Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ.

We're so glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe God will transform your life through today's message.

So we are in a series called Cuffing Season and today is week 11. If you're excited about the Word of God today, would you make some noise in the building?

Hey listen, I feel like I have a mandate from God. Like God woke me up this morning to speak this message and there has been opposition since I decided this was going to be the message.

Okay, so last week we talked about being cuffed to control. How many control freaks is out here? Come on. We live a hot humble opening transparency like,

woo! God don't want you to be that no more. Let me be very clear with you. This whole Cuffing series is a series to help you get delivered. Everybody say deliverance.

God doesn't want you to stay the way you are and I know society today is like, love yourself. Be you. Yeah, I understand that to a point where it's positive in your life, but sometimes being you ain't good.

Sometimes the things you do, how many people know they have some traits in their life that they would not want replicated in their children?

Uh oh. That's how you know if it's good or not. How you telling your kids, don't do what I do. Do what I say. What kind of in the rain misstatement is that?

I'm watching you. You're my model and you're telling me, don't do what you do. Do what you say. This is how backwards many of us are because we do not want to take the time to actually deal with the deliverance that we need.

It's too ugly. It's too far back. I would have to address issues. I have with people who are no longer living. Some of y'all mad at parents that aren't here no more.

Uh oh. It's getting quiet in here. I'm just, you're frustrated at people who haven't been in your life for years and God's saying for you to actually get over or move past that thing, we're going to have to deal with it.

Deliverance makes you have to deal with it. You may not even talk to them anymore, but you got to deal with what it left you with.

It may not have been your fault, but it is now your responsibility. This is why everybody comes to church and was like, hey, me up.

Make me feel good. Give me enough sedative to let me go back out here and live like everything's cool.

Let me just have a little inebriation of the anointing so I can make it through another week. And God said, you ain't got to live like that. Somebody said, I ain't got to live like that.

You can be everybody say delivered. That means we got to talk about what your cuff to. And last week we talked about a big one that some of y'all still not even trying to digest.

A lot of people are cuffed to being in control. Everybody around you sees it, but you. That ain't me. That ain't me.

And everybody, if you ask them the people that love you, they're not going to say it with you in the room because they know if they actually say the truth.

One of the ways you know that you're always in the control of the situation is people won't tell you the truth when you're around.

Like if, and you don't really notice until after the fact, but a lot of people who control and manipulate situations who are cuffed to it, they always find out stuff after the fact because nobody feels close enough to them to tell them the truth in the moment.

Without being manipulated, turned out or disciplined punished or scolded.
