The way to get real-life results in prayer is to seek God with an attitude that says, “No matter how long it takes, or whatever I have to do, I will not be denied.” This is not arrogance; it is Godly hunger. It is not about pushing God, but about pushing yourself into God. It is not praying for the sake of praying. It is praying to see the hand of God move. It is desperate hungry praying. It is the type of prayer that gets answers.
Faith takes two things, first the written scriptures (hope) and then the spoken personal word of God (faith) – Romans 10:17. The scriptures show us the general will of God and communicate the conditions that must be met to receive faith and see His hand move. His spoken personal word reveals His will to us personally, and lets us know when we have met those conditions. The goal is to hear God confirm His promise and let Him place His witness into our heart. The promise then comes alive and becomes a reality to us. This reality is ‘the substance (lit. – reality, assurance, title-deed) of things (previously) hoped for, the evidence of things not (yet) seen’ (Hebrews 11:1).
This is not arrogance; it’s Godly hunger.This seeking turns the general promises of God into personal realities. This is the period when we work the word, and the word works in us. Seeking God merges the word of God and the will of God into our lives. We become one with the word. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, (you shall) ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7) This faith process turns desires into Bible hopes, and Bible hopes into real life realities. It is not easy, but it is never impossible. Anybody with enough hunger can make it happen.
The process usually takes time, and there are no shortcuts. God does not respond to part-time seekers. He is only found by those who seek Him with their whole heart. The Bible says, ‘You must be diligent so as to realize the full assurance of hope, so that you will receive the promise’ (Hebrews 6:11). Growing faith is hard work, for the Bible goes on to say, ‘Don’t be sluggish but be imitators of those who through faith and patience have inherited the promises’ (Hebrews 6:12).
This is desperate hungry praying. This is the type of prayer that gets answers.Pray until you receive an answer from God, for when you do, you will have the victory. You must persevere until you get to a place where you are ‘fully assured that what God has promised, (for) He is able also to perform’ (Romans 4:21). When you hear Him, you have the answer, for Paul says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the (spoken) word of God’ (Romans 10:17). The word translated ‘word’ here is the Greek word rhema, and it speaks of a personal face-to-face type of communication. He is not talking about a mere reading of the word. This is deeper. This is God making the word on the page come alive in your heart. The word on the page must become the word in your heart before you can have enough faith to receive from God.
Then, and only then, you can speak faith’s victory to your life and situation. Speaking words filled with faith is the only kind of speaking that makes a difference. This kind of speaking will move mountains. Seek Him till you hear from Him. Jesus told us that in prayer we should always pray and never give up. Don’t give up! Seek Him till you hear His voice. Let Him deal with your heart, for as you do, He will speak your answer to you. When you hear the answer, you will have the answer.

Faith is not insisting on your desires but accepting the will and wisdom of God. Like Jesus, when He wanted the cup to pass over Him, if you pray and nothing changes, surrender to the will and wisdom of God. This is the kind of fellowship God desires.

very good, thanks
Wow!!!! I love this. I’ve been sooo blessed
Please don’t argue scripture. Actually PUSH is my message for Sunday morning. Yes this message Rex and Faith Mechanic has helped me even the more. Please keep letting God use you to help God’s people. Dr. Glenda C. Tubner was
It is very disturbing to see children of God arguing the scripture instead of discussing it.
I pray God help us to understand the teachings of Christ in Jesus name. Amen.

Lovely points
It is sad seeing people trying to suppress Truth. Don’t tag contrary opinion to arguing scripture. Rather, be humble enough to prayerfully consider the points raised. It is not every time a believer would be in the spirit. In such cases, errors could be made. Take the case of a revered prophet like Eli wrongly accusing Hannah of being drunk. When Hannah protested, Eli did not accuse her of arguing. Rather, he humbly accepted his wrong sense of judgment and prayed for her. This is Christianity.
I saw a church with “P.U.S.H.” on its board . Got me thinking, but as was said Jesus prayed at the wrong time concerning HIS mission and removing the Cup from HIS lips. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
I need help my life I want people to pray for me because things in my life are not going well
I was going through a lot 2015 and I was just surfing the web for encouragement when I came in contact with this site. Until now, I hadn’t been here for years. I had to searching “faith hope and love site” to look for you guys; and the moment I saw this site, I knew it was it and then I clicked on it.
I met someone here that year-2015- by name Anthony Caruso, who gave me Andrew Wommack’s site to listen to the audio teaching “you’ve already got it”. I don’t know if he is still here. Is he still here?
Awesome commentary
I got things going on in my life and I have a son of deals with mental disorders and chemical imbalance and he gets kicked out of rehabs and whatnot and his prayers can just be prayed for my son Zachary and for me and for my mom and my daughter and my other son for healing and for the light to touch him and to change their hearts and mine
I pray that all.of us including myself will start to.practice inviting andd bring people to church. We are all being tsrgeted ny the devil. We want Godly friends but first we need to introduce these new friends to the Bible do thry will know and be anle to reconize the truth to srt them free.

