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, June 20, 2022, and this is Episode #25 of Series 2022. This episode is titled “Are We Being Gaslighted?”

_________________________________________

What is gaslighting? And what does it mean to gaslight people? It means to manipulate them by psychological means into doubting their own sanity. 

Gaslighting is a malicious attempt to control people psychologically by giving them false information to make them think that what they believe is nonsense and that they are crazy for believing it. Gaslighting tries to get its victims to doubt what they know and believe is true about God, about the Bible, about others, and about themselves. Gaslighting attempts to thrust its victims into a confused state of doubting their perception, their memory, and even their mental health. Gaslighting even tries to make them think that they are going insane.

Gaslighting attacks a person at his very core, causing him to doubt his identity, his worth, his common sense, and his good judgment. If the gaslighting continues indefinitely, the victim will fall ever more deeply into the lie and become inescapably entrenched in it.

Gaslighting is another name for mind control or brainwashing. And this technique is being used by globalist leaders and politicians both in the United States and around the world. Sad to say, most people are oblivious to what is being done to them. 

Gaslighting presents and pushes false narratives as truth. And whoever does not accept these false narratives is criticized, ridiculed, and even ostracized as being an enemy. 

So, how, specifically, are we being gaslighted and by whom?

One of the chief–if not the chief–proponents of gaslighting is the World Economic Forum. This organization has been creating false narratives and presenting them as truth. 

Here are some examples of false narratives being promulgated as true by the gaslighters of the World Economic Forum, headed up by Klaus Schwab, and by other globalist leaders:

1–The false narrative of clean energy, such as solar power and wind power. While the sun and the wind are, indeed, sources of power, they are not reliable sources of power nor are they clean sources of power. We cannot tell the sun when to shine, nor can we make the wind blow at will.

As Lucas Toh writes in an article titled “Let’s Come Clean” and dated October 26, 2021, “Environmentalists have been telling us that wind and solar mean cheaper, cleaner energy. They herald a future of electric vehicles quietly zipping around on electricity that created thousands of green jobs. If all of this is true, why are we suffering from a global energy crisis just months after adding record amounts of new renewable capacity?” 
(https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2021/10/26/lets-come-clean-the-renewable-energy-transition-will-be-expensive/)

2–The false narrative that fossil fuels are destroying the planet with carbon emissions. That we need to get rid of gasoline-powered cars and, instead, drive electric cars that use lithium batteries which, truth be told, not only do not provide clean energy, but also destroy the environment in the process of obtaining the lithium to make the batteries.

The truth is that it is unethical to drive a lithium-powered car because entire mountains have to be destroyed to obtain a lithium supply. Check out a recent article by Ronald Stein titled “Is It Ethical to Purchase Lithium Battery-Powered EV” at the following link included in the print version of this post:
https://www.cfact.org/2022/06/07/is-it-ethical-to-purchase-a-lithium-battery-powered-ev/

3–The false narrative that only government can solve the gaslighters’ deliberately and intentionally-created global crises. And, not only government, but global government. In other words, individual nations cannot solve their own problems. They must all band together to solve the world’s global problems. This does away with individual national sovereignty, protective borders, and national laws, making all three subject to global control. 

4-The false narrative that digital currency–which will soon be in effect–is good for us because it is “inclusive” and will allow more people to participate in the economy–an economy in which, the globalists say, “we will own nothing and be happy”. What the World Economic Forum does not tell us, however, is that digital currency is the economic system by which the AntiChrist will soon control the world.

5-The false narrative that “upgrading” humans through Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is beneficial to the human race. After all, the human being that God created is not good enough. Talk about hubris! 

6-The false narrative that a man can give birth and that there are multiple genders. The fact that many now believe this absurd lie is proof that gaslighting is working in our midst. 

7-The false narrative that the state can do a better job of raising children than the child’s parents.That “it takes a village” to raise a child. No! It takes belief and trust in God and His Word to raise a child.

Notice that these false narratives eliminate nationalism, the bedrock of a nation’s individual identity. They cause conformity, rather than individuality, to reign supreme.  Since we Christians are the ones who most oppose the globalist agenda, we are now being called “White Christian Nationalists”, equivalent to terrorists in the globalist mind, because we are faithful to God and to His Holy Word.

