INTRODUCTION

MARY BANKS MINISTRIES Mary Banks Ministries (MBM) is a multifaceted, non-denominational ministry committed to the healing of the Body of Christ.

It is primarily a ministerial training mechanism for the preparation of the sons of God who will herald the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is imperative that you understand the vision of this ministry. This will ensure that you do not lose focus, misinterpret or misunderstand some of the methods that may be used to bring us into the mind of Christ. The Body of Christ is divided because of the differences in man’s doctrines. The Apostle Paul admonished the churches to speak the same thing. This can only be accomplished by submission to God's Word, so that the people can be systematically brought into the mind of Christ. The teachings of Christ must be the foundational doctrine on which every ministry is built. Ministers must be the first partakers of the Word and lead by example. This ministry is mandated by God to reform His Church. Jesus is returning for a Church without spot or blemish.

As a whole, the members of the Body of Christ do not believe they can be perfect and without sin, however this is not in the Word. We can move into perfection once the sin issue is dealt with. This is a must. The sin issue will be dealt with in this ministry because we are one of the “pioneering ministries” that must prove the ‘Word’ in our lives first, in order to persuade others that God’s Word is ‘The Truth’. MBM maintains Apostolic Order, which is God’s government in the earth. The Scripture has declared and established that the gifts Jesus left to the Body of Christ are the Apostle, the Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor and the Teacher for the perfecting of the saints. These gifts are for the work of the ministry and the edifying of the Body of Christ to it into the unity of the faith. (Ephesians 4:11-13)

God’s government is a safeguard against being tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14)

The government of God brings unity into the Body and ensures that all members speak the same thing, and are pressing toward the same mark of perfection.

FROM OUR APOSTLE

I want to personally greet you in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has truly put in motion a worldwide work of cleansing and purging the church of its spots and wrinkles; i.e., false doctrines, lusts for the things of this world, jealousies, hatred, backbiting and dissension among the brethren. He has chosen us to be a part of the reformation that will change the mindset of the Church and reconcile the lost back to Him. Everyone who is the called into the Body of Christ is also given the Ministry of Reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

The only reason God has left us in these earthen vessels is to procure more sons. We have become vessels of honor that the Holy Ghost inhabits to fulfill this purpose in the earth. God needs willing vessels that are fully persuaded that their only purpose is to glorify Him by becoming living sacrifices. This is our reasonable service. This Ministry has been empowered by the Holy Ghost to recapture the real meaning of the Word, and we have undertaken to extract God’s perspective of the Scriptures. We are charged with teaching the Word, not man’s doctrine. There is no private interpretation of Scripture (2 Peter 1:20)

In other words, the Bible must interpret itself. These teachings have awakened the Christian community around the world, resulting in some moving to a higher level of spiritual comprehension of God’s Word and a deeper relationship with Him. We thank God that He has given us the “missing link” that will close the gap between our Father God and the sons. This is the season that God is going to use His Body, ‘The Church’, to make a profound statement to the world. We encourage you to give yourself over to the study of the Word and prayer, and let God make you into a precious vessel of ministry. May you be blessed with eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to understand the Vision God has given me. I pray that you will comprehend the vastness of its capacity to make room for your gifts and talents, as well as the gifts and talents of the people you shepherd.

Mary Banks, Apostle & Founder
