In The Four Waves, Pastor Marcos examines Luke 21:25 and related prophetic passages to show that the shakings in the sun, moon, stars, and earth symbolize both cosmic disturbances and powerful spiritual movements. He interprets these as waves—forces of God’s Spirit—that bring both judgment and revival.

He shares his personal experiences of four recurring dreams of massive waves, each faced in a different cardinal direction, culminating in the fourth dream where a crystal-clear wave brings renewal, cleansing, and living waters. These dreams, he explains, parallel revivals witnessed in Toronto, Pensacola, and South America, with a final outpouring yet to come from the West.

Pastor Marcos connects his revelations to a 1968 prophecy from Norway that also described four waves, each representing global shifts: a time of peace between superpowers, a wave of lukewarm Christianity, widespread immorality and violence, and finally, a climactic period tied to Christ’s return and global war.

Scriptural parallels are drawn from Revelation, Joel, and Ezekiel to show that the fourth wave will shake both heaven and earth, bringing both great fear and a final opportunity for salvation. The waves, though fearsome, ultimately point to God’s sovereign plan of judgment and redemption.

Pastor Marcos concludes that believers who embrace God’s Word and Spirit today need not fear the final wave, for it will bring life, purification, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Those who scoff, however, risk being overtaken by judgment when the Lamb returns in His glory.

In Binding and Loosing, Pastor Marcos unpacks the meaning of Jesus’ words in Matthew 18:18, revealing the divine authority given to every believer. This authority, rooted in the power of God’s Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, allows Christians to confront spiritual strongholds and release God’s purposes on earth as they are already settled in heaven.

The teaching emphasizes three essential rules:

Agreement with God’s Word – Believers must speak words aligned with Scripture, for God’s Word carries the life-giving energy to bring transformation.

The Power of Agreement with Others – When Christians join together in prayer and faith, their authority is multiplied, and Jesus is present among them.

Walking in Forgiveness – Spiritual authority cannot operate where bitterness and unforgiveness remain. Releasing others mirrors the release Christ gave us at salvation and keeps us in spiritual freedom.

Pastor Marcos also highlights how binding and loosing applies both individually and corporately. Believers can pray against spirits of unbelief that blind people from salvation and loose the conviction of the Holy Spirit upon them. Likewise, the church collectively can bind demonic influences over communities and nations.

Through practical examples and biblical foundations, the lesson shows that binding and loosing is not about controlling people but restraining demonic powers and releasing God’s will. When spoken in faith, in agreement with Scripture, and under the authority of Jesus’ name, the Word of God releases spiritual energy that transforms circumstances and establishes God’s kingdom on earth.

In Kings and Priests, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Revelation 1:6, highlighting God’s intent for His people to walk in dual authority—both physical (kingship) and spiritual (priesthood). From the beginning of creation, man was entrusted with these two realms of power, yet due to human pride and corruption, God separated them for humanity’s protection. In the Old Testament, kings ruled with physical authority while priests carried spiritual authority, symbolized by the Urim and Thummim, which provided divine guidance.

The teaching traces key biblical moments where this division was tested: Saul’s downfall for usurping the priesthood, the rebellion at Babel, and Abraham’s choice in the King’s Valley between physical riches and spiritual covenant. Each example illustrates the danger of combining authority without God’s sanction, as unchecked power often led to oppression and destruction.

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos explains that in Jesus Christ—who declared, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth”—both realms of power have been perfectly united. Unlike fallen man, Christ cannot be corrupted by absolute power. Through His cross and resurrection, He abolished the separation, granting believers access to both spiritual and physical authority under His lordship. This restored identity calls Christians to live as kings and priests, exercising authority with humility, advancing God’s kingdom, and discipling nations as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20.

The message concludes with a call to embrace this divine commission: to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, balancing the spiritual and the natural, and to use this united power to bring light, truth, and deliverance to a world increasingly corrupted by humanistic and godless systems.

In The Four Pillars of Evil, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from Galatians 5:19–23 to reveal how the works of the flesh are rooted in selfish ambition and serve as tools of the enemy to hinder spiritual growth. He explains that, while salvation makes us righteous before God, deliverance from selfish desires requires knowledge of how the Spirit of God operates in contrast to the flesh.

Pastor Marcos classifies the seventeen works of the flesh into four categories: Perversion, which twists truth and sows doubt; Division, which causes inner conflict and separation; False Religion, which binds believers to ritual and legalism instead of faith; and Malfunction, which renders believers ineffective and unfruitful for God’s purposes. Together, these pillars uphold the structure of evil that opposes the fruit of the Spirit.

Through vivid examples, such as how a lie or doubt can destabilize relationships and faith, Pastor Marcos demonstrates the destructive power of perversion and the chain reaction it sets in motion—leading to division, false religion, and ultimately spiritual malfunction. He emphasizes that Satan, the accuser of the brethren, seeks to undermine believers’ confidence in God’s love and truth.

Yet, the pathway to victory lies in embracing the truth of God’s Word, walking in the Spirit, and producing spiritual fruit, particularly self-control. By doing so, believers can dismantle the enemy’s strongholds, resist deception, and experience the freedom and joy of God’s Kingdom.

In Deliverance is for Life, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the biblical truth that God carries His children from the womb to old age, promising continual deliverance (Isaiah 46:3-4). Many Christians mistakenly view deliverance as a one-time breakthrough, yet Pastor Marcos shows that true deliverance is an ongoing process tied to salvation itself—salvation frees us from sin, while deliverance frees us from its lingering consequences.

He explains that sin has two edges: separation and consequence. Through Christ, who is both faithful to forgive and just to cleanse, believers can experience complete restoration. Forgiveness, however, does not always restore trust, and many struggle with offenses because they confuse forgiving with trusting. Pastor Marcos teaches that forgiving is an act of obedience to God’s Word, not a reliance on human flesh, and that true deliverance requires shifting focus from the offender to the spiritual strongholds influencing their behavior.

By exposing the battle between selfish ambition (self-centered idolatry) and self-control (fruit of the Spirit), he encourages believers to stop taking offenses personally and instead intercede for those bound by strongholds. Such prayers, birthed by the Spirit, align with Christ’s command to love, bless, and pray for those who hurt us (Matthew 5:44-45).

Pastor Marcos stresses the security of God’s covenant: unlike human relationships that can break under repeated offenses, Jesus swore never to leave nor forsake His children. This assurance empowers believers to forgive continually and extend grace, knowing God’s promises are unchangeable.

Ultimately, Deliverance is for Life calls Christians to reject selfish ambition, embrace self-control, and trust in God’s unwavering commitment to carry and deliver them. Every offense becomes an opportunity for double victory—freedom from personal hurt and the chance to minister deliverance to others. In this way, past wounds no longer define believers but become platforms for testimony, demonstrating that all things work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28).

Why Does Satan Want You So Much? explores the deep spiritual battle that began in the Garden of Eden. Adam, created in God’s image, enjoyed intimate fellowship with his Creator—a relationship Satan envied. As Ezekiel 28 reveals, Satan was present in Eden, watching with jealousy as God spent time with man instead of with him, a being clothed in beauty and splendor. Out of hatred for God and envy of His love toward mankind, Satan set out to prove humanity unworthy, deceiving Eve and drawing Adam into sin.