According to the Bible, God created the nations separate and distinct from one another. Although not the Christian’s highest priority–which, of course, is God Himself and His Kingdom–nationalism was God’s intent, as expressed in Isaiah 14: 1: “For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land.”  Israel had its own land, just as each of us has his own land. The concept of nationalism and the concept of private ownership of property are God’s ideas. In the Book of Revelation, chapter 8, verse 9, we learn that the concept of nations is an eternal one: “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”

Those who perpetrate gaslighting by pushing for the extermination of nationalism seek global power and control. If allowed to continue with their gaslighting over time, they will totally brainwash people to the point that people will totally believe their false narratives and their lies.  

And that, tragically, is exactly what is happening not only here in America but also throughout the world. 

Furthermore, the globalists tell us that if we are not on board with their false narratives, there is something wrong with us.

So, what can we do to combat gaslighting?

1. We must return to God and to His Word. His Word is Truth. Only when we know the Truth and apply it to our lives will we be free (John 8:32). The converse is that if we don’t know the truth and apply it to our lives, we will not be free.

2. We must push back against the lie. What the gaslighters need is pushback from those of us who know and stand up for Truth. Pushback works. The World Economic Forum removed from its Twitter feed the lie that “You will own nothing and be happy.” People did not like that statement and said so. 

So, the World Economic Forum took note and took a step backward. But, don’t be fooled. They will now begin to deny that they ever made that comment in the first place. More gaslighting!

3. We must pray for the gaslighters, that they may come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The gaslighters themselves are being deceived by Satan and they are unwittingly advancing his end-time agenda. 

The ultimate goal of gaslighting is to control and to enslave humanity. They are well on their way to doing just that. The Bible prophesied that they would temporarily succeed during the seven-year period known as the Tribulation. 

Bottom line, there is only one way to combat gaslighting and that is to be sure that we know and hold on to Truth. The Bible says that Jesus Christ is Truth (John 14: 6). Not only is He Truth, He is also the only Way to be saved, and the One Who alone can give us eternal life.

When you know Jesus, you know Truth. And when you know Truth, you will be able to detect the false narratives of those who would seek to rob us of our freedom by any means, including gaslighting.

Make no mistake. The ultimate goal of the globalists is to rob us of our freedom and dignity as creations of God to whom He has given the privilege of choice.

What is your choice today? The first choice I urge you to make is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Please pray this simple prayer after me:

Lord Jesus, I desire to know Truth so that I will not be gaslighted, so that I will not be deceived. You alone are Truth. I repent of my sin, of believing the lie, and I ask You to forgive me. I receive You as my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, welcome to God’s family! Please write down today’s date. It is your spiritual birthday. And please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet, titled After You’re Born Again. This booklet will help you to get started in your walk with Jesus.

I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.

Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to a true Remnant Church where you can learn Truth and experience fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.

___________________________________________________________________________

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, June 13, 2022, and this is Episode #24 of Series 2022. This episode is titled “Social Gospel or Salvation Gospel?”

Are you wondering what has happened to the Church? It seems to have gone crazy, like the rest of the world. 

But, let me assure you, the true Church of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is alive and strong. It still adheres to the true Gospel. It still proclaims the true Gospel. It is called the Remnant Church.

And it will never go away! As Scripture promises in Matthew 16: 18, “The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”

At the moment, you may not be able to see much of the true Church, but I assure you, it is active and moving and powerful and strong!

So, what’s going on? Isn’t what the world knows as the “Christian Church” the true Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

Tragically, no. What the world sees as the Christian Church is, in reality, the Apostate Church. I call it the “Church of the Great Falling Away,” described as follows in the Book of Second Thessalonians, chapter 2, verses 1 through 3:

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had
come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition . . . .”

This extensive “falling away ” is what we are witnessing now in the so-called Christian Church–the Apostate Church. I am specifically referring to the following teachings that the Apostate Church is promoting:

1__Abortion is a woman’s right and is okay. In fact, some apostate churches are even calling abortion “sacred.” Talk about perverse thinking! These so-called “justice-oriented people of faith” are calling murder sacred. 

One such organization is the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity (or SACRed). This organization promotes abortion as sacred to human dignity. No mention of or thought given to the sacred dignity of the child in the womb. The innocent victim of murder. Such deceptive thinking is what the Bible means when it says that in the last days, people will call evil good and good evil. 

2__Homosexual marriage. Apostate churches are sanctioning and blessing marriages between two people of the same gender. This is an abomination in God’s sight and clear defiance of His Word. Listen to what God Himself says about it in Leviticus 18: 22 NCV:  “You must not have sexual relations with a man as you would a woman. That is a hateful sin.” 

