17:16 My mind goes back to 2 Kings. 2 Kings chapter 4, verse number 8. When Elijah was walking along and a woman of affluence was arrested by his aura. I said, I perceive that you are a man of God. She told her husband, don't miss this. She told her husband, let's build a room for him. he is anointed, he has an assignment, he is faithful to what God is calling him to do, hear this, and doesn't have a room.
17:57 And this wealthy woman said, I'm going to build a room for him. But Newberth, here's what I need you to know. She never asked his permission. Nor did she get his consent. She just went to work building something on his behalf. Some of you missed what I just prophesied. You don't know who God is putting on their mind to do something for you. no strings attached, nothing connected to it. They just want to bless you because they can sense it's something on your life and you have not had any room to flow in your gift. I prophesy to 12 of you who are in this space, if you don't mind giving God glory, God is putting you on the heart of somebody who got means on the heart of somebody who can get it done that understand what you carry and they want to do something for you She never said, let's put him in the spare bedroom.
19:16 Never said, let's put him on the pullout couch. She said, let's build a room for him. Some of you are frustrated, antsy, hitting your head up against a cinder block. because you're trying to figure out God promised me something, but I still can't find my place. I still don't know where I'm supposed to be, still can't figure out where I fit in. I can't find my tribe. I can't find my group. I can't find my circle. And I'm seeing other people get married before me. Other people get connected before me. I'm seeing other people walk in their assignment, and I can't figure out why it's taking this long when God promised me he was going to find me my place. and in order for Elijah to get what the woman had for him watch this it took time because she was building it from the ground up I think I lost you.
20:24 He's building something for you. You can't find where you're supposed to be because where you're supposed to be is under construction. A few years ago, a few years ago, don't judge me, it was a few years ago.
20:50 I was in a drive-thru at McDonald's. This was a while ago. It was a while ago. I'm in the drive-thru of McDonald's and I ordered a Big Mac. And I told them, no special sauce. No special sauce. And they said, pull around! Yeah. Nate, that's what they told me, is pull around. And I pulled around, and I paid. I paid. And then the lady at the window said, pull over. I ordered it. I paid. And then she told me, pull over. I pulled over New Birth.
21:43 Y'all ain't going to believe it. And people who were in line behind me came up to the window, got their stuff, and kept going. I didn't say nothing. I kept my cool. And then I saw another car that was behind me get their order and pull off. I tried to keep it together. And then it was a third car that ordered after I ordered. Pull up to the window, get their stuff, and pull off. I couldn't take it no more. I wasn't Pastor Brian. I wasn't Dr. Brian. I started honking my horn because I want to know what the problem is I honked my horn and then somebody came out with a headset and said is everything okay I said no it's not okay I said I made my order I paid for it and somebody behind me got their stuff after me and pulled off but I'm still sitting over here they said I'm not sure what the problem is can I go get the manager I said please go get the manager They went and got the manager in New Birth.
22:59 Y'all ain't going to believe it. I rolled down my window. The manager came over with my bag and said, I'm sorry, sir. I said, no, thank you. I'm glad. I'm glad you brought it out. But I wanted to know what took so long because I ordered before all these other cars, but they got theirs before me. They said, Brother Bryant, you would have got yours. Your problem is yours was special order. if you wanted something regular, you could have got it by everybody else's timetable. Those of y'all that are waiting on regular stuff, get your stuff before me. But if you know there's something I need from God and it's a special order, don't wait till the battle is over. Shout right now like it's on the way.
23:56 be seated please I'm coming I'm coming. Shake somebody's hand. Tell them everything you ordered is on the way. Everything you ask God for is being prepared. Everything you paid for through disappointment and heartbreak and setback and demonic attacks. God said I'm getting ready to give it to you if you wait on God a little while longer it's on the way you may be seated hallelujah I feel glory coming now hallelujah every sister find another sister tell him I didn't order a regular man I need a special order man one that knows how to pray and prophesy One that knows how to speak over my life.
25:11 I didn't ask for nothing regular. bless his holy name i dare to tap the person in front of you tell them i don't want no regular job i need a career something that matches my passion matches my call matches my assignment if I needed a regular job I'd go in LinkedIn but I need where God needs me to be it's a special order Hallelujah.
