Something’s Gotta Break

2:28 If you break the H, you still have a bit. if you break the a you still have a bit if you break the b you have it if you break the t there's still i and the root cause of your habits is i it's very easy to look out the window but it's hard to look in the mirror when you come to the realization hear this when you come to the realization you come to the epiphany that what has to break is you Thank you.

3:21 and for God to break the habit off of you, he's got to break you first. Alcoholics Anonymous underscores that the first step to recovery is admitting that you got a problem.

3:42 Mulatto Shakespeare said, to thine own self be true. Deliverance won't come until you recognize that your dysfunction is internal bleeding. what draws and drives me to my habit is something that's going on inside of me that I have not addressed I gotta stop eating when I'm not hungry I gotta stop spending while I'm in debt I gotta stop traveling while my marriage is unsettled I gotta stop creeping while my marriage is crawling I gotta stop fussing every time I'm frustrated I gotta stop drinking when it's my dreams that are dehydrated I gotta stop cussing when I forgot to go to scripture I gotta stop going back to who God delivered me from because just because they're good to me don't mean they're good for me.

4:58 I gotta stop taking all these gummies. look at all these sites I gotta break it but I promise to God I can't do it by myself I need some help and the problem with the people who are sitting around you they trying to act like just because they saved they ain't got no habits that need to be broken but I wish there are five of y'all there to keep it 100 and say rev it's some stuff i got to break right now i don't even know why i've been carrying it this long why i can't give it up why i can't walk away but god i need you to break a habit off of my life it ain't your neighbor's business what that habit is but if there's something you need god to break off of you this summer would you pause right here and give God glory like you know a habit can be broken.

6:05 With that in mind, it makes me curious about this sister I ran into in St. Mark and her seemingly erratic behavior. Jesus is at a private dinner party that had an exclusive invitation list, but somehow the word got out. and this unidentified sister is determined to crash the party. I need you to understand this. At somebody's house, they are having a private gathering for Jesus who came for the world, but they thought they could have him to themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, it is amazing how many people try to quarantine Christ for their own personal use so that they can gatekeep grace.

7:10 They believe somehow or another that God will just bless America and nobody else. They think strangely that God pledges allegiance to the flag when the only thing we got to remember is the cross. white evangelicals are praising the administration while ICE is interrupting kindergarten graduations invading Home Depot and constraining construction workers. Ladies and gentlemen, I am standing today to tell you that woe are we if we don't recognize that there are two different gospels that are being preached on this Sunday morning. Somehow or another, there are churches that are praising the president while he is taking Medicaid from 24 million people. Y'all not saying nothing before this summer is over 9 million black senior citizens will be without Medicare. Nobody is saying anything that they have cut the funding for AmeriCorps and 17,000 young people from Job Corps are about to be homeless before June the 30th.

8:23 They are trying to suggest to us that Jesus is just for the rich, just for the white, and just for the Republicans. I need you to know that I serve a God that looks for those who are marginalized and ostracized and pushed aside. Over my head, I hear music in the air and there must be a God somewhere. Don't you let them delude you into believing that Christianity is a white man's slave religion. How God been with us from the beginning on his way to Calvary. It was a black man who took the cross off of his shoulders and took it up the hill. Y'all forgot when Jesus was born, they hid in Egypt. And if they hid in Egypt, he couldn't have had blue eyes and blonde hair. But the Bible said he had hair like lamb's wool and skin like bronze.

9:23 Look at your neighbor and tell him you look like God. Something is wrong today. Something is wrong today for those who try to hide Jesus just in classism. Who tried to hide Jesus in elitism. And something has got to break. You mean ain't none of them evangelicals gonna say nothing about us bombing three different bases that had nothing to do with us? You mean nobody is gonna say nothing about us spending $47 million for a parade that nobody showed up to? Ain't nobody gonna say nothing about how the Trump family's net worth has gone up by five billion dollars in the last six months. Ain't nobody gonna say nothing about him lying about the airplane that ain't even for the U.S. government, but it's for his own family record.

10:26 I declare unto you today I'm a free black man and before I be a slave I'll be buried in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free somebody gotta say something Gotta say something.

10:52 For the last 18 weeks, we've been boycotting Target and said there's no way in the world we're going into Target where black people were spending $12 million a day. We said to Target, you got to do four things in order for us to walk into that store. is that you got to invest $250 million in the black banks. Number two, you got to honor what you said, the George Floyd family, and invest $2 billion in the black business. Number three, you got 27 of these stores on white campuses, but not one at an HBCU. You ought to partner with six HBCUs with their business programs so that young people will be able to scale their business and do a national franchise. We said to you that you've got to reimagine what DEI is, and absolutely six weeks, 16 weeks later, you didn't deliver to us.

