Pastor Bankie delivers a powerful exhortation on reorienting Christian prayer from self-centered petitions to a passionate pursuit of God’s kingdom. He argues that most Christians unknowingly pray like 'Gentiles'—focused on personal needs like food, money, and healing—rather than declaring 'Thy kingdom come' with urgency and sacrifice. Drawing from John Piper and Rick Joyner, he challenges listeners to reject the prosperity gospel mindset and embrace a higher calling: aligning one’s life with God’s eternal plan, which spans thousands of generations. He illustrates this through stories of John G. Lee, who left a fortune to serve in South Africa, and David Postman, who discovered his calling not through dramatic visions but through consistent, Spirit-led decisions. Pastor Bankie warns that God often doesn’t give direct commands because most people would disobey; instead, He persuades through frustration, redirection, and quiet conviction. The ultimate test of spiritual maturity, he says, is not hearing voices but having the values of God—loving what He loves, hating what He hates, and making everyday choices that advance His kingdom, even when it means personal loss or hardship.
Pray not for personal gain, but for God’s kingdom to come—this is the only prayer that distinguishes Christians from unbelievers.
God’s plan extends to a thousand generations, not just your lifetime or your children’s—think eternally, not temporally.
If you're not where God wants you to be geographically or professionally, it’s likely due to wrong motivation, not divine delay.
God rarely gives direct commands because most people would disobey; instead, He persuades through frustration, dreams, and quiet nudges.
True spiritual maturity isn’t hearing voices—it’s having God’s values as your own: loving what He loves, hating what He hates.

Opening Declaration and Focus on Prayer
Pastor Bankie opens with a declaration of spiritual wisdom and revelation, setting the tone for a deep dive into the heart of prayer—seeking God’s kingdom above personal needs.
The Problem: Christians Pray Like Gentiles
“If that's all you two are praying, you are praying exactly like unbelievers. You are praying exactly like unbelievers.”
God’s Eternal Vision vs. Human Limitations
“God is different. When God is making a plan and is leading you to make a choice, he's not thinking about you. In fact, can I say, you're the least on the line. He's concerned about a thousand generations after you.”
The Discipline of God: Frustration as Love
“God will take a man and frustrate him there. They will say invest, invest. He will invest and lose his money. When he has done that for a few years, all God is just trying to do. He's making him lose faith where he kept his faith. And that's the love of God. It's the discipline of the Almighty.”
The Danger of Satan’s 'Escape Routes'
“Satan never offers something without the will of unrighteousness. Unrighteousness will always be there.”
“If that's all you two are praying, you are praying exactly like unbelievers. You are praying exactly like unbelievers.”
“God says to you, ask me for anything. Don't just open your mouth up. I said, Lord, what is most important to you and to me at this time of my life?”
“God is different. When God is making a plan and is leading you to make a choice, he's not thinking about you. In fact, can I say, you're the least on the line. He's concerned about a thousand generations after you.”
