WHY DOES SATAN WANT YOU SO MUCH? The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the true reason why Satan desires to attack and deceive humanity. By examining the creation story, the fall of man, and God’s redemptive plan through Christ, the lesson reveals that Satan’s hatred is not directed at us personally, but rather at God’s love for us. It encourages believers to stay rooted in relationship with God, knowing that through Jesus Christ they have victory over sin, death, and the enemy’s schemes. < Back WHY DOES SATAN WANT YOU SO MUCH? Minister Lisa Kane Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the true reason why Satan desires to attack and deceive humanity. By examining the creation story, the fall of man, and God’s redemptive plan through Christ, the lesson reveals that Satan’s hatred is not directed at us personally, but rather at God’s love for us. It encourages believers to stay rooted in relationship with God, knowing that through Jesus Christ they have victory over sin, death, and the enemy’s schemes. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Have you ever asked yourself why does Satan want me? It’s an interesting question and opens up the Bible by bringing a more complete understanding of the entire picture, and it goes back to the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 2:8 New King James Version (NJKV) 8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. Genesis 2:15-20 (NJVK) 15 Then the Lord God took [d]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [e]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[f] shall surely die.” 18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to [g]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. The above scriptures show us that Adam was in the Garden of Eden without Eve for some amount of time. We don’t know how much time because the Bible doesn't tell us, but we can guess that at least several months to maybe a handful of years went by where there was no Eve. How do I know this? How many animals, beasts, and birds did God create that Adam named and how long do you think it took Adam to name them all? Imagine this, let’s say God brought in a male and female animal that were gray, big, and heavy with trunks on them and Adam says I will call these elephants. What-if God asked Adam why? And what-if Adam asked God why a skinny tail versus a bigger tail to match its girth? You see God and Adam were talking or having a relationship. They were spending time with one another. God interacted with the image He made of Himself. Genesis 1:26a (NKJV) 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; We were made extremely different then any other creature God had already made. We don’t look like the angels and to top it all off, God was spending time with Adam, not the other angels. Which begs the question, who was in the Garden of Eden watching? Ezekiel 28:13 (NKJV) 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. Satan was in the garden of Eden and he was watching everything going on. He was perplexed and confused to say the least. He couldn’t figure out how could God spend so much time with such an inferior creature? When comparing man against his beauty, there was no comparison. He was made with every precious stone and was so beautiful, yet God wasn’t spending time with him…no he was spending time with Adam. When Satan saw that God placed a female in the Garden and left to give Adam and Eve a ‘honeymoon’, Satan wanted to show God how inferior this creature was. In fact, he wanted to make it such a point to rub it in His face…and was probably thinking that he could do a better job in creating creatures. And that is why Satan wanted us. And he continues to want us to this day because every time he wins, he's hurting God. Satan doesn't care about who you are or what you do but he does care that God loves you so much that he'll do everything in his power to hurt you because he knows it will hurt God. To put it simply, Satan hates God and everything God loves, Satan hates. God showed His love by spending time with Adam. Love is action and God is action. I bet Satan thought he was right when he deceived Eve and Adam. Genesis 3:1-6 (NKJV) 3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was [a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves [b]coverings. But God. He had a bigger plan all along. John 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. We’re made in His image and He loves us. He paid a large price, the death of His Son on the cross, to get us back from the curse of sin when Adam and Eve disobeyed God because of Satan's hatred toward Him. Romans 6:23 (NKJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. After Adam and Eve sinned, they began aging and eventually died. But Jesus broke death by rising from the dead. Matthew 28:6a (NKJV) 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Hallelujah! Now you and I can rise from certain death by believing and Satan may want to hurt us to hurt God but he can't hurt us anymore. God made a way for us to be saved! Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And all it takes is talking to God. It began as a relationship with God and Adam, and it will end in a relationship with God and me (you). Say this out loud: Dear Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross. Forgive me of my sins and come into my life. Be my Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ Name Amen! Praise the Lord! You are now saved through Jesus Christ and don’t let anyone or anything tell you otherwise. Protect yourself by staying in that relationship with God because where God is, Satan isn’t. How do you stay in a relationship with God? Read His Word! It will be your foundation and get you through life.

THE KEEPER The objective of The Keeper is to teach believers the biblical responsibility of tending and keeping the spiritual gardens of their lives. It emphasizes the dual call to serve God faithfully while protecting the blessings He has entrusted to us from demonic interference, through vigilance, spiritual warfare, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. < Back THE KEEPER Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of The Keeper is to teach believers the biblical responsibility of tending and keeping the spiritual gardens of their lives. It emphasizes the dual call to serve God faithfully while protecting the blessings He has entrusted to us from demonic interference, through vigilance, spiritual warfare, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Genesis 2:15 “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Keep: Shamar, in the original Hebrew text, and it means, To hedge about as with thorns (barb wire), to guard, to protect, as a watchman lying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Adam was commissioned by God to tend and to keep the garden of Eden. To Tend means to work by serving. Adam was to work while serving in the garden, and at the same time he was to keep it safe, by protecting the garden that he had been given dominion over—from demonic intruders, since there were at that time, no other humans besides Adam and Eve. We see two principles here that deal with our abilities to produce spiritual fruit from God: First, we need to work out our own salvation by serving God in order to produce spiritual fruit, since spiritual fruit does not happen by itself. Philippians 2:12-13 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do (to tend and to keep) for His good pleasure.” We are to seek after the things of God which are spiritual in order to produce spiritual fruit. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Secondly, we need to watch out for thieves whose aim is to rob us of the blessings that come as a result of our serving the Living God with a true heart. Proverbs 27:18 “Whoever keeps (protects and/or tends) the fig tree will eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master will be honored.” Sadly, too many Christians who serve God faithfully, do not get to partake of the spiritual fruit that their true labor of love produces, because they are not aware of the thief who is robbing them blind. 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” If the devil did not have the ability to deprive us of our spiritual blessings, we would not be commanded to be sober and be vigilant. I believe that the reason so many Christians are swindled by the devil out of their spiritual blessings, is because so many churches do not embrace the teachings of the ministry of deliverance, which is all about spiritual warfare and keeping watch: to guard, to protect, as a watchman laying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Matthew 24:43 “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” From the days of the garden of Eden, humans have let down their guard by failing to keep their garden safe and allowed the enemy to rob them of the fruits of their labor. Zechariah 13:7 “‘Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; then I will turn My hand against the little ones.’” Behind Zechariah’s Messianic prophecy we see the spiritual principle that the enemy uses to steal our spiritual blessings from us. While the prophecy applies to Jesus dying on the cross and the scattering of His disciples, the principle works the same; if the devil can get to the shepherds of the church he can also scatter the sheep and turn his hand against them. Spiritual warfare is not a Christian accessory, it is a vital part of everyday Christianity. We are not guarding against flesh and blood enemies; we are protecting against principalities and powers. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” In the face of the fact that not too many Christians are taught about spiritual warfare in their local churches—since way too many shepherds have been intimidated by the enemy—we are going to deal with the personal aspect of tending and keeping our own gardens. The number one, and must important thing that we need to know is that we have a personal—a one and one relationship with Jesus, and no natural family, or church family, or a shepherd who is the leader of the church of which we are members, is ever to come between us and our personal relationship that we have with Jesus, and our responsibility to tend and to keep watch over our own personal gardens. Matthew 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” This ensures that if the shepherd fails in his responsibility to properly keep his congregation safe—if he fails to tend it properly—these church members are still guarded and protected by the Great Shepherd under whose wing they have taken refuge. That is why we take the Word of God to church with us, because our covenant is with the Word who became flesh and died for us, and not with mere mortal men. Where other men will fail us, Jesus is the Man that will never fail us. The second thing then, is that we are personally responsible to tend and to keep safe our own garden. What is our own garden? Joshua 24:15 “...But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua and Caleb were part of the twelve spies, ten of which gave a bad report and caused the rest of the people to turn back from their inheritance. Although Joshua and Caleb gave a good report, it was not accepted because of the fear that the report of the other ten spies brought into the camp. Although the possessing of their inheritance was delayed by forty years due to the false report of the other ten leaders, Joshua and Caleb entered into their inheritance because of their faith, while none of the others did, for they all died in the desert. While they were still part of the whole, they were able to keep the enemy from stealing what was their personal inheritance. Acts 16:31 “So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” Our own garden is that which belongs to us in accordance with God’s promises, and it is our own personal responsibility to guard it and to keep it safe no matter what. If a church leader is pressured into compromising the promises given to the body of Christ—they do so at their own risk—we do not have to compromise our own personal promises, we can take a stand like Joshua and Caleb did. The third thing is, How do we guard our own personal garden? 