Self Denial

This teaching explores the divine operation of faith and salvation through Christ, emphasizing that true faith is authored by Jesus rather than self-generated. Drawing from Colossians 2:12 and Romans 6, it explains how believers are buried with Christ in baptism and raised through God's operation of faith, highlighting the transformation that occurs when we surrender to God's salvation. The message underscores that while salvation is universally offered through Christ alone, it requires a complete death to self and resurrection with Him through genuine faith.

This powerful teaching explores the fundamental question of truly knowing God through authentic discipleship and self-denial. Apostle Mary Banks challenges believers to examine whether they're genuinely submitting to God's leadership or merely including Him in their own plans, sharing personal testimony of abandoning worldly success for ministry. The message emphasizes Jesus' teaching that self-denial is non-negotiable for genuine discipleship, while drawing parallels between modern Christians' struggles and ancient Israel's pattern of wavering between submission and rebellion.
