Essence of her preaching
Roughly, María Luisa preaches the restoration of Christianity in modern times, and therefore is based on the Bible, focusing on the message of Jesus of Nazareth under the Neo Pentecostalism with its consequent emphasis on the actions of the Holy Spirit.
The Church goes beyond the spiritual benefits that Pentecostal churches would be comfortable with, adding additional spiritual benefits, which include the ability to counteract witchcraft, curses, demons and other trouble sources.
The greatest contribution, and most controversial issue, that Maria Luisa Piraquive ensures is that within Christianity, God speaks to man, even today, through individual prophecies as the bible[7] states, which is continued to be practiced extensively in the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International.

24. But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all,
25. and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"” —Paul of Tarsus, First Epistle to the Corinthians
