In Relent or Resist, Pastor Marcos Marrero addresses the vital question of how Christians should respond to adversity: should they endure it as a test from God or resist it as an attack from the enemy? Using Romans 9:19 and other Scriptures, he explains that resisting the Holy Spirit results in opposing God’s will, while discernment comes from a circumcised heart and ear—removing carnality and listening to God’s Word rather than focusing solely on the pain of trials. He highlights the generational struggle of resisting God, tracing it back to Adam and Eve’s fall, and contrasts that with the redemptive work of Christ, the Tree of Life, who restores access to God’s promises. Pastor Marcos teaches that true spiritual circumcision occurs when believers are fully persuaded they belong to Christ, holding fast to His promises even when discernment falters. Through biblical examples and practical application, the teaching stresses that trials and deliverance often work hand in hand. Adversities may arise from the corruption of fleshly choices or from persecution due to living faithfully in Christ. The key is honest self-examination: are hardships the result of losing spiritual “saltiness,” or are they a sign of faithful witness against a corrupt world? Ultimately, Pastor Marcos reminds believers that when their hearts are surrendered and their ears attuned to the Spirit, they will know whether to resist with the sword of the Spirit or relent and endure with steadfast faith. In both paths, God’s promises remain sure, and His purposes will be fulfilled in the lives of His children.

In Resisting the Holy Spirit, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the sobering warning of Acts 7:51, where Stephen rebuked Israel for being stiff-necked and continually opposing the Spirit of God. From the fall of Adam and Eve to the present day, humanity has inherited a natural inclination toward sin, rebellion, and resistance to God’s Spirit. Yet through Christ’s resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit, believers are called into a new creation where life and abundance are freely available. Pastor Marcos highlights that the fleshly tendency to resist the Spirit often disguises itself in religious legalism. The Pharisees of Jesus’ day resisted Him because they valued their man-made laws and traditions above the Spirit’s revelation. Instead of celebrating healings and miracles, they condemned Jesus for breaking Sabbath rules. This same spirit of legalism continues today, where religious structures resist true spiritual revelation because it threatens their control. The teaching emphasizes that Scripture must interpret Scripture, and the Spirit is the one who brings life and understanding. Jesus Himself declared that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath—showing that God’s law was always meant to bless people, not bind them. When leaders compromise truth for power or acceptance by the world, they lead others into darkness. The only safeguard is to remain humble, Spirit-led, and uncompromising in faith. Pastor Marcos concludes with a call to vigilance and reliance on the Holy Spirit as our guide into all truth. In a world unraveling morally and spiritually, the church must cling to Jesus, the Light of the world, and refuse to compromise with darkness. Above all, he warns: do not resist the Holy Spirit, for He is the One who prepares us for Christ’s soon return and empowers us to walk in life, light, and victory.

In Soul Identity: The Real You, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Psalm 139 as a profound revelation of God’s intricate workmanship in creating the human soul. He explains how each soul is uniquely woven together by God with strands of personality, will, and emotion—forming a divine identity that reflects God’s glory. Yet, just as a knitted garment can unravel when snagged, so too can the soul become fragmented by the lies of Satan, which tear at its integrity and distort its original design. Pastor Marcos highlights the contrast between lies that break and bruise the soul and the Truth of God’s Word that heals and restores. Drawing from David’s psalms, Job’s struggles, and the New Testament teachings of Jesus, he shows how words—whether truthful or deceitful—carry the power to shape or shatter a soul’s reality. He reminds us that our real identity is not what the world says we are, but who God says we are. The lesson emphasizes that the enemy’s earliest and most destructive lie is that life has no value or purpose. But God, as the Everlasting Father, affirms every believer’s worth and destiny. Pastor Marcos explains that through Christ’s sacrifice—His stripes for our outward sins and His bruises for our inward wounds—our fragmented souls can be made whole again. Finally, the message calls believers to renounce every lie they have believed, replace it with the liberating truth of God’s Word, and embrace their eternal identity as God’s children. To know the “real you” is to know that your soul originated from God, is sustained by His Spirit, and is destined for everlasting life in Him.

