THEY INFORM
TO DEFORM
WITCH'S BREW
NICE AND WARM
Tried to put us in their pot, but we wouldn’t fit.
Told to toe a sacred line, but we couldn’t find it.
Tried until we almost died, but we couldn’t do it.
Finally went out of our minds, became Messiah's misfits.
DON'T CONFORM
TO THE SWARM
MIND OF CHRIST
BE TRANSFORMED
They said to bid our pain adieu, ice pick will reform.
Came to make our life a stew, driven to perform.
Upon our flesh they want to chew, the pot is nice and warm.
Consume our brain - like fondue, WE WILL NOT CONFORM!
Got the fire blazing hot, and they came to find us.
Hounded us till we were shot, but they couldn’t bind us.
Disemboweled and left to rot, but couldn’t grind us.
WE WILL NOT GET IN THE POT, we’re Messiah’s misfits.

1 Cor 4:9-10
9 It seems to me that God has put us who bear his Message on stage in a theater in which no one wants to buy a ticket. We're something everyone stands around and stares at, like an accident in the street. 10 We're the Messiah's misfits.

1 Sam 22:1-2
22 So David got away and escaped to the Cave of Adullam. When his brothers and others associated with his family heard where he was, they came down and joined him. 2 Not only that, but all who were down on their luck came around — losers and vagrants and misfits of all sorts. David became their leader. There were about four hundred in all.
MES
Luke 14:12-14
12 Then he turned to the host. "The next time you put on a dinner, don't just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. 13 Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. 14 You'll be — and experience — a blessing. They won't be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned — oh, how it will be returned! — at the resurrection of God's people."
MES
Luke 14:21
21 "The servant went back and told the master what had happened. He was outraged and told the servant, 'Quickly, get out into the city streets and alleys. Collect all who look like they need a square meal, all the misfits and homeless and wretched you can lay your hands on, and bring them here.'
MES
Matt 22:1-10
22 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."' 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' 10 So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
NKJV
Phil 3:20-21
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
NKJV
2 Cor 3:17-18
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