Jae – Thank you so much, and God bless you. Seek Him with your whole heart, for then you will find your answers. You will also grow in the process. It is the win-win process that God call ‘salvation.’ Yes, He wants us to have things, but the big thing is growth in Him. We love you. Rex
I very glad to read about a topic in a persistent prayer. I am going through sickness and 3 months under that, I have no real peace ’cause this sickness is a I.S.T and as a married, this makes my wife too sick. I need prayer for both of us to recover.
This PUSH theory works for Christians who have solid faith in Christ and out heavenly Father…. It makes us see prayer as the only avenue to receive from God …
Esther – Yes it is. For those who are hungry enough to do whatever it takes to seek God, God is there and will be found – “those that seek Him with their WHOLE HEART”. Thanks, we love you. Rex
God i pray i am with you in revelations 22 its my inner deepest desire. I dont understand everything but i know that all the answers are in the bible
Prayer works. There is something that God loves and works more than prayer. It is called obedience. Those who are faithful enough to obey the word of God enjoy quicker and greater blessing than those who PUSH. This is bitter as truth is in the ears of unbelievers.
Kali,
Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies . And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you CONSTANTLY intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.
Ephesians 6:17-18 TPT
So he left them and went away to pray the same prayer for the third time.
Matthew 26:44 TPT
Your argument about not praying for the same thing is not biblical. Even after you say “He repented” which was not repentance. Because to repent would mean that He sinned? I’m 100% certain that He never sinned. Jesus went back to pray a 3rd time after saying “your will be done”.
It is not about doubt. It is about being obedient in seeking Him and seeking answers and speaking Life and just spending time with our Daddy.
Don’t read the Bible as you do textbooks or newspapers. Wisdom is profitable to direct. What happened after Jesus left them behind to go and pray? Didn’t the Bible say He afterwards surrendered to the will of God?
To repent doesn’t necessarily have to do with sin. When a person abandons an old way or opinion to accept a new one too is repentance.
God is not wicked. Even humans don’t withhold good things from their children. God will therefore not depend on the persistency of our prayers to do us good.
Repent. Stop presenting God in a bad light. Drop your pride and accept the truth. You won’t lose anything.
It’s good to pray. When we pray, we submit to God. We demonstrate that He is the source of our being and provisions.
The attention we give to prayer should be directed towards promoting obedience of God’s word. To obey the word of God is better than to pray a million times for something in a day.
God is good. He is not the kind of Being you people are presenting.
Finally, I want to plead with you not to mix praying for faith. Prayer is submission. Faith is confirmation of submission to the will of God.
Kali – Again, we are not Pushing God. We are pushing into God and His will. We are not praying for faith. We are simply seeking God with all our might and will continue that seeking until He speaks to us.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
I believe this tenacity brings joy to Him. We are not presenting God in a bad light by seeking Him hard. We are submitting to the will of God in doing this, for as we seek Him we change. I don’t think we are in pride. I actually think you are in spiritual pride and cannot see another point of view.
You can choose to coin any phrase to defend a faulty narrative. Even so, faithlessness is one of the things that will make someone push into God. Why PUSH when waiting patiently will do? I will not learn from you. I will learn from Jesus, who after PUSH didn’t make any difference, surrendered to the will of God.
Accusing of spiritual pride is unfortunate. Why will you expect me to give thought an alternative view that is not scriptural?
Faith is patient. It is never arrogant. Arrogance is what makes one to blackmail God in the name of PUSH. Instead of PUSH, Obey Until Something Happens (OUSH). You can’t be wrong with obeying God
Kali I have read your posts here and I believe that you are speaking what the Scriptures teach. In fact true faithfulness is and can only be when a believer obeys. Here’s what Romans 1 and Romans 16 says
Romans 1:5 New International Version (NIV)
5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from[a] faith for his name’s sake.
Romans 16:25-26 New International Version (NIV)
25 Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from[a] faith—
Thanks for your frank opinion on this issue. Many have disagreed with me but that will not change the truth. One cannot claim to have faith in God but PUSH Him to do things outside of His timing.
My desire and prayer is that God reveals Himself to us in clearer terms so that we can appreciate the truth even from afar.
Thank you.
Please pray for me healing in the name of Jesus . I’m sick with many conditions but I know God to be Jehovah Raphael the Lord thou God who healeth thee. I need a right now miracle. Thank you and God bless your. Glenda C. Tubner