Yet, the message shows that Satan’s true motive is not love or concern for us, but hatred for God. Every time he succeeds in hurting people, he believes he is wounding God’s heart. Still, God’s plan of salvation through Jesus Christ triumphs over Satan’s schemes. By sending His Son to die and rise again, God provided eternal life for all who believe (John 3:16, Romans 10:9–10).

The teaching closes with a call to relationship: just as God walked with Adam, He desires to walk with us today. By confessing Jesus as Lord, studying His Word, and remaining in fellowship with Him, believers can stand strong against the enemy, assured that where God’s presence dwells, Satan has no place.

In The Law of Christ, Pastor Marcos Marrero examines the biblical concept of law not merely as rules and regulations, but as spiritual principles instituted by God for human understanding and transformation. Beginning with the Law of Moses, Pastor Marcos explains that its purpose was to reveal God’s holiness compared to man’s fallen condition, while also showing His mercy, patience, and compassion.

He then contrasts the Law of Sin and Death with the Law of the Spirit of Life, emphasizing that Jesus, through His death and resurrection, bridged the gap between God’s holiness and man’s carnality. By fulfilling the Law perfectly, Christ introduced freedom from condemnation and offered new life to all who believe. This naturally leads to the Law of Faith, by which believers are justified apart from works, clothed in God’s grace, and delivered from shame.

From there, Pastor Marcos highlights the Law of Liberty, which empowers Christians to boldly live and proclaim the Gospel. Ultimately, all these laws converge in the Law of Christ, summed up in Galatians 6:2: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” This law calls believers to embody Christ’s love by living selflessly, supporting one another, and walking in the freedom and faith secured by His sacrifice.

In Altar in the Midst, Pillar on the Border, Pastor Marcos explores Isaiah 19:19–25, where the prophet describes a time when Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will stand together as instruments of God’s blessing. While some view this as a reference to the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pastor Marcos emphasizes the deeper prophetic message—one that points to end-time events and personal spiritual deliverance.

The nations themselves carry symbolic meaning: Egypt represents the flesh or worldliness, Assyria signifies the soul of the nations, and Israel symbolizes the spirit—the inheritance of God. Just as Scripture foretells these nations aligning in blessing, believers are called to bring their body, soul, and spirit into harmony before God. Deliverance is pictured in the progression of Isaiah 19, where idols fall, inner wars expose demonic strongholds, and the heart is faced with a choice: cling to sin or embrace freedom in Christ.

Pastor Marcos parallels Egypt’s cry for deliverance from oppression with the believer’s own cry for freedom from spiritual bondage. Just as God promises to strike and heal Egypt, the Lord strikes the flesh with conviction and discipline so that it might be healed and reconciled to Him. The altar in the midst and the pillar on the border represent the believer’s inner consecration to God and the outward testimony of faith that stands as a witness to the world.

Ultimately, the prophecy not only points to the coming Messianic rule over all nations but also reminds the Church of its role: to bear the pillar of truth and maintain an altar of devotion in the heart. Deliverance, alignment, and blessing come when God is enthroned in every dimension of life—spirit, soul, and body—just as the nations themselves will one day be aligned in His kingdom reign.

In Do Not Grieve the Holy Spirit, Pastor Marcos unpacks Paul’s warning in Ephesians 4:30, reminding the church that ministry apart from the Spirit is ineffective. He begins by stressing the importance of believers knowing and walking in their specific calling, as failing to do so disrupts the Spirit’s flow and hinders spiritual growth. Using an illustration from his personal work experience, he highlights that God alone determines and equips each person’s role, and success comes from faithfulness to that call rather than comparison with others.

Pastor Marcos then explains the necessity of humility, patience, and unity in ministry. He warns against desiring positions outside of one’s calling for reasons of pride or prestige, as such attitudes grieve the Spirit and harm the body. Every gift and calling, he notes, is for the equipping of the saints and the edification of the one body of Christ.

The teaching then explores the functions of the fivefold ministry—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—comparing them to the five senses of the human body, which allow Christ’s body to function effectively on earth. Apostolic and prophetic ministries provide foundational truth, evangelists win souls, pastors guard and feed the flock, and teachers store and distribute the treasures of God’s Word. Each role is vital, and misalignment or neglect diminishes the church’s health.

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos reminds readers that grieving the Spirit occurs when believers ignore their God-given assignments, serve with the wrong attitudes, or fail to honor the structure God established for His church. He calls Christians to embrace their calling, walk in unity and humility, and serve faithfully under the Spirit’s anointing so that the body of Christ may grow into the fullness of Christ.

The Anointed Vow examines the relationship between vows, anointing, and the divine timing of God’s promises. Using Jacob’s vow at Bethel as a foundational text (Genesis 31:13), Pastor Marcos explains that God always remembers anointed prayers and vows, even when believers forget them. He illustrates this truth through personal testimony, showing how a prayer for understanding prophecy was answered years later, on the exact anniversary of his vision of the rapture.

The teaching outlines a clear process of divine fulfillment:

Salvation – entering into God’s grace and being qualified for His purpose.

Answering the Call – responding actively to His holy calling.

Making a Vow – consecrating one’s life in surrender to God’s will.

Following God’s Leading – obeying His direction faithfully.

Forsaking the World – walking the narrow path of tribulation and rejecting false gospels of comfort.

Pastor Marcos emphasizes that vows made in faith are sealed with God’s anointing, which acts like a spiritual watchman, continuously interceding before the Lord until the promise is fulfilled. Just as Jerusalem’s destiny has been proclaimed for millennia and is still being carried forward by God’s anointing, so too are believers’ lives carried by their anointed vows.

Ultimately, this lesson teaches that the process of salvation, calling, vow, and anointing requires endurance and time, but it assures believers that God never forgets. His anointing guarantees that His purposes will be fulfilled in the lives of those who remain faithful.

In I Will Give Peace, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Haggai’s prophecy of the latter temple and connects it to the believer’s body as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Haggai, Hebrews, and the book of Acts, he shows how God’s glory was poured out on Pentecost and how the prophecy also points to the final shaking of heaven and earth at Christ’s return.

The teaching explains that God allows the shaking of nations and the collapse of worldly systems to test what remains within His people. In these times, only those rooted in His Spirit and filled with His peace will endure. Pastor Marcos illustrates this truth by pointing to global tragedies, persecution of Christians, and the fragility of worldly security.

Believers are urged to examine their hearts: would they still glorify God if stripped of every comfort and possession? The lesson highlights that true peace is not found in material things but in the eternal presence of Christ within. By renouncing worldly attachments, embracing the fruit of the Spirit, and remaining steadfast in faith, Christians can walk in the unshakable peace that God promised—peace that surpasses understanding and will sustain them through the end of days.

In IN WHOM IS NO DECEIT, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from John 1:47, where Jesus declares Nathanael to be an Israelite without deceit. This profound statement sets the foundation for understanding the value of integrity and truth in the believer’s life. Nathanael, later known as Bartholomew, represents a transformation that occurs when one sheds falsehood and embraces the identity God bestows—his new name, meaning “Gift of God,” reflecting his new nature in Christ.

