With
my full support I am honored to present to you my wife, Pastor Keira
Taylor-Banks, who has walked with me and loved me unconditionally for
over twenty years. Truly she is the love of my life, an awesome mother,
and an excellent partner in ministry. She is as bold as a lion and is
free to walk out every inch of her calling with my full backing and
blessing.
It has been a joy to see her commit to the writing of The Matriarchal Dimension
over the past several years. I know that it is her heart’s desire to
minister to the needs of Christian women and to see them excel in their
marriages, in the marketplace, and in ministry. My wife does not see
limitations or boundaries. They only become challenges to which she
applies her knowledge and skill to solve.
As you read this book you will find Pastor Keira to be keenly
intelligent, passionate, and powerful. She is highly prophetic and
profoundly wise. Not only is she highly anointed, but she is ‘the real
deal’ and she purposefully ‘keeps it real’ when addressing the
difficult issues of women and their role in marriage
and in ministry.
Rarely do we find the meshing of fresh revelation and thorough research. In The Matriarchal Dimension,
my precious wife has released a masterpiece. Pastor Keira has
skillfully tapped into the dimension of God that has been
misunderstood, marred, and yes, even maligned. For those who truly have
‘an ear to hear what the Spirit has to say to the church,’ this book
will bring profound appreciation and understanding into God’s heart for
His Glorious Church.
Lastly,
this is not a book for women only – it is a book for all who dare to
hear the prophetic voice in the midst of a perverted society. With
precision and prophetic acumen, Pastor Keira has brilliantly composed a
weighty treasure and a sure classic.

It
is with great honor that I write the foreword to this work of literary
art; it is also a historical awakening, as well as a benchmark and
launching pad, for women to be released and catapulted into their
apostolic callings.
It
is quite clear from the very conceptual form that her statutes and
precepts are authenticated and authorized by none other than the God of
all wisdom. Her historical findings have been validated by the Ancient
of Days and her theology is founded in the Rock of Sobriety. Her
position as a wife, mother, and Pastor are prioritized according to
God’s divine order. Her content is not only solid, but immeasurably
anointed. My friend has given us a tool that will, throughout history,
prove to be what we use as a reference to sharpen our callings as women
beckoned by God to respond to the Apostolic Mandate.
As
each concept has been carefully and strategically laid out, like a
puzzle to a woven tapestry, the backside of the tapestry keeps you in
suspense until you turn the work of art over to find the unveiled
intent of the Father for His women, for His Body, for His Kingdom.
My dear sister, as you read this book, The Matriarchal Dimension,
the Deborah in you will ARISE and be the modern day prophet and the
21st century apostolic voice to this generation and to those yet to
come. My dear brother, the Moses in you will rise up in you as a
prophetic voice to intercede for your sisters and decree your sisters’
rightful place in the Five-Fold Ministry as we see clearly with Moses
as he contended for the rights of the Daughters of Zelophehad. No
longer will your sisters be denied at the gate.
As
you proceed forward to read, prepare yourself for a metamorphosis that
will change your life and a catharsis that will purge and shift your
thinking. I decree a new Richter scale that will help you balance your
calling with your personal life. May your ministry be established at
home first and may you build foundationally from the inside out.
So
get ready, GET READY, GET READY! However, may I advise you to proceed
with caution because the lethal information in the pages of this book
may be hazardous to living a life as usual, because your life will
never be the same.

The Matriarchal Dimension
by Dr. Keira Taylor Banks is an eye-opening read that outlines both the
position and the purpose of women called by God to reign. Dr. Keira
brings to light those women within the matriarchal dimension throughout
history, and uncovers their function in the earth today. In

This
book is very insightful and relevant in this important hour of
Apostolic Reformation. Dr. Keira Taylor Banks’ straight
forwardness enlightens Christian women and spiritual mothers in
understanding and knowing who they are in Christ and their walk in
divine authority.
She
shares the importance of understanding the proper biblical perspective
of submission in marriage between husbands and wives, and the
requirement of husbands to honor, appreciate and value their wives, as
well as sharing the importance of wives being called to assist their
husbands with their personal God given gifts, especially in the area of
ministering to people. She states in her book, “God desires to
upgrade the quality of life for women called to partner with great men
of God.”
Keira’s
heart is for women to recognize their critical role in the kingdom of
God and that they are valued, celebrated, and encouraged to walk out
their high calling in life.

Dr.
Keira profoundly uses her wisdom, gained throughout years of experience
in ministry, coupled with extensive research and prophetic insights
into the Kingdom assignment of women. This book expels many of the
misconceptions and tactics devised by the enemy to conceal God’s plan
and purpose for women in the Kingdom of God.
We
applaud Dr. Keira for boldly releasing truth; in particular, the truth
about the partnership between husbands and wives in ministry. She
cleverly reveals that yes, a woman can be Godly submitted to her
husband as her headship, and yet be powerful in her calling without
competing with him.
“The
Matriarchal Dimension” is a must read for every couple called of God
into ministry. The revelation in this book will catapult you into the
next dimension of ministry. A dimension where God is tremendously
capitalizing on the gifts and callings of his daughters to impact the
world!
Dr. Keira
revolutionizes the God-ordained purpose of women by uniquely unraveling
the misconceptions and traditional ideas that have held women in
bondage for ages.

We bless God for your ability
to articulate the heart of God in this hour. You answered many
questions concerning bridging the male and female components of
ministry together. We feel your book has
placed a face on many of the Godly concepts we as a ministering couple
have experienced in the last decade of ministry. We feel this book is a
must read for anyone who plans to participate in the apostolic and
prophetic advancement of the Kingdom. We commend your obedience to God
for this writing.