In 1 Corinthians 6: 9, the Bible warns that those who practice homosexuality will not enter Heaven but will go to Hell: “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,”

These are sobering words, but the Apostate Church takes them lightly, interpreting them to suit their own evil desires and agendas.

3- Social Justice. The concept of social justice has been grossly distorted by the Apostate Church. The term “social justice” as used by the Apostate Church presents an erroneous view of the God of the Bible. Yes, God is Love, but God is also Justice. We cannot consider one side of God without the other, or we will have a wrong understanding of the nature of God.

In promoting social justice, the Apostate Church misinterprets God’s love–as expressed through His grace–to mean God’s acceptance of sin. But this is a lie straight from the pit of Hell. God loves all people, but He never condones sin. For God to condone sin would be contrary to His nature, which is pure and holy and good. 

No sin can stand in the Presence of God. This is the reason we need our Savior Jesus Christ. He alone can cleanse us from sin and make us worthy to stand in the Father’s Presence. 

God’s grace is the expression of His love. God’s wrath is the expression of His justice. Both are facets of God’s nature. The Apostate Church emphasizes the love of God as expressed through His grace and disregards the justice of God as expressed through His wrath. What the Apostate Church fails to recognize is that, if we do not repent of our sin and turn away from. it, we will experience the wrath or judgment of God. Only if we repent of our sin will we experience His grace.

So, why has the Apostate Church become the so-called public standard for Christianity? Here are a few reasons:

!) Pastors have not preached the full counsel of God, meaning that they have not preached the entire Bible, and they have misinterpreted it. Instead, pastors have preached feeling over truth, relativism over absolute truth.

2) People have not taken responsibility for working out their own salvation by studying the Bible for themselves.

3) God has been removed from our educational system, to the point that even our seminaries are teaching lies. Seminary graduates are then assuming pastorates and promulgating those same lies to unwitting congregations.

4) People are being willingly sucked into a culture that is self-centered and rebellious. They are choosing the flesh over the spirit. They have chosen self over God. They have rebelled against God and His Word and have chosen to go their own way and do their own thing.

The Bible says that when people willfully and deliberately rebel against God and continue in their sin, He will turn them over to a “reprobate mind.” A reprobate mind is a depraved mind, a mind that can no longer think logically. It is a mind that embraces deception and calls it truth. It is the kind of delusional mind with which most people are trying to reason today. 

So, what can we do? If you, like me, are a true follower of Jesus Christ–a member of the Remnant Church–we must do the following:

1. Preach the true Gospel wherever we go and in spite of the consequences. Most will scoff and ridicule. Some will hear, believe, and be saved. 

2. Walk in love toward all people. This means speaking the truth to them. Scripture commands us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4: 15). Truth and love go hand-in-hand. Truth without love is legalism. Love without truth is license. The Apostate Church has chosen love without truth. Therefore, the Apostate Church is giving license to sin. 

3. Saturate yourself with the Word of God in order to be preserved from deception. When you know the Truth, you will instantly recognize the Lie.

4. Stay in close fellowship with other members of the Remnant Church. We will need one another more than ever as the days grow darker before the glorious return of our Lord in the Rapture.

If there is anyone reading this who has not yet accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord, I urge you to do so now.  Repent of your sin. This means turning away from your sin. Turn to Jesus Who loves you and who died and rose from the dead for you. Welcome Him into your life now. He is the only way you can be saved, no matter what anyone else tells you. He is your only ticket to Heaven. There is no other way. So, accept Him now. Pray this prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I need You to save me. I repent of my sin, and I ask You to forgive me. I receive You as my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, welcome to God’s family! Please write down today’s date. It is your spiritual birthday. And please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet, titled After You’re Born Again. This booklet will help you to get started in your walk with Jesus.

Where Is the World Headed?

___________________________________________________________________________

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 14, 2022, and this is Episode #11 of Series 2022. This episode is titled “Where Is the World Headed?”

Wherever we turn, someone is giving an opinion of what is happening in our world. If you feel confused, you are not alone.

The purpose of my message this week is to enlighten you to the truth of what is really going on.

So, you may be asking, “How do you know what’s really going on, Dr. MaryAnn? What is your source of information?”

Great question! And one that should always be asked: What is the source of one’s information?