The lesson explores how deceit operates as a spiritual counterfeit, tricking believers into identifying with a false version of themselves rather than with their true identity in Christ. Pastor Marcos explains that deceit causes instability, double-mindedness, and distance from God’s purposes. Nathanael’s encounter under the fig tree symbolized a place of spiritual decision and cleansing, where he renounced generational sins and aligned himself with God’s truth. It was this submission and authenticity that positioned him to immediately recognize Jesus as the Son of God and the King of Israel.

Pastor Marcos highlights that believers, like Nathanael, must confront and renounce deceit by humbling themselves, confessing sins, and embracing deliverance through Christ. By resisting the devil, drawing near to God, and believing in the truth of God’s Word, Christians are freed from counterfeit identities and empowered to live as their authentic selves. The teaching concludes with a call to identify strongholds of deceit, reject the lies of the enemy, and embrace the reality of being the righteousness of God in Christ—living out the victory and promises that flow from a life of truth.

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.

SPIRITUAL HEALING

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.

In The Power of God, Pastor Marcos contrasts the world’s understanding of wisdom and power with God’s. While human rulers often wield authority selfishly and foolishly, God demonstrates that true power is always controlled by wisdom and guided by mercy. Jesus’ rebuke of the disciples when they wished to call down fire on their enemies illustrates that divine power is never for destruction but for salvation.

The teaching highlights that worldly wisdom is unstable and dangerous because it lacks the safeguard of meekness. In contrast, heavenly wisdom operates with humility, ensuring that God’s power is never abused. The cross is revealed as the mechanism that activates and governs God’s power within believers—what appears to the carnal mind as weakness is, in reality, the source of divine strength and deliverance.

Pastor Marcos explains that Psalm 149, when viewed through the cross, calls Christians not to wage war against people, but against spiritual rulers of darkness. The true enemy is not humanity, but the kingdom of darkness that manipulates people into conflict and destruction. Thus, the church’s mission is to liberate, not oppress, by exercising spiritual authority through prayer, the Word of God, and Christlike mercy.

The believer’s call is to let every motive pass through the cross, where selfish desires die and God resurrects only what aligns with His purpose. This inward deliverance produces maturity, which in turn empowers communal intercession and revival. As Christians live in the reality of “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27), the power of God is revealed—not as worldly domination, but as the liberating force of truth, mercy, and resurrection life that transforms communities and defeats the kingdom of darkness.

In Maturity vs. Infancy, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from 1 Corinthians 3:1–4 to illustrate the Apostle Paul’s concern that the Corinthian church remained spiritually immature—like infants unable to handle solid food. He explains that while natural children inevitably grow into adulthood, many believers remain in a state of spiritual infancy, content with “milk” rather than maturing into solid understanding of God’s Word.

The lesson emphasizes that deliverance is a key tool for maturity, for deliverance liberates the believer’s mind from childish and carnal thinking. True growth is hindered when churches operate selfishly—seeking to hold on to their converts instead of raising them up as disciples who go out to make more disciples, as Christ commanded in Matthew 28:19.

Pastor Marcos warns that immaturity in the church often manifests in envy, strife, and division, shifting the focus away from God’s mission. Churches that feed believers only “milk” and create dependence on leadership keep members spiritually stunted, rather than equipping them to serve beyond the walls of the church.

Drawing from Hebrews 5 and 6, Marrero stresses the call to leave elementary principles behind and press on toward maturity—developing discernment through practice, learning to reason with God, and embracing the security of salvation. He dismantles the fear of losing salvation, affirming that salvation is a heavenly gift, irrevocable and secured in Christ.

Finally, Pastor Marcos challenges believers to move past fear, dependence, and immaturity, and to embrace their calling as mature workers in the Lord’s field, bearing fruit, making disciples, and walking in the authority of Jesus Christ.

MATURITY VS. INFANCY

In Spiritual Order, Pastor Marcos emphasizes that many Christians suffer needlessly because they lack knowledge of how God’s spiritual order functions. Using passages such as 2 Thessalonians 3:7 and 1 Corinthians 14:40, he explains that God commands His people to walk in order, as spiritual disorder hinders His divine plan. Pastor Marcos compares the orderly flow of God’s Word to electricity moving through a circuit: it produces power only when the proper pathway is maintained.

The teaching identifies three foundational rules:

Follow the directions of God’s Word, which provides the map for fulfilling one’s purpose.

Believe in God’s divine purpose for your life, acknowledging that each believer was created intentionally for His plan.

Submit to the flow of spiritual authority, which begins with God, flows through Christ, and extends to the family and church, all rooted in the Word.

Pastor Marcos highlights that spiritual order is not merely individual but also corporate, shaping family structure and the church body. He clarifies that true headship is not about natural dominance but about reflecting Christ’s relationship with His bride, the Church. Disorder arises when people reject God’s Word, neglect their responsibilities, or misunderstand spiritual authority.

Through scriptural illustrations such as Isaiah 55:10–11 and Ephesians 3:14–15, Pastor Marcos shows that God’s Word flows like heavenly energy, empowering those who believe and obey. Spiritual order establishes believers in peace, sanctification, and strength, while disorder results in chaos and loss. Ultimately, Spiritual Order calls Christians to repentance, alignment, and perseverance, reminding them that God’s peace and purpose are secured only when life is lived according to His divine order.

SPIRITUAL ORDER

In Spiritual Realities, Pastor Marcos explores the profound difference between what appears real to the natural eye and what is truly eternal. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:18 and Hebrews 11:3, he explains that the visible world is sustained by invisible forces, affirming that God’s Word is the ultimate reality. Science itself, with its discoveries about unseen particles and energy fields, only confirms what Scripture has declared—that everything is upheld by the power of God’s Word.

The teaching highlights the existence of two realms: the physical, which is temporary and three-dimensional, and the spiritual, which is eternal and four-dimensional. Angels, as ministering spirits, operate in this unseen realm on behalf of believers, while demonic forces resist them from the kingdom of darkness. Understanding these dynamics allows Christians to walk by faith, confident that they are never alone in their spiritual battles.

Pastor Marcos emphasizes that authority has been given to believers through the name of Jesus, granting them power not only over demonic forces but also influence over creation itself, which eagerly awaits the manifestation of the children of God (Romans 8:19–21). Through testimonies of miraculous healing, he illustrates that faith anchored in God’s Word enables believers to experience spiritual realities that transcend physical limitations.

Ultimately, the message calls believers to cling to eternal truths—God’s love, Christ’s sacrifice, His resurrection, and His promised return—rather than to the fleeting illusions of the natural world. As Pastor Marcos concludes, the most real and unchanging truth is that salvation is found in Jesus Christ, who is both the force of creation and the eternal Word made flesh.

In To Suffer for His Sake, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Philippians 1:29, emphasizing that Christians are not only granted faith in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him. He distinguishes between general human suffering—often the result of poor choices or inherited conditions—and Christian suffering, which is uniquely tied to righteousness and divine purpose.

