4:44

Post by PurestPlace »

Help :)


Does anyone have any Holy Spirit insights or revelations concerning the numbers 4:44.

I see this ALOT and for a long time. I've found the verse in John 4:44 where it says "For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country."

I don't know that this is what God is trying to show me. I don't believe I hold a "prophetic office" though I might flow somewhat prophetically.
I just sense that it could be something else.


Thank You Much

Last night I was told that alot of people who have prophetic dreams are appointed in this office somehow. Pray and see what God says about it though....

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!

I'm still learning about all the gifts.

The fivefold ministry gifts would be like the Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Evangelist, Pastor. (maybe not in this order)

I don't think I hold the office of a Prophet is what I was trying to get across.
Though there is the gift of prophecy.
But, I am also still seeking to know where and if I fit in the fivefold ministry.

Hello PurestPlace. There was a time not so long ago when I was seeing 4:44 coming and going. Papa had my full undivided attention but I still had no idea what He was saying. I kept pressing in and on 07/05/06 I shared this experience...
I have been praying fervently for someone who is near & dear to me, that Father will direct this one's steps back to the path He has chosen. I woke up in the wee hours this morning praying in the spirit for this person when I felt compelled to get up and look at the clock. The time was 4:44 am.
I received some excellent insight and poured over the offerings, meditated on the scriptures, but it was only very recently that I was able to put the pieces together. I'm feeling led to share part of my experience here so perhaps you might glean something from it? Anyway, Here's what Papa was saying to me... the abbreviated version at least..

444 represents a season of testing/trials [4=season; 40=test/trial; 100=fullness/completion]. In my own situation, this season was a trial for my loved one and a test for me. It was hard on both counts. So very, very hard. But so worth it. A bit of digging turned up this:

Strong's #444 ('alach) to be corrupt morally, tainted; become filthy

Strong's #445 ('Elchanan) "God has been gracious"

I could write a book here, but suffice it to say, I fainted and God sent help in my time of need. The trial/test was long and I was battle weary. But my God is ever gracious and we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.

bless you,
discerning

Discerning :)

This makes alot of sense to me. I met and married my husband in the church. He was wounded and left. It's been over 3.5 years and there have been "wars" over me continuing to go. I continue to pray for my husband to be reconcilled to God and The Body of Christ. I must say that I've endured much persecution from him but God has been teaching me how to stand quietly when my ears are being blasted by the accusations and character cuts from the enemy. My husband finally asked to go with me 2 Sundays ago.
However, during church, the enemy tried again to use someone from this body to discourage my husband. That could've been the final straw. I felt led, after service, to confront this person infront of my husband so that clarification would be brought to this situation. It was very uncomfortable because I AM NOT a confrontational kind of person but I AM CONTENDING for my husband and family! I know it was the enemy because this person didn't even realize what he had said. And of course, my husband is still very cautious and perhaps is still "looking" for reasons that will back up his choice not to be part of a church body. I must say that my husband was quite shocked that I would confront this situation the way I did. It hasn't been my nature...ever, until now.
He hasn't returned since that Sunday...but I continue to pray, contend and believe!
Maybe THIS is what The Lord is trying to explain to me.
Thank you for sharing your depth of study concerning the 4:44.
