Not In My House

0:00 Brace yourself and buckle up. You are about to hear a life-changing, history-making, world-defining message from the New Birth Podcast. Tell everybody you know, things will never be the same. Luke chapter 10 verse 38. Let's read together with uplifted voices, everybody. As Jesus and his disciples were on their way. bless the lord i want us to read that again with a little bit more energy uh behind it come on everybody as jesus and his disciples Amen. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. I want to preach for a little while today using as a subject, not in my house.

0:58 Not in my house. Elbow the person beside you, tell them I can preach this sermon. Amen. Amen. Bless the Lord. Somebody shout it out loud. Not in my house. In the heart of Arkansas, construction is presently underway for a ethno-nationalist living community called Return to the Land. this new construction project you're not going to believe it as we are in 2025 is for whites only the membership driven plots are reserved for those with European ancestry only the residents must sign a uniformed agreement that opposes multiculturalism mixed marriages, immigration, and no person who is not a Christian.

2:18 The demand on these 150 acres is so heavy that they are now about to expand from Arkansas to Missouri. In the center of the town is a community center, a schoolhouse, and of course, a church. What will be preached there will probably not be a surprise to any of us. The news is covering it as if white-only housing in America is a new commodity. When truth be told, it is a centuries-old reality. By and large, for black families, getting a slice of the American pie has borne us not much fruit, but has left us holding a lot of crust.

3:22 One of the fundamentals for financial security is home ownership. Sorrowfully, the racial home ownership gap is a direct result of historic and systemic barriers. discriminatory policies predatory lending redlining racial covenants and unequal access to mortgage loans have been obstacles to securing keys and deeds as of 2022 black home ownership stands at 45% whereas for whites, it's 75%. In urban centers, some realty firms are now completely dedicated just to renting.

4:26 I want to pronounce boldly that home ownership is a revolutionary act because when a family owns a home, It accumulates equity and represents black generational wealth. 58% hear me clearly 58% of black families rent compared to 27% of white families you can't pass down what you rent I want you to be able to pass something for your children so that they will not be overlooked in the future. You can pass down a home, but you cannot pass down a lease.

5:30 Renting makes you a neighbor to poverty, and they know it. Institutional investors now own one in seven homes in metro Atlanta. landlords in low-income areas file evictions at five times the national average because they know you don't have a lawyer. Rent payments, I need you to hear this, rent payments aren't counted towards your credit score, but mispayments are. are. In certain instances, people in our community are spending upwards of 50% of their income just to stay housed. The median net worth of white households is $250,000, while the median net worth of black households is 24,000. And the key indicator is the absence of home ownership.

6:45 There is a 10 to 1 wealth gap, which in large measure points to disparities in home ownership. I was disillusioned by this 10 to 1 wealth gap until I read Deuteronomy 1 and 11. Deuteronomy 1 and 11 is now what I want to speak over your family, over your bloodline, and over your unborn generations. Would you lift up that hand as I declare over you what God said to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy 1 and 11. may the Lord the God of your ancestors increase your numbers 1,000 more and may he bless you as he has promised I'm going to declare it again I need you to declare it lift up that hand you get ready to miss the blessing I'm speaking over your family in case you're missing what I am declaring you are the last of your family that will be renters. You are the last of your family that will have a landlord. You are the last of your family that will ever see an eviction notification. You are the last of your family that will have to pay into somebody else's family.

8:14 I now decree over every lifted hand, Deuteronomy 1 and 11, may the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase your numbers 1,000 more. And may he bless you with everything he promised your great grandmother. and those of you that receive the word of the Lord over your family I want you to shout about it right now that God is releasing real estate to your family You may be seated.

8:55 The side effects of home ownership is undeniable. The side effects of home ownership is undeniable. As studies show, homeowners report lower stress levels. Homeowners have higher contentment. homeowners have a place of belonging and multiplied stability i want you to lift up that hand please third john verse two is what i now utter over you i wish above all things that you will prosper that you will be in health even as your soul prospers i want you to wave that hand even as it's lifted. I am not just speaking about real estate. I want you to have a place of peace. I want you to have a place that where you go to, you'll be able to feel the presence of God and feel the glory of God. I'm praying that God will set up tabernacle at your address, that angels will be coming up and will be going down, that there'll be no sickness in your house, no strife in your house, no contention in your house, that your marriages will be healthy, that your children will be fine, that God will let every good and every perfect thing enter your house. I declare it to be so. And those of you who believe that this is going to be the summer that your soul prospers, I want you to clap that hand like you believe it even right now.

