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.

What if continuing to pray about a circumstance is making you crazy because you know what God’s told you to do about a situation, but your loved one isn’t letting you? And now you’re running away from them into fear and defeat (after having been delivered from those things), because you’re not being “allowed” to show the expression of love you feel God telling you to do and therefore your identity- in Christ and through Christ?
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
Rest in Christ and let Him and the Holy Spirit wage battle, as we know it’s not a battle of flesh and blood, but of the rules in spiritual places. Rest, stand, believe.
Querido Deus, obrigada por tudo que o Senhor me deu até hoje, e obrigada por nunca me abandonar.
Obrigada por me dar uma família incrível, pela qual venho orar hoje. Que o Senhor não deixe que ela seja destruída e possa mudar a cada um de nós para mantermos ela inteira. Amém.
Amen. May God be known to be God.

i speak the word of healing into your mother’s body system now in Jesus name.
I pray that the unchangeable changing God will deliver you and set you free in Jesus name.Amen
I was just praying this morning for guidance and I had to remind myself who I am and who I serve. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savor years ago. I is hard and has not been easy, but his mercy and grace has kept me and will do the same for everyone of you. Pray, believe, trust, and believe him for whatever it is you want. If Jesus has promised you. He will bring those prayers to reality. It is only in his time. The key is not giving up. Be honest with the Lord in prayer. He reminded me of what he has done in the past and what he is about to do now. I ask Jesus to help every believer to truly cast cares on him and to let him be God. Let go of fear and walk into your destiny.

Experienced the same thing but you have to Pray Until Something Happen. And as you pray God’s grace is sufficient to help you to PUSH!!!!!! The bible says this kind comes out by fasting and prayer……… the fasting is more so for you (it’s like exercise). It works muscles (strength, patience, faith, peace, etc) that you didn’t knew existed. My husband is closer to God than he has ever been before. We do nothing of our own selves. God wants us to try, attempt, walk by faith and trust that He will do the rest. Right before you get the kids up, on your way to pick them up, before you go to bed…………just pray and watch God move. #PUSH PS. My husband beats me up praying every morning. I never said a word to him only to God!!!
Hi my issue is praying persistently, I find it hard though I have a lot family issues right now. Please pray for my husband to have a close walk with Jesus and to be the husband and father that God wants for us. There are a lot of things that pulled him away from his walk of faith. I would like to be strong as I stand in the gap. I love him but we are not connected in many ways. Thank you for your advice on praying it’s very inspiring and hope building. God bless you as you continue to minister.
Praying for you and praying with you as I ask the same for my husband. We PUSH!
That’s truth.
I have learned and accepted the fact that you must forgive others, pray for GOD’S FAVOR AND GUIDANCE, and HE will lead your path. GOD has restored those things which were lost. GOD hears your prayers, stay in the Scriptures and you will be BLESSED!
I have been wrongly accused on my job because I won’t do things that are wrong for some employees.
Pray with me please. I looked up your site and am glad. I will pray for Gods intervention and strength.
Ruth – We pray with you for the protection and favor of God. Forgive them but seek God to help you and guide you. We love you. Rex
I got saved from my sinful world,please pray for my spiritual growth.
Does believeing in God mean acceptance of poverty and maltreatment.
Vivian – Absolutely not. The ‘Good News’ of the Gospel is the freedom from such things. Start at our front page and read the articles that may jump out at you. God will change your heart and show you the way out of your problems. God through the work of Jesus Christ is Way out of all kinds of poverty and maltreatment. We love you. Rex

Mr. Walsh – Start here – Do God’s Promises Cover What You Want? – Hagin. Answered prayer comes through faith. So the issue is faith. Then start here and read the articles that jump out at you. We love you. You will make it. Rex
