Living in the Kingdom
Living in the Kingdom is a scripture-driven teaching by Apostle Mary Banks that explores what it truly means to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom here on earth. Drawing deeply from Hebrews 11 and 12, the book examines how the Old Testament patriarchs believed God for a heavenly country they never saw in their lifetime, and how believers today have already arrived at that promised city through Christ. Readers will learn why the Body of Christ often remains disconnected from the riches of its inheritance, how sin and a root of bitterness can rob believers of their birthright, and why spiritual communion (supping) with the Lord has grown rare among Christians. The book moves into a practical section on renewing the mind, teaching that the mind must be exposed to the experiential truth of God's Word, trained to love righteousness, and surrendered fully to God's will rather than resisting self-denial and sacrifice. Apostle Banks contrasts the wholehearted agreement and trust the patriarchs had with God against the modern believer's tendency to negotiate faith on personal terms. This teaching is unique in its blend of doctrinal depth and direct spiritual challenge, calling readers to move from academic knowledge of scripture to lived, experiential faith. It is ideal for believers seeking a deeper walk with God, ministry leaders teaching on faith and inheritance, and anyone wrestling with why their spiritual life feels distant from the promises of scripture. Short in length but rich in substance, it is well suited for both personal study and small group discussion.