In Spiritual Counsel, Pastor Marcos unpacks Jesus’ threefold counsel to the lukewarm church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:18—buying gold refined in fire, wearing white garments, and anointing eyes with salve. He explains that this spiritual counsel highlights salvation tested by trials, garments of righteousness refined through faith, and spiritual vision restored by God’s truth. The teaching underscores that true counsel originates from God, whose purposes never change (Hebrews 6:17). While the Laodiceans claimed self-sufficiency, they were spiritually poor, blind, and naked, needing God’s refining fire. Pastor Marcos shows that refusing God’s counsel leads to consequences such as tribulation, while embracing it brings restoration, purity, and clarity. Furthermore, the lesson connects Jesus’ counsel with the principle of ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7). Believers who ask receive God’s wisdom, those who seek justice find it, and those who open their hearts to Him experience deliverance. Pastor Marcos stresses that God’s counsel is not only for personal growth but also equips His people to guide and intercede for others, as Moses did for Israel. The threefold foundation of God’s counsel—salvation refined like gold, justice sought and revealed, and deliverance through an open heart—is presented as essential to walking in His will. Ultimately, the message calls believers to reject self-reliance, open the door of their hearts to God’s Spirit, and embrace His counsel fully, both for themselves and as examples to others.

In Spiritual Darkness, Pastor Marcos explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:23, showing how the condition of one’s spiritual eyes determines whether the body is filled with light or darkness. He explains that spiritual darkness is not merely the absence of light, but a counterfeit light rooted in deception and pride. The three major spirits at work—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—operate together to blind hearts and ensnare souls. The lust of the flesh represents inward selfish desires, while the lust of the eyes operates externally, enticing the flesh to open the door to sin. The pride of life, the deadliest of all, locks people in darkness by keeping them from admitting wrong and humbling themselves before God. Pastor Marcos illustrates how spiritual blindness manifests in addictions, compromises, and religious pride, all of which alienate people from God’s truth. This message emphasizes that the true battle is not over fleshly struggles alone but over truth versus lies. Those who walk in darkness are captives of the enemy, while those who walk in the light of God’s Word are empowered to set captives free. Believers are called to reject compromise, cleanse themselves from filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and remain steadfast in truth. The antidote to spiritual darkness is humility, repentance, and obedience to God’s Word, which brings true spiritual enlightenment and victory.

SPIRITUAL DARKNESS

In Spiritual Discernment, Pastor Marcos explains that discernment of spirits is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit given for the profit of all believers. Since spiritual warfare involves unseen enemies, discernment is essential in identifying who these spirits are and how they operate. Drawing from Matthew 12, Pastor Marcos shows how unclean spirits leave but attempt to return with stronger reinforcements, revealing the danger of a spiritually empty life. The teaching identifies the root of demonic influence: hatred toward God, which gives rise to idolatry and iniquity. This hatred manifests in seven abominable spirits described in Proverbs, including Pride, Self-righteousness, Gossip and Slander, Malice, Bitter Envy and Self-seeking, Betrayal and Dishonesty, and Perversion. Pride is emphasized as the trunk of this tree of wickedness, masking hatred and opening the door to the others. Pastor Marcos contrasts this demonic counterfeit with the fruit of the Spirit, which is love manifesting in eight forms such as joy, peace, and kindness. Just as Satan builds his infrastructure as a perverted copy of God’s order, so too does hatred mimic love through its abominations. Discernment, then, is the believer’s spiritual tool to recognize these hidden forces of hate and bring light into darkness. Ultimately, the lesson concludes that deliverance is found not in human effort but in replacing hatred with the unconditional love of God. Through Christ’s sacrifice and the power of His Spirit, believers are set free from self-hatred, pride, and perversion, and restored to their true identity in Christ. God’s love, demonstrated at the cross, ensures that nothing can separate us from Him and empowers us to walk in discernment, truth, and victory.

SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT

In Spiritual Encounters, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores two distinct ways God reveals Himself to people. The first type occurs when God sovereignly intervenes, often when an individual is not actively seeking Him. This intervention, as illustrated through the biblical account of Saul of Tarsus and Pastor Marcos’ own testimony of being rescued at sea in 1965, demonstrates God’s protective hand in preserving lives for His divine purposes. These encounters are functional in nature, ensuring that God’s plans for a person’s destiny are not thwarted by the schemes of the enemy. The second type of encounter is personal and intimate, where God responds to the heart of a believer who diligently seeks Him. Using the imagery of the Shulamite woman from the Song of Solomon, Pastor Marcos illustrates the posture of longing, perseverance, and devotion necessary for believers to enter into such a relationship. These encounters require spiritual preparation—being born again, covered in fellowship with Christ’s body, and adorned with the fruit of the Spirit. Pastor Marcos emphasizes that true intimacy with the Lord involves crossing into the spiritual realm, widening our understanding, and refusing to be hindered by temporary setbacks. Ultimately, Spiritual Encounters teaches that God’s sovereign interventions preserve our destinies, while our intentional pursuit of Him brings about profound personal transformation. The desired outcome of such encounters is not only deeper intimacy with Christ but also greater fruitfulness in both the spiritual and physical aspects of life.