11:55 Even after we made your stock drop, even after the CEO's salary was cut by 42%, even after you lost 12 billion dollars in valuation but you thought you was gonna go around me and go to the National Baptist Convention and these sell out for 300,000 dollars are you crazy to think that we gonna sell out for chump chain you must not know who we are our father is rich in houses and land. in 1961 in 1961 the National Baptist Convention was meeting and they did not want to support a young preacher from Georgia named Martin Luther King they said you speaking too loud about civil rights we don't want you to do all of that just preach and sit down don't march don't make a stand don't challenge the government And as a consequence, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Gardner Taylor walked out of that church and started the Progressive Baptist Convention where we come in full circle.

13:13 And I need you to know it wasn't just the National Baptist of America. It was also the National Baptist of USA. It was also the Missionary Baptist. It was also the Church of God in Christ. And the $300,000 was not per institution. They gave them Negroes $75,000 for them to just sit down and roll over. Not me, Jack. I called the president of the National Baptist Convention. I said, Rev, we can't go out like that. We are selling ourselves short. He said, Jamal, give me a couple of days. Let me get the board together. I said, bro, you can get your board together. But Sunday morning, I'm going to the mic and I got to say something. And you got to give me something to work with. He said, Pastor Bryant, give me a couple of days and I will do it.

14:07 I said, you got one week to send me in writing that the Baptist Convention stands with the boycott, stands with the oppressed, stands with the marginalized, stands with the nameless and faceless people who are on the front line. $75,000 Baptist Convention. I'll write you a check. You can't sell yourself out for 75 pounds. Something has got to break.

14:48 Over the last couple of weeks, Target been playing in my face. Been hiring internet influencers to go online. Rappers and artists and athletes to play and broadcast outside of Target. and in Target thinking we ain't going to say nothing. But you ain't got to talk directly to me. All you got to do is watch the rerun of the color purple until you do right by me. Nothing you do is going to work. We will break Target. We will break Dollar General. And we will break any company that done to honor our dignity while they trying to take our dollar. The devil is a lie Something gotta break I do not have ire with the black church because I recognize the fingerprints of satanic principality. It is the intention of the enemy for us to fight each other.

16:00 I am not declaring war on any of those Baptist conventions. I am declaring war of the spirit of division. Come on, y'all ain't saying nothing to me. White supremacy takes delight at us fighting one another. But if we learn how to stand together as one, we are a undefeatable force. The old Negro spiritual was walk together, children. don't you get weary do you understand how powerful we would be if black people would just stick together and stop stabbing each other in the back and live with love of Jesus Christ look at the person beside you tell them we cannot break this woman is so determined to get a break that she goes into the house that's owned and occupied by a leper now you got to remember that leprosy is a degenerative disease it is a communicative disease that if you have leprosy there is no cure hair follicles fall out pigmentation erodes digits on your hands and your feet begin to fall off ladies and gentlemen and the house party is in the house of a leper and she still goes in there in the new testament you declare that if you got leprosy you gotta yell unclean and nobody can come within 30 feet of you because it's a danger zone what i love about this super bad sister is she goes in the house with somebody that's got leprosy here's your shout but never catches it i need you to lift your hand I gotta make a declaration over your life you gonna go crazy when you lift up that hand God is breaking off every illegal spirit watch this that's been resident in your house

18:05 whatever spirit that runs in your bloodline is not gonna take hold of your children or your grandchildren whatever bad habits your family members have you will not see it in the next generation of your family. God said when you shout, it ain't for money, it ain't for clothes, it ain't for promotion. But he said if you scream, I'll break generational curses. Whatever generational curse is on your family, it is broken by the power of God. Wave that hand. no more alcoholics in your family wave that hand no more drug addiction in your family wave that hand no more spirit of divorce runs through your family wave your hand no more cancer and heart attacks in your family wave your hand no learning disabilities in your family and the God of our salvation is breaking generational curses I want you right where you are would you just shout your last name whatever demonic principality has latched itself to your last name has just been separated by the power of the Holy Ghost those of you that ain't had to fight through nothing don't say anything but I break the spirit of molestation I break the spirit of suicide I break the spirit of low self-esteem I break the spirit of promiscuity I break the spirit of laziness whatever runs in my family She gets in the room.

20:04 When she gets in the room, she reaches under her robe and pulls out a box, a very expensive perfume. And she does what nobody expected. She doesn't open it. She breaks it. As a consequence, it all had to be used right there. there would be no saving some for the next time. She had to give it all to her. This has nothing to do with Creed, Baccarat, Tom Ford. It really comes down to you and I. It's not, hear this, you ain't gonna like it, not too many screamers right here. It's not to your completely broken that he can get everything out of you. As long as you got everything together, he can't use you.

