Bibles would you stand to your feet please won't you go to Matthew's Gospel chapter 26 first book of the New Testament Matthew 26 if you have Malachi keep going Matthew 26 69 through 74 houses and holds our text once you found her once you say I have it if you can't find it say lord help me Matthew 26 would you read silently as I read aloud now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard and a servant girl came to him you also were with Jesus of Galilee she said but he denied it before them all I don't know what you're talking about then he went out to the Gateway where another servant girl saw him and said to the people this guy was with Jesus he denied it again and said I don't know the man after a little while those who were standing there went up to Peter and said surely you're one of them it's your accent that gives you away then he began to call down curses and he swore to them I don't know the man and then immediately the rooster crowed you may be seated then he went out into the Gateway and another servant girl saw him and said to the people this fellow was with him I want to preach for a little while this morning use using as a subject I don't fool with a lot of people would you look at the person beside you tell them I can preach this sermon that night Oh fool with a lot of people the founder of Apple computers Steve Jobs delivering a commencement address before succumbing to cancer charged up the graduates by saying here's to the crazy ones The Misfits the rebels the troublemakers the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently they're not fond of the rules you can quote them disagree with them but you can't ignore them they push the race forward and while some may see them as the crazy ones we see genius because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do this message this sermon is for those who have a challenge connecting with other people you can't fit into most groups you are hard to impress you are not the type to be jealous you can't see competition and you feel no threat most people are thermometers but you are a thermostat a thermometer just reads the temperature in the room but a thermostat sets the temperature for the room in other words the entire room changes simply because you show up when you walk in the room people try to figure out who you are what title you have who you came with how you survive what's your story they have no idea that you don't even know how you got in the room yourself but by the grace of God the hardest thing you can ever attempt in life is not being yourself did you hear what I just said the hardest thing that you can ever attempt in life is not being yourself Shakespeare advised to thine own self be true assimilating to what society suggests is normal can be a weapon of psychological torture if you aren't careful you will become an actor on a stage full of pretenders you can end up picking activities that align with acceptance and don't match passion you begin wearing clothes that aren't consistent with your tastes and regrettably we live in a culture where to be different is an act of resistance we win that you are not living your truth you end up dying alive because you will not admit that you are a misfit you force friendships you choreograph conversations you become intentional to appear sociable and you smile so that observers won't feel alarmed that modern-day prophet Kendrick Lamar they said all my life I had to fight so a lot of times you end up spending time alone and it's not punishment it's a retreat because by yourself is the only place where you can feel safe and folk who really don't understand the anatomy of your character falsely ascribe you to be arrogant stuck-up and standoffish and they don't understand in this season of my life I am just drained from having to dummy down my intelligence just so mediocre people can feel comfortable while everyone seems to enjoy movies you would rather go to a play that actually has a plot to hear poetry friends want you to meet at a restaurant but you'd rather stay in and try new recipes you just don't get you set any fulfillment from useless hours on Facebook you'd rather read a book or actually have a conversation the radio is unand inundated with trent music but your contentment is enjoy jazz Neal soul and afropunk everyone dresses straight out of Nordstrom's and Belk and Macy's but for what you're looking for you can only find it online the complexity of your personality has a very low tolerance for stupidity so you get angry when people are talking about trivial matters that really have no substance or ground egg and they don't understand in this season of your life you are not caught up in TMZ and you don't even care what socialites are doing because you understand as far as you are concerned your life and your children and your family of the only things that matter I'm talking to grown up to a tired of immature adults who act like children you you've got an attitude because I didn't speak to you and what you don't know is I didn't even see you my man was on something else and I'm trying to operate at a different dimension all you do is try to find somebody in whom you can come into agreement with because you have in fact found that a lot of friendships are like milk they are healthy until they meet their expiration date and then when you keep them past their time they will funk up the whole house so you get frustrated sitting at tables with people you have nothing in common with and the only thing that they can talk about is the past but the only thing you have a burden for is the future and I'm talking to some people that have come up here to its conclusion into your own life that in this season right now I'm my own best friend so I learned how to encourage myself how to challenge myself how to stretch myself I am comfortable enough to take myself out to eat to go to the movies by myself I don't need a bunch of folk running in and out of my house because I am at peace with being by myself and the grounding that God has given me Carolyn steamer Carolyn steamer wrote a blog for bustled dot-com entitled eleven reasons why you don't fit in eleven reasons why you don't fit in and what to do about it the first reason why you don't fit in is because you still don't realize that friends have changed friends have changed they're married and you're single you're single and they're married friends