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Keep in mind that it is spiritual fruit that we are trying to guard. Also that our real enemies are spirits masking behind flesh and blood. Ephesians 6:13-17 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” If one draws a picture of a human body standing at attention, with both arms completely extended horizontally to the sides, it forms a cross. Now if we draw a line from the helmet of salvation through the breastplate of righteousness, on through the belt of truth where it ties with the buckle, and unto the feet which are shod with the gospel of peace. Then draw a separate line from the right hand which is holding the sword of the Spirit, to the left hand which is holding the shield of faith, the cross is complete. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” The goal of spiritual fruit is self-control; the enemy of self-control is selfish-ambitions. Death to our self-life for the sake of Christ’s life always produces spiritual fruit, for such fruit emanates from the Anointed One Himself who dwells within those of us who believe in Him. But most importantly, those who die to themselves for the sake of living Christ’s life, clothe themselves with an impenetrable armor that not only protects them, but that also protects all that belongs to them. Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” In spiritual warfare all that we surrender to Jesus is kept safe, for we may not always be able to keep the enemy with all his cunning out of our garden. But if all that is within our garden is marked with the sign of the cross, the devil cannot touch it; for it is holy to the Lord and consecrated to God and for the glory of His only begotten Son, the Anointed One. 1 Chronicles 16:22 “Saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.’” Let us not forget that the armor of God is also the armor of light which completely covers us with His anointing. Romans 13:12, 14 “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness (selfish ambitions), and let us put on the armor of light...But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Previous Home Next

SPIRITUALITY VERSUS CARNALITY The objective of this teaching is to help believers discern the difference between living as spiritual Christians and living as carnal Christians. Pastor Marcos Marrero emphasizes that true spiritual maturity is marked not by worldly wisdom or religious appearances, but by the fruit of the Spirit and the revelation of God’s wisdom through the Holy Spirit. This lesson seeks to guide believers into choosing daily to walk in the Spirit, rather than yielding to the works of the flesh, so that they may mature into victorious, Christ-centered lives. < Back SPIRITUALITY VERSUS CARNALITY Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers discern the difference between living as spiritual Christians and living as carnal Christians. Pastor Marcos Marrero emphasizes that true spiritual maturity is marked not by worldly wisdom or religious appearances, but by the fruit of the Spirit and the revelation of God’s wisdom through the Holy Spirit. This lesson seeks to guide believers into choosing daily to walk in the Spirit, rather than yielding to the works of the flesh, so that they may mature into victorious, Christ-centered lives. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: 1 Corinthians 3:1 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.” A spiritual Christian is a mature Christian, and a carnal Christian is one who does not have a clue as to what spirituality is really all about. It is odd that in some church settings, spiritual Christians are frowned upon as being way out there, out of the main stream, they are almost ashamed to acknowledge them, while their carnal counterparts or more worldly minded Christians are held with high regard for being more in touch with the reality of life, in their more balanced relationship with the world system. Let’s face it, spiritual truths are always at odds with the physical realities. I see programs on TV all the time trying to explain biblical events, not just secular programs, some Christian shows as well, that try to make carnal sense of events that can only be interpreted through the eyes of faith in the word of God. Paul’s complaint to the Corinthians is that he cannot address them with the meat of spiritual truth because they are like infants holding on to their baby bottles. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like to know the mechanics of how things work more than anybody else, but I am humbled enough to know that while I am in this body of flesh, I am limited in my ability to fully understand spiritual mysteries. If I do not fully understand something, I am comfortable enough in my belief that it happened the way that God said it happened, and my faith does not require any further explanation. 1 Corinthians 3:2-3 “I fed you with milk and not solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal…” Paul, while under his apostolic ministry and anointing, was privy to the revelation of the mysteries that had been hidden from the sages of old and was extremely eager to share those revelations that he had received with all his converts. But imagine his frustration with the inability of many of his converts to receive the revelation of those spiritual mysteries that he treasured. 2 Peter 3:15-16 “And consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable (carnal) people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.” Peter himself acknowledges the gift that God had invested in the apostle Paul, and recognizes the fact that it takes spiritual maturity to receive the understanding of many of the mysteries that Paul was revealing in his teachings to the churches. How does a carnal babe in Christ become a spiritually mature servant? 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” The majority of Paul’s converts got saved by the demonstration of God’s Spirit and power moving in their midst as Paul preached to them, so that it was the supernatural manifestation of God’s power among them that confirmed the truth of what Paul was preaching to them, not human logic. Now Paul is teaching them that in order for them to become spiritual they have to follow the same pattern, spirituality does not come through persuasive words of human wisdom, but rather through the manifestation of God’s Spirit and power, that in many instances defy human logic. 1 Corinthians 2:6-7 “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in an mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory.” The wisdom that makes us spiritual is like an encoded mystery that was deposited into our newly recreated born-again spirit-man when we got saved, which only the Holy Spirit can reveal or decode in those who through the agency of faith and trust in the word of God, will be able to receive and understand. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the sprit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except (unless) the Spirit of God (reveals them to us).” The spiritual mystery or quality that enables a believer to become spiritual or mature, has already been deposited into our recreated spirit-man, but the revelation or unlocking of those mysteries are left to the Spirit of God who searches the human spirit that dwells within our heart, to see if spiritual fruit it's been produced by our spirit. 1 Corinthians 3:3 “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you (works of the flesh), are you not carnal and behaving like mere (natural instead of spiritual) men?” I am responsible before God for the kind of fruit that my spirit produces: Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, meekness, faithfulness and self-control are all spiritual fruit, the more of that kind of fruit that my spirit produces, the greater the revelation of God’s wisdom that I will receive as it is unveiled through my heart by the Spirit of God. Envy, strife, divisions, selfish ambitions, and the like, are all spiritual manifestations of the works of the flesh, the carnality that will hinder my heart from receiving the revelation that will allow me to become a mature, and victorious spiritual Christian. So that I have a choice to make each and every day between peace and distress, love and hate, forgiveness and resentment. Am I going to be at peace in the face of distress? Am I going to love those who hate me? Am I going to forgive those whom I resent? If I follow my natural inclinations that compel me to demand an eye for an eye, then the spiritual revelation that makes me wise in Christ is withheld from me, for my actions prevent the Holy Spirit from revealing them to me as He desires. But if I summit myself to the words that our Lord taught us, His spiritual words that are my life, even when it absolutely makes no sense to me to do what He says, then the Holy Spirit is not hindered, and though I may not be ready to receive the understanding as to why I need to do what the Scriptures require, nevertheless, His healing balm will be applied to my soul and I will walk in His peace no matter what! John 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” There is a disconnect for many Christians between doing the right thing and doing the spiritual thing. Understanding the difference between doing that which is right and doing that which is spiritual can be an important factor that will help to lead us into maturity. That is because our natural understanding of what the right thing to do is, has been tainted by our worldly perception. We sometimes confuse human goodness with God inspired spirituality. So that when we think we are doing the right thing that should make us more spiritual, instead we are being carnal and do not even know it. Therein lies a trap that has diverted many well intended Christians from what had been a promising road to maturity, into the folly that Paul calls the wisdom of this age, by comparing or trying to understand spiritual things through the prism of human wisdom. 1 Corinthians 2:13-14 “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural (carnal) man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” The more spiritual that a believer becomes, the more at odds that he will be with the wisdom of this world, and the difference between what the spiritual thing to do is, verses that which is the right thing to do, will become more obvious to the believer that matures spiritually. A spiritually mature man will never be bound by the spirit of religion. 1 Corinthians 3:4 “For when one says, ‘I am of Paul,’ and another, ‘I am of Apollos,’ are you not carnal?” When Rahab the prostitute was faced with the choice of doing the right thing and not lie to the soldiers that asked about the whereabouts of the spies that visited her, she chose to do the spiritual thing instead, and protected those who belonged to God by misleading the soldiers away from them. By her actions she did not only save their lives, but she also saved her own life and the lives of her family and became part of Jesus ancestry. To become a spiritually mature Christian is the same as that of being a slave that has been made free. 1 Corinthians 2:15 “But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.” After all it is for freedom's sake that Christ has made us free!

SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES The objective of Spiritual Principles is to provide believers with a deeper understanding of God’s spiritual laws and how they govern the unseen spiritual realm with the same certainty that physical laws govern the natural universe. Pastor Marcos seeks to help Christians grasp the unchanging and perfect nature of spiritual principles, showing how obedience to them leads to transformation, humility, and grace, while disobedience results in spiritual downfall. < Back SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of Spiritual Principles is to provide believers with a deeper understanding of God’s spiritual laws and how they govern the unseen spiritual realm with the same certainty that physical laws govern the natural universe. Pastor Marcos seeks to help Christians grasp the unchanging and perfect nature of spiritual principles, showing how obedience to them leads to transformation, humility, and grace, while disobedience results in spiritual downfall. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” God is using His creation of the entire universe, verses one through six, the six days of creation, as a backdrop to His statement on verse seven, The law of the Lord is perfect as He reveals to us the perfection of His spiritual principles, so that we can have an understanding of how His spiritual laws work, as we compare them to the physical laws of nature that we understand. Spiritual principles are the spiritual laws that govern the invisible spiritual universe; and the physical laws or principles, govern the visible physical universe. Our understanding of them engenders us with the ability to be transformed in our thinking, they, the spiritual laws, have the power to convert our soul, our spiritual make up, and to make our simple ways of understanding nature into a powerful tool that helps us to understand the invisible qualities of God Himself. Acts 4:13 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.” Everything that Jesus taught revolved around spiritual principles, and He often used parables, simple physical imagery, to portrait how spiritual laws worked. We can see from the verse in the book of Acts the powerful influence that Jesus’ teaching had upon His disciples, they understood spiritual laws/principles, just as well or better than those men educated in matters of the practice and principles of the law itself. What is a spiritual principle and how can we compare it to a physical law of nature? Gravity is a physical law of nature, our discovery of it has helped humanity tremendously to understand how our physical universe works, and most of us have a basic understanding of it. The spiritual counterpart of gravity could be found in our next Scripture verse. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Here we see the connection between spirit and gravity, pride always precedes the fall, now that is a spiritual principle that has a tremendous effect upon our physical world, just like gravity, yet very few understand its workings, because most people do not understand that pride is a spirit. Proverbs 16:19 “Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” We naturally understand that if we jump of a cliff we are going to fall and hurt ourselves, but how many of us know that if we walk in pride we are certain to fall and hurt ourselves. See, you might be spared somehow if you jump off a cliff, because natural laws deviate, but not so with spiritual laws, for they are perfect. There are no trees to cushion your fall in the spiritual realm, your only protection is to reject the spirit of pride and humble yourselves before you fall. But you see, we would do that only if we really believe that pride and gravity have the same effect, they both will cause us to fall, the only difference is that in the physical realm the consequences are sometimes mitigated by other factors, but not so in the spiritual realm, because, once again, God’s spiritual laws are perfect, they never fail. Psalm 19:11-12 “Moreover by them (our understanding of God’s spiritual principles) Your servant is warned, and in keeping them (God’s spiritual principles) there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.” A humbled heart goes a long way into helping us to see ourselves from the proper perspective, and that is where the great reward is, for who can understand his errors, unless someone with a different perspective as theirs points them out to them, but if we walk in the spirit of pride we would never listen. And when we are willing to listen to wise counsel and deal with our known errors in a biblical way, them even our secret faults, God is more than willing to cleanse, because of another spiritual principle that walks hand in hand with those who walk with a humbled heart. Proverbs 3:34 “Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” To walk with a humbled spirit is to walk with God’s grace. How can a metal airplane that weighs tons, loaded with hundreds of passengers, with tanks full of fuel, and hundreds of pieces of luggage on board fly and defy gravity? Because of the law of aerodynamics; for thousands of years humans could not mechanically fly, until the law of aerodynamics was discovered, and now we can even fly into outer space. For thousands of years humans languished under the heaviness of sin, and could not rise above God’s perfect law that declared that the soul that sinned shall surely died and be confined, until the more perfect law of God’s grace was revealed on Calvary’s hill to release mankind from the burden of sin that kept us down. Not everybody flies, and not everybody is saved. Under the natural law not everybody might be able to fly due to physical limitations, but in the perfect spiritual realm of God’s grace, everybody can be saved no matter what their physical limitations might be, because God’s grace is perfectly adequate for all humans to avail themselves with. Right, pure, clean, true and righteous altogether, those are the qualities that the perfect law of God’s grace brings into the soul that understands God’s mercy and makes these qualities of grace its habitation. Psalm 19:8 “The statutes (spiritual principles) of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” The understanding of right begins within the human heart having experienced the power of God’s grace, being humbled by the manifestation of God’s great mercy and forgiveness. Having the right perspective of our standing before God is a humbling experience that opens our eyes to the purity and perfection of Jesus’ sacrifice for us and what He accomplished for the entire human race. Psalm 19:9 “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” The fear of the Lord is having a clear understanding of how spiritual principles work, that they are more real than the physical laws of nature that we dare not violate because we naturally understand the consequences of such violations, that is what keeps us clean. When we understand the judgments or consequences for violating God’s spiritual principles, how true they are, we make every effort to avoid violating them, and that in essence is what makes us to walk in righteousness altogether. Psalm 19:10 “More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” Here we see how the soul is converted by the testimony of the Lord; once we understand the reality of these spiritual laws, we naturally desire them more than any physical thing, more than gold and riches, even more than our necessary food as Job declared about God’s statues. Psalm 19:13 “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.” Assumptions and presumptions: In the natural or physical realm we tend to believe, based on assumptions, that friends will be true, that others can be trusted to work for our betterment, that life will be normal, and if we are young, that old age is something that happens to others, not us. To assume is not a great transgression because when friends betray you, and when others put their own self-interest ahead of yours, and when life treats you like a toilet, and wait until you start getting old, Ha! Ha! All that does is make you stronger if you understand spiritual principles and are living by them. But to presume, now that is a different type of sin, for those who presume on the grace of God, which is spiritual, fall under the dominion of the sin they ignored and presumed would not harm them. So that no matter what we think we know and understand about spiritual principles, it is always desirable to keep a humble heart and an open mind, lest we fall into the sin of presumption and forfeit the grace that sustains us. Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” Now that is great advice, let’s take advantage of it and put it to good use. Amen! Previous Home Next

THE FOUR WAVES The objective of The Four Waves is to unveil the prophetic significance of the spiritual “waves” described in Scripture and confirmed through visions, dreams, and prophetic words. Pastor Marcos seeks to equip believers with discernment regarding the shaking of both heaven and earth, and to encourage the church to remain steadfast in expectation of God’s final outpouring, even amid fear, deception, and world turmoil. < Back THE FOUR WAVES Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of The Four Waves is to unveil the prophetic significance of the spiritual “waves” described in Scripture and confirmed through visions, dreams, and prophetic words. Pastor Marcos seeks to equip believers with discernment regarding the shaking of both heaven and earth, and to encourage the church to remain steadfast in expectation of God’s final outpouring, even amid fear, deception, and world turmoil. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.” If we look at the above verse from an entirely spiritual perspective, we see four places that are mentioned, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth, that will be hit by a great shaking, and this shaking will come in the form of waves. We obviously live here on the earth, but during those days there will be things that are happening in the entire cosmos that will clearly have an effect upon us here on the earth. Luke 21:26 “Men’s hearts failing them from the fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” When our text declares that the powers of the heavens will be shaken, it is clearly referring to both, a physical and a spiritual shaking that will be taking place during those days. Hebrews 12:26 “Whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I shake not only earth, but also heaven.’” The number four is significant here because it includes the entire creation, both physical and spiritual. The spiritual emphasis that I want to deal with in this lesson is revealed to us in the form of waves, like in the waves roaring, that is waves making loud sounds that are audible. If you read some of my works, you know that I believe that there are always four spiritual forces that work together in tandem to bring about the conditions that God requires in order to bring about His desire results in any given physical situation. Like the four horseman of the apocalypse, the four trumpets, the four seals, the four winds and so on. These waves are sometimes revealed to the saints in visions or dreams; now there are common threads that link the different revelations to one another, and there are some very unique and individual aspects of the revelation that apply only to the individuals receiving them. Amos 3:7 “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” In the Old Testament, only certain people were filled with the Holy Spirit. All of the prophets of old were filled with God’s Holy Spirit, since God is Spirit and all His works always begin in the spiritual realm. Those who are filled with His Spirit are in a position to receive the revelation of what God is doing in the spiritual realm that affects us here on the earth. In the New Testament, all the believers are filled with His Holy Spirit, for no one can be born again without being born of the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 12:13 “For by one Spirit we were all baptized (plunged) into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” So that to His church, the body of Christ, revelation is continually flowing corporally from His Spirit that bears witness of what God is presently doing in the spiritual realm. That is why when the Holy Spirit is doing a personal work in us, it seems almost like there is a conspiracy of some sort, for we see the Spirit moving through many different venues to assure us that it is He, and Him alone, not man, who is dealing with us. And when