Do You Really Know God?

In Do You Really Know God?, Apostle Mary Banks challenges readers to examine whether their relationship with God goes beyond memorized scripture into genuine intimacy and obedience. Drawing deeply from Isaiah 57, Ephesians 2, and the teachings of Jesus on the Comforter, she unpacks what it truly means to know God's heart, not just His words. The book walks readers through the nature of holiness as a state of being rather than a set of religious behaviors, explains the New Testament concept of peace as reconciliation, inner tranquility, and future hope, and addresses the difficult but essential subject of why saints suffer and how the Holy Spirit sustains believers through trials. Readers will learn how humility and contrition open the door to God's presence, why a constant struggle to choose righteousness may reveal an unrighteous disposition, and how the Holy Spirit functions as both guide and strength for the believer's walk. Rich with scripture sequences and practical spiritual insight, this book is written for believers who sense a gap between their theological knowledge and their lived experience of God. It is especially suited for those pursuing deeper discipleship, pastors and leaders shaping teaching on holiness and the Holy Spirit, and any Christian wrestling with suffering or spiritual dryness. Apostle Banks brings decades of ministry experience and pastoral insight to a message that is both convicting and comforting, urging readers toward a life fully surrendered to God's will and empowered by His peace.

Do You Really Know God? Transcripts

Do You Really Know God? is a compelling study guide by Apostle Mary Banks that challenges believers to move beyond a surface-level familiarity with Scripture and into a genuine, transformative relationship with the God of the Bible. Drawing from the King James Version, this four-chapter guide walks readers through foundational truths that are often overlooked in modern Christian culture. Chapter One opens with a penetrating question drawn from Isaiah 57, examining how believers can drift into self-worship, idolatry of money, fame, and personal ambition, while still claiming to follow God. Chapter Two unpacks the power and nature of holiness, defining it not as religious performance but as a life fully surrendered to the Spirit, free from the obstructions of pride, unforgiveness, and iniquity. Chapter Three offers a rich study of the word peace as it appears throughout the New Testament, covering spiritual reconciliation with God through Christ, inner tranquility, peace as a guiding principle for believers, and the ultimate hope of God's Kingdom. Chapter Four answers the question of why God gave believers the Comforter, explaining the Holy Spirit's dual role in guiding believers into God's will and empowering them to bear that will with joy. This study guide is ideal for individual devotional use, small group Bible study, or discipleship training. It includes lined notes pages after each chapter to encourage personal reflection. Readers will come away with a clearer understanding of God's character, a deeper hunger for holiness, and renewed confidence in the peace and guidance available through the Holy Spirit.

This resource is ideal for women's ministry leaders, small group facilitators, and individual women who desire more than surface-level teaching.

Equal with God

The Body of Christ may not fully grasp its own purpose. Scripture states that God predestined us as His children, referred to as "gods" in Psalm 82. The church avoids teaching this, possibly due to unbelief. Could the churchs sins and failures lead to doubting that anyone can emulate Jesus? With such a mindset, the church remains in despair, unable to please the Father. Delve into this book and unveil how Mary Banks captures the whole picture as God reveals it to her.

GO TELL MY BROTHERS

Go Tell My Brothers is a bold, scripture-rich message from Apostle Mary Banks addressed directly to the men of the Body of Christ. Drawing from the commission Jesus gave to Mary at the resurrection, Apostle Banks delivers a clarion call for believers to grasp the full weight of what it means to be sons of the living God. The book opens with a deep exploration of Hebrews 1, unpacking the name 'Son' as the very basis of Christ's superiority over angels and showing how that same divine sonship has been extended to every born-again believer through the Holy Spirit. The teaching then moves into a frank and courageous examination of one of the most persistent obstacles to kingdom advancement: the male ego and its resistance to women in ministry. Using the story of Manoah and his wife from Judges 13, Apostle Banks illustrates how God consistently bypasses pride and speaks through those the world considers lesser vessels. She challenges men to confront hidden attitudes about gender, race, and social status that quietly undermine their anointing and block the unity of the Body. Readers will also be confronted with practical questions about their personal character, drawing from 1 Timothy 4 to examine whether they are truly examples of believers in word, conduct, charity, faith, and purity. The book closes with an urgent warning that true men of God are facing extinction and that each believer must choose the life of Christ. This book is ideal for male believers at any stage of ministry, pastors, church leaders, and anyone seeking to move beyond religious routine into genuine kingdom purpose. Its directness, depth, and compassion make it a rare and necessary resource for the modern church.