The teaching highlights that suffering for Christ refines believers, enabling them to partake in God’s divine nature as described in 2 Peter 1. This process cultivates spiritual fruit such as faith, perseverance, self-control, brotherly kindness, and love. Marrero compares this to olives being crushed to release oil, showing that suffering produces anointing and fruitfulness.

Furthermore, suffering has eternal implications. It prepares believers for their place in God’s kingdom, where positions and rewards are tied to the measure of faithfulness and endurance in trials. Drawing from passages like 2 Timothy 2:12 and Matthew 20:23, the lesson reveals that enduring suffering for Christ aligns believers with His example, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2).

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos teaches that Christian suffering is not a curse but a divine training ground. It equips the believer to walk in godliness on earth, produce eternal fruit, and reign with Christ in the life to come, fulfilling God’s perfect will.

TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE

In The Work of God, Pastor Marcos Marrero highlights John 6:29 where Jesus defines the ultimate work of God as believing in Him whom the Father sent. Pastor Marcos contrasts this truth with modern science’s attempts to diminish humanity’s significance by promoting evolution and human worthlessness, thereby detaching mankind from accountability to God.

Drawing from Psalm 8, Isaiah 48, and the story of Onesimus in Philemon, the teaching emphasizes that although humanity may seem insignificant in comparison to the vastness of creation, we are of great value to God—so valuable that Jesus gave His life to redeem us. Worthlessness is a lie of the world system, designed to control and oppress. But deliverance through Christ restores worth, peace, and righteousness, making every believer profitable in God’s kingdom.

Pastor Marcos also recounts Hannah’s bold cry, “I am not worthless!” from 1 Samuel, showing how faith transforms barren emptiness into fruitfulness. He stresses that the work of God requires personal belief in Jesus, surrendering to Him as Savior and Lord, entering a covenant of servanthood, and breaking free from generational curses.

This lesson closes with powerful covenant prayers for salvation, surrender, service, and deliverance, offering believers a way to renounce worthlessness once and for all. By faith in Christ, we are redeemed, valuable, and empowered to live with divine purpose, bringing glory to God.

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 The Four Waves, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from Luke 21:25–26, Hebrews 12:26, and other prophetic scriptures to explain the spiritual “waves” that will shake creation in the last days. He emphasizes that these waves represent both physical and spiritual forces moving across the earth, bringing about conditions that align with God’s purposes. The number four is significant, as it symbolizes completeness—affecting the sun, moon, stars, and earth, as well as humanity at every level.

Pastor Marcos shares his own series of vivid dreams spanning years, in which massive waves rose from all four cardinal directions. Each dream carried both a personal and corporate message: polluted waters symbolizing corrupted doctrine, fearful waves of judgment, and finally, a pure, crystal-clear wave of living water signifying revival and renewal. These experiences were later confirmed by a message he heard during the Brownsville Revival, where a preacher spoke of four waves of revival emerging from the north, east, south, and west.

He also connects these revelations with the striking 1968 prophecy of a Norwegian woman who foresaw four global waves before Christ’s return: a false peace, lukewarm Christianity, moral decay, and finally, the outbreak of world war alongside Christ’s appearing. Pastor Marcos compares her visions with his own dreams and biblical prophecies, showing the harmony between them and their ultimate fulfillment in God’s plan.

The lesson underscores that while the fourth wave will bring a shaking like never before, for believers it represents an outpouring of God’s Spirit and an opportunity for salvation. As Revelation and Joel affirm, those who call upon the Lord during that time will be saved. Pastor Marcos concludes that the faithful need not fear these waves, for they are both signs of judgment and channels of God’s life-giving power.

THE FOUR WAVES

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 CURSES, Pastor Marcos explores the biblical reality of curses, emphasizing that they are not just symbolic but spiritual forces with real negative effects on people’s lives. Drawing from Galatians 3:13, he highlights how Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, yet stresses the importance of appropriating that redemption in daily living.

The lesson reviews the Old Testament foundation of blessings and curses, particularly in Deuteronomy 28–30, where God set before Israel the choice of life or death, blessing or curse. From a New Testament perspective, Pastor Marcos explains that those outside of Christ remain under the curse of the law, while those in Christ are legally redeemed. However, practically, some consequences of curses persist until believers apply biblical remedies such as repentance, faith, obedience, sacraments, and prayer.

Referencing James 5 and Galatians 6, Pastor Marcos shows that healing and deliverance from curses often require confession, prayer, and living by the Spirit. He draws on Frank and Ida Mae Hammond’s teaching in The Breaking of Curses, outlining eight key principles: curses have causes, sin opens the door, curses are spiritual in nature, curses remain where sin remains, their power is demonic, the law offers no remedy, Christ redeemed us, and redemption must be appropriated.

The lesson concludes that while curses still affect the world and even some believers, freedom is available through Christ. By walking in the Spirit, bearing spiritual fruit, and crucifying the works of the flesh, believers can live beyond the reach of curses, stepping fully into God’s blessing and protection.

In The Awakening, Pastor Marcos presents a call to discern the hand of God in the progression of human history and the present spiritual climate. He begins with Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, showing how God confounds human wisdom by unveiling His plan in ways that surpass intellect and science. The twentieth century is described as a turning point—marked by war, innovation, and technological advancement—that aligns with the prophetic increase in knowledge foretold in Daniel.

Pastor Marcos connects these world events with the breaking of the seals in Revelation. The first seal loosed the spirit of antichrist, already influencing the world though not yet fully revealed. The second seal, tied to World War II, unleashed global conflict and unprecedented technological progress. The third seal, he argues, is unfolding now, bringing forth a new world order centered on economic control and paving the way for a one-world government. These events, ultimately orchestrated by God’s timing, expose humanity’s attempt to run the earth apart from Him under the deception of Satan.

The lesson emphasizes that just as the Word of God became flesh to impart divine wisdom, Satan seeks to rule through the antichrist as his human agent. Yet, Christ will ultimately defeat him with the breath of His mouth and the brightness of His coming. Pastor Marcos stresses that this understanding constitutes the true spiritual awakening: recognizing that worldly knowledge enslaves when divorced from God, while the knowledge of Christ liberates and saves.

He closes with an urgent appeal—humanity must awaken to the truth of God’s Word and trust in His wisdom, not in man’s intellectual pride or technological advances. The time is short, and the decisive battle is already underway.

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 this teaching, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the depth of 1 Thessalonians 2:13, emphasizing that the Word of God is not merely human speech but the very power of God at work in believers. He explains that the Word brings about deliverance in three stages: immediate deliverance at the moment of salvation, continuous deliverance throughout life as our souls are transformed, and ultimate deliverance at the resurrection when our bodies are made new.

Pastor Marcos details how our spirit is instantly regenerated when we are born again, never to be separated from God again. Yet, our soul remains in an ongoing battle between fleshly desires and the influence of the Spirit, requiring constant nourishment from the Word of God. This process—described as crucifying the flesh—is often painful but necessary for spiritual growth and holiness.

The teaching also warns that believers will face opposition and persecution when the Word effectively works in them, as the world resists those who refuse to conform to its system. Still, this opposition confirms God’s transforming work. Pastor Marcos outlines a threefold approach—repentance, renouncement, and restoration—as the believer’s response to God’s Word, leading to sanctification and renewal of the soul.

