Alien Nation
1 Peter 2:11-12 “Dear brothers and sisters,(Peter is talking to fellow believers, Christians, people of The Way) you are foreigners (a by dweller, having a home near, from another place) and aliens (alien alongside, to make oneself home, resident foreigner,) here.(You do not belong here, this planet is not your home. You are only sent here for a short while to complete the Masters Will – a Mission Trip) So I warn you to keep away (abstain, refrain) from evil desires (lusts, especially for what is forbidden, desires of the flesh, sin, worldly living) (Since you are not from here do not act like the rest of the inhabitants of the world act! Be among them but not of them. You have a higher calling. Note carefully that this speaks of more than the ACT of sin, the heart of the issue is the DESIRE to sin. We must deal with and repent of sin BEFORE it becomes an act) because they fight (war, battle) against your very souls (Our “God Module”, The Spirit God breathed into us when we were created)(Your very soul aches when you act like the world. You feel the pressure of conviction press upon you. You feel like you are at war with yourself, you are – Spiritual warfare.). Be careful how you live among your unbelieving neighbors (those still of this world, non-aliens)(Live a life worthy of your status as an alien and that honors your Master. Be careful not to be trapped into a undesirable lifestyle) . Even if they accuse (speak against, slander) you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, (good works, higher morality and character) (live your life without fault so that no charge of sin or evil may be found true in your life. Protect your testimony and witness with vigor. Keep it clean enough so that you are always ready to share it.) and they will believe (Our hope and goal – that others will believe and become aliens also. They must be born again and become the children of God and inherit the Kingdom of God as their Home) and give honor to God when he comes to judge the world.” (When the world is judged they will be found as His Kids and enter into eternity with God, this brings God glory and them eternal life) (NLT)

Alien
Nation
There are aliens on planet earth, millions of us. I am one of these aliens.
Our common goal is to increase our number from the
earthlings that are on this little globe hanging in the heavens.
Here are a few characteristics of the aliens.
Where can you find us?
Aliens are scattered across the four corners of our globe. We are many, we are unified but
unfortunately we are being very quiet.
When will we go home?
When our Ruler calls us Home, we will go.
Can we really “phone home”? Yes, we have a faith based and voice
activated link to our Ruler.
Can I be an alien too? YES! Our Ruler loves you very much and wants you to come Home with us
when He calls.
How? How can you be
saved from the death that awaits all who are of this world? Let our Rulers Words tell us:
Romans 10:9-11
“For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in
your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that
you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you
are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone
who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
(NLT)
We are saved from certain death by Admitting to God
that we are sinners of this world and desire to change; Believing that Jesus
Christ is God’s Son; and, Accepting God’s gift of forgiveness from sin and
Confess Him as your Lord and Savior to others.
Receive
eternal salvation and become a newborn alien!
