Decision-Change-Transition-Transformation

• For people going through the change process, it is about changing the heart and mind.
• Until people go through the process, they are in a stage of wandering, like the children of Israel.
• Some people are changed for Sunday, but go back to their same old ways during the rest of the week.
• It is easier to get someone born again than making a disciple.
• There are different levels of warfare: 1) getting someone saved, 2) getting us to witness, and 3) getting someone to go through the process.
• We must not only think of conversion, but getting people through the process.

Hebrews 10:32

• If you are locked in, you still have a great fight.
• If a man/woman that has been pulled out of the world does not go through the process, Satan will use the old lifestyle to try to bring them back. Satan wars like hell to prevent them from becoming a disciple.
• If you are not discipleship minded, the devil will use someone to try to take you back into the world.
• There is a great fight of affliction after illumination.

Revelation 12:17

We are the remnant. Satan hates the woman because she gives birth to the seed.

Genesis 3: 12-15

• The serpent originally walked upright. His hands and feet were taken by God.
• Once people make a decision to get saved, the warfare begins.
• Most people that get saved don’t make it through the process because there is not enough discipleship.
• The number of people that go out and witness is small and even a smaller number will disciple.
• Satan wants to keep us complacent. We must go into fasting and break the spirit of complacency.


Romans 7:23

• Your flesh still desires worldly things.
• The enemy does not want us to be productive.
• Once a decision is made to change, the war is on.
• We must understand what we are NOT doing, and what satan IS doing.


Matthew 12:43-45

• The blood cleaned the house.
• The person that God saved, when there is no one to disciple them, is attacked by the enemy.
• Satan is determined that they will not be saved and will attack them harder and try to make them worse off than they initially were.

Ephesians 6:10-11

• Wile means strategy, trickery, and craftiness. Wiles relates to a road that is traveled on to attack your emotions and attitudes.
• The attacks continue until we are committed to discipleship.
• The power of his might is God’s word.
• It is not the amount of word ”know.” But word “activated”.

Decision-Change-Transition-Transformation
• You cannot have any of the steps in the process out of order.
• We must be men/women of honor.
• The test of life is when people survive the attacks of satan.
• In order to get to transformation, you must go through the process.
• Change starts the process of transition.
• Transition takes place on the inside. Change takes place on the outside.
• Renewing of the mind has to take place in order for transition to take place. It takes time to get from decision to transition.

Ephesians 4:18 - 23
• Satan’s job is to alienate and keep your understanding darkened.
• If a man/woman makes a decision to receive Christ in their life, it is satan’s job
to alienate them from what God has for them.
• Verse 22 – once you make a decision for Christ, change is going to take place. However, there is a lot of baggage that you have that you cannot take with you. Satan tries to get you to keep the baggage that God has said you must get rid of.
• We must help brothers/sisters through transition because that is where satan fights the hardest.
• He knows people are watching you and he does not want you to be victorious.
• Satan opposes transformation, so he fights transition.
• That is where G-12 come in. G-12 helps men/women through transition to get them to transformation.
• The new man is not going to be put on without a fight.

Numbers 13: 1,2; 26-32
• The land of Canaan represented transformation or where God wanted to take the children of Israel.
• The biggest obstacle to transformation is a lack of vision.
• Verse 26, 27- God was trying to give them vision to help them through transformation.
• The percentage of people successfully making it through transformation without vision is very small.
• Verse 28-31 – God never told them they had to fight. God was able to take them out of Egypt, so he could certainly handle the Canaanites.
• The biggest hindrance to transformation is what you are focused on.
• You must see yourself victorious, winning, conquering, overcoming, etc.
• You must be able to see things as God sees it.
• Only 2 men out of 3 million people could see what God had for them.
• Anything put out to stop you, is put out there by satan.
• You can’t move forward if you are looking out the rear view mirror.
• If you could really see it, nothing would stop you.
• You would fight through all obstacles.
• However, you cannot get there taking all of your baggage with you.
• If you know the why, you can endure the what.
• If I can see it, God knows I can have it
• Transition takes place on the inside and it take place from the renewing of your mind.
• That is why life groups, closed cells, and the encounter are so important.
• Verse 31 - God did not tell the children of Israel to look at the inhabitants.
• Anything that goes against your transformation is an evil report.
• From verse 31 to verse 32, the report got worst. The enemy will magnify the opposition.
• Grasshopper Complex – “defeats you from the inside.
• Enemies are really unnecessary since you choose to become your own worst enemy because you allow the complex in you.” –Pastor Goudeaux,

I Cor 10:13
• If you are going through transition, God will give you a break from temptation, but you must still pass the test.
• The greatest hindrance to transformation is vision. If you cannot see it, you will always be stuck in change.

 We should expect a greater anointing on our lives.
 People have minds that have not been renewed. Therefore, you cannot take them where they need to go.