Dr.
Keira Taylor Banks is one of the most fascinating individuals of our
time. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Keira has
managed with great precision to pen a work of God. She has
unveiled through her book a dimension that has existed from the
beginning time. She shines light on hidden manna. She
unearths what has been buried in male chauvinism. She amplifies
what religious systems would like to keep quiet. “The Matriarchal Dimension”,
we have never seen or heard anything quite like it. This is a
must read for both men and women however, this book is not for the
faint of heart. The language in this book is for those who are
striving for mastery in the things of God. You will neither be
disappointed nor confused but you will have a thorough understanding of
both the historical and contemporary significance of the roles of women
in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
Dr.
Keira is definitely in her “Kairos” moment. God has called her to
sound the clarion call for women in the Kingdom. What a great
undertaking! We are proud to be a beloved son and daughter of
hers.

It is with great humility and honor that we release this endorsement of “The Matriarchal Dimension”, authored by a dynamic Woman of God, Pastor Keira Taylor Banks.
This
book is the key to unlock the door that have held many women caged in;
preventing them from exercising their God-given gifts, talents and
abilities.
No
longer are women to be shelled in a confinement unable to expose the
spirit of God with freedom, power and authority. No longer will women
be bound by limitations and shackles which paralyze them from
exercising the right to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God
said in His Word, that He would pour out His Spirit on all mankind.
“The Matriarchal Dimension” is a clear and precise tool designed to aid
women in the elevation from the level they are on into the dimension
God ordained them to be in.

The Matriarchal Dimension
is a must read for every Pastor that truly wants to understand the role
of “spiritual mothering” and develop a biblical based women’s
ministry. We believe this book is not written solely for women,
but every man of God will benefit from the subject matter. Dr.
Keira Banks does a masterful job of exposing the underlying attacks on
women in ministry, while skillfully separating this prophetic teaching
from that of the traditional Feminist Movement.
We fully endorse this prophetic teaching from God.

In
this season, many believers serving in the Body of Christ are able to
discern the accelerating change and strategic positioning currently
taking place. However, the awesomely anointed Men and Women of God who
stand as the chosen earthen vessels of Honor were certainly given prior
divine insight to this forthcoming dimensional shift which is occurring
now. Certain believers in the Body of Christ are able to directly
tap into the unique anointing resting upon the appointed Men and Women
in dynamic pastoral leadership positions, because God is raising up a
generation that hungers and seeks God boldly. I received a distinct
awakening to what was spiritually taking place when I began reading The Matriarchal Dimension,
the newest book released by Dr. Keira Taylor-Banks. This remarkable
book delivers a profound textual disclosure, which clearly illuminates
the intended roles of Men and Women of God. The book outlines the path
which God desires for His chosen Men and Women to walk upon, and it
takes into account each of their respective ranks as it relates to
dominion in carrying out Kingdom Business. The tremendous anointing and
prophetic mantle resting on Dr. Taylor-Banks, transcends through her
words and straight into the reader’s spirit. She conveys with
authority the urgent Kingdom assignment for today’s church, which
the Holy scriptures confirm and bear witness to throughout the entire
Bible. In addition, Dr. Taylor-Banks reveals that Women of God
have an ordained appointment awaiting them to step forth into their
divinely elected positions now.
The Matriarchal Dimension
uncovers centuries of traditional and conditioned belief systems, which
suggest that women are limited to secondary background roles in the
church. In order to dissolve these man-made religious limitations, God
has chosen to elevate Dr. Taylor-Banks as a pioneering Spiritual Mother
to enter into controversial territory for two primary reasons. I
believe the first purpose is to shatter the customary beliefs
surrounding the role women should play in the church, and the second
reason is to release a supreme anointing to spiritual daughters in all
nations. Dr. Taylor-Banks makes a notable point in her book when she
states, “this is the season where women with the mantle of the
Spiritual Mother will emerge with great authority in the spirit
realm,” and she brilliantly elucidates that, “Spiritual
Mothers are those women who possess a unique quality, and that quality
is, the DNA of partnership since they represent the counterpart and
helpmeet gift of the Spiritual Fathers.” The vital partnership
between Spiritual Fathers and Spiritual Mothers sets the cornerstone
for a full transfer of their anointing into the spiritually mature sons
and daughters directly connected to both of them respectively.
Dr. Taylor-Banks does a superb job outlining God’s purposeful
design consisting of two conjoining spheres of Dominion. Both spheres
carry equal importance in purpose, function, and leadership.
While flowing in complete authority and purpose within their individual
spheres, Men and Women of God can join together creating a united force
against the enemy and to conduct major tactical missions related to the
Kingdom’s agenda.
As a Daughter of the most High God, I consider the powerful message brought forth by Dr. Keira Taylor-Banks in The Matriarchal Dimension
to be classified as an avant-garde tome. She prophetically unveils
God’s foundational blueprint that we as Women of God should
implement not just within the confines of the church walls, but also
when we take the Gospel to all nations in the world. Just merely
closing the tangible pages of her book while commenting on the awesome
impact it conveys is not enough. Recognizing the book’s potential
to transform many generations is only an attempt to scratch the surface
of the book’s intent to empower. This is a divine written work
that God downloaded into the spirit of a great Woman of God who also
represents a stellar model of a Spiritual Mother. Those believers who
have been patiently waiting for an actual confirmation before stepping
out into their divine destiny and purpose; they do not have to wait any
longer. Within the pages of The Matriarchal Dimension
your confirmation from God awaits you. There is a supernatural call to
action occurring right now at this predestined moment. We as daughters
and women of God must simply heed the call, arise like Deborah did, and
get moving!
