Marianne had been living life as a man for nine years when the Lord spoke to her in a dream in which she vomited out the sin that had been poisoning her. Now an active member of her church and living as the woman God created her to be, Marianne’s story is a tale of miracles and faith.

Today is Election Day in America. I pray that people will vote in such a way that the rampant sin that has been dominating our land will have a bad day. Sadly, even if those pushing the agenda to mutilate children’s bodies lose, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is still going to try to ram HR 8404, the deceptively named Respect for Marriage Act, down our throat.

Let’s make it absolutely clear to every Democrat and Republican in office—HANDS OFF OUR KIDS! VOTE NO on HR 8404! Then, please read on for Marianne’s miraculous story. —Mat

If HR 8404 passes, it will set a public policy that will treat gender as irrelevant and view anyone who claims otherwise as a bigot, subject to investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and liable to individuals claiming they’ve been harmed. There are NO religious exemptions to this dangerous bill, meaning your pastor and your church could be forced to comply or be shut down as a matter of “public policy.”

If our pulpits are silenced on issues of gender, sexuality and God’s design for our lives, people like Marianne could be trapped in a lifestyle that brings continual confusion and pain.

A spunky child, Marianne thought God had “made a mistake” when He made her a girl.

She convinced herself that her parents did not love her and that they would rather have a boy. So, at age 11, Marianne began dressing as a boy in hopes of gaining her parents’ affection.

During her teen years, Marianne switched back and forth between dressing as a boy or a girl. By the time she was 21, she had moved to a large city where no one knew her, and she took on a man’s identity. Life then would surely be easier, she told herself, as she changed her name to “Andy.”

But life did not get better with a change of name and clothing, or even the testosterone treatments that caused Marianne to grow a beard. Other girls certainly did not want to date a bearded woman posing as a man, and most of her family distanced themselves from Marianne’s “Andy” identity.

Lonely and angry, Marianne devolved into drinking, heavy drug use and gang life. “Why did You create me? Why are You making my life like this? Why was I born?” her heart defiantly yelled to God.

Her self-hatred became worse. The young woman began blaming God for everything and wondered if God was real. “But I didn’t know what was in store for me,” Marianne now says.

Back home, Marianne had two aunts who love the Lord. They began praying for their lost and confused niece. They stayed connected to Marianne, refusing to call her by her male name and pronouns, but also refusing to withhold love or abandon her. Every time Marianne came home to their small town, her aunts would take her aside and talk about Jesus. 

Marianne convinced herself that God “understood” her situation and would allow her to keep living an LGBTQ lifestyle as a “trans man.” 

But what came next in Marianne’s life was miraculous ...

“One night as I was asleep, I had this weird dream, and it was all words from the Bible. There was this particular scripture that came to me, Revelation 2:5 ‘Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and REPENT and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou REPENT.’”

Marianne shot out of bed. It was 5 a.m. She tried to go back to sleep, but the Holy Spirit would not let her. The next day, she drove back to her small hometown and attended church. And don’t you know, the pastor preached on that scripture from the book of Revelation!

In shock, Marianne told her aunts about the dream she had that same morning. They shared 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

That evening, Marianne got down on her knees and confessed her many sins, including rejecting God’s design for her body and sexuality. Exhausted, she fell asleep, only to dream again.

In this dream, Marianne vomited repeatedly. She awoke, crying for Jesus, and one of her faithful aunts was there to pray with her again. “God and the Holy Spirit was [sic] working in me cleansing out all my sins because I obeyed His Word,” she says.

Her aunts stayed up with Marianne all night, engaging in earnest spiritual warfare with intense prayers until the morning came.

And the miracle began ...

Marianne stopped taking drugs, including the testosterone that had been brutalizing her female body. The day she shaved her beard, her father—who she thought wanted her to be a boy—was so happy he cried. His daughter was his daughter once more!

But radicals in Congress, ever bending to the relentless pressure from the LGBTQ crowd, don’t want people like Marianne to be free. The so-called Respect for Marriage Act is now poised for a vote in the Senate.

The same-sex marriage bill will establish a public policy that goes far beyond marriage. It will destroy the concept of gender. It will harm people, especially our youth.

The Senate will vote by November 17. The vote is very close—too close. It could pass if we remain silent. That would be a tragedy.

Fax Congress NOW. Demand that they VOTE NO on HR 8404 before this twisted agenda can hurt more children.
