ALIEN ON EARTH — Ch 12
Let It All Go!
This thought of living as an Alien of Earth wasn’t bought by me and many of you are aware of this right from the patriarchs to Jesus and all the apostles followed and preached this.
Another thing that many of us have forgotten dearly is this incident that is mentioned by Jesus in the Bible.
Because it is in the same chapter as the “Parable of the Sower” many tend to ignore this.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it” — Matthew 13: 44–46
“Sold all he had” “Sold everything he had”
Do you know what the biggest problem some of us face is? Giving everything up! aka letting it all go (the bad things)
We will give the hardest things up but something small we won’t let go, we will hold on to it, no one can make you give that up and it is completely up to you to give that up.
Nowhere in the Bible does God ask you to give anything that will be beneficial for you. Yet, we find it hard to truly believe that.
But look at these parables Jesus says, in both the cases when the man found the kingdom of heaven which is compared to treasures here, the man joyfully sold everything he got.
When you know God, when your eyes are opened to see the truth of this world, when the Spirit of Truth is guiding you, you will let go of every single thing that can hold you back and it is not that God cannot accept you, but as long as something is there that you cannot let go of, respecting your free will, God will never force you to let go.
So, will you hold on to whatever thing you are holding onto in exchange for the Kingdom of God?
When it comes to God, he loves someone who does things wholeheartedly because he did everything with love and with all his heart he has loved humankind.
You will never see God forcing you to do anything contrary to many people’s beliefs. In Galatians, you will see Paul say the same thing.
“You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough”
Galatians 5:7–9
When the Galatians are being persuaded by the “circumcision group” Paul simply says when it is about the kingdom of God you need not persuade someone because like a little yeast that works through the batch of dough, it will change the hearts of people to see the light.
That is why you will never see Jesus going and preaching to anyone not interested or trying to cause a public spectacle to get attention of all.
Ever wondered if we really had to make Christianity attractive to youngsters or non-believers, wouldn’t Jesus being born as a King and redeeming Israel from Romans would be more efficient in helping people believe him?
Do you ever see in the Bible where God asks you to go and persuade everyone about the Kingdom of Heaven? Nope! Those who are written in Lamb’s Book of Life will be found by the light one way or the other.
If God is able to make children for Abraham out of the stones like Jesus said, then he is definitely able to get the sheep in his flock.
When you look at it that way, you will learn humility. Nothing that has been given to you and will be given to you or nothing you have done or will possibly do can ever make you qualified to enter heaven.

The day you entirely understand that by abundant and pure grace and by the blood of Christ is how we even qualify to enter is when you will be able to let go of all the attachments you have here.
Only then you can truly be an Alien on Earth.
That thing that you cannot let go of where you give an excuse that you do so much for God so it will be excused, yeah that doesn’t work that way.
No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
1 John 3:6
I did not tell you this to guilt you into giving that up, you are massively loved otherwise the Author of Life wouldn’t have come down willingly to lay down his life for you and me, but the thing about this abundant love we have received is we shouldn’t take it for granted don’t you think?
He is patient, he is kind, he is merciful, but our future is not warranted just so we can go on sinning so those of us who keep on putting repentance to next week, can we give account if we are taken today?
“Perfect love drives out fear” so he does not want us to be scared into submission, he wants us to love him wholeheartedly and give up which is harming our souls,
Why won’t we trust the one person on Earth who will not, could, but would not cause us harm?
A mustard seed that is the tiniest of many yet produces a tree of such size, the yeast that is needed in the smallest amount can work through a whole batch of dough, Holy Spirit when let in can work through everything too.
The Kingdom of God isn’t tyrannical, it is the one that loves you so much that thought having the prince sacrifice his life was more worthy than not having friends on Earth.
Ever wondered why God created humans? Revelations 21 will shed light on what God intended when he created human beings.
“Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”
From bringing his dwelling place down in the New Earth to everything he has done to everything he is doing all points to one, he wants to be with us live with us and be our God and want us to be his children.
I don’t know about you I have no complaints I am utterly absolutely and readily available to run around the new Earth with God dwelling there with no sorrows and pain and only joy and peace and I am not throwing that away for these which could only be considered coal before God.
He will chase you to the ends of the Earth, he will leave the 99 to find you yet he will never force you, my Lord is the gentleman of all gentlemen so, yeah no force, but the Holy Spirit will whip you up once you actually repent yeah, he ain’t leaving anything unsaid, he will remind you every tantrum you threw all the stupidity you did until you drill it into your head he telling you them all.
Even when you are just tired, exhausted and want rest, hear it from someone who suffered, do not take rest away from him.
The above stunt was performed by an expert rebel and got the lesson, do not try to imitate.
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
Mark 6:31
By yourselves, yet “with me” to a “quiet place” and “get some rest” Even when it is rest go to him by yourself and get that rest because rest without him is not rest at all.
Do not do anything as they do (the world) that is what we have heard from the Old Testament to the New Testament so do not imitate the world, The Kingdom of Heaven is all you need and should seek.
All these I have told you up until now may be one of the reason or reasons why you cannot be an Alien on Earth, I am not telling you it will be easy to give up or change that’s why you need God.
The more you see his love for you personally the more your heart will yearn for him and what this world could not offer.
Fill your mind with God’s words and see the unwanted attachments leaving, there is no place for darkness when the light has come.
