Losing Your Head, To Surrender Your Heart

Revelation 20:4"And I saw thrones and they sat upon them,and judgment was given unto them:and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,and for the word of God ,and which had not worshipped the beast,neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or their hands;and they lived and reigned with Christ  a thousand years.

There are many who are lost in the church who truly want so badly to live holy for the Lord.They are lost to who God truly is and what it is he truly requires from us.Many try and apease God the way we apease the people in our life.We try to serve, worship and give to a spiritual God,with a carnal mind. Until we are willing to give up our head,we can't fully give God our heart.

The problem is our head, or carnal mind is enemy to God and the spiritual things He stands for. So it seems everytime we want to give God our all, the carnal mind gives us a reason not to. It tells us things like "it don't take all that" or you don't have to put up with that" or God understands you are only human" and all these things may be true to the will lust and desires of the flesh and the carnal mind, but they hinder us from giving God our whole heart. We must remember God dosn't want our things He wants our whole heart. It is when we give Him our heart that He will give us eternal life. We must come to the realization that the carnal man has no understanding of the spiritual man. The carnal man can't understand suffering for another, can't understand self sacrifice, can't understand losing your life to save it, or the thought of denying ones self taking up a cross and following a crucified savior. So we must be willing to lose our head and let Christ be our head that we might surrender to Him our whole heart.