In Spiritual Fruit, Pastor Marcos Marrero explains that the fruit of the Spirit—though expressed in nine qualities—is singular, revealing that all these virtues flow from the love of God implanted in the believer at the moment of spiritual rebirth. Unbelievers cannot produce such fruit because it is only born of the Spirit of God. The lesson highlights Paul’s call for believers to crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit, not merely live in it. Spiritual fruit culminates in self-control, which represents victory over selfish ambition—the root of sin and bondage. Marrero contrasts the Spirit’s leading with the natural inclination toward selfishness, worldliness, and unforgiveness, warning that clinging to idols or harboring hatred causes believers to forfeit God’s grace and mercy. Through biblical examples such as Jonah’s rebellion against God’s mercy toward Nineveh, and Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, the teaching illustrates the danger of self-centeredness and the demonic tormentors that exploit it. Instead, true deliverance and restoration flow from understanding and manifesting God’s love through forgiveness, compassion, and intercessory prayer. Ultimately, Pastor Marcos stresses that the fruit of the Spirit is both evidence of salvation and the pathway to victorious Christian living. The believer’s goal is to walk in God’s love, overcoming fear, selfish ambition, and prejudice, and living out the fullness of self-control—against which there is no law or condemnation. In surrendering bitterness and embracing love, believers find true deliverance, renewal, and enduring freedom in Christ.

In Spiritual Healing, Pastor Marcos teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:23, showing that humanity is a three-part being: spirit, soul, and body. He stresses that the spirit-man is the most vital part of a person, for when it is sick or broken, no true healing can come to the mind or body. Even believers, though born again, can experience spiritual weakness under the pressures of a corrupt world system. Through scriptural insights such as Proverbs 18:14 and John 6:63, Pastor Marcos explains that a healthy spirit-man draws strength from the truth of God’s Word and thrives despite physical trials, while a weakened spirit results from lies, fear, and disobedience. He warns that indulging in deception can cause spiritual illness, as seen in Malachi’s and Ezekiel’s warnings to Israel. Spiritual healing begins with the “clean water” of God’s Word (Ezekiel 36:25-27), which renews the heart, removes impurities, and builds up the new man created in Christ. By feeding on truth, renouncing idols, and walking in obedience, the believer’s spirit is strengthened to rejoice in tribulation, cast out fear, and glorify God. Pastor Marcos concludes that spiritual healing is the process of aligning the spirit-man with God’s truth, resulting in a strong, victorious, and renewed life in Christ.

In Spiritual Joy, Pastor Marcos explores Psalm 16:11 as the foundation for understanding the fullness of joy found in God’s presence. He explains that spiritual joy is inseparable from spiritual life—unlike worldly happiness, which is fleeting and circumstantial. Spiritual joy endures because it is anchored in the gift of eternal life, which God has declared irrevocable (Romans 11:29). Pastor Marcos highlights Peter’s sermon on Pentecost (Acts 2), where he connected the resurrection of Jesus to David’s prophecy in Psalm 16. This fulfilled promise revealed that death was conquered, eternal life secured, and joy made possible for all who believe. Spiritual joy is not just inward but manifests outwardly, producing rejoicing and thanksgiving among God’s people (Psalm 118). The lesson also underscores that God’s covenant is unchangeable: He cannot lie and will not change His mind about salvation (Hebrews 6:18; 7:21). Therefore, believers can rejoice even in trials, knowing that the Lord is always on their side, their salvation is secure, and His mercy endures forever. Pastor Marcos provides practical reasons for joy—God’s goodness, His mercy, His deliverance in times of trouble, His help against enemies, His fatherly discipline without disowning, and the promise of eternal life. Ultimately, the believer’s confidence and joy rest in God’s unchanging character and the finished work of Christ. Spiritual joy flows from a wellspring of salvation, bringing strength, peace, and praise that transcends every situation.
