The West London are due to face a real six-pointer against fellow strugglers Wigan Athletic, with Rangers seven points adrift of safety and the Latics above the bottom three on goal difference alone.
Successive defeats to Aston Villa and Fulham have left QPR in a weak position, but Redknapp wants his team to share his conviction that they can stay in the top flight.
Redknapp said: "When I stop believing, the players will stop believing. If I send out the wrong message they'll down tools, thinking we've had it.
"Nothing else but a win would be any good to us. We need to win and keep winning. We need to win four or five games — it's a tall order but not impossible.
"But if we don't win on Sunday we won't give up because there'll be six games left and we could still win all six. You don't give up, you have to keep going."
QPR have splashed the cash under chairman Tony Fernandes, who has insisted the club will be financially secure even if they are relegated.
Those players on big contracts such as Christopher Samba and Loic Remy will leave, while the future of Redknapp himself will be open to question.
Redknapp said: "We've never discussed relegation. We've never thought about relegation. We're positive and still believe we can get out of it.
"It's up to the owners and the chairman if I stay on. I'm happy here, it's a good club with good people. I love it here.
"If I could have four years at QPR I'd be delighted, but I'd have to be successful to stay here. If I can do well here I'd love to stay."