have changed you're now looking for a career and all they want is a job friends have changed they take delight in bags and shoes and now you're thinking about investments and savings and legacy friends have changed you now want a deeper relationship with God and they just want to go to church friends have changed because now you're looking for aspirational goals and they're just looking for lateral advancement you want to network and they want to hang out friendships have change don't forget that some friends of Four Seasons summer for a reason and some are for a lifetime Seth Godin in his book tribes says that everyone must find watch this people that can connect to your ideas your conviction and your passion many of us have upgraded associates prematurely they are really not your friend they're just people you hang out with when you're bored social media has deluded and bastardize the understanding of friendship because friendship used to have a requirement of experience and time and commonality and now the only thing is that is required is that you click a button and now at you're grown mature level you get upset and rather than have a conversation you unfriend and block you have to have comfortability in your own uniqueness without renting and leasing other people's approval when you get up in the morning you got to make up in your mind if nobody else likes this I'm winning if nobody else wears their hair like this this is what I want if nobody else understands the reason why I've got a downsize and my downsize is not a downgrade it is a mature decision about the financial predicament I found myself in and so I am no longer trying to impress people with money I don't have a watch this with people who are really broken in me I need God to put me in a circle of people that I can expose my nakedness to and they won't judge me but they'll love me in spite of my frailty in spite of my brokenness in spite of my inadequacy they can know who I really am and still make the decision to love what I represent you gotta embrace your own your own uniqueness Nikki Giovanni's poem ego tripping his subtitle there may be a reason why many people watch this you've got to get to a place where you stop apologizing for having an ego because with the grace of God that is on you why should you battle with low self-esteem I'm talking to 500 of you who are in this room who have the nerve enough to be broke and fly [Applause] yeah to judge you what I just said people can't understand how you did fly and you that broke and they don't understand this is just God cuz this ain't even new this skirt don't even go with this top I just switch some stuff around because I know what it is to suffer with him and rain it's reason why you got an ego you got an ego because you understand if God be for me who can be against me this there's a reason you got an ego I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me there's a reason why family members don't get you because the Bible says when my mother and my father forsake me that's the time that the Lord will lift me up you got a reason to have a ego you got everything you have and you didn't have to sleep with nobody you didn't have to compromise your character you didn't have to reduce your integrity but you understood if you're faithful over few things you'll make your ruler you have to stop participating in the tug-of-war between trying too hard and not trying at all and many of you who are in this room that's where you're wrestling you either do too much or you don't do enough and your problem is you've been burned too many times from people who you win over and Beyond for and now you do the absolute least and you expect the most Paul said when I would do good it's Eve all dead steps in the way can I tell you you got folk who are threatened by you and ain't even seen the whole package god help me here you hating on me and you don't even know I'm unhappy what you gonna do when God gives me the desires of my heart and I start working in my purpose and my assignment and fulfill the call of God on my life this is how you function and people who don't know you don't even understand and don't know how to interpret you're either all-in or you don't care I'm tell you you know I'm through when I stop care I need 50 y'all don't y'all leave me out here the moment I turn it off you are in trouble we don't need to go to lunch you don't need to text me we don't need to sit down y'all they saying nothing and here's the memo I'm not mad I'm just finished and you should've valued me while I was still invested in the process [Applause] it's no in-between with you no in between would you look at the person beside you tell them pray with pray for me pray for me look back at them tell them ain't nothin wrong with me I just show everything on my face I try not to but you know when I'm perturb you you know when I got ahead it - you know when I done hit a brick wall pray for my facial expression I want you to know you're not the only one Ecclesiastes reminds us that there's nothing new Under the Sun and I'm still amazed bewildered and perplexed by Jesus amongst his recruits we'll pick somebody rough around the edges of all the people that he picked I don't know why he picked Peter he didn't have the polish of the other disciples didn't have the pedigree didn't have the upper earring he's the only one of the disciples that got in it through the welfare-to-work program I'm talking to the first three rows I'm talking to the last five here's those crazy y'all ain't gonna believe it he's hood in a disciple [Applause] y'all-y'all

