One of the numbers I see frequently is, 444. I saw it so often and so many variations of it, like 44, 4, 4:44 or 44:4 that I just took it as my number. To the point that I had 44 as the number I chose for my softball jersey when I was a coach back in Kansas City and I have a necklace with that number on it. I know one thing that number means to me is Ezekiel 44, which speaks about the Zadok Priesthood, who did not go astray when the Levitical priests were acting contrary to the commands of God. All that to say, this morning in prayer a phrase jumped out at me as a word from God for us and it is found in Psalm 44:4.

Psalm 44:4 says, “Command victories for Jacob!” The psalmist is asking this of God, but this morning I sensed the Lord was asking this from us. The Holy Spirit made it clear I have the power in my mouth to command victories for people, for families, for cities, for nations, for companies, for churches, for whatever I choose. The power to command victories is exhilarating. I was commanding victories for people I know, families I love, my home church here in Nashville, for our city, for our nation, for some friends businesses. It was the best way to pray today.

We use our mouth for a lot of things, but today and many days after this I pray we use our mouth to command victories for people and places. Instead of being critical, command a victory. We can command victory over their body, their mind, their money, their marriage, their ministry, their company. It is endless what we can command victory over when we see or hear people. I pray you start today with Psalm 44:4 and you command victories! Then every time you see 444, let it remind you of the power you have been given to command victories. The days of defeat are done, it is time to command victories, in Jesus Name!!!!!