10:35 I don't want you to just own a home. I want you to live in one. A lot of Biblicists have missed a significant nuance in the scripture we've read today when Jesus is at a house party and two sisters are occupying two different roles of service. Mary is at his feet worshiping and listening and heretofore nobody pays attention to verse 38. Even when we read that verse in isolation, you didn't even know what it was connected to. The Mary is worshiping, yes, but they are in Martha's house. The reason why this leaps off the page, because this is in an era where women were not supposed to own property and banks did not consider women a safe loan or investment.

11:38 I got goosebumps knowing that Jesus was right there in it when society didn't think she should have it. Her credit was the kingdom. Her co-signer was the creator. Let's not forget she had a brother named Lazarus. yet she is the selected sibling it doesn't matter who doesn't want you to have it god is gonna help you to get it not only is he gonna help you get it but the spirit of christ is gonna be walking around in it i know that for some of you what i am getting ready to say is uncomfortable i know a lot of you are not gonna feel at peace but i've got to do it with all the authority that god has given to me. Those of you who have found it difficult securing and buying a home, I want you to lift up that hand right where it is that you are. You found it difficult. It has been hard for you to secure a home. I need you to lift up your hand. Your pastor wants to speak something over your life. God in the next 18 months is getting ready to perform a miracle for people who have their hands lifted in this moment. I don't care about your credit report. I don't care about what it is that is on your bottom line. All you need is the faith the size of a mustard seed.

13:19 I don't know where my worshipers are, but can you imagine? I want to declare in the words of the prophet, I don't know how many of you your soul will respond, but I declare in the words of the prophet and your soul ought to respond by next year this time whatever it is that you thought you were not gonna have i now release the spirit of joshua every place the soul of your feet shall tread upon it's getting ready to open up for you i can't hear no worshiper your children will not have to share a bedroom. You gonna have enough space to do what you need to get done. You by yourself are gonna break generational curses of poverty. God is gonna use you to occupy what nobody in your family was ever able to possess.

14:19 I don't want you to shout like you are in church. I want you to worship like this is your housewarming body. that God is going to give you the desires. You may be seated. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. hallelujah i feel glory get ready to come in this room thank you holy god hallelujah i said i feel glory get ready to come in the room i need you to just lay your hand on your neighbor's shoulder tell them the house is already yours god has the authority to lower the price god will block somebody else who thought they were gonna get it ahead of you god is gonna whisper your name to the mortgage company god is gonna give you favor with the realtor the seller is gonna look past every other offer and land right on yours i can't hear nobody the earth is the lord's and the fullness there are God said I'm sick of you having housing instability but where I'm getting ready to place you next you gonna be able to rest in peace knowing that God gave me this Conventionally.

15:59 You may be seated. Conventionally. for somebody that wasn't even revelation that was confirmation you've been feeling something in your spirit that it was time for you to make a move god said i got you i got you i got you i I got you. I don't care what the real estate market is. I don't care what the stock market says. I don't care what the banker says. God said if I made a promise to you, I am no shorter than my word. It's gotta take place for you. conventionally all of the spotlight usually goes to Mary because she got to Jesus' feet and began to worship and she is deservant of proper due because while worshiping is noble worshiping is admirable and worship is aspirational what I like about Mary is that she didn't just do it at church.

17:19 but Mary showed a blueprint that a lot of us need to take that if you really need God's attention don't wait till you get to church you better worship him at home i ain't talking to everybody i'm taking talking to those of y'all that can keep it a hundred he saved my life in my living room he helped me get it together while i was laying in the bed he fed me while i was in my own kitchen he showed me how to bounce back while I was in the basement. He didn't let me die on my dining room table. So when I get to church, you think I care that you mad that I'm screaming?

18:12 This is the after party. My real worship happened when I was at home. We get ready to separate the chair from the week. Because I got a whole lot of Sunday go to meet and cry. but those of y'all that know how to just sit on the side of your bed those of y'all that ever had praise and worship in the shower those of y'all that just had to walk around the living room would you do me a favor give God glory like you do when you at home give him praise like you do hey hallelujah you may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Hallelujah. some of y'all don't get it but i need those of y'all that was raised by a grandmother y'all ain't saying nothing and saturday morning you would hear her cleaning up the house having devotion by herself i i woke up this morning with my mind Stayed!

19:27 you may be seated in the presence of the Lord all you could do is smell pine salt in Ajax you put comet in the bathtub and let it sit for an hour and here and he walks with me and and he talks with me and he tells me You may be seated. some of y'all wasn't raised like that huh hallelujah you may be seated hallelujah if anyone would ever write my life story for whatever reason there might be jesus is the best thing that ever happened come on y'all ain't saying nothing I said Jesus is the best thing that ever happened.