he uh he carried a switchblade and casting out demons five thousand of y'all y'all better stand with me he can speak in tongues and cuffs [Applause] he can lay hands or you can catch hands be seated I'm talking to the first three rows I'm talking to the last five rows I'm talking to those of us last five rows that y'all dare please don't leave me I'm I'm looking for those of y'all that hood and holy but those of us that live somewhere between praises what I do and we cannot give you both we some [Applause] I got a new hood holding people in the room any hood yeah I got a tattoo on my neck and I still got Jesus in my heart I don't really feel comfortable in church but I've outgrown the club y'all y'all ain't saying nothin Oh wretched man that I am so I don't even know them songs that the choir be singing I don't know winter stand up I don't know when to sit down I put on my good court jeans to come to church y'all ain't sayin nothin I don't know how to dance but I'll run around the building if I feel something in the Holy Ghost don't you dare judge me because I don't look searching like you but I came through some stuff I know if it had not been [Applause] Jesus saw he was from the hood so he said I gotta talk to him a little bit different he didn't come up through Sunday school didn't go to Vacation Bible School says P done I know you from the hood it's an unwritten law no snitching I get it but but in this hour the rules change from the street to the sanctuary is you can't go around here denying that you know me I've been too good to you so I don't know how it is that you now got this good corporate job but you won't say grace in the restaurant y'all ain't sayin nothin to me I I know you sitting around and you got a master's degree and you went up to Emory and went to Clark and Georgia Tech and Georgia State and you sitting here acting like you got that job by yourself when you don't even know I was opening doors for you that nobody could even reach the knob for you you don't sit in church not you watching the Symphony Orchestra as if I didn't die for you and didn't make a sacrifice for you while we were yet sinners Christ [Music] so Peter listen if you rollin with me don't deny me you can meet me in the mall that's going down I want you to talk about me and Walmart in the gas station in the waiting room at your doctor's office I I said I wasn't gonna tell nobody but I just can't keep it to myself is there anybody other than me that's not ashamed to be with Jesus not not ashamed to claim him as the lord of your life I said I don't want you to deny and Peter acted like a lot of our friends ain't ever gonna play you I'm different I changed that was the old me the Lord said no huh you gonna deny me and you ain't even gonna do it once you're gonna do it three time Peter stopped crying said Lord no you got me twisted I never gonna treat you like that you took me in when the rest of them wanted to put me out and I'm grateful and all that was good until Jesus got arrested and when Jesus got arrested he's now headed towards crucifixion and the disciples scattered everybody stayed with him when Jesus was popular everybody wanted to be in this circle as long as his name was in the paper and he feeding everybody but the moment his back is up against the wall he finds out where his real friends are I want to tell you this I hope y'all know shout with me you want to thank God watch this put a real friends that got you when things get rough the real people that love you with no strings attached they arrest Jesus when they arrest him everybody scatters and even Peter trying to hide out the hood disciple the one that carried his switchblade wanted to know how to cuss the one that's in the boat and said master if there's you let me come to where you are that one now he hanging out by the campfire hoping nobody will recognize him he's incog-negro keeping his hair down and nobody recognized him Newburg nobody recognized him until he got close to fire when he got close to the fire they began to figure out who he was because who you are to God does not become exposed until you get close to some fire in your life sitting at home working on this sermon and couldn't pull it together was congested the last two Sundays one of our members brought me some herbal tea said pastor take this when you get home and first lady she brought me tea but I know her so I wasn't drinking it how'd you left it right on the counter in my house so lord I don't know who this lady is giving me tea telling me drinking when I get home why can't I drink it at the church I need witnesses around in case it's a side effect so I'm working on my sermon preparing to come to you what to do why they would expose you what they identify you when you get close to fire I'm sitting at my desk and I started hearing the sound in my kitchen sound in my kitchen kept saying use me now y'all got I'm saying I lived by myself and I don't do drugs anymore [Applause] and I kept here came hearing this sound saying use me y'all I live by myself so I'm looking around trying to figure out where this voice is coming from because it ain't the voice of God I'm not in prayer I go in my kitchen and this that there's a that a tea bag that lady gave me from church I picked up the tea bag I said is that you talking to me to back say yeah use me yes I'm really tripping I said how how can how can I use you he said pastor turned the teapot on I turn the tea powder on say go get an empty cup I got the empty cup he said wait till you see steam coming out I waited for the steam to come out he said now once it's hot pour it into the cup I poured it in the cup said now what you want me to do he said put me in it I want to preach for you I said what you mean I want to preach for you he said it's a whole lot of good stuff in me but it's no value while it's just sitting here if you ever put me in hot water everything that's in me will stop coming out god I came to talk to some believers that don't even know the enemy messed up women were Jay in hot water that's when your gear that's when your gift beginning to work yes the last thing you ought to do to a believers put them in fire there were three Hebrew boys Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and because they wouldn't bow down King Trump I mean Nebuchadnezzar turned up the furnace seven times odda and said throw them in the fire Shadrach Meshach and Abednego didn't beg for their life they said you must not know where no that anointing don't work until your flowers in the fire some believers in here then notifier ting kill you the fire only cultivated shoo [Applause] [Applause] one to the fire they recognize them and said you were with Jesus and Peter said now I want me you got the wrong guy how fool would allow people I keep to myself and they believed him but Peter made a mistake the mistake pr2 made was he started talking in a little girl who was standing by the fire says I know he was whittled how do you know that Peter was Willow she said I got the evidence y'all not gonna believe in Newberg he sounds like him that when he talks it sounds like the voice of God and the only thing that I was wondering is what did Peter say that sounded like God maybe he said John 14 