Ultimately, The Effective Working Word highlights that only by fully welcoming the Word of God as truth can believers experience real deliverance, holiness, and strength to withstand the hostility of the world. It is the Word that effectively works in those who believe, shaping them into the likeness of Christ until the day of full redemption.

THE EFFECTIVE WORKING WORD

In The Keeper, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from Genesis 2:15 to explain God’s original commission to Adam—to “tend and keep” the Garden of Eden—as a model for every believer’s spiritual responsibility. The Hebrew word shamar reveals the role of a watchman, one who guards, protects, and keeps intruders from robbing what has been entrusted by God.

The lesson unfolds in three key principles. First, tending speaks to serving God and working out one’s salvation, which is necessary for producing spiritual fruit. Second, keeping requires vigilance against the enemy, who seeks to steal blessings and disrupt the fruitfulness of believers. Spiritual warfare, therefore, is not optional but essential, as Christians must guard against principalities and powers rather than merely flesh and blood adversaries.

Pastor Marrero stresses the personal responsibility of each believer to maintain their own “garden”—their life, household, and spiritual inheritance—without depending solely on church leaders. Using examples like Joshua and Caleb, he highlights that personal faithfulness can secure blessings even when others fall away. Protection of one’s garden requires discernment, testing spirits, and daily equipping with the armor of God, which forms the shape of the cross and provides complete covering in Christ.

Ultimately, the message calls believers to live crucified with Christ, surrendering selfish ambitions and walking in His life, which produces lasting fruit. By doing so, all that is consecrated to God remains untouchable by the enemy. The Keeper reminds Christians that Jesus, the Great Shepherd, never fails His people, and through Him, believers can guard, tend, and preserve the spiritual inheritance entrusted to them.

In Compromise, Pastor Marcos confronts the danger of false teachers who infiltrate the church with deceptive doctrines that weaken the faith of God’s people. Drawing from 2 Peter, he explains how Satan seeks to undermine the dual authority Christ has given His church—authority over both the spiritual and physical realms—by corrupting the Word of God and luring believers into selfish desires and covetousness.

The lesson emphasizes that faith comes only through hearing the uncompromised Word of God, and when believers compromise that truth, their spiritual authority is disarmed. Pastor Marcos outlines Peter’s instructions for fortifying faith: adding virtue (valor), knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. By standing on truth with courage and rejecting self-serving ambitions, believers strengthen their shield of faith, overcome deception, and shine as lights in a darkened world.

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos reminds us that we are called to reign as kings by first serving faithfully as priests. Living in uncompromised obedience to God’s Word ensures that our authority remains intact, enabling us to trample serpents and scorpions, expose the works of darkness, and minister the saving light of Christ to others.

COMPROMISE

In The Sin of Separation, Pastor Marcos explains how sin—specifically iniquities—creates a barrier between believers and God, causing Him to hide His face and refuse to hear their prayers (Isaiah 59:2). Unlike simple acts of sin, iniquities are often inherited predispositions to sin, passed down through generations due to ancestral idolatry (Exodus 20:5). Thus, many struggles, flaws, or weaknesses in a believer’s life can trace their roots to generational iniquity.

However, God’s covenant of mercy promises blessings to those who love Him and keep His commandments (Exodus 20:6). Through Jesus Christ, the last Adam, believers are transformed into a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and made partakers of His divine nature. Yet, even with this new nature, the old nature remains, requiring believers to put to death the works of the flesh through deliberate spiritual discipline (Colossians 3:1-5).

Pastor Marcos highlights that prayer and fasting are key in breaking the strongholds of iniquity (Matthew 17:21). Fasting denies the flesh and its selfish desires, while prayer brings revelation knowledge and empowers faith to overcome unbelief. He draws symbolic connections between numbers in Scripture—such as seventeen (works of the flesh) and nine (fruit of the Spirit)—to reveal God’s design for deliverance and transformation. When multiplied (17 × 9 = 153), the result points to the redeemed “sons of God” (John 21:11).

Ultimately, the lesson underscores that separation from God is overcome through Christ’s covenant, by walking in self-control, producing spiritual fruit, and embracing disciplines that break generational bondage. True restoration comes when believers humble themselves before God in prayer and fasting, allowing Him to convert the soul and draw them back into unbroken fellowship with Him.

In FIVE AND NINE, GRACE AND THE SPIRIT, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the symbolic and spiritual significance of biblical numbers as they apply to the Christian walk. Beginning with 1 Thessalonians 5:14, Paul instructs believers through five foundational graces—exhort, warn, comfort, uphold, and be patient—which guide personal growth, knowledge, perseverance, and maturity in Christ.

These five graces, when cultivated, give birth to nine spiritual necessities listed in verses 15–22, including rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, giving thanks, testing all things, and abstaining from evil. Pastor Marcos explains that just as the number five represents God’s grace and breath, and the number nine represents spiritual completeness, together they form a fourteen-fold process leading to full sanctification of spirit, soul, and body.

The teaching draws from examples in both Old and New Testaments—highlighting the nine fruits of the Spirit, nine beatitudes, and nine gifts—as patterns of completeness. Through this lens, Marrero emphasizes that God’s grace (five) working in us produces the Spirit’s fullness (nine), resulting in a life that is whole and blameless before Christ.

Ultimately, the message reminds believers that, though we are nothing apart from God, aligning ourselves with Him transforms us from zero to ten, bringing us into spiritual completeness by the power of grace and the Spirit.

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.

In It Is the Anointing Oil That Breaks the Yoke, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the deep spiritual significance of anointing with oil as revealed in Scripture. From Zechariah’s vision of Jerusalem surrounded by God’s fiery protection to Isaiah’s promise that the yoke of oppression is destroyed because of the anointing, Pastor Marcos explains how the oil symbolizes the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

He emphasizes that anointing oil is not merely symbolic, but a spiritual covering that demons recognize and fear. When believers walk in the anointing of Christ, evil spirits cannot distinguish between them and Christ Himself. This divine covering serves as both protection and empowerment, reminding believers of their authority in Christ.

The lesson highlights the various applications of anointing oil: for peace over cities and communities, for protection over homes and properties, and for consecration of the believer’s own body as God’s dwelling place. Pastor Marcos encourages practical use, such as anointing city gates, property lines, and homes, as visible declarations of God’s peace and presence.

Anointed oil, once consecrated, becomes a holy tool for deliverance, healing, and preservation until the day of redemption. Just as God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power to heal the oppressed, He also anoints His people in Christ to bring freedom, healing, and light into the world. Ultimately, the teaching points believers to rejoice not in the authority itself, but in the deeper truth that their names are written in heaven and that the Anointed One dwells within them.

In Spiritual Warfare, Pastor Marcos draws on Jonah’s revelation in Jonah 2:8, where clinging to idols results in forfeiting God’s grace, to unveil the core of spiritual battles. He emphasizes that many believers fail in warfare not because they lack spiritual weapons, but because they simultaneously resist and harbor the very forces they are trying to cast out. Using Jonah’s rebellion as an example, Pastor Marcos highlights that disobedience and stubbornness are akin to witchcraft and idolatry, leading one deeper into darkness until true repentance occurs.