20:32 And while we marvel at Mary, I don't think we give enough credit to Martha. You may be seated. She got the house.

20:56 She got the house. she had to trust God while tracking down check stubs she had to believe with blemishes on her credit report she had to stretch while receiving no spousal support she had to save while everybody else was shopping people seldom appreciate the sacrifices it took for you to get what you have they think you just rolled over one day and just got it but they don't know the blood the sweat and the tears it took for you to get to where it is that you have look at the person beside you and tell them i'm not an overnight success it took a whole lot of nights for me to get to where i am right now. I cried for this. I prayed for this. I fasted for this. I shut down for this.

21:58 so your grandmother grandmother never lived in a gated community never had no pool in the backyard had no satellite dish on the roof she uh had a shotgun house oh y'all y'all don't remember those you from the front door you could see the back door she had a shotgun house and here's what's crazy in the shotgun house she had a whole bunch of rules whole bunch of rules this for those of y'all that still remember plastic on living room furniture and if it was too hot it would stick to your back and come on i need some real people in here she had a whole bunch of rules no no eating in the living room no cussing in my house no fussing in my house no fighting in my house take off your hat when you come in my house don't keep my door open in my house come on somebody you ain't gonna keep going in and out of my house I need some real people right through here who left this light on in my house didn't I tell you don't leave them dishes in the sink in my house I'm getting ready to throw somebody all the way back.

23:37 If it was a man in the house, here's what you would hear. Who touched the thermostat in my house? and you got of age you got of age where you start in the words of the old people in the south you start smelling yourself you start smelling like outside and with all these rules in the house he would ask mama why all of these rules daddy why i gotta do all these rules pop why i I got to do all these rules. And the answer would be, because it's my house.

24:19 And because as long as you in my house, you're going to have to follow my rules. Here was a catch. But when you get your own house, I can't believe we got the same grandmother. When you got your own house, you can have whatever rules you want to have. So today, I came to set rules for your house. In your house, no giving up. In your house, no self-sabotage. In your house, no pity parties. In your house, no perversion. In your house, no complacency. In your house, no negative talking. In your house, no gossiping. In your house, no internet pornography. in your house no molestation in your house no pedophilia y'all ain't saying nothing as for me and my house we will serve the law god said if you give me glory whatever spirit is in your house that don't match me i'm gonna put it out of your house by 12 noon the house is getting ready to talk hallelujah i feel glory coming now would you just speak your address out loud hallelujah i said i feel glory getting ready to come right now i said speak your address right now y'all ain't saying it with authority i said speak your address out loud god said if you give me glory I'm sending a hundred thousand angels to break into your house that by the time you get back home every nasty demonic evil spirit is out in your house that the glory Musicians let me walk by myself for just one moment.

26:30 Thank you Holy God. The spirit whoever lives in your house that is not in alignment with the glory of God. Something is getting ready to shift on the inside of them. I'm waiting on my worshipers to show up. Whoever is in your house that is dealing with sickness and illness, whether it's in their body or in their mind, God said, if you give me glory, watch what I do by 12 noon. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it. You've been in warfare in your own house, but God said it stops today. I put the blood of Jesus on your house. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

27:22 You may be seated. Hallelujah. You may be seated. God I feel something right here come on I can't hear nobody I need to hear worship come on open up your mouth I said open up your mouth something getting ready to hit your house hallelujah hallelujah something getting ready to hit your house here's what's amazing what's amazing is that in biblical times houses had no address 1247 Wall Street 537 Piccadilly Circle with no address the house, hear this, was named for the family y'all get very missing the house was named for the family has a consequence.

28:28 I represent the house of Bryant. Stay with me. I represent the house of Bryant. Here's what's crazy is my dad lives in Baltimore. But I'm in the house of Bryant and I live in Atlanta. Y'all still ain't getting it. My sister lives in Los Angeles. And while she's in Los Angeles, she's still under the covering. of the house of Brian. Y'all ain't saying nothing. So it don't matter where it is that we are in the world, we're still connected to the same house. God said, when you give me worship today, whoever got your last name, they're getting ready to get covered by the same glory. I need you to shout for your sibling. I need you to shout for your nephew.

29:24 Shout for your niece. I don't even care if y'all don't speak to each other. The glory is getting ready to cover that house. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You may be seated. Softly, sir, and strings. You may be seated.

29:45 We got all of the cheer and all of the praises for Mary. And there's no high commendation for Martha who actually owns the house. Can I take a moment to make you pay attention. Y'all ain't gonna believe it for the overlooked. the stuff we in the text and those of us in the room take for granted are the people who I want to highlight today is they in Martha's house and nobody has ever paused to appreciate that they could go to Martha's house because they knew food would be there.

