Wear Your Crown

Isaiah 28:5-6




"In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
⁶ For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate."




I don't know where I'd be today, if I had not given myself to our Lord in 1995.  This battle I watch daily, as the enemy tries to tare us apart from ourselves and each other, is mind boggling.   (2Corinthians 4:7-10) is my comfort, "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. ⁸ We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—  ¹⁰ always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body."  Verse 5 says, "In that day the Lord of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people,"  This is what can happen when we become living sacrifices for our Lord, when we begin to search our bibles diligently, and walk the walk as our Lord did, that He may manifest Himself in 2016.  If I had not been trying to please our Lord, instead of our world, I'd be an lonely child out here in this cold wilderness.  God says, He has released us among snakes, scorpions, and vipers, sheep's among wolves.  These are the spirits that out here, that join themselves to us and lead us into sin.  There are words and actions, we as God's children are to display to one another, to show each other we belong to Him.  (1John 4:1-2)  "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  ² By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God."  (1John 3:10)  " In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother."  However, if you find no one loving you or God as much as you do, for this indescribable gift He has left us, then agree with God and get the party started.  Where two or three are gathered in His name, He's there in the midst.  God makes One, and you make two, Halleluiah!  Step outside the box with a tone of love in your heart, then give it all to God, and distribute it to others, as you take this awesome journey into paradise.  (Luke10:27-28)  "“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’” do this and you will live.”  God has a protocol that our world is not following, He says, we are in this world, but not of it.  God also says, if we acted and spoke as our world did, the world would love us, but since we don't, they will hate us.  But if God be for us, who can come against us?  I watched myself being judged by heartless sinners, and refused to keep witnessing them kill me slowly.  God is of righteousness and justice, and we must be also.  Verse 6 says, For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate."  God says, one can put a thousand to flight, and two ten thousand.  Our Lord wants us at liberty to praise Him, praise Him for what He has done, can do and will do for us.  Wear your crown.


(Deuteronomy 7:9)  "Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments."


Blessings to all who wear their crown proudly,
