Failure of the Crown of Thorns
HEADLINE:
Genesis 15:13. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed (really My seed) shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs (the bottomless pit of hell), and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14. And also that nation, whom they shall serve (kingdom of devils), will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. (I will draw them to Heaven). (See Acts 10:9-16, 28).
Every human being born into this pit of hell called the earth is immediately “crowned with thornsâ€Â. It is our legacy of captivity by devils in this land (prison house) that is not ours. A “crown of thorns†is a set of devils, that penetrate the mind with evil thoughts which mislead and blind men. They wound men through darkness, error, and sin and finally it pays off in death. Jesus Christ is the “pattern son†who symbolized every man. We are “cell-members†of his body, 1 Corinthians 12:12-25. The act of crucifixion is the passion that all men suffer from our invisible captors. I call this crown of “thought- managing†devils a crown of thorns. Everyone gets a double cross and a crown of thorns down here.
Every infant is conditioned from birth to hear and respond to the thought inputs of these captors. They massage the mind constantly to make men believe “I am thinking and reasoningâ€Â, when we are hearing and seeing ideas instilled by devils. We “hear†voices speaking that only the individual can hear. We see mental scenarios in our heads that only the target person can see. We receive dreams (some tormenting) and visions that only the receiver can experience mentally. And some have wet-dreams from demonic sexual stimulation! From birth we are led by this kind of mental activity to believe “I am thinkingâ€Â, or “I am reasoningâ€Â, when in reality it is actually a thought-complex manipulation by our “crown of thornsâ€Â.
No one can escape wearing a crown of thorns in this pit of hell. It is the means by which the kingdom of devils control men and reign over the human nations. Jesus wore a crown of thorns in crucifixion because it depicts the type of human suffering given to men to endure by our Father. No man can say, “That is not about me†… because it is about you, me, and everyone who is born of God on this earth. You will notice that I said this situation for man is GIVEN BY GOD TO OUR CAPTORS! If it horrifies you, your fear cannot change it! If you don’t want to face it, your resistance is futile! First let us see the scriptural record spelling all this!
The Word-record
2 Samuel 23:6. But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 7. But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
Beliar or belial if the Biblical reference for devils or evil spirits.

Another reference for devils is the following:
Matthew 12:24. But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
My point is Belial and Beelzebub are demonic “THORNS†who control men. Anyone who has had an evil thought, or saw wicked mental fantasies like killing an enemy who just offended, or dreamed wild nightmare-dreams was being penetrated by his crown of thorns. One BIG TASK of the human crown of thorns is to mislead men who seek God. Human churches and ministers are major components of this devilish enterprise. To rule men devils must control the churches and the preachers. They have succeeded as predicted in the scriptures.
Revelation 13:4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
2 Corinthians 11:13. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
As you know the human body is the temple of God! God showed Ezekiel how devils reign in the human mind by forming our mental pictures. In the analogy that follows, the temple is the human body and pictures portrayed on the walls are our mind’s eye or mental screens.
Ezekiel 8:5. Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6. He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 7. And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 8. Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 9. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 10. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 11. And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.
Chambers of imagery is each man’s own head and hence each man’s own mind. All of the above is quoted directly from the Word-record.
In the document “Rule and Reign by Proxyâ€Â, http://kingdomlife.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=846 , I describe how devils and Holy Spirits from Heaven do battle to control the actions of men on earth. Both need control of men to rule and reign on the earth.
GOD GAVE DEVILS control over men
As you know Abraham was an actor playing God’s own role as Father of all nations as an educational drama. Here is how Father revealed His PLAN for all human beings.
Genesis 15:13. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed (really My seed) shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs (the bottomless pit of hell), and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. (I will draw them to Heaven).
Ecclesiastes 1:13. And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
Revelation 17:3. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
Isaiah 47:3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 4. As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 6. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Revelation 18:2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Romans 8:18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
I know some Christians will hate this and say, “God did not do this to meâ€Â! Oh, yes He did! He sent Jesus to show you what He did to all His children. We all have our personal “crown of thorns†who have enslaved us into performing all the evil sin-works in which we were involved.
The WAR, Crown of Stars VS “crown of thornsâ€Â
God poured out His spirit upon all flesh, so all men have angels covering them.
Joel 2:28. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Psalm 91:4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Hebrews 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
From the Hebrews text, we see that we are in a mental battle with devils as depicted in Ezekiel 8. We do not want to listen to and follow our “crown of thorns†and resist the instructions of our angelic “crown of starsâ€Â. Angels can and do become grieved when we resist them, and God allows them to leave us, Ephesians 4:30, Genesis 6:3. If your angels abandon you because you abandoned them, you will “catch hellâ€Â, or be killed in some way! Blessed are all those who learn to follow the Holy Spirit and reject the crown of thorns!
2 Corinthians 10:3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Isaiah 30:21. And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22. Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images (reference to devils on the human body, Matthew 12:43-45) of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Crowns of thorns fail when a man is apprehended by God. He speaks to His children and they hear Him!
John 3:27. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
John 10:4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John 14:23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Isaiah 27:4. Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
So those apprehended by the Father will come as commanded, because He will blow right by the “crown of thorns†(fake holy spirits) and break them into pieces. When and if He calls you out of Babylon (the church system), you will hear Him and follow Him!
Ezekiel 34:7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; 8. As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; 10. Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. 11. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Psalm 31:19. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Jeremiah 17:5. Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

So those apprehended by the Father will come as commanded, because He will blow right by the “crown of thorns†(fake holy spirits) and break them into pieces. When and if He calls you out of Babylon (the church system), you will hear Him and follow Him!
Ezekiel 34:7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; 8. As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; 10. Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. 11. For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Psalm 31:19. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Jeremiah 17:5. Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