21:03 But I need some people that have hit rock bottom. And when you hit rock bottom, your heart opened up and said, just as I am. God can't use you until he breaks you completely. All this time you've been giving credit to the enemy. That ain't the devil breaking you. That's a heavenly assignment. He said, that's the only way I'm going to get real worship out of you. When you got nothing to fall back on, nothing to lean up against, nobody to call. It's just you and God. God said there's some stuff in you that I need. It's pain that pulled the prayer warrior out of you.

21:55 Divorce brought out discernment. Poverty brought out patience. Loneliness taught you self-contentment. being broken made your oil flow you didn't hear what I just said all this time you thought it was depression it was brokenness for your oil to flow it smells like a whole lot of anointing in here cause God been breaking you the last two years and you keep acting like a tough guy. You keep acting like you got it all together. God said, let me break some more until you don't wait till you get to church to worship me, but you'll sit in your car and just rock until you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.

22:57 Let me break you some more till you sit on the side of your bed and you ain't even remembering what you supposed to do next. I need you broken in order to get the oil out of you there is no oil until the olive gets crushed there's no juice till the grape gets crushed why are you walking around lying telling people you anointed and you're whole you ain't really anointed until God presses you down to the ground and then begins to grind until he can get real worship out of you see I can tell folk they've been crushed because you ain't waiting to hear the organ you ain't waiting to hear no praise team you feel the weight of his glory those of you who are under a lot of pressure right now but you still trust him I want to hear the sound of the breaking but you just take 30 seconds and worship him out of your pain worship him out of your circumstance I can't hear any worshipers weary, worn, and sad but I found in him a resting place and he has made me glad here's to you I give the glory Here's to you I give the honor My good friend Tyrese will put it this way.

24:44 What more do you want from me? Can you imagine God is crushing you until he can get the oil out of you? Those of you whose life is going hunky-dory, this message ain't for you. But those of you who are living out the pages of the African writer Chinoway Archibald, things fall apart. And every side that you look on, you feel like you're losing it. Only the grace of God is keeping you together. I ain't talking about no chip nail. I'm talking to those of you who are stones throw away from a nervous breakdown. I'm talking to those of you who got to talk yourself off the ledge. I'm talking to those of you who fighting with God because you don't know why he left you in it this long. Come on, let him crush you till the oil comes out of you.

25:42 Those of you, this doesn't apply. I'll be back with you in about three minutes. But those of you who feel like you being crushed, you being broken, come on, be honest. You weren't struggling like this when you were in the street. It was only when you started trying to live right. God, I can't hear nobody. you didn't struggle like this trying to pay bills when you was running but now that you're trying to be steadfast it looks like the valve has been shut off God says I only wanted it because there was some oil in you that I needed to get out heartbreak brought forgiveness out of you it ain't bond number nine it's Ephesians it's Galatians, it's Philippians what can separate me from the love of God neither height nor depth none of these things have been able to separate me while I was being crushed.

26:59 A few years ago, I was in Qatar with my sister. And we're walking, Devin, through downtown Qatar, and they're known for expensive oils. And we go into the area, the district, where they sell perfume, and I saw a bottle of perfume that I wanted, a bottle of cologne that I wanted, and I wanted it until they told me the price. so I said I can't afford that give me the smaller bottle the travel size Newbirth is gonna mess you up they brought me the smaller bottle and the smaller bottle was more expensive I was confused and I I inquired why is the smaller bottle more expensive and they quickly informed me that the larger bottle is mixed with stuff.

27:58 It's mixed with water and alcohol. But the smaller bottle, y'all ain't gonna like it, is pure oil. and while it is smaller it's stronger and it lasts longer i gotta get out of here y'all better stop tripping off of people that got bigger cars bigger houses and bigger checks it's in the small stuff that you able to last longer is there anybody here They'll say I may not be big to you, but this is all oil, baby. I ain't mixed with nothing but the anointing of God. when she broke the box the moment she broke it listen to me the moment she broke it she could no longer control it it just began to flow it's all over the floor all over the couch y'all ain't saying nothing it's running into the kitchen i came to make an announcement to somebody in this room the oil is flowing you you can't control where it's getting ready to go but i declare for some worshipers in this room it's getting ready to flow down your road you can't pick who god is gonna anoint but when the oil starts flowing it'll hit the ged and the phd when the oil starts flowing And your problem is you broke the bottle in here.

29:50 And the problem with church folk is they want to keep it in here. But when the oil starts flowing, it's going to start hitting people you can't stand. God, I can't hear nobody. it's going to start moving in areas of people who you don't agree with. I dare you real quick just to upset the enemy. Would you grab your neighbor by the hand real quick? Would you do it? Put your neighbor's hand in your hand and tell him I better warn you. Come on, look at him. Tell him I better warn you. The oil is getting ready to start flowing. The oil that's on me is getting ready to flow through this whole road. when I open up my mouth everything that God put on me is getting ready to be transferred to whoever is sitting in my area y'all are too stuck up for me he said if you give me glory for just 30 seconds
