"The Thorned Crown Company”

Matthew 27:28-29

28They stripped off his clothing and placed a scarlet robe on him to make fun of him. 29Then they braided a crown of thorns and forcefully shoved it onto his head. After placing a reed staff in his right hand, they knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”

Isaiah 66:7-9

⁠

7

⁠

“Before she was in labor, she gave birth;

before her pain came upon her she delivered a son.

⁠

8

⁠

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?

Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?

For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her children.

⁠

9

⁠

Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?” says the LORD;

“shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?” says your God.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

7I have fought an excellent fight. I have finished my full course with all my might and I’ve kept my heart full of faith. 8There’s a crown of righteousness waiting in heaven for me, and I know that my Lord will reward me on his day of righteous judgment. And this crown is not only waiting for me, but for all who love and long for his unveiling.

I heard the Lord say, "The baby is crowning. It is time for the Thorned Crown Company to arise!"

Friends, creation is longing and groaning for the revealing of the Sons of God (Romans 8) You have been chosen by the Father to be part of this special company. You were not chosen because of your stature or merits, but because of your faith in the shed blood of Messiah.

The Lord says, "I have seen your trials and afflictions. I know the reason behind each and every tear you’ve cried. The pain you’ve experienced has made your heart tender. And now the hour has come for you to receive your reward. It is time for the baby to come forth."

Friends, God is birthing within you new life. And this new life is the very life of His Son. Every demon in hell will try to destroy "the firstborn" coming forth within you. Do not let him. The war at hand is one for the most precious real estate on the earth. And that real estate is your mind.

Father has a plan to protect this precious land. And that is to offer you a crown. This crown is not one made of gold and silver. But one made of thorns.

Today, He is prophetically setting the crown of thorns upon your head for your protection. As this crown sits upon your head, your mind will be protected from every vile attack from the enemy.

When Yeshua died on the cross, a nation was born. And you are a citizen of that nation, alongside everyone who is longing for his appearing. The citizens of this nation are "new creatures." They are the "many brothers" of which Yeshua is the Firstborn. They are the company wearing the crown of thorns.

As the world births its citizens made after its image, God is birthing His, made after His image.

Friends, You must first put on the crown of thorns if you are to rule and reign with Messiah. You must be crucified with Christ, in order that you might be glorified with Him.

The crown of thorns is a gift.

And it comes from the hand of the Good Shepherd. You must view the crown of thorns as a "fence" around a sheepfold. It exists to protect the sheep from predators who come to steal kill and destroy. (John 10) God is giving you this crown so that your mind might be transformed. He is offering you this gift to help you take every thought captive and make it obedient to Messiah. He is offering you this gift that you might know Him more intimately. This gift is for your protection.

Today, receive the crown of thorns. Let every rejection, betrayal, and attack from the enemy pierce itself by the thorns upon your head. As you live a life identified with Messiah in His crucifixion, remember that you will also live eternal life identified with Him in His Kingship.

Friends, the baby is crowning! Do you perceive it?

The vision you’ve been given is soon to burst forth. A nation was born in a day 2000 years ago. And now, you will live to see it arise to a greater place of influence in the earth.

It is time for the “thorned crown company” to arise!

Our Prayer

Father, we receive this gift of the crown of thorns. We desire to be made more like your Son Yeshua. Give us a renewed mind. Write upon it your commandments that we might worship you in Spirit and Truth. Make us a nation of Overcomers. As the enemies arrows fly, let your crown of righteousness be our defense. We love because you first loved us. We embrace all manner of rejection in order that we might know you in your suffering. Today, we take back the precious real estate of our minds, by your blood! Today we will tear down every idol, destroy every intruder, and cleanse the land from all that would seek to war against your plans and purposes for our lives. Father, into your hands we commit our spirits. Make us new today. We are here at your feet.

A Word from Our Father

My child, as the world builds its kingdoms. I am building mine. There crowns are made of precious metals, mine is made of a braided crown of thorns. For a season it may appear as if the worldly kingdom will overtake my Kingdom. Let me assure you, it will not. I am building a nation that cannot be destroyed. I am building a Kingdom which expresses the fullness of my identity in holiness. And you possess this Kingdom. It is within you. My son/daughter, every Kingdom must fight for its rightful place of ownership. It is the same with my Kingdom. Today, you must fight against the lies coming against your identify. You must fight against worldly lusts and temptations. You must fight against the traditions and doctrines of men. You must fight against the influence of apostate religion practiced in my Name. Fight from the place of victory. Fight with the crown of thorns upon your head. Do this my friends and you will experience breakthrough and newness of life. And you will gain not only the right to rule and reign with me, but you will gain deep insight into the very nature and character of your Brother, my Son Yeshua. I have spoken.

Devotional Song

As we worship this morning, may the Father give us a “single mind.” To know Him the One True God, and Yeshua whom He has sent! Give us your mind Oh God!
