Did you know that God wants you to wear a golden crown on your head each day? In fact, we can’t live without it. We learn this from the clothing God designed for the high priest. Everything that was written in the Old Testament was written for our learning (Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11). And of course, we are called “kings and priests unto God” (Revelation 1:6; and 5:10).
We read that Aaron had to wear a miter (turban) on his head. God also commanded Moses to make a plate of pure gold into a crown and engrave it with the words, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. Aaron wore the golden crown, which was placed on blue lace and attached to the turban, on his forehead. And he had to wear it CONTINUALLY).
This golden crown was called “THE HOLY CROWN.” It speaks of keeping our minds pure and holy before the Lord. All evil comes through the mind. This is where we are first tempted. Therefore, it is most important to wear our holy crown each day. We don’t wear it physically, but by faith we put on our golden crown of HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
When evil and negative thoughts come to your mind, don’t accept them. When you wear your crown, they will hit the golden crown of holiness and bounce off. When grumbling, complaining, self-pitying, and unbelieving thoughts come to your mind, resist them in the name of Jesus. You have a protective golden crown on your forehead.
Not only did Aaron wear the crown continually, but it had to be saturated with the anointing oil, speaking of the HOLY Spirit. We cannot do this in the power of the flesh, but only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Learn to wear your crown by faith each day. Teach your children this lesson and how to get into the habit of wearing it. Teach them to be proactive about keeping their minds pure. Teach them the truths from the following Scriptures. Encourage them to make them memory verses: Psalm 119:9 11; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5; Philippians 4:8; 1 Peter 13; and James 4:7.
I read Proverbs 4:15 this morning. It reminds us what to do about an evil thought or evil path:
AVOID IT
DON’T GO ON IT
TURN AWAY FROM IT
AND PASS ON!
Be blessed today,

P.S. Read all about the golden crown: Exodus 28:36-38; 29:6, 7; 39:30, 31; and Leviticus 8:9-11.