He contrasts Jonah’s repentance with King Saul’s unrepentant rebellion, showing that victory in warfare requires acknowledging sin, repenting with thanksgiving, and recognizing that salvation comes only from God. Pastor Marcos stresses that light and darkness are the only two forces at work in the spiritual realm, and that Satan often disguises himself and his ministers as creatures of light. Thus, discerning true light always comes down to obedience to God’s Word.

Pastor Marcos further explains that Jonah’s reluctance to preach to Nineveh revealed a heart issue—resenting God’s mercy toward sinners. Spiritual warfare, then, is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual principalities, meaning believers must align their hearts with God’s merciful nature, even toward enemies. Hatred, bitterness, and focusing on the flesh indicate one is still in darkness, while love and mercy reflect the light of God.

In application to the modern believer, Pastor Marcos shows that warfare requires discernment of God’s timing—knowing when He calls for mercy or judgment—and separating from those who deny the spiritual reality of warfare, as they represent false light. True victory comes from walking in the light, discerning the unseen spiritual realm, and ridding oneself of the hindrances that obstruct one’s walk with Christ.

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos concludes that spiritual warfare is about more than confronting external forces—it is about aligning one’s soul with God’s will, obeying His timing, and receiving the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that believers may live in the fullness of His calling (Ephesians 1:17-18).

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Pastor Marcos explains that what separates Christianity from all other belief systems is its foundation on the reality of eternal life through Christ. While religions and philosophies speak of legacy or immortality, true Christianity offers believers a literal eternal existence—soul and body—secured by the resurrection of Jesus, who lives forever as High Priest on the basis of an indestructible life (Hebrews 7:16).

The teaching outlines the believer’s journey after death: appearing before the judgment seat of Christ for purification, receiving a spiritual covering, and later being clothed in a glorified, resurrected body. In contrast, unbelievers await the final resurrection, where their bodies and souls are cast into the lake of fire—the second death. Scripture affirms that all human bodies were originally designed for eternity, but sin introduced death, requiring Christ’s indestructible life to restore creation.

Pastor Marcos further illustrates the eternal nature of the soul using analogies of recorded information: just as data is never lost, human souls carry all experiences, and believers’ souls are refined and redeemed through Christ before entering eternal glory. The indestructible life of Jesus is the divine energy that sustains creation, as every atom responds to the Word of God. The resurrection of Christ is proof that mortality will be swallowed up by life, offering believers the hope of eternal fellowship with God in a new heaven and new earth.

Ultimately, the teaching emphasizes that Jesus’ indestructible life is not only the foundation of salvation but also the power that guarantees victory over death, eternal hope for believers, and the final judgment for the lost.

“GOD’S DWELLING PLACE” explores the deep cry of the psalmist in Psalm 43:3: “Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your tabernacle.” Pastor Marrero begins by acknowledging the reality of persecution, which ranges from general spiritual trials common to all believers (1 Corinthians 10:13) to personal, targeted attacks fueled by spiritual opposition and national apostasy (Psalm 43:1–2).

The lesson draws a clear line between:

Common temptation that tests every believer, and

Specific persecution that targets individuals—often those receiving spiritual revelation or occupying high spiritual callings (2 Corinthians 12:7).

Pastor Marrero uses David’s life as a case study, showing how David endured personal attacks from Saul and an ungodly system, not by retaliating, but by refusing to partake in idolatry, maintaining integrity (Psalm 26:1–5), and trusting in God’s vindication. David’s refusal to “sit with the wicked” became the very thing that qualified him to be a dwelling place for God’s glory, and eventually to lead Israel into national revival.

The teaching emphasizes that:

God’s light and truth are the forces that drive away demonic oppression, but they require a dwelling place—a purified heart that hosts His presence.

Psalm 24 identifies the qualifications to ascend to God’s holy hill: clean hands, a pure heart, and separation from idols.

The message turns prophetic as Pastor Marrero addresses modern nations—particularly America—that have turned from righteousness, allowing demonic influence to infiltrate their systems. He points to the judiciary’s corruption, moral decay, and contempt for God’s people as evidence of national backsliding (Proverbs 14:34).

In response, the believer is called to:

Separate from worldly alliances,

Maintain personal holiness,

Cry out for God’s vindication, and

Become a living tabernacle where His presence dwells.

The teaching concludes with the reminder that God’s dwelling place is ultimately within the heart of the faithful worshiper—one who rejects compromise, embraces joy in God, and adorns themselves with the garment of praise to break the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3). The believer’s prayer becomes David’s prayer: “Lead me in Your truth… for You are the God of my salvation” (Psalm 25:4–5).

In Psalm 133: The Power of Unity, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the richness of unity among God’s people as described in Psalm 133. He begins by underscoring that unity embodies the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14). True fellowship and love among believers are seen as an act of worship, just as important as direct worship to God.

Unity is compared to the anointing oil poured upon Aaron the High Priest, symbolizing how the grace of Christ begins at the Head and flows downward to the rest of His body, the church. This oil represents God’s grace that allows believers to love and accept one another despite imperfections, sustaining them through the love of God and the ongoing work of sanctification.

The psalm then likens unity to the refreshing dew of Hermon descending on Zion, symbolizing spiritual vitality and abundance. Pastor Marcos explains that while many believers possess eternal life through salvation, abundant life is unlocked when we dwell in unity. It is there—in the Spirit of unity—that God commands His blessing: life forevermore (Psalm 133:3). This unity not only breaks the yoke of oppression but also releases God’s provision, guidance, and abundant spiritual life (John 10:10; Isaiah 48:17).

The teaching concludes that living in unity is both a command and a key to experiencing the fullness of God’s blessing, as His grace, love, and fellowship flow unhindered among His people.

In Therefore We Hoped, Pastor Marcos Marrero presents a teaching on the biblical truth that hope is an indispensable gift from God, one that remains steadfast even when everything else is lost. Using Romans 15:13 as the foundation, he explains that hope is the divine key to living with confidence in God’s promises, filling believers with joy, peace, and strength through the Holy Spirit.

The teaching highlights the transformative nature of hope, describing it as a “default setting” within every believer that allows them to start anew each day, leaving behind past failures. Pastor Marcos ties this renewal to the principle of “dying daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31), teaching that surrendering selfish desires makes room for God’s better plan, which brings lasting fulfillment.

Through biblical examples, such as Abraham’s faith “against all hope” (Romans 4:18), and practical illustrations, Pastor Marcos shows how hope fuels perseverance, repels bitterness, and nurtures faith. Hope not only sustains the Christian walk but also empowers believers to rise again after setbacks, seeing each new day as a fresh opportunity in God’s mercy (Lamentations 3:22–23).

Ultimately, Therefore We Hoped emphasizes that hope is rooted in God’s Word, sustaining believers until Christ’s return. No matter how many times they stumble, what matters most is that they are found holding on to hope—because in the end, therefore we hoped!