and 14 if you asked anything in my name it shall be done look at the person beside you tell them be careful this power of life and death in your tongue whatever you ask for today is getting ready to happen what whatever you ask for today it's getting ready to make sense what you may not know is that the great illusionists the great magician Houdini I don't know whether you realize it or not but um Houdini was a devout Christian and he was an escape artist an illusionist and secularists called him a magician but Houdini while performing great feats would use one word that comes out of the Aramaic the native tongue of Jesus here's the word that Houdini would use I don't know whether you've heard it before that word is abracadabra and all these years you didn't even know what that word meant abracadabra translates to mean you shall have what you said god I can't hear nobody in here I'm telling you new birth if you don't want nothing don't say nothing but whatever you are expecting God to do this is the moment you are to open up your mouth like you expect to say whatever you say I expect to see my children blessed I expect to see know what he said maybe he said John Ford 13 and 14 and when he said that he sounded like Jesus what did Jesus say in John 4 13 and 14 when he said to them is what I say to you you'll never first to get I need your hand to be lifted because I need you to understand what that means you'll never be needy again you'll never be desperate and hard-up every day in your life you will never have to beg nobody to help you you but you'll be in the front of the line you'll never bounce another check in your life you will laugh first again I'll need nothing hallelujah that's your testimony by way of faith I need just 3,000 of you to shout it out loud I don't need nothing I'm almost finished I need you to be seated please if you want to I wonder what Peter said that sounded like Jesus when I argue forthrightly with the text for the ambiguity I'm never telling us exactly what he said so today I want to take isogenic a license and import my own presumption of what Peter said that sounded like Jesus and not only is Peter saying it but today every person in this room is gonna say it and I'm telling you you're going to operate in absolute apostolic authority that when you speak it there's gonna be an immediate effect and result connected to it I hope y'all are ready for it only the worshipers are gonna get it only those who are not afraid of the glorious gospel of Jesus are gonna be able to shout about it can I tell you what he said he said Ceylan get thee behind me and I did both of you [Music] I need you to lift up that hand nothing is standing in your way to sweep nothing is blocking you this week nothing is holding you back this week I need you all over this room I want to make an announcement and if you sit still something is wrong with you I declare word of the Lord over every believing in this room as of this moment Satan is under your feet [Applause] [Music] something has [Music] this week sound like God what I'm gonna say to you it's gonna upset church people cuss out people with Scripture he prepares the table in the presence of my enemies come on I can't kill nobody look at them like they're crazy and tell them no weapons formed against me lift up that hand this is Hall The Misfits all the crazy ones other graphical dreamers all the dangerous believers those of you who haven't found your tribe you don't fool with a lot of people you keep your circle small you mind your business I can't hear no real worshipers in here I'm gonna pray for you an unusual prayer I'm gonna pray that God will not send a bunch of people in your life I pray over every lifted hand that God will send you people that get you y'all ain't say nothin in here people dare to speak your language who understands your heart who are careful with your emotions I'm praying that God will not give you a bunch of friends but if you can get two or three real ride-or-die that's gonna stick with you in the trench lift up that hand I want to pray for you why you keep trying to fit in when you are no need to stand out you are never supposed to be in the clip so I don't know why you're surprised by rejection you were never supposed to be with them you are one woman sorority or one man fraternity I can't hear nobody you pledged yourself by trusting the wrong people on you you went to everything to prove what's this

bless furlough workers she said I hadn't gone to church in a long time and I stopped going to church because I believe that the church wasn't helping people but what I saw you all do raised my faith

College our goal was ten thousand and because of your christ-like compassion we sent to Bennett College sixteen thousand nine hundred and eleven dollars and because the new birth leads when the part of any campaign no other Church did it we stepped out and did it and everybody else followed soon after we raised offering for the furlough workers in their area by raiding offering we ain't mad that's what leaders do come on I can't hear nobody leaders lead amen raise that offering senator Bennett College because we did that three other churches sent a seed of ten thousand dollars true story I'm in my office here on win-wins day Wednesday and I get a call from Nashville Tennessee saying pastor Bryant we saw what you did for being a college and we're encouraged by you and believe that if the nonprofit community can do that and the corporate community has a responsibility they said is there any way you can get us connected to the president of Bennett College we want to make a donation because we saw what you did and we want to be attached to what new birth just gave to clicked over we got the president of Bennett College on the phone and because new birth leads Papa John's Pizza

boo to get it together amen so what it is that we're going to do is we're asking members to a donate their old wedding dresses as well as we're giving bridal boutiques to donate gowns for us as well as tuxedo shops we've got four or five wedding coordinators right here in our church our photographers are gonna be on debt are we gonna use caterers from right in the community do a mass reception right after service but we want to unite in holy matrimony fifty couples in one day so when it is that we really promote family life we deal with issues that the church doesn't discuss HIV y'all ain't
