Hinderances to the Anointing - Study to be Approved

Many believers and ministers carry genuine zeal for God, yet find themselves spiritually unprepared when it matters most. In this focused study guide, apostle Mary Banks draws from 2 Timothy 2:15 to explore one of the most overlooked hindrances to the anointing: the failure to study for God's approval rather than mere academic comprehension of Scripture. Using the metaphor of a workman made ashamed on the job, Mary Banks challenges readers to examine the posture of their hearts when approaching the Word of God. She unpacks the meaning of 'rightly dividing' the Word, connecting it to the example of Jesus, who received the Father's words without alteration and delivered them with full integrity to His disciples. This alignment between the believer's heart and the Word is presented as the very foundation upon which the anointing operates. Readers will learn why intellectual engagement with Scripture falls short, how iniquity in the heart gives rise to false doctrine, and why making oneself one with God's Word is the only path to consistent, effective ministry. The guide also explores how Jesus modeled sonship not by relying on His title but by abiding in the principles the Father outlined. This study guide is ideal for ministers, intercessors, and serious believers who want to move beyond religious activity into genuine spiritual authority. It is concise, scripturally grounded, and practically challenging, making it a valuable resource for personal devotion, small group discussion, or ministerial training.

Book · Communion & Sacraments

Holy Communion

Holy Communion by Mary Banks is a thorough, scripture-grounded exploration of one of the most sacred ordinances in the Christian faith. Drawing from the King James Bible and spanning four focused chapters, this book answers the questions many believers have never thought to ask: What is Holy Communion really? Who should take it? Who should not? And what are the spiritual and physical consequences of partaking unworthily? Mary Banks begins by tracing the roots of Communion back to the original Passover in Exodus, showing how Jesus fulfilled that ancient ceremony as the Lamb of God. She explains that Communion is not merely a ritual or a symbolic reminder but a living declaration of union with Christ and His Body. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to discern the Lord's body and why that discernment matters. The book then addresses the sobering reality that many believers take Communion while harboring unrepentant sin, offense, or iniquity, and connects this directly to the physical weakness, sickness, and even death Paul warns about in 1 Corinthians 11. A chapter on Communion as confrontation examines the story of Judas at the Last Supper, challenging readers to honest self-examination before approaching the Lord's Table. The final chapter, Communion: For Better or For Worse, calls the Body of Christ to walk in love, holiness, and accountability so that the sacrament becomes a source of life rather than judgment. This book is ideal for mature believers, small group leaders, pastors, and anyone seeking a richer, more reverent understanding of this holy ordinance.

How to Overcome Seducing Spirits

How to Overcome Seducing Spirits is a sobering, Scripture-rich teaching by Mary Banks that confronts one of the most dangerous yet overlooked threats facing the modern church: the seducing spirit operating from within. Drawing primarily from 1 Timothy 4, Romans 1, and supporting passages throughout the New and Old Testaments, this six-chapter book walks readers through the anatomy of spiritual deception and the progressive path that leads believers away from God and toward a reprobate mind. Readers will discover what a seducing spirit actually is, how it gains access to the household of faith, and why even born-again believers are not immune to its influence. Mary Banks carefully traces the stages of spiritual decline, from the loss of conviction and the searing of conscience, to the redefining of God, the embrace of vile affections, and ultimately divine abandonment. Each stage is examined with pastoral clarity and backed by extensive scriptural references. The book also addresses the critical role of apostolic order and church discipline in combating false doctrine, the danger of unlawful soul ties and misplaced loyalties, and the conditions required for genuine forgiveness and restoration. A dedicated chapter on godly sorrow unpacks the seven elements of true repentance drawn from 2 Corinthians 7, giving readers a practical framework for clearing themselves before God. This resource is ideal for pastors, ministry leaders, intercessors, and any believer who desires to remain spiritually alert in an era of increasing deception. It is both a warning and a guide, equipping the church to stand firm, discern accurately, and finish the race without compromise.

How To Pray In The Spirit

How To Pray In The Spirit is a focused biblical teaching on what it truly means to communicate with God through prayer. Drawing heavily from Scripture, including Philippians 4:6, Matthew 6, and Romans 8:26-28, Mary Banks walks readers through the foundational principles of prayer: its focused and intentional nature, its origin in the heart, the danger of empty or hasty prayers, and the deeper reality of praying in the Spirit through the groanings and moanings of intercession. Readers will learn how to examine their hearts before God, address unforgiveness honestly, and move beyond ritualistic or repetitive prayer into genuine, Spirit-led communion with the Father. The book carefully distinguishes between worship in the Spirit (praying in an unknown tongue during corporate worship) and the Holy Spirit's personal intercession on our behalf, a distinction often confused in charismatic teaching. Practical reflections on forgiveness, Christ's example, and the posture of the heart help readers cultivate sincerity and compassion in their prayer lives. This short but rich study is ideal for believers who feel their prayer life has become routine or ineffective and who desire to press deeper into intimacy with God. Pastors, intercessors, and small group leaders will find this a valuable teaching tool for equipping others in fervent, heart-aligned, Spirit-empowered prayer. Its scripture-anchored, easy-to-follow structure makes it accessible for personal devotion or group study alike.

How to Teach Salvation

How to Teach Salvation by Michael Thomas is a practical, scripturally grounded guide designed to help ministers, teachers, and disciplers communicate the gospel with clarity and conviction. The guide opens by addressing a critical gap in many congregations: people who identify as Christians yet lack a firm understanding of what salvation truly means and how it differs from mere religious affiliation or water baptism alone. Thomas walks readers through the biblical narrative beginning in Genesis 3, tracing the origin of humanity's spiritual crisis and the lie introduced by the serpent. He carefully unpacks what was lost at the Fall, including innocence, purity, and fellowship with God, and what was gained, namely the captivity of sin and spiritual death. This foundation helps teachers frame salvation not as an abstract concept but as a genuine, transformative encounter with the living God. Drawing from key passages in Genesis, John 17, Romans 6, and Ephesians 2, the guide explains the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit, the end of sin's dominion over the believer, and what it means to walk in newness of life. Thomas also addresses the spirit of disobedience described in Ephesians 2:2, helping teachers explain the internal transformation that occurs at salvation. The guide closes with practical counsel on teaching with honesty and compassion, acknowledging the ongoing struggles believers face while pointing them toward deeper submission to the Holy Spirit. This resource is ideal for pastors, Sunday school teachers, small group leaders, and anyone called to lead others into a genuine understanding of salvation.