In Spiritual Principles, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Psalm 19:7 as the foundation for understanding how God’s law is perfect, converting the soul and enlightening the heart. He draws parallels between the physical laws of nature, such as gravity and aerodynamics, and their spiritual counterparts, like pride leading to a fall and grace lifting the humble. Through these comparisons, he shows that while physical laws may sometimes be defied or mitigated, spiritual laws are flawless and unchanging, always producing their intended results.

The lesson highlights how Jesus’ teachings consistently revolved around spiritual principles, often illustrated through parables, and how His disciples, though untrained in worldly education, demonstrated profound wisdom through their understanding of these truths. Pastor Marcos explains that spiritual principles warn us, correct us, and reward us when followed with humility, but bring destruction when violated through pride or presumption.

Grace is presented as the higher spiritual law that sets humanity free from the weight of sin, much like aerodynamics overcomes the pull of gravity. The text emphasizes that God’s statutes are more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey, converting the soul and shaping a life of righteousness. Ultimately, walking in humility and reverence for God allows believers to live under the covering of grace, avoiding presumptuous sins, and keeping their words and hearts aligned with God’s will.

The teaching concludes with the prayer of Psalm 19:14—an exhortation to let both word and meditation be acceptable before the Lord, who is our strength and Redeemer.

In The Foul Spirit of Hate, Pastor Marcos Marrero examines the spiritual reality behind the destructive force of hatred. Drawing from Revelation 18:2 and other Scriptures, he explains that hatred is not merely an emotion but a manifestation of a foul spirit working through human souls to stir up chaos, division, and rebellion against God’s truth. Using insights from the Greek meanings of “spirit” (pnyoomah) and “soul” (phookhay), he clarifies how spirits act as currents of influence, shaping human personalities and actions.

Pastor Marcos describes the mechanics of spiritual influence: the human spirit was designed to draw energy from God’s Word, but when influenced by unclean spirits, it leads to destructive behavior. He stresses that inspiration and influence come from spiritual sources—if they contradict God’s Word, they are unclean. Believers, though made new in Christ, must choose daily which spirits they allow to guide them and filter every influence through Scripture.

Focusing on hate as a dominant strongman in these last days, he identifies it as one of the three most powerful human emotions—alongside love and fear. Hatred, whether violent or verbal, fuels division and strife, especially through modern propaganda and media that incite old grievances and perpetuate enmity. Pastor Marcos warns that harboring hatred leads to insurrection of the soul, a revolt from within, where one’s fallen nature rebels against God’s commands.

The teaching concludes with a strong exhortation: believers must not repay evil with evil, nor fall into Satan’s trap of cruel hatred. Instead, they must cling to God’s Spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. By allowing God’s love to govern their responses, Christians can rise above deception, remain steadfast in faith, and avoid backsliding into hatred, walking instead in the peace and satisfaction that comes from above.

In Doctrines of Men, Pastor Marcos Marrero teaches from Colossians 2:21–23, showing how religious rules such as “do not touch, do not taste, do not handle” appear wise but ultimately enslave the soul and are powerless against sin. He explains that salvation, also understood as deliverance, is intended to free believers from anything that hinders their spiritual walk. Yet, one of the enemy’s greatest tools has been the traditions of men—rules and regulations that masquerade as godliness but lead to bondage.

Through scriptural examples, Pastor Marcos demonstrates how such traditions deceive believers into thinking they please God, when in reality they are kept from enjoying the liberty of Christ. He warns that these doctrines are not neutral but are the “doctrines of demons,” designed to foster idolatry, blind spiritual understanding, and replace dependence on God with dependence on religious systems. The historical decline of the Laodicean church is presented as a sobering example of how man-made doctrines result in lukewarm faith, spiritual blindness, and self-deception.

Ultimately, Pastor Marcos calls believers to test themselves in the faith, remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and anchor their lives solely in the Word of God. By seeking the things above and living under the guidance of Christ, believers can resist deception, overcome idolatry, and walk in the fullness of God’s wisdom, knowledge, and glory.

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 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.

The Power of the Tongue by Lisa Kane is a personal testimony and biblical teaching based on Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Drawing from her own battle with depression, Lisa shares how she overcame through prayer and by boldly speaking against the spirit of depression. She recounts how declaring God’s truth aloud—commanding depression to leave and asking God for strength—brought freedom, joy, and lasting change in her life.

The message emphasizes the power of words in shaping one’s reality, urging readers to consider what they are telling themselves daily. Negative confessions such as “I’m sick” or “I’m tired” reinforce defeat, while positive declarations rooted in God’s Word cultivate faith, healing, and strength. Lisa encourages believers to boldly use their tongue as a spiritual weapon, reminding them of Romans 8:37—“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

This teaching calls Christians to rise up in faith, reject destructive self-talk, and speak life-giving words that align with God’s promises, knowing that through Christ they are equipped to overcome every challenge.

In Fragmented Souls, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the depth of what it means for the human soul to be broken and divided, and how God restores it to wholeness. Beginning with Psalm 23:3—“He restores my soul”—the teaching examines how both the soul and the spirit dwell within the spiritual heart, the unseen core of human existence that influences attitudes, emotions, and will. Unlike the physical body, which may lose parts and still survive, the soul does not lose parts but rather becomes fragmented, separated from within, leading to spiritual weakness and oppression.

Drawing from passages like Luke 4:18, Pastor Marcos explains that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and restore fragmented souls to their original, God-designed state. A fragmented soul occurs when it has been moved or motivated by lies rather than truth. Lies fragment the soul, but the truth of God’s Word heals, restores, and liberates. Thus, restoration begins with being born again by the Spirit of truth, which energizes the soul to let go of deception and embrace the freedom offered in Christ (John 8:32).

The lesson also distinguishes between soul and spirit: the soul functions like an engine that awaits a spiritual current (inspiration or influence), while the spirit acts as the energy flow that drives it. When the spirit is energized by God’s Word, the soul is empowered to overcome fragmentation. However, when deceived by worldly lies, the soul remains weakened and oppressed. Pastor Marcos warns that the world system, rooted in deception, continually seeks to indoctrinate through false teachings such as evolution or man-made traditions, which keep souls divided.

Healing requires discerning lies from truth, forgiving those who unintentionally passed down deceptions, and rejecting practices that perpetuate fragmentation. Scripture assures that those with a pure, undivided heart will receive blessing and righteousness from God (Psalm 24:3-5). Ultimately, restoration of the soul is achieved by fully relying on God’s promises and living in the truth of His Word.

Fragmented Souls concludes with a call for believers to stand apart from deceit, idolatry, and worldly influences, so that their souls may be whole, strong, and fully aligned with God’s will, walking in the righteousness of salvation.

In Deliverance from Discouragement, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from Joshua’s journey into leadership after the death of Moses to highlight how God strengthens His people against discouragement. God repeatedly commands Joshua to be strong and courageous, teaching that His Word must be meditated on, spoken aloud, and used as a weapon against spiritual attacks.

The teaching explains that discouragement feeds on death and change, both of which bring uncertainty and fear. Yet God’s command to Joshua—“Moses My servant is dead…Arise, go over this Jordan”—reveals the call to move forward in faith instead of remaining bound by despair. Pastor Marcos compares this to today’s world, where moral decline, cultural changes, and spiritual compromise can easily lead Christians into discouragement. However, God’s timing is always perfect, and His promises remain sure despite shifting circumstances.