As an experienced scholar trained in in-depth, primary-source research techniques, I can personally vouch for the critical importance of not only knowing but, more importantly, trusting one’s sources. Unless the source is accurate, we cannot be sure that the information from that source is accurate.

So, let me assure you that my source is absolutely accurate. In fact, it is the most accurate source that exists, that has ever existed, and that will ever exist. My source is God Himself, and the information I am using to support my message is from the Book God Himself wrote; namely, the Bible.

Now, before you hit the DELETE button or turn off this podcast, do yourself a big favor and get all the information, and only then draw your own conclusions.

So, how can I say that the Bible is absolutely true? Well, here are three of many reasons:

1. God cannot lie. In Numbers 23: 19, the Bible says this: “God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change his mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”  

2. God is Truth itself. In John 14: 6, the Bible records these words spoken by Jesus Christ: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.”

3. The Bible has never been wrong. All that the Bible has predicted up until our day has come to pass exactly as the Bible said it would. A few events remain to occur before the return of Christ. As I write, we are seeing those remaining events unfold before our very eyes, meaning that Christ’s return is imminent.

World events today are happening exactly as the Bible predicted thousands of years ago.

In case you’re wondering what world events I’m referring to, let me give you a few examples:

1. The Bible predicts in the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 38, that in the last days, Russia, Turkey, and Iran would form a coalition, together with some smaller countries, with the goal of invading Israel for its gas and oil reserves. Today, we see Russia,Turkey, and Iran in the process of forming that very coalition with the ultimate goal of invading Israel. 

On March 21, 2021, an article written by Seth Frantzman and titled “Iran, Russia, and Turkey Signal Growing Alliance,”  was published in The Jerusalem Post. In the article, Mr. Frantzman shows how the relationships among Russia, Turkey, and Iran have strengthened in recent months as all three countries keep their eyes on Israel: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-russia-and-turkey-signal-growing-alliance-662601

2. The Bible predicts that in the last days, lawlessness would cover the earth and that things would be as they were in the days of Noah. We can’t deny that lawlessness has increased and keeps on increasing. With the creation of the “Defund the Police” movement, for example, America has truly lost its senses.

3. The Bible also predicts that pandemics, crazy weather patterns, and food shortages, even famine, would occur in the last days. For example, in Revelation 6: 6 the Bible says this: “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay.”  Have we not already seen these things happening? We have already experienced a major pandemic. We have already experienced unusual weather patterns throughout the world. We are already seeing food prices heading in that direction of Revelation 6: 6. During the Tribulation, after Christians are removed from the earth in the Rapture, the Bible prediction about the exorbitant price of bread will find its fulfillment.

Anyone who denies the truth of the Bible has his head in the sand.

Friends, God is calling us to repent. First, because we have rebelled against Him, and second, because He doesn’t want us to go to Hell.  Those who refuse to repent will as surely go to Hell as those who repent will go to Heaven. So be one who repents and turns to Jesus Christ.

Shortly before the flood that destroyed the entire earth, the Lord warned the people of Noah’s day to repent, but they refused and were destroyed in the flood. Today, those who refuse to obey God’s commands will eventually be destroyed in the horrors of the Tribulation which is on the horizon. 

Why does the Bible warn us about these events in advance? For two reasons:

1. God loves us and wants us to know what lies ahead so that we can prepare ourselves, not only physically, but, most important, spiritually.  God doesn’t want anyone to go to Hell. He wants every person to be saved. But there is only one way to be saved, and that is through receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior.

In 2 Peter 3: 9 the Bible says this about God’s heart toward people: “The Lord isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.” 

But there’s coming a time when it will be too late. It could be too late for you today. We don’t know when we’re going to die. So don’t wait another moment to repent and to receive Jesus as your Savior. 

2. God wants us to know that He has our future under control. He has told us in advance what will happen so that we will not be surprised or afraid. Hear Christ’s words: “See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass” (Matthew 24:6). 

If you have not yet repented of your sin, do so now. Turn to Jesus Who loves you and who died and rose from the dead for you. Welcome Him into your life now. He is the only way you can be saved, no matter what anyone else tells you. He is your only ticket to Heaven. There is no other way, no matter what anyone tells you. So, accept Him now. Pray this prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I need You to save me. I repent of my sin, and I ask You to forgive me. I receive You as my Savior and my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Your Name I pray. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, welcome to God’s family! Please write down today’s date. It is your spiritual birthday. And please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet, titled After You’re Born Again. This booklet will help you to get started in your walk with Jesus.

