Alien!

 It seems amazing to me how much the world is distracted and deceived by its belief in aliens!   Little green men from Mars, unidentified flying saucers, all sorts of strange and weird life forms. The world is obsessed by aliens!

For those of us who believe in Jesus Christ it's amazing that people will believe in anything and everything except the truth. An invisible God not only created us, but loves us and has sacrificed His Son, so that we could be saved from the world, the flesh and the devil and inherit eternal life to have a truly forever and abundant life!

With all the evidence around us it takes more faith to believe in the Creator of all things than to believe in evolution who according to scientific minds climbed out of the sea as fish, turned into birds and then became apes. Now that takes faith!

Jesus taught in John's gospel that God is a spirit and seeks those who will worship him in spirit and truth. The Bible teaches us that God became man who lived for 30 years in obscurity as a man and spent the last three years of his life teaching that those who truly believed in him as Saviour, Redeemer, Lord and God would be born again not in flesh but in spirit. A new creation with a new life, a new personality and promised a forever life.

It Is my assertation and belief that we are the aliens the world so desperately seeks! All the evidence is there in the Bible waiting to be discovered.

Jesus, whilst being interrogated by Pilate said this in John 18 verses 36 to 38, ‘³⁶ Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”  ³⁷ Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”  Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”  ³⁸ Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

In John 15 verses 10 to 25 Jesus talks of the world's hatred to those born again through and in him. ‘ ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. ¹¹ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another.  ¹⁸ “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

From Genesis to Revelation the lovers of God and disciples of Jesus Christ are persecuted and hated. The Bible call the people of God as aliens, strangers, sojourners, pilgrims, foreigners, refugees, transients, outsiders, etc, etc.

The Bible teaches that those who are born again join Jesus in being taken out of this world and seated with him by faith in heavenly places. The Christian disciple is a new creation under no condemnation: by faith in Christ, by my complete surrender of all that I am to the lordship and rule and reign of Christ in my life God pours his grace and favour on me through and by the Holy Spirit who inhabits my heart. Becoming a Christian and being a Christian is a process that requires A continuous faith, trust, hope and love of him and in him it is not I who lives now but Christ who lives in me the hope of glory. The old man of the flesh has died away the new being now reigns in me! Not only in my heart made flesh and not stone but my mind is renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit how can I know this? In one Corinthians 2 verses 1 to 16 it says, ‘And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. ² For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. ³ I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. ⁴ And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, ⁵ that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.  ⁶ However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. ⁷ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, ⁸ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  ⁹ But as it is written:  “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,  Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”  ¹⁰ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.  ¹³ These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. ¹⁴ But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. ¹⁶ For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.’

Paul here teaches by and through the Holy Spirit that discernment of God can only be received by faith in God through Christ Jesus. Those of us truly born again can only truly know God by faith. Faith is foolishness by those who are perishing and only those truly born again can know and receive the things of God. Faith is the gateway to new life, but the way is a narrow way. It is only through faith in Jesus that we obtain the grace of God and new life. In Luke 23 verses 39 to 43 is where the thief cross acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah, and the Christ and Lord of all and even on the cross dying Jesus promises paradise to the one who believes! ‘³⁹ Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, ^[j]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”  ⁴⁰ But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” ⁴² Then he said ^[k]to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”  ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Eden,Paradise, the unseen Kingdom of heaven: a place outside time and space where there is no more death or hell or Satan. No pain, no tears, no sadness, the heavenly home of those predestined by God to those who believe and surrender all to follow the All in all,  in Hebrews 12 verses 22 to 24 (Revelation 21 verses 1 to 27 and Revelation 22 verses 1 to 5), ‘²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, ²⁴ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.’

The new heaven and the new earth recreated and uncorrupted a place of eternal life, light and love.

So do I believe in aliens?

 I cannot do otherwise because I am one! And all who believe in Jesus Christ as the eternal son of God and of the great I am, who have accepted the truth by faith in father, spirit and Holy Ghost does the same. Many in the world today believe in the lies and the distractions and deceptions of the devil, focused on what is outside man, but the true alien believes in the invisible, what is within the spirit and sometimes soon all that has been written will come to pass in Jesus name Amen.