He is revealing things to His church as a whole, many different individuals, oceans apart, will have the basics of the same revelation of what God is doing or is about to do. For that is what Amos says, God will reveal His secrets to His servants, for a testimony to the whole body of believers. My personal experience with dreams of big waves started early in the decade that started in 1990. Previously to my first dream, I do not recall ever hearing about dreams of big waves from anybody. In all four of my dreams that covered a span of several years, there were always two things common on every dream, I knew what cardinal direction I was facing, and I was completely overwhelmed by the size of the waves that were always coming my way. In my first dream, I was facing north while standing on a sidewalk in front of a small country church. I was watching as people were coming out of the church when suddenly a huge massive wave arose from behind the little church. The wave was comprised of water and mud and was coming towards the church from behind. It was moving so fast that I did not even have time to tell the people to turn around and look, I just instinctively crouched behind a small retaining wall in the perimeter of the front lawn. I was so scared that my heart almost stopped, and I remember thinking that I was going to die by breathing in muddy water. I awoke right before the wave hit me and realized that my body was shaking and I was breathing extremely heavy. In the next two or three years I had two more dreams that were just a different version of that first one. On the second dream I was facing east, there was a chain link fence in front of me, when a huge wave rose up, not as muddy as in my first dream, as I crouched down and grabbed the chain link fence, I remember thinking that the impact would probably rip my fingers off, thankfully I awoke again right before it hit me. In the third dream I was facing south when a huge wave rose again as before. The dream of the fourth wave came a couple of years later, I was facing west in the South Bay area of Los Angeles CA, looking at the San Pedro/Palos Verdes hill, when out of the Pacific ocean a huge, more massive wave than any of the others that I had dreamed before rose up. It was made of pure crystal-clear water, and just as beautiful as it was awesome. In this dream I did not fear, I did not crouch, and I didn’t wake up before the wave hit me, for even though I was very scared, I welcome that which was coming my way. The wave went over me and through me with great energy, but I was still standing, and as I looked around, all the houses and buildings were gone, and in their place, pools of living waters were drawing in the weak and the feeble to drink freely of it. In March of 1997, I had the privilege to travel to the Brownsville revival that was taking place in Pensacola Florida. For three marvelous days I witness the power of God moving upon thousands of people that were gathered there for that wonderful experience. We attended the Sunday morning service before we left that day and there was a guess speaker teaching that morning. He spoke about four spiritual waves that would hit from four different directions before the Lord returns for us. Can you just picture my jaw dropping as he started his message? He spoke about a revival that was taking place in Toronto, Canada, as the wave from the north, the revival in Pensacola as being the wave from the east, the revivals that were going on in South America, as the wave from the south, and get this, he spoke about a final outpouring of the Holy Spirit that was yet to come from the west. That was over sixteen years ago, and I knew that it was from the Lord, but as you know, we walk by faith and not by sight. The spiritual decline of the last few years, not only in the churches but in the nations as well, makes it hard for me to see how and where from that final revival that I am so certain, even today, that is going to come. But you know how the Lord works, just when we seem to have forgotten something that at one time seemed very important, the Lord is always there to remind us that His timing is not our timing, and that just because it has not happened yet, that it should be no reason for us to not keep looking up in excitement for what He has promised. A couple of days ago I read a prophecy that was given by a 90 year old woman in Norway, back in 1968, to an evangelist named Emanuel Minos when he came to her town to preach. The evangelist wrote down the prophecy as she told it to him, but he thought that it was so extreme that he kept it in a drawer and forgot about it. This is how her prophecy started: I saw the time just before the coming of Jesus and the outbreak of the Third World War. Then, she mentioned four waves: This is part of what she saw in the first wave: There will be peace between the superpowers in the east and the west, and there will be a long peace. Remember that she spoke this in 1968 while the cold war was raging, and it raged on until 1989. There have been 24 years of peace between the superpowers of the east and west. This is part of what she saw in the second wave: A lukewarmness without parallel will take hold of the Christians, a falling away from true, living Christianity. Christians will not be open for penetrating preaching. They will not, like in earlier times, want to hear of sin and grace, law and gospel, repentance and restoration. There will come a substitute instead: prosperity (happiness) Christianity. Here is part of what she saw in the third wave: People will live together like married without being married...TV will be filled with such horrible violence that it teaches people to murder and destroy each other, and it will be unsafe in our streets. People will copy what they see. This is some of what she saw for the fourth wave: I will not see it, but you will. Then suddenly, Jesus will come and the Third World War breaks out. It will be a short war... All that I have seen of war before is only child’s play compared to this one. I wrote some of what she saw in her vision and some of what I saw in my dreams, to show those of you that might have experienced something like what she or I’ve experienced, that even though our perspectives differ greatly, there is a common thread that unites the flow of the revelations. In her case she saw peace in the first wave, when the first seal was opened after Jesus rose from the dead, the spirit of antichrist was released which is still very much at work today to bring forth a false peace. In my first wave I saw extremely polluted waters/doctrine sneaking behind the church. That explains why in her second wave she saw unparallel lukewarmness and a falling away from true living Christianity, for they are the results of demonic doctrines introduced to the church. But the key point that I want to emphasize is in the fourth wave, for that is when the powers of the heavens are shaken, and the Lord is revealed, and from her perspective she saw the start of World War Three. Now let me show you two different perspectives from Scripture about that same event. Revelation 6:12-17 “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake (in the earth); and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon (remember our opening text) became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free men, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” From this perspective we see that the land of Israel has been invaded by an army of a confederacy that's lead by Gog, of the land of Magog, from the uttermost north, according to Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. Most of the people that you see running for the bomb shelters in Revelation chapter six are about to be wiped out by the wrath of the Lamb as He returns to show Himself holy before the nations of the world, and to save the people and the nation of Israel from sure destruction. Acts 2:19-21 “I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” From Joel’s perspective, whom Peter quotes in Acts, we see that those who witness the supernatural destruction of this mighty army that has invaded Israel, will realize that the Lamb is real and that His judgments are true, and they will have an opportunity to repent before the great day of His wrath begins. One way to see the fourth wave is as that of the beginning of a war that will end the world as we know it. Another way is to see it as an opportunity for as many people as possible to call upon the name of the Lord and be delivered out of this world before the wrath of God is unleashed upon it, and its destruction made certain. I know that in my dream I did not fear the immensity of the fourth wave, for it brought with it a crystal-clear living waters for the purification of the soul, and it was made available to all those who were feeble and weak in body. Those who fear and partake of the Word of the Lord now, will not be afraid in the day when His fullness is revealed to them. If only the scoffers would repent before that day catches up to them. Revelation 22:1 “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” Previous Home Next

IT IS THE ANOINTING OIL THAT BREAKS THE YOKE To teach believers the biblical power and mystery of the anointing oil, showing how it breaks spiritual yokes, provides divine protection, and establishes God’s peace and presence over individuals, families, properties, and even cities. The lesson aims to equip Christians with understanding and practical applications of anointing oil as a tool for deliverance, healing, and sanctification in their walk with God. < Back IT IS THE ANOINTING OIL THAT BREAKS THE YOKE Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To teach believers the biblical power and mystery of the anointing oil, showing how it breaks spiritual yokes, provides divine protection, and establishes God’s peace and presence over individuals, families, properties, and even cities. The lesson aims to equip Christians with understanding and practical applications of anointing oil as a tool for deliverance, healing, and sanctification in their walk with God. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Zechariah 2:5 “For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.” The ministry of anointing with oil is one of the most mysterious things that we can find in the Bible, yet it is one of the most powerful. The anointing oil can be applied to kings, to priests, to sacraments, to places, and as we see in our opening text, to cities as well. In the case of Jerusalem, we cannot see it with our carnal eyes, but God has anointed that city and if we could look through the eyes of the Spirit, we would see the anointing that covers Jerusalem as a wall of fire that surrounds her and covers her with God’s mighty protection. Isaiah 10:27 “It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” But more important of all, as far as we humans are concern, the anointing with oil has the power to deliver us from the burden of transgression and the yoke of slavery to sin. James 5:14-15 “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” What is the mystery of the anointing with oil besides what might be obvious to us? I spent many a times praying for people who were in need of deliverance from demonic strongholds, and one of the many things that I learned in my dealings with those oppressive demonic entities, was how demons perceive humanity and our physical realm from their underworld perspective, we need to remember that they live in a totally different dimension than we do. I believe that when demons look at us humans what they mainly see is an aura around us that may differ in intensity as well as in color, and that is how they perceive the human condition. Since we humans are two thirds spirit and one third human, for we are made of spirit, soul, and body, what demons mainly see when they look at us, is our own spiritual orb that surround us. So that if we are walking under Christ’s anointing, and since Christ means Anointed One, when a demon looks at us under the anointing, they cannot tell whether it is us or Jesus Christ who they are facing. Luke 10:19-20 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions (demonic entities), and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.” I believe that what Jesus is teaching us in Luke 10 is that as born-again believers, born again means to be born of the Spirit of God, there is an aura around us that all spirits recognize and that they must submit to. In other words, Jesus is telling us not to rejoice in the fact that we have power over the demonic spirits, but rather, that we rejoice in the anointing that is over us and that covers us, because of our position in the spiritual realm due to the Anointed One dwelling in us through His Spirit. Psalm 105:15 “Saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.’” So that there is a de-facto anointing that personally covers all born again believers and that all demonic entities must recognize. But the ministry of the anointing with oil varies greatly and the greater our understanding of how it works the more powerful and effective that we can become in our ministries, and the better that we can protect ourselves, our families, and our properties from the evil one. Let us take a look at a few of the many applications of the anointing with oil. Let us begin with the anointing for peace. Jeremiah 29:7 “And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.” One thing that I do recommend for churches to do, and individual believers as well, is to take oil and anoint the places where your city begins and ends, what the Bible calls the city gates or entrances. The way that we did it in the past is to go east and west, and north and south of the city, and pour anointing oil on the entrances of our city and pray for God’s anointing of peace to dwell in that city where we live. Then we proceed to anoint our property lines, by pouring anointing oil all around the perimeter of what we own or rent, the place where we live, and we pray for God’s protection over it and ask for His peace to abide there as well. Why is that important? Romans 8:21 “Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Since we, the children of God, are walking under the liberating covering of God’s anointing that preserves us from the corruption of this world, we can proclaim liberty over the part of the creation that we do occupy. How does that work, spiritually speaking? 