The message emphasizes the need for prayer, unity of the Spirit, and confidence in God’s eternal refuge. Using biblical examples, Marrero encourages believers to wield the “sword of the Spirit,” remain steadfast in faith, and find joy in the unchanging promises of God. Ultimately, the teaching reminds Christians that discouragement cannot prevail when we understand God is in control, and that even in times of decline and suffering, our blessed hope in Christ draws nearer.

In The Mind, Minister Lisa Kane teaches that one of the greatest battlegrounds for a believer is not external, but internal—the mind. While created in the image of God and endowed with the mind of Christ, our thoughts often become vulnerable to confusion, misunderstanding, and deception. Scripture reveals that confusion is never from God, but from the enemy, and believers are called to take authority over it through the name of Jesus.

The lesson further explains how misunderstanding stems from the heart, requiring repentance and a return to God’s Word for true understanding. When dealing with fact or fiction, feelings and perceptions must not dictate truth; instead, believers are to lean on the Word of God and exercise self-control through the Spirit.

Trust and faith, foundational to a believer’s walk, are emphasized as both a gift and an action that must be nurtured. Unbelief can hinder faith, but by dwelling in God’s presence daily, believers can overcome doubt and strengthen their trust in Him. Ultimately, the mind is renewed and protected through salvation, the Word, and intentional time spent with God.

This teaching equips believers to reject lies, overcome confusion, and develop a steadfast, faith-filled mind that reflects the authority and likeness of Christ.

In Facts and Acts, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the difference between the soul and the spirit in responding to God’s Word and promises, using Mary’s response to the angel’s announcement in Luke 1 as a model. Mary’s spirit rejoiced in the fact of God’s promise, while her soul magnified the Lord through acts of worship. This contrast highlights that the spirit receives and accepts divine truth as fact, while the soul acts and reacts based on those facts.

Pastor Marcos contrasts Mary’s faith-filled acceptance with Zacharias’s doubt, showing how unbelief can hinder the fullness of God’s blessing, even though His purposes ultimately prevail. He stresses that faith in the unchanging Word of God enables believers to rejoice in spiritual facts, regardless of circumstances, while doubt causes the soul to be swayed by natural limitations.

The lesson further emphasizes that God’s promises—redemption, salvation, and covenant mercy—are eternal facts. When believers magnify these truths in their souls and act upon them, they align themselves with God’s plan. However, rejecting or doubting these facts leaves one vulnerable to deception and spiritual loss.

Pastor Marcos concludes by reminding believers that Jesus is the ultimate fact of salvation—His incarnation, death, resurrection, and promised return are the foundation of Christian faith. These truths demand a response: either to act in faith and obedience, or to ignore them and risk eternal separation from God. The Word of God is forever settled in heaven, and our acts, when rooted in these eternal facts, will never be forgotten.

The Secret Things Judgment explores the biblical truth that every work, including secret things, will one day be brought to judgment by God (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Pastor Marcos contrasts two judgments revealed in Scripture: the judgment seat of Christ, where believers are tested and rewarded, and the great white throne judgment, reserved for unbelievers. He explains that while salvation cannot be lost, believers will give account for their works—whether they were done in the flesh or through the Spirit.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, Pastor Marcos teaches that works rooted in selfish ambition or natural strength will burn like wood, hay, and straw, but works produced by the Spirit will endure like gold, silver, and precious stones. The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) stands as the evidence of lasting works. However, “secret things”—unexposed strongholds within the soul—can hinder this fruit.

The lesson provides practical self-examination, showing how to identify and confront hindrances to love, joy, peace, and other fruits of the Spirit. The Word of God, described as both a fire and a hammer (Jeremiah 23:29), is presented as the tool to break down these hidden barriers and purify the believer. Pastor Marcos stresses that believers need not wait until the Day of Judgment to be purified; they can allow the Spirit and the Word to refine them now.

Ultimately, the teaching calls believers to embrace God’s love, demolish hidden strongholds, and live Spirit-filled lives that produce eternal fruit. Pastor Marcos concludes with the joy of serving Christ selflessly, knowing that even one act of obedience leading a soul back to God brings immeasurable delight to the Lord.

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.

In The Anointing That Heals, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the scriptural foundation of God’s healing power as revealed through the anointing of Jesus Christ (Acts 10:38). He explains that while all believers are anointed with the Holy Spirit at salvation, not all walk in the power of that anointing because of a lack of enlightenment in the truth of God’s Word. The Spirit of Truth only bears witness to God’s Word and glorifies Christ, which means that to walk in the power of the anointing, believers must remain faithful and aligned with Scripture.

Pastor Marcos emphasizes that without the Spirit of God we are helpless, without Jesus we are powerless, and without the Word of God we are directionless. He challenges believers to examine their relationship with God’s Word, since handling it deceitfully or with unbelief hinders the flow of the Spirit’s power. Liberty, transformation, and healing are promised where the Spirit of the Lord is present (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).

The teaching also highlights that the healing anointing often follows a process of inner transformation. Even in moments of weakness, failure, or delay, God’s love and grace remain constant, and His power is revealed in faithfulness. Through personal testimony, Pastor Marcos shares how God’s anointing has shown up even in his failures, proving that the miracle is always the work of the Anointer, not the vessel.

Ultimately, the lesson stresses that the believer’s role is to show up, pray, anoint, and declare God’s Word—leaving the results to Him. The bottom line of the healing anointing is rooted in God’s unchanging love and compassion. As Jesus declared, “all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23), reminding us that the anointing that heals flows from God’s truth, His Spirit, and His everlasting love for His people.

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 Spirituality Versus Carnality, Pastor Marcos Marrero examines Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian church, highlighting the tension between spiritual maturity and carnal living. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:1–4, he explains that spiritual Christians are mature in faith, while carnal Christians remain as infants in Christ, unable to receive deeper revelations because they are hindered by envy, strife, and division.

Pastor Marcos contrasts the world’s wisdom with God’s hidden wisdom, reminding readers that spiritual truths cannot be grasped through human reasoning but only through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. He points to Paul’s ministry as an example, where the demonstration of God’s Spirit and power, rather than persuasive words, confirmed the truth of the gospel.

The lesson also clarifies that the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control—are marks of a spiritual life. On the other hand, works of the flesh such as selfish ambition, resentment, and divisions mark a carnal life and prevent believers from growing in spiritual understanding.

Through biblical examples, such as Rahab’s decision to act spiritually rather than merely “do the right thing,” Pastor Marcos shows that spiritual maturity often requires choices that defy worldly logic. He urges believers to submit to Christ’s teachings, even when they do not make sense to the natural mind, trusting that the Holy Spirit will apply God’s wisdom and peace to their lives.

Ultimately, the message underscores that the Christian life involves a daily choice between spirituality and carnality. By yielding to the Spirit and rejecting the flesh, believers grow in freedom, wisdom, and maturity—living as those who are no longer slaves to sin but made free in Christ.