I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.

Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.

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, October 11, 2021, and this is Episode #36 of Series 2021. This episode is titled “Don’t Despair! Prepare!”

_______________________________

Despair may be covering the earth, but it doesn’t have to cover your life. This week, I want to encourage you by saying, “Don’t despair! Prepare!”

Prepare for what? 

Prepare for the return of Jesus Christ to remove His followers from the earth!

We are living in those “perilous times” predicted by Jesus in the Bible. While it may be a very difficult time to be alive, it is also a very exciting time to be alive. We are the generation that, according to Scripture, will witness the return of the Lord.

What does this mean?

It means that the Bible is true. Jesus came to earth the first time 2000 years ago as the Savior of the world. He died on a Cross, rose from the dead, and returned to Heaven. Before He returned, He promised that He would prepare a place for His followers in Heaven and then come back for those who choose to follow Him. We find His promise in John 14: 3: “And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am.”

Jesus cannot lie because He is God. In fact, every prediction He has ever made has come true up to this point. There are still prophecies He made that have not yet come to pass, but they will come to pass just as surely as His other prophecies have come to pass.

One of those prophecies is that Jesus will come back to remove from the earth all those who believe in Him and follow Him. When will this happen? We do not know for sure, but Jesus gave us some warning signs and some clues. They are found in Matthew 24. These warning signs and clues are happening right now as I speak.

So, what does all of this mean for you?

It means that if you are not yet ready to meet Jesus, you had better get ready. Otherwise, when He removes His followers from the earth, you will be left behind.

And it won’t be a pretty situation.

You see, after Jesus removes His followers from the earth, the world will come under the tyranny of the AntiChrist. Yes, tyranny. The AntiChrist’s ascension to power will usher in what the Bible calls the Great Tribulation, a seven-year period of horrendous suffering on the earth.  At first, the AntiChrist will seem to be a wonderful, charismatic leader who will bring peace to the earth. But in the middle of his reign, he will reveal his true colors.

During the Tribulation, people will not be permitted to buy or sell unless they take a mark on their hands or their foreheads. The Bible calls this mark “the mark of the beast.” The Beast is the AntiChrist, and he will be a beast. This mark may be a computer chip of some sort or a tattoo engraved in the skin. Already, we are seeing a precursor of the mark of the beast in the current Covid vaccine. In some parts of the world, people cannot enter certain business establishments without a vaccine passport. In other words, they cannot purchase certain services–like attending concerts, sports events, or eating at certain restaurants–without a proof of vaccination.

While the vaccine is not the mark of the beast, it is programming people to receive the mark of the beast. It is getting people accustomed to complying with irrational mandates out of fear. Moreover, the vaccine mandate is limiting freedom by allowing privileges to vaccinated people that are not allowed to unvaccinated people. So it will be with the mark of the beast.

To take the mark of the beast will involve pledging allegiance to the AntiChrist to the point of worshipping him as God. Anyone who refuses to worship him will be killed, most likely by being beheaded. 

It’s not a pretty picture, is it? So how can you avoid it?

There’s only one way: by becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. As His follower, you will be removed from the earth before the Tribulation sets in. 

Now is the time to prepare for Christ’s return. How? Here are key steps you need to take:

1. Repent of your sin! Accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord. This is called being born again. Jesus said that unless a person is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

2. Study and get grounded in God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures.  God’s Word is Truth. As you nourish yourself on it, your faith will be strengthened, and you will be able to withstand the persecution that is already beginning. 

3. Stay connected to fellow Christ-followers. Jesus warned us that, as the days grow darker, we will need to assemble together more than ever in order to encourage and support one another.

4. Pray like never before. Prayer changes things. Prayer keeps us strong. Prayer keeps us dependent on God.

5. Love everyone while hating sin. Christians are called to love people but not to condone sin. Do not compromise your walk with Christ through political correctness. Love the sinner, but hate the sin. 

As we await our Lord’s glorious appearing in the sky, we are to fulfill His Great Commission, given to us in Mark 16.: 15-18:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

And, finally, Jesus said this in Luke 21: 28: “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

So, I ask you: Are you born again? Are you grounded in God’s Word? Are you in fellowship with other Christ-Followers? Are you praying as though it’s going out of style? Are you loving people while hating sin? Are you busy doing the Lord’s work? Are you looking up for His soon return?

If you are doing all of these things, you are prepared to meet the Lord in the air, as the Bible predicts in 1 Thessalonians 4: 17: ” . . . we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.”

