, and it is now spreading to other Christian universities in the Midwest. People are coming from all over the United States to experience this great move of God.

A similar move of God occurred at Asbury University—then Asbury College—back in 1970, the year in which I was born again. That move of God also spread across the United States, reaching as far west as an Anglican church in the state of Washington and as far east as Pennsylvania and New Jersey where I lived.

So, what is going on?

What we are witnessing is, I believe, a final outpouring of God’s mercy before the return of His Son Jesus Christ. You see, my friend, God does not want anyone to go to hell. In 2 Peter 3: 9, His Word says this: “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

So, what we are witnessing through this Third Great Awakening is God’s response to hearts hungry for Him. Many in our land—especially our youth—have experienced hopelessness and despair at the direction in which our country has gone. Many have cried out to God for help. And God has graciously responded.

But, lest we become proud or complacent, let us be forewarned that this Great Awakening precedes the Rude Awakening when the Age of God’s Grace will cease and the Age of God’s Wrath will begin. You see, God’s mercy endures for a season, but at one point it will no longer be available. At one point, it will be too late to receive it.

Are you willing to take such a risk?

There is a verse in the Bible that most people are not aware of, but it is a verse that should put the fear of God in our hearts. The verse is found in the book of Galatians, chapter 6, verse 7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” This verse makes clear that when it comes to God, we will not get away with anything. Whatever we plant is what we will harvest. In other words, what goes around comes around.

So, do not take this Great Awakening for granted. Do not make light of it because a similar awakening may never come again. Perhaps not in your lifetime, at least.

Instead, ask yourself this question: What am I going to do with this great outpouring of God’s mercy? How am I going to respond to this Great Awakening? Will I participate in it by accepting God’s invitation to be saved? Or will I walk away and remain in my sin and rebellion?

The choice is yours, my friend. But know this: the choice you make will have eternal ramifications. If you choose to participate in the Great Awakening by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you will be saved and you will spend eternity with God in Heaven. But if you walk away from the Great Awakening and refuse to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you will surely enter the Rude Awakening when the wrath of God will be poured out upon you, and you will be eternally damned.

Romans 2: 5 says this: But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. That day of God’s wrath is just around the corner. World events clearly point to its imminence.

So, don’t suppress the truth by your wickedness. John 3: 36 says this: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”

Choose to repent, to turn away from your sin, to embrace your Savior and Lord. You can do so right now by praying this simple prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I want to be part of this Great Awakening. I admit that I have sinned against You. I ask You to forgive me as I turn away from my sin. I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me and for loving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.