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks (roams) about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Since wicked spirits tune in to areas that emanate gloominess and darkness, where spiritual disorder and chaos reigns, and since they roam about looking for innocent victims that they can lure into their traps without repercussions, it is important for the believers that inhabit those areas to anoint with oil those same areas that they occupy. Spirits can instantly discern the places where believers have prayed for God’s peace to reign, and if they anointed the places where they prayed with oil, that anointing oil in the spiritual realm, shines like a mighty fire from God that warns those malevolent sprits to watch out, for there is swift retribution coming their way if they trespass over the anointing that covers those areas that believers have placed under their anointing. Is the same for our homes, where we have anointed our boundaries with anointing oil, for it will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst. We are also to anoint our home with oil both inside and out, now why do we need to do that? Deuteronomy 23:14 “For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.” Just like the anointing oil shines in the spiritual realm to drive away predators, it also serves as a welcome sign for God’s holy angels that also move around the earth to do God’s bidding. But even more precious than that, God takes pleasure in walking is our midst during our times of repose, and a home or a room where the anointing oil has been placed indicates to our Lord that this place has been reserved for His presence, and that He is always welcome there. And then we are also to anoint ourselves personally as a sign of gratitude before the Lord, to show not only to ourselves, but to show others as well, and to show God Himself, that we will always belong to Him, our entire person, spirit soul and body are His habitation. Isaiah 65:16 “So that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes.” What is it in us that is hidden from God’s eyes? And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. The true anointing, for that is what we bless ourselves with while here in the earth, covers all of our infirmities and sins, the burden of sin and the yoke of oppression that is still in our mortal flesh and are driven away by the anointing oil that we bless ourselves with. Mark 6:13 “And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.” The anointing oil preserves us until the day of redemption. Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” Jesus the Anointed One walked about doing good and searching for those who were oppressed by the devil, and then He set them all free, for God was with Him. 2 Corinthians 1:21 “Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God.” The same God that anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power to drive out all the workers of iniquity, is the same God that has anointed us in Jesus Christ His anointed One in order for us to drive out all the workers of iniquity in our sphere of influence as well. And it is through the power of His anointing oil that the yoke will be destroyed. Pray as to what type of oil the Lord wants you to use, I usually get extra virgin olive oil which I can buy in the market and is not too expensive for me, but you can use whatever is available to you and that you believe it is acceptable before God. Get the oil, bring it before the Lord and ask Him to bless it, after it is blessed do not use that consecrated oil for nothing else but for anointing purposes. Previous Home Next

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize and apply the spiritual authority of their words. By aligning their speech with God’s Word, Christians can overcome negative influences such as depression, sickness, and fear, and instead walk in victory, joy, and confidence as more than conquerors through Christ. < Back THE POWER OF THE TONGUE Minister Lisa Kane Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize and apply the spiritual authority of their words. By aligning their speech with God’s Word, Christians can overcome negative influences such as depression, sickness, and fear, and instead walk in victory, joy, and confidence as more than conquerors through Christ. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Proverbs 18:21 New King James Version (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. I used to battle depression many years ago, but I overcame it by using the power of the tongue. This is what I did: First, it took me a few weeks to figure out what was wrong with me because I didn’t know. All I knew is that I was mean to everyone around me and I didn’t want to do anything. It was so out of character for me that I began asking God what was wrong with me. Then it hit me. God showed me that I was dealing with a spirit of depression. Once I knew what was wrong, I told my husband I was going to spend time in prayer and went to my bedroom. And this is what I said out loud, “Depression, you’re not welcomed here. Go away and leave me alone.” And then I asked God to forgive me and to help me overcome this spirit. I kept praying and telling depression to get lost for several hours. I eventually went to bed that way. I kept up the words in my mind, but I laid down and finally fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up extremely achy, but I had a smile on my face. I realized that was the best I had felt in a while. Depression was gone and I began walking in joy from that day on. Every once a while depression would try to sneak up on me but guess what, I would remind it that it wasn’t welcomed as part of my life and it would go away. This tactic wasn’t something I read or heard about. It was just something I did as I was praying to God. However, Proverbs 18:21 is so true. The power of the tongue is mighty, and you need to ask yourself, ‘what am I telling myself daily’? Are you telling yourself you’re sick? Are you telling yourself you're tired? Are you telling yourself you’re poor? Are you telling yourself you’re in pain? If I were you, I suggest telling yourself what a great person you are in the Lord and begin acting on it. The sick, tired, poor, and pain will line up according to your words. And if you’re really dealing with some serious spirits, go spend time in God’s presence in your home and tell them to get lost. You have a mighty tongue and are more than a conqueror. Romans 8:37 New King James Version (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Previous Home Next

THE FOUL SPIRIT OF HATE The objective of The Foul Spirit of Hate is to equip believers with biblical understanding and discernment to recognize the destructive influence of hatred as a foul spirit. Pastor Marcos seeks to help readers understand how unclean spirits influence human emotions and behavior, and how to resist their control by standing firm in the Word of God, walking in love, and cultivating a sound mind through the Spirit of Christ. < Back THE FOUL SPIRIT OF HATE Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of The Foul Spirit of Hate is to equip believers with biblical understanding and discernment to recognize the destructive influence of hatred as a foul spirit. Pastor Marcos seeks to help readers understand how unclean spirits influence human emotions and behavior, and how to resist their control by standing firm in the Word of God, walking in love, and cultivating a sound mind through the Spirit of Christ. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Revelation 18:2 “And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, ‘Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!’” If there is a word that conjures up strong emotions when spoken, it has to be the word hate. I can even picture a human face contorting as it utters that word. It is almost like one cannot even say the words, I hate you, without the display of an outburst of emotions attached to them. Since spirits manifest themselves as influences through persons, it is only natural that a spirit of hate would manifest itself through a person with such a display of emotion. I guess I should explain how I believe unclean spirits operate through persons, for those of you reading this that may not have heard of this teaching before, so that we can all be on the same page, here it is. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” As you may know, the New Testament was written in the Greek language which has a lot more words to express meaning and sentiment than the English language does. Every now and then we have to look at Scriptures as they were written in the original language to get the full meaning of what is teaching. This is one of those cases. In the original Greek, the word translated spirit is the word: Pnyoomah: # 4151 in Strong’s concordance, and it means Breath, as in a blast or a current of air and is translated as the word spirit. For in the Greek, spirits are referred to as breath or air, but in this case it refers to a specific form of breath, a blast or a current of air. Pnyoomah is the Greek word from where we get the term pneumatic as in pneumatic tools, which are tools that run on blast or currents of air. In the original Greek, the word translated soul is the word: Phookhay: # 5590 in Strong’s concordance, and it also means Breath, but by implication, static air, and is translated as the word soul. To get a better understanding of how the spirit and the soul work together to give us our personality, let us go to the first created human. Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man (the physical body) of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath (the human spirit) of life; and man became a living being (soul, personhood).” If we want to understand how spirits can move the physical body, here is what I believe are the mechanics of how it works: The human spirit is like the energy, the blast or the current of energy like in a pneumatic tool, that moves the soul, that in turn gives to us our personalities, the person that we become. The human spirit is not self-sufficient, so it has to derive energy from sources outside of itself. Our spirit man was originally designed to receive energy from the Word of God and derive its human personality from it, that is to drive the soul into becoming what the Word of God intended for that person to be. Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living (Zoe in the Greek, and it means life giving and life sustaining) and powerful (Energea in the Greek, and it means moving energy)…” Take for example the word influence, it describes the spiritual inflow that motivates people to do things, an influence is a spirit, and if the influence contradicts the Word of God, is an unclean spirit. Another example is the word inspire, when a person dies, that person expired, it means the spirit of life left them. When a person is inspired, it is a spirit who is doing the inspiration, and if such inspiration contradicts the Word of God, it is also designated as an unclean spirit. Now we were all born after the flesh, so like Adam we all have the propensities within us to fear and to doubt, and to feel shame and nakedness because of our sinful natures. But in the new birth we become a new creation, a brand-new creature. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” We are not beholden to the old nature any longer. But we still have to make a choice, and it has to do with which spirits are we going to allow to influence us, and are we going to filter those influences through the sift of the Word of God. Here is another example; as new creatures in Christ, all of our sins have been forgiven, we are not to walk in the fear of eternal torment any longer, but in the power of God’s love for us, and rejoice that in Christ, we have the mind of Christ, which is a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Now that we understand the process let us shift our attention to the spirit of hate, which is the culprit for the majority of the chaos going on around the world today. For hatred is the strongman of these last days. I believe that the three most powerful human emotions are: Love, hate, and fear. According to Paul God has not given us the spirit of fear, but He has indeed given to us His Spirit of love. However, the spirit of a sound mind is necessary to keep us from falling prey to the foul spirit of hate, especially in these last days. Harboring the spirit of hatred can lead to the insurrection of the soul. Psalm 64:2 “Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity.” KJV Insurrection is revolt from within, and since the workers of iniquity still reside within our souls which are still in the process of salvation, what it means is that our human nature can be led into rebelling against the commandments that flow from God into our spirit man. Just like the love of God nullifies the spirit of fear, the spirit of a sound mind can help us put away the spirit of hatred. First let us identify which type of hatred we are dealing with as the Day of our redemption draws near. Psalm 25:19 “Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel (violent) hatred.” All you have to do to know that this is the type of hatred that we are dealing with today, just search the news and see how many believers are beheaded, tortured, burned alive, and struck down for their faith in Jesus Christ all around the world on a daily basis. In the more civilized parts of the world, where still some common sense restrains it, the violence from this spirit of hatred is more verbal in nature, but the sentiments are the same. If you are a believer in the morality that the Word of God commands for societies to follow, you are considered the scum of the earth, and it won’t be long before this sprit of hatred rears its nature of violence against those of us who believe here in the western nations as well. What feeds this spirit of cruel hatred is the spirit of division that is continuously propagated by the mediums of today, the news organizations that do not barter in the truth that they were originally established to proclaim, but rather in incitement and propaganda against the dictates of God’s Word. Ezekiel 25:15 “...Took vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy (through violent means) because of the old hatred (perpetual).” I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but all the hatred that is being fomented right now by many, has its roots in old hatred, that is, they are trying to revive past grievances, but in reality it is nothing more than Satan’s perpetual hatred against those of us who belong to God. Proverbs 10:12 “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.” Now the reason I am bringing all these things up is to warn you, and to keep you from falling into the demonic trap of repaying evil with evil. As I look at what is happening from a spiritual perspective, the devil is playing mankind as a well-rehearsed orchestra. Everything out there is designed to bring up strife within the hearts of people with common sense. I see the frustration that many are having to endure, for it seems that what is evil and destructive has become the acceptable norm, and what is sound and good judgment is ridiculed. But we need to keep in mind that what they are doing, they are doing it purposely, they do not need to convince those who have swallow their lies hook line and sinker to follow in their destructive ways. It is us that need to be neutralized, from their point of view that is, those of us who believe in the power of God’s love to inspire and to motivate our actions. And the way to neutralize us is to have us fall for the tricks of the cruel spirit of hatred and become like them. Proverbs 13:21 “Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous, good shall be repaid.” Please my friends I know that it is not easy, not to become upset over the lies and the deception that they seem to be getting away with these days, without seemly any repercussions, let God deal with their actions. Make every effort not to get caught up in their web of cruel hatred and bad intentions. Let God’s love fill us with His peace, and deliver us from the snares of the wicked one. Let not our hearts backslide from His love. Proverbs 14:14 “The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above.” Previous Home Next

THE SIN OF SEPARATION The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize how iniquities separate them from God, understand the generational roots of inherited sin, and embrace the covenant of salvation in Christ that breaks these strongholds. It emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to walk in their new nature through prayer, fasting, and self-denial so that their relationship with God is restored, their prayers are heard, and they bear the fruit of the Spirit. < Back THE SIN OF SEPARATION Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize how iniquities separate them from God, understand the generational roots of inherited sin, and embrace the covenant of salvation in Christ that breaks these strongholds. It emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to walk in their new nature through prayer, fasting, and self-denial so that their relationship with God is restored, their prayers are heard, and they bear the fruit of the Spirit. Synopsis: 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. Written teaching: Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” How do sincere Christians know if their relationship with God is in a estate of separation? For if our relationship with God is estranged, no matter how hard we pray, we can be certain that He will not hear us. In our opening text we are told that iniquities are the culprits. Not only in separating us from God, but also the reason that we continue to sin in a matter that causes God to hide His face from us, so that we will not be the recipients of God’s answers to our prayers anytime soon. The problem with iniquity is that in many instances they were transferred to us through our genetic code. That means that many of us were born with character flaws, physical flaws, and weaknesses, that predisposed us to struggle with certain sins and ailments in our lives. Since we know who the culprit is, let us take a Scriptural look at how iniquities work, so that we can figure out how to get rid of them. Exodus 20:5 “You shall not bow to them nor serve them (idols). For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me.” All of us are the product of two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents and sixteen great-great-grandparents, if we go four generations back. If any of those thirty people in our immediate lineage practiced idolatry, their act of hatred towards God opened the door within our family line to be afflicted with the consequences of their iniquitous sin. We could say that iniquity is our inherited predisposition to sin, and we can take that one all the way back to Adam. We may think, well that it is not fair, for us to be born with such a burden of sin, a sin that we did not even take part in, but from God’s point of view we see a different trade off if you will. Exodus 20:6 “But showing mercy to thousands (of generations), to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Salvation is a covenant, and once we enter into the covenant of salvation that Jesus mediated for us, we guarantee that our seed will be part of the covenant of salvation forever, long after we’ve been gone. Acts 3:25-26 “You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ To you first, God, having raised up His servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your iniquities.” And the way that God turned away our iniquities from us, was by transforming our sinful nature, that in the natural resembles the first Adam who was made after the flesh, to be conformed to the image of the last Adam, Jesus Christ our Lord, through the born again experience, who came to bless us with His incorruptible nature. 1 Corinthians 15:22 “For as in Adam all died, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” The covenant for us who are in Christ Jesus is this, we have become partakers of the divine nature of Jesus, we are part of His body. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” But just like with every covenant, there are actions that are required of those who are under the covenant, in order for them to possess the benefits that are stipulated within the covenant and make it theirs. Colossians 3:1-2, 5 “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth...Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” Yes, we have a new nature, but we still have the old nature as well, the nature that contains all the iniquities that it had inherited through the sins of idolatry committed by our ancestors, and we are commanded to put those contaminated things that remain within our flesh to death. Matthew 17:21 “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” After His disciples failed to cure a boy who suffered from epileptic seizures, Jesus told them that their failure was due to their unbelief, or lack of faith. He told them that if they dare to believe, that with the power of faith they would be able to move mountains and that nothing would be impossible for them. Then Jesus added, within the context of His disciples needing more faith, that prayer and fasting were a requirement as well, in order for them to remove the demonic stronghold that they had failed to dislodge. Fasting has to do with denying the flesh that still bears the image of the first Adam, in other words we need to be operating within the realm of self-control instead of selfish-ambitions. Prayer has to do with asking for the revelation knowledge that they lacked while dealing with the situation that they had failed to resolve. Let’s take a closer look and see what we can learn from it. It was a father and son situation, a boy who probably suffered from these seizures since early childhood, so that his infirmity had to be the result of iniquity that he had inherited. It is not by coincidence that the number seventeen is found in relation to both the story recorded in Matthew chapter seventeen, and in verse seventeen of 2 Corinthians 5, where we are told of our new nature. So that the number seventeen is the key that connects both the old and the new nature. The number seventeen is the seventh prime number, seven is the number of perfection; and it is in verse twenty-one, 3 X 7 = 21 of Matthew 17: where we are given the key by Jesus about praying and fasting to completely remove the strongholds of iniquity from all three, spirit, soul, and body. Seventeen is also the sum of our sixteen great-great-grandparents and us. So that in the four generations we find the number sixteen at their foundation, and we ourselves sit as number one on the top of this fleshly pyramid of our four generations ancestry. That means that iniquity has a number and so does our new nature. When we multiply the number seventeen which is the number of the flesh according to: Galatians 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery (1), fornication (2), uncleanness (3), lewdness (4), idolatry (5), sorcery (6), hatred (7), contentions (8), jealousies (9), outbursts of wrath (10), selfish ambitions (11), dissentions (12), heresies (13), envy (14), murders (15), drunkenness (16), revelries (17), and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things will not inherit (the promises of deliverance from iniquity) the kingdom of God.” By the number nine, which is the number of spiritual fruit: Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love (1), joy (2), peace (3), longsuffering (4), kindness (5), goodness (6), faithfulness (7), gentleness (8), self-control (9). Against such there is no law (the law that visits iniquity from the fathers to their children is abolished).” We come up with the number that classifies us as children of God’s new nature: 17 X 9 = 153. John 21:11 “Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.” The number 153 is the numerical value for the Hebrew phrase sons of Elohim, the enlightened sons of God, which encompasses all of the redeemed from all of the ages. We are already children of God, heirs of His promises, so what is the common denominator here? Romans 8:17 “And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed (acts prompted by our faith, like fasting and praying) we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.” Are you surprised that the answer is found in a verse of Scripture that has been assigned with the number seventeen as well? Here is the key, acts of selfish ambitions are always the works of the flesh, and along with the works of the flesh are the workings of iniquity manifested. Spiritual fruit flows out of a heart of love that wants to fulfill the law of Christ, that is, it desires to walk under the power of self-control. Fasting has to do with a lot more than just not eating, it has to do with depriving the flesh of its wantonness. Self-denial can be attained through honest prayer, for when the human heart appears before the presence of God humbled and broken, in the spirit of contrition, God always attends to its needs, and there is where a true converting of the soul takes place, in the secret place of the broken heart. Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” Previous Home Next

The Power of the Benediction The Power of the Benediction equips believers with biblical insight into the authority of spoken words, showing how blessings and curses shape lives. Pastor Marcos guides readers to break free from generational strongholds, release God’s promises, and walk in Christ’s redemptive power—using benedictions as tools of healing, restoration, and divine alignment. The Power of the Benediction Pastor Marcos Marrero October 30, 2023 The Power of the Benediction Objective: The Power of the Benediction equips believers with biblical insight into the authority of spoken words, showing how blessings and curses shape lives. Pastor Marcos guides readers to break free from generational strongholds, release God’s promises, and walk in Christ’s redemptive power—using benedictions as tools of healing, restoration, and divine alignment. Synopsis: The Power of the Benediction by Pastor Marcos Marrero is a deep exploration of the spiritual force of spoken words—particularly blessings and curses—and their impact on human life. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Marcos reveals that just as God created the universe through His spoken Word, believers are entrusted with the authority to speak life, healing, and transformation into existence. The book explains how blessings (benedictions) carry divine power to shape reality, break generational curses, restore what was lost, and align believers with God’s purposes. Pastor Marcos highlights principles such as the Cohesiveness Principle, the Mechanics of the Benediction, and the importance of rejecting negative words while embracing God’s promises. He also addresses how spoken blessings can alter not only present circumstances but even the effects of the past, illustrating the timeless power of God’s Word. Through biblical teaching, practical prayers, and prophetic insights, The Power of the Benediction equips readers to recognize their God-given authority, to use words responsibly, and to walk in the fullness of God’s blessings for themselves, their families, and their communities. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: THE POWER OF THE BENEDICTION Leviticus 9:23 "And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people." We are living in the age of power, since the industrial revolution took place. It seems that machines just keep getting bigger and more powerful. It is amazing to see the great wonders that human engineering has accomplished, not only in size and power, but also in scope and complexity. We have machines that can strip and remove entire mountains, and machines that can tunnel under the mountains, even under the sea to connect land masses. We even have machines so delicate that they can do surgery on a human body. They are even coming out with machines that can read our thought patterns. But the most powerful force in the entire universe is not generated by steam, electricity, or even man's ability to harness nature's wonders. The most powerful force in the universe resides in the words that come out of the human mouth. How can that be possible you may ask? Let me ask you this, what was the power source employed to create the entire universe? It was Words! Uni—Verse! “Let there be light—energy!” Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." According to science, everything that exists in the universe came into being through the release of a tremendous amount of energy that came out of nothing that was visible; but they do not know what caused that energy to be released, but the Bible emphatically tells us that it was the spoken Word of God. Genesis 1:3 "Then God said, 'Let there be light (energy)'; and there was light." (Parenthesis and bold added by me for emphasis unless otherwise stated.) The earth, or that which is tangible, was without form and void. That is it could not be ascertained, measured, or comprehended, for it was darkness from the face of the deep, and it took the spoken Word of God to give it form and to bring it into our physical reality. Thereby clearly setting the principle; it takes words to bring forth that which does not exist into our physical realm. Words of faith in the principle that God has clearly established when He created the entire universe. John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (the Word) was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him (the Word), and without Him nothing was made that was made." Everything that now exists came into being by the spoken Word of God that we can better grasp the personality of the Word that created everything. The Word became flesh Himself in human form and interacted with His created humans to let us know about this principle that not only created everything out of nothing, but also continues to sustain the creation as well. John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." What that means is that the power that created everything that now exists, resides in a human physical body that demonstrated the power of His spoken words in both His natural body before He died and was resurrected from the dead, as well as in His resurrected glorified body that now sits in heaven at the right hand of God interceding for us. When we speak His Word, we too can bring about the creative force that makes physically real that which in the natural does not yet exist. Colossians 1:15 "He (Jesus, the Word that became flesh) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." What that means is that Jesus is our new prototype, just like in our natural birth we all inherited Adam's fallen nature in our new born again experience we all become partakers of the divine nature of Jesus, who is the last Adam. 2 Peter 1:3-4 "As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises (words), that through these (words) you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." If we know Him who created everything through His spoken Word, and if we understand that through His spoken promises to us we can be partakers of the divine nature that is able to create something out of nothing, then we can surely understand why Peter calls them great and precious promises. John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." Jesus doubles down and clear as day tells us that those of us who believe in Him become partakers of His divine nature. Therefore, we are able to do the same creative works that He did—and not only that—even greater works will be possible for those who believe because He is next to our Father in heaven interceding for us. Since the power that created and continuously sustains everything that resides in the Word, and since we are now one with The Word that became flesh, Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, then it becomes very important for us to know what that power is, how it functions, and what our responsibilities and calling are in regards to how we are to administer that power that has been vested in us who believe. Hebrews 5:11, 14 "Of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing...But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." The of whom, is Jesus, The Word who created everything and who became flesh, and the hard to explain part is about the creative power that we have inherited in Him through His divine nature. It is hard to explain because of us having ears that do not want to hear because it does not come natural to our senses that words can be so powerfully creative. But the Lord wants to train us in how to utilize this tremendously creative force, that by reason of use we can make our senses to discern the importance of this gift and our responsibilities to it. For as we become able to discern between good and evil, God is able to use our words as a mighty weapon for the benefit of mankind. In this book we will put our emphasis in the impact that both blessing and cursing words have upon humanity as a whole, and on individuals in particular. We will explore the mechanics of how and why, and what our responsibilities are as we mature in our understanding of this creative process. THE COHESIVENESS PRINCIPLE Ephesians 4:15-16 "But, speaking the truth (God's Word) in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." The first thing to notice is that in both, Hebrews chapter five, and here in Ephesians four, the theme is the maturity of the body of Christ. Hebrews 5:14 uses the words full of age, Ephesians 4:13 uses the words a perfect man. And in both cases the maturity of the body depends on how well connected that particular part of the body is to the head, that is, to Jesus Christ the Word that became flesh. Since we are dealing here with principles that transcend our humanity, let us take a look at the big picture first, before we apply it to the personal level. Colossians 1:17 "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together." KJV Let's go big here; by in Him all things hold together, Paul means the entire universe; which makes sense, since the entire universe was created by Him. Whatever thing there is that exists, was not only created by Him, The Word that became flesh, it also sustained and kept together by Him, God's Word; be it things that are visible or of the invisible things that He also created! Colossians 1:16 "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." Here is the foundational principle that we need to understand. If all things that exist were created and are sustained by the Word of God, whether visible or invisible, personalities or principalities, then they can either be undone or augmented by the same force of words that formed them and that sustains them! Through the process of speaking the truth in love, that is why love and maturity are required. We do not want to go around undoing or changing things that we do not understand. You do not want to go into the control room of a nuclear reactor plant and start pushing buttons and pulling levels just to see what they do, do you? Of course not! It is the same when we handle the creative power of the Word of God. Colossians 1:10 "That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God." Now to the personal level, whether we know it or not, our daily lives are impacted negatively by words that have been spoken against us personally, against our race, national origin, against our religion, against our culture, or a combination of things. To walk worthy of the Lord and to fully please Him we need to nullify those cursing words, but first we need to know what they are and where they came from. Here is a fact worth knowing, all authorities derive their power to rule from the dictates of words. That is what jurisdiction means. Jurist means law and diction means words and that is the law of the spoken word that all those who rule must follow, as well as all created things.