Do you want to be with the Lord forever? If you know Him, You will be. But if you do not know Him, you won’t. Why not accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord right now? Pray this simple prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I want to be removed from this earth before the Great Tribulation. But I know that I need to be born again. So I receive You now as my Savior and my Lord. Come into my life. Thank you for forgiving me and for bringing me into Your family. Thank You for saving me. I pray this in Your Name. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, please write down today’s date. It is your spiritual birthday.  And please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet that will help you get started in your walk with Christ.

I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.

Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.

THE IRON SAINT by MaryAnn Diorio, PhD

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 50 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, August 23, 2021, and this is Episode #29 of Series 2021. This episode is titled “Are You Ready for the Return of Jesus Christ?”

_______________________________

The next major event scheduled on the Biblical calendar is the Rapture of the Church. This momentous event will mark a critical shift in the direction of the world since, as a result of the Rapture, the world will be thrust into total chaos and will be ripe for the rise of the AntiChrist.

So, what exactly is the Rapture, and why is it critically important that you be ready for it?

The Rapture of the Church is the instant in time in which Jesus Christ will appear in the sky to remove His true followers from the earth. Only His followers will see Him when He appears; the rest of the world will not. 

When Christ’s followers are suddenly removed, the world will be thrust into total chaos and confusion. Imagine this: Christian pilots will disappear while they are flying their airplanes. Christians driving cars will suddenly disappear, leaving their cars careening crazily in the midst of traffic. Christian doctors performing surgery will suddenly disappear from their operating rooms. Christian machinery operators will instantly be removed from behind their machinery. Because they have not yet reached the age of reason and accountability, all babies and little children will suddenly go missing. I think you get the picture.

After the Rapture, those left behind will find themselves in an unspeakably horrific situation and will cry out for someone to take charge and put things back in order. That someone will be the AntiChrist. 

The rise of the AntiChrist will usher in a seven-year period of unimaginable trials, tragedy, and torment known as the Tribulation. The Tribulation will be a period of worldwide dictatorship and loss of freedom under the AntiChrist. At the halfway mark of the Tribulation, the AntiChrist will demand that the entire world give him worship and allegiance by taking his mark, called the Mark of the Beast. According to Revelation 13: 16-17, this mark will be placed on the hand or the forehead. 

Just this past week, I read a chilling article about a young man in Italy who tattooed his vaccine pass onto his right arm. I’m not saying that the vaccine passport is the mark of the beast. I am saying, however, that it is heading in that direction. Folks, we are almost there! Wake up! Realize that the Bible’s predictions made thousands of years ago are coming to pass before our very eyes.

So, what does all of this mean for you?

It means that, if you want to escape hell on earth and hell in eternity, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, and you need to accept Him now. You have no time to lose.

It means that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you are in for the worst suffering of your life–a suffering that you may not survive. But, even worse than that, you are in for an eternity of unending suffering in hell.

Why? Because the Bible says that if you take the mark of the beast in order to buy and sell, you will be worshipping the AntiChrist, who is Satan personified, and pledging allegiance to him. The False Prophet, the AntiChrist’s righthand man, will require that anyone who wants to buy or sell anything must take the mark of the beast. The Bible says this about those who take that mark: “He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.” ~ Revelation 13: 16-17.

We are already getting a taste of this restrictive measure now with the vaccine passport. Some airlines are refusing to allow non-vaccinated people to fly on their planes. Some businesses are refusing to allow unvaccinated customers to enter their places of business. Some universities are making the vaccine passport a requirement for enrollment. Many healthcare and educational facilities are refusing employment to the unvaccinated. All of these instances are precursors to the mark of the beast, as the world is being programmed to accept that mark.

So, again, what does all of this mean for you?

It means that you have a critical choice to make, a choice you need to make now because one moment from now may be too late. That choice is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Why do you need to make that choice now? Because Jesus Christ could return at any moment to remove His followers from the earth. And if you are not one of His followers when He returns, you will be left behind to endure the horrors of the Great Tribulation.

If you do not yet know Jesus, I implore you to receive Him now. Pray this simple prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I need You. I need You in my life to save me. So I now invite You into my life, and I receive You as my personal Savior and the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for giving me eternal life. I pray this in Your Name. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free PDF booklet that will help you get started in your walk with Christ. I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and to read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.

Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and who can guide you as you grow in Him.