25:52 Be seated, please. How do I know I'm in my right place? How do I know I'm in my right place? The Bible said they're all in one place. Y'all ain't going to believe it. They're all in one place speaking the same language. but they come from different backgrounds. God says, I'm getting ready to put you in rooms where people speak your language. Come on, y'all ain't saying nothing to me. I want to be in a room where folk are talking about generational wealth. I want to be in a room, y'all ain't saying nothing to me, where people are talking about the road to reparations and the lunacy of white supremacy. I want to be in the room where folk are talking about the gift of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.
26:48 I want to be in the room where folk are excited about their future of their family. I want to be in the room where folk don't mind me talking about the call that's on my life. If two or three are gathered together, y'all ready? touching and agree. I need you to take that neighbor by the hand please real quick and say I hope I'm in the right room. In the next 30 seconds I'm going to be able to tell whether I found my place or not. I want to be in a room where folk don't mind giving God glory and they're not praising him for money cars and clothes. They just shouting because they just want to be in his presence. Now if you can't get excited about the blood and can't get excited about the cross and can't get excited about his resurrection, I'm in the wrong room.
27:51 But if there's anybody that don't mind speaking his language, would you open up your mouth and shout out loud like you need God in this room? You may be seated. I'm almost finished. Hallelujah. You may be seated. I'm coming. Now what happens, what happens when I find my place, when I find my place, the devil loses his place. Thank you. Hallelujah. On this Pentecost Sunday, I came to give the devil an eviction notice. You got one hour to evacuate the premises.
28:50 Wherever you are that I have been assigned by God, you better get out of there by 12 noon. Y'all ain't saying nothing to me. God said when you give me glory I'm driving demons out of your children's bedroom he said when you give me glory whatever's happening in your house is getting ready to be shifted he said when you cry out loud whatever illegal attack is happening in your body is about to be under submission of the Holy Ghost I don't know where you are, but you better put the devil out and let him know you can't have my family. You can't have my mind. You can't have!
29:47 I'm coming around the mountain. Here I come. You may be seated. I only got three more times to tell you that. Be seated, please. Hallelujah I can't find my place Hallelujah You may be seated I beseech you by the love of Christ Jesus You may be seated Having all to stand Be seated Thank you Thank you so very much Hallelujah You don't know how hard it is How agonizing it is how frustrating it is, how isolating it is to be grown and not find your place. Hallelujah.
30:41 Because you don't know where you're supposed to be. You don't know who genuinely has a heart for you. You're conflicted trying to figure out whether you are just existing or is there more to your life than where it is that you are. You have committed psychological suicide that you no longer have anything to look forward to, no longer have any dreams, no longer have any goals. All you have is bills.
31:11 You're tired of being the responsible one and nobody ever checks on you. Tired of always keeping it together and coping and managing, but nobody knows on the inside, I done had three nervous breakdowns. I done trained myself not to cry in public. Y'all ain't saying nothing to me. There are days that I just got to hit the steering wheel. There are nights I just got to barrel my head into the pillow and scream out loud. If I wasn't such a coward, I would have committed suicide. But God keeps cutting the rope down from the string that I wanted to end it all. But God says, I'm getting ready to give you life. And I'm getting ready to help you to find your place. Y'all ain't saying nothing. I came on the war path because I came to annihilate the spirit of suicide. Y'all not hear me. I said I came to annihilate the spirit of suicide.
32:07 In the course of January to June, you entertained suicide because your family rejected you. Your friends were one-sided. Your group was shallow. You couldn't find any significance. And between January and June, you almost convinced yourself it ain't even worth it. But I need you to know that God ordered your steps here today. because you almost didn't come to church. I feel this glory coming now. You almost ended it all, but the devil is a liar. I break the spirit of depression. I break the spirit of anxiety. I break the spirit of self-hatred in this room. Hallelujah. I'm almost finished. Hallelujah. Give me strings, please. I feel this glory coming in two minutes.
33:00 Hallelujah. Keep that stance wherever it is. Keep that stance wherever it is, please. Hallelujah. Those of you who from January to this day, January to this day, attempted suicide, I need you to meet me at this altar. And I need you to come as quickly as you can. The three of you, I'm talking to you right now. I don't care whether you're 13. I don't care if you're 47. I don't care if you're 29. God woke me up last night and told me that you were here.