Manual for Personal Ministry Pastor Marcos Marrero October 2, 2023 Manual for Personal Ministry Objective: The objective of Manual for Personal Ministry is to equip Christians with a clear, biblical foundation for personal and spiritual ministry. It seeks to train believers to first apply God’s Word in their own lives, and then minister effectively to others through healing, deliverance, reconciliation, and service. By teaching how to walk in the authority of Christ, overcome spiritual strongholds, and embody compassion, the manual aims to develop faithful servants who carry out the Great Commission with integrity, endurance, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: In Manual for Personal Ministry, Pastor Marcos Marrero equips believers with biblical principles and practical tools for serving others in the name of Christ. Rooted in the Great Commission and the ministry of reconciliation, this guide emphasizes that true ministry begins with personal transformation before extending outward to others. The manual outlines the essential call to “heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons,” showing how these commands symbolize spiritual restoration, deliverance, and empowerment. Through scripture-based teaching, Pastor Marcos explains the foundation of ministry—self-examination, forgiveness, overcoming generational iniquities, and walking in the authority of Christ. At its heart, the book stresses that ministry is service, not obligation. Believers are called to freely give what they have freely received, becoming vessels of God’s compassion and power. With clarity and conviction, Pastor Marcos presents a roadmap for spiritual healing, breaking curses, resisting the enemy, and faithfully enduring trials. The manual closes with an encouraging reminder that God refines His children through testing so that their ministry may bring lasting fruit and glory to Christ. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: Introduction Minister: To give aid: Serve. This manual is designed to teach Christian ministers how to give aid to those in need, and to provide the tools necessary to properly administer the biblical principles of becoming a servant as recorded by Matthew. Matthew 28:1920 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” And viewed from the ambassadorship angle, since we are emissaries of His peace. 2 Corinthians 5:18 “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:” NIV The principles that we will teach here are to apply first to oneself because you cannot give that which you do not possess, and then to others. Once you have received the Lord’s aid, then the Lord will bring to you those in need for you to aid. Here is a basic but powerful outline of the ministry to which we are called. Matthew 10:8 “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Heal the Sick 3 John 2 “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” True healing begins from within, as we mature in spiritual health, our physical bodies will manifest outwardly that spiritual health within us. That health emanates from our spirit being led by the Holy Spirit and it will be projected outward toward those who are in need and seek our counsel. We give of that which has been given to us. James 5:1416 “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” The process is twofold: Salvation that leads to deliverance (from sins and its consequences) and then restoration of sanity to the mind that brings the outward manifestation of physical healing and the restoration of the body. An elder is one who has maturity in the Word of God and has experienced personally many of the needs of those who come to him/her for help. Their experience in the Word of God has brought to them deliverances and victories over time, and they are able to testify of the faithfulness of the Word of God to those who faithfully endure and conquer in the battle of faith. So that when they counsel others of their need to let go of the things of the world that hinder their deliverance, they can speak with a forceful anointing that points them not to us, but rather to the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:810 “Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” Cleanse the Lepers Exodus 4:67 “Furthermore the LORD said to him, ‘Now put your hand in your bosom.’ And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow. And He said, ‘Put your hand in your bosom again.’ So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh.” Leprosy is a type of our sinful nature and is always lurking within us. As Moses was being called to his ministry, he was made very much aware that it wasn’t his righteousness that he was called to proclaim, but God’s. A minister is but a simple vessel that channels the divine anointing which is being poured upon him/her. 2 Peter 1:511 “But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge selfcontrol, to selfcontrol perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” The message that Peter is saying is very simple: As we work faithfully to receive the knowledge and virtue of self-control through perseverance in our pursuit of godliness, not for the purpose of flaunting our “righteousness” but for the goal of brotherly kindness; being able to help others overcome in their struggles. As we begin to abound in those spiritual qualities, we will not be barren nor unfruitful. But furthermore, an entrance will be supplied to the one seeking those spiritual qualities into the everlasting kingdom: this door is the ministry of deliverance into which our Savior calls us as part of our Christian ministry. Raise the Dead Ephesians 2:1 “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.” When Paul preached, he preached Christ crucified. The simplicity of the Gospel is so amazing that we have the tendency to make it look harder, but it’s not! We were dead and on our way to hell, when we heard the Gospel we responded yes, and now we are alive and on our way to heaven. And our new life has a definite impact on those around us of which we are to take advantage of for Christ’s sake. John 11:2526 “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?’” We have the tendency to accept the notion that if some ministry or minister has raised people from physical death, that their ministry is a great miracle working ministry and thereby superior to other ministries. But in reality, every single time that a sinner repents at the preaching or teaching of the Word of God they are raised from the dead. If you raise someone from the dead who was not saved, and afterward they do not get saved, they will die again. However, one converted sinner who truly repents will never die again. So, tell me, which ministry is greater? Though the raising of someone from the dead is a sign of a great apostolic anointing upon the ministry or minister, it should not detract us from serving God by thinking of our work for the Kingdom of God as inferior. For indeed God knows the afflictions that His children suffer, and He takes great pleasure when one of His saints takes upon himself/herself the mantel of our Lord’s compassion and ministers to the needs of others, no matter how menial or insignificant their work may seem to the world. For to our Lord the rescue and comfort of one of His least known or deserving little ones is as important as the deliverance of one of His mighty saints. Hebrews 4:1416 “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Drive out Demons Exodus 4:25 “So the LORD said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ He said, ‘A rod.’ And He said, ‘Cast it on the ground.’ So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Reach out your hand and take it by the tail’ (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), that they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” (parenthesis not added by me) Jesus the last Adam restored the dominion back to man that the first Adam lost when he failed to trust the Word of the Lord. Jesus demonstrated His power over the devil by destroying all of his works: 1 John 3:8 “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” Then He said to us to follow His example and do what He did: Mark 16:17 “…In My name they will cast out demons…” The rod in Moses’ hand represented the authority of God’s Name and of His Word: the Hebrew letters that spell God’s Name, Jehovah: Yod Hay Vav Hay; the Yod represents the hand, the Vav represents the rod or hook which connects the promises of God represented by the Hay twice; for the promises of God are Yes and Amen! Moses was to execute God’s power over God’s enemies in the authority of God’s Name and of His Word. Just as it is for us today in Jesus Name and in accordance to His Word. Freely Give Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Ministry is service, not slavery. One of the tricks of the enemy is to tie down a minister under a load of obligations and maybe fear of what would happen to those he or she is currently ministering to, if he or she were to move on to where the Holy Spirit is now leading them to. We are just vessels. Let’s not forget; we must be under the flowing in order to emanate. As with Moses, when the cloud moved, they simply followed; so, it is with us in ministry. It is His ministry not ours! The Foundation The first layer in the foundation to minister is found in: 2 Corinthians 13:56 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in youunless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.” NIV Here's where you can purchase this book of this book is published: Amazon Barnes & Noble Xulon Press Book Found Here Previous Next Home

Between My Prayer and His Answer The objective of Between My Prayer and His Answer is to encourage believers to seek God boldly, ask Him anything with confidence, and faithfully document the journey of seeking, waiting, and receiving. Between My Prayer and His Answer equips readers to pursue God intentionally, trust Him in the process, and recognize His voice and movement as He responds to those who diligently seek Him. Between My Prayer and His Answer Lisa Kane February 16, 2026 Between My Prayer and His Answer Front Cover Objective: The objective of Between My Prayer and His Answer is to encourage believers to seek God boldly, ask Him anything with confidence, and faithfully document the journey of seeking, waiting, and receiving. Between My Prayer and His Answer equips readers to pursue God intentionally, trust Him in the process, and recognize His voice and movement as He responds to those who diligently seek Him. Synopsis: Between My Prayer and His Answer is more than a journal for the waiting season — it is a sacred space for seeking. This guided prayer journal reminds you that you can ask God anything. Nothing is too small, too large, too broken, or too complicated for Him. As you seek Him with your whole heart, He promises to answer. These pages are designed to help you document your conversations with God — your prayers, your questions, your struggles, your surrender — and to record how He speaks, moves, and responds. The waiting is not passive; it is active pursuit. It is listening. It is trusting. It is watching God unfold His answer in His perfect way and timing. Between your prayer and His answer, you are being transformed. And when the answer comes, you will have written proof that God was faithful all along. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: Introduction. Write. Wait. Return. Prayer is not meant to be a one-time request sent into the air, hoping something happens. Prayer is meant to be a conversation, a living, growing relationship between you and a faithful God who listens, speaks, and responds in His perfect time. This journal was created for the space that often goes unnoticed: the space between your prayer and His answer. So many of us pray sincerely, yet we forget to return. We ask God for direction, healing, provision, or clarity, but when time passes, life moves on, and the moment is lost. What if instead of forgetting, we remember? What if we learned to document our prayers, wait with expectation, and then return to recognize how God answered? Here, you are invited to write your question to God, record the date, and trust Him with the waiting. Some answers come quickly. Others unfold slowly. And sometimes, we only recognize God’s answer when we look back. These pages are meant to become a testimony, a personal record of how God has walked with you through seasons, decisions, waiting, and breakthrough. There is no schedule here. There is no pressure to fill every page. There is only an invitation. Write. Wait. Return. May this journal help you see what has always been true: God is faithful, God is present, and God does answer prayer.