30:39 they knew the house would be clean they knew the utilities would be on they knew people would feel comfortable even though they didn't even plan for it some of you all who are standing I ain't even talking to you I'm talking to about 70 of you who are seated God said today Jamal honor the responsible ones Thank you. because the people who are consistent rarely get credit. We give no debt to the dependable. Becoming dependable can become stressing because your family always assume you got it together. They always assume that you are strong.

31:34 They always assume that you don't need nothing. They always assume that you're having a great day and they don't even understand that you conditioned yourself to sacrifice and never complain. Give your best to folk who never even said thank you to low money to people that never tried to pay you back. God said, I owe glory to the dependable ones. You are so dependable that you have been taken for granted. they always assume you're going to do it. They ask and demand in the same question. And then they're offended when you don't. Come on, I can't hear nobody in here.

32:28 Any dependable people in here that got to keep the whole family on your back, that you almost have become the ATM to the whole family. You got to be the grief counselor for everybody. You got to be the referee and the coach for everybody and the pastor and the intercessor for everybody. God said because you were faithful over a few things, I'm going to make you ruler over many. Your dependability is about to pay off. Mike Johnson, you may be seated. Mike Johnson last week, Speaker of the House, shut down the House of Representatives for six weeks trying to avoid a vote on Epstein. said i'm sending everybody home ain't gonna be no vote hopefully we'll die down and nobody will pay attention and people will get distracted on fake obama charges and won't realize that you got a president who is a pedophile So Mike Johnson shut down the house last week.

33:52 But when he shut down the house, he underestimated a black woman by the name of Summer Lee, who is a Democrat from Pennsylvania. She read the fine print of the house rules that said even if the house is on vacation, a subcommittee can still do the work. Y'all just missed what I just said. Why am I telling you that, Newberth? I'm telling you that because when a woman wants to get something done, nothing can stop her from getting it done. I don't know where y'all are, but I better pause for some sisters. God said, I'm going to find another way to bless you. I'm going to go a different route in order to get it done. I'm going to stand up in you even when they try to block you out. One black woman shifted the entire political narrative when the house got shut down.

34:59 Ladies and gentlemen, somebody needs to tell the Congressional Black Caucus. Please tell them as quickly as you possibly can. Let them know for me that maybe this is the hour we need some house Negroes. Y'all done got mad. I ain't talking about the tap dancing, boot licking kind. Maybe we need some Negroes in the house who will have some courage and have some heart that it is inhumane to let them babies in Gaza starve to death. We need some house negros who will tell truth to power that we see what y'all are doing and we are not going to go backwards in seven months where black people fought 70 years in order to get done. We need some house negros that will sing the song before I be a slave.

36:02 I'll be buried in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free. We need some new Negroes in the House of Representatives. We need some new Negroes that are in the statehouse. And we need some Negroes that will own some houses. Pastor, why we got to own some houses? Because I want poor white people to have to pay you rent. That even if they don't give us reparation, they're going to have to pay us back one way or another. We need some negros to own a house. they mad now they mad now they mad now they mad now but when we were paying them rent they wasn't mad y'all ain't saying nothing when they was evicting us they wasn't mad but god said i will turn it around ethiopia shall stretch forth her eye. God is going to make the borrower the lender. God's got the authority to do it.

37:14 I know you don't feel comfortable, but I need you to tell somebody I'm a Negro that owns a house. And so if that makes me a house Negro, so be it. And this is the last time. It's the last time I'll ask you to be seated. It's the last time. And after this, I'm no longer responsible.

37:47 It's the last time. grandmama had rules about what you could do in her house you just declared rules that you're gonna have for your own house jamal god said to me tell them i got rules if they're gonna come into my house and so i'm gonna need to tell y'all the house rules i should gave it to you an hour ago but hear the house rules when you come in my daddy's house enter into his gates with thanksgiving enter into his courts with praise let everything that has breath come on i can't hear nobody ain't no wallflowers in my daddy's house when i think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me. My soul cries out, hallelujah.

38:45 If I scream at the job, they gonna write me up. If I scream at the mall, they gonna arrest me. But when I get in my daddy's house, I can yell if I want to, cause he been better to me than I been to myself. Look at your neighbor. and say neighbor you don't know where you are it is now a house party when i give god glory your rent is gonna get paid when i give god glory my utilities are gonna be handled when i magnify him everything that the devil thought he stole is gonna be added back to me i need you to grab that neighbor by the hand and say neighbor may i have this dance oh magnify the lord with me let us exalt his name together if they don't shout with you move somewhere but if two or three are gathered in my name