Decision-Change-Transition-Transformation

• You should not be saved for many years and not know anything.
• Some time in prayer is not enough. Prayer is important, but we must apply the transition process to prayer.
• G12 with prayer helps take men/women to victory.
• There is a saying “Work like it’s all up to you and pray like it’s all up to God.”
• A spirit of selfishness puts God on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th burner.
• Some men/women will not move to the level of greatness until they get through the process of transition.
• We need to get off our butts!
• The renewal of our mind is necessary to get through the transition process.

Hosea 4:6
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

• Our minds must be renewed.
• Some time we reject knowledge with excuses. This occurs when our priorities are mixed up.
• We must show patience when helping people go through the transition process.
• Satan fights our forward progress.
• We don’t know all of the struggles that Satan threw at the children of Israel after they left Egypt that caused them to deviate from the plan that God had for them.
• We are here to keep men/women focused and on track.

Isaiah 5:13
13Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

• Satan fights men/women from making a commitment to God.
• Our priority should be to move forward to God.
• God wants us to be educated in the Word (renewal of the mind).
• You can be a good man/woman. Good and ignorant.
• We have a responsibility to the world to help save those that are lost.
• We should have our 144. We need to take our responsibility to another level.



G12 Life Group Notes–December 13, 2009–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

Hebrew 5:11-14
11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

• We should be matured.
• Dull of hearing refers to lack of perception or recognition. It also refers to being slow to learn. This goes back to the renewing of our minds. We must have growth in our spiritual lives.
• When you should be at an advanced stage of knowledge, you find yourself in kindergarten instead of college.
• If we understood righteousness, we would understand why we need to grow up.
• We should read the Bible each day, just like we should exercise each day.

I Corinthians 3:1-3
1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

• The scripture talks about our spiritual man being unable to handle certain things because of immaturity.
• When you are too immature you are easily offended and easily get into strife.
• The carnal nature still dominates. That is why prayer cannot be the only thing we utilize.
• We must help people through the transition process.
• We must be consistent with our open cell and closed cell.
• We must be growing and feeding ourselves.
• God cannot fully use a carnal spiritual babe when that person has so many issues themselves.

 We must take time to win souls.
 This month (December), people are more open to receive Christ because of the Christmas season.
 Friendship Sunday, December 20, is an opportunity to reach out to friends, neighbors, and relatives.

Decision-Change-Transition-Transformation
• Most people get to the second level.
• Many make decisions to change.
• There is often no one to take them through transition to bring about transformation.
• Transition is the shedding off which brings about the total change. “Change is not change until it is change” – Ed Cole
• Change is a process.
• The Bible talks about the potter working with clay until all of the rock and imperfections are taken out.
• We are to help men/women not only to make a decision for Christ, but also help them to change through the transition process.

Romans 12:2
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
• God wants the total area of transformation.
• Most people in the Body of Christ don’t make it through to transformation because there is no one to help them through the transition.
• G12, the Open Cell, the Encounter, and School of Leaders are designed to help individuals through the process of transition.
• Simply attending Church each Sunday is not enough.
• The flesh doesn’t have power unless your mind gives it.
• Our thinking controls our life.
• Watch your thoughts they become words, watch your words they become actions, watch your actions they become habits, watch your habits they become character, watch your character it becomes your destiny.
• Sometimes we take it for granted that when people accept Christ into their lives, they are going to automatically live right.
• Ninety-nine percent of people need help to go through transition because they still have their old thoughts.
• It takes a strong leader to get someone through transition.

Proverb 23:7
7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. –
• As a man thinketh, so is he.
G12 Life Group Notes–December 6, 2009–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

Isaiah 55: 7-9
7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
• God is talking to the unsaved.
• Some have never really changed because they have not gone through the transition that brings transformation.
• When people fail in transition, they think of going back to their old ways.
• We have to get people to start thinking Kingdom-minded.
• People need help.
• Everyone we know is going through some transition.
• Every one of our men/women is being trained to help other men/women.
• The biggest threat to the kingdom of darkness is when men/women begin to help other men/women.
• Ways and thoughts are two different things. All of our ways do not please God. We need to line up our thoughts with God’s thoughts.
• God is going to have mercy on the one’s that are going through transition, not the one standing still.
• If you are stuck in transition, you will start building idols.
• Idols can be anything, for example, money, house, car, clothes, drugs, etc.
• People will do what they really want to do.
• You can be around a strong leader, but you must take hold and believe the things of God for yourself.
• God wants our thoughts to be like His thoughts and that comes through transition.
• It takes time to go through the transition process and it cannot be rushed.

2 Timothy 2:19-21
19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
• Most men run from transition and submitting to a mentor or one in authority.
• Most people don’t want to work in ministry because they have not gone through the transition.
• Transition is the big issue.
• Our goal is not to be self-made men/women, but God-made men/women.
• “Don’t look at what people have, but what they need” – Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• We need to strive to bring honor to God.
• We must continually work on ourselves.

• There is a war for souls going on and we must stand in the gap for these men/women, instead of watching television, we need to spend 30 minutes standing in the gap – thanking God for the blood of Jesus and declaring the warring spirit destroyed from over their lives.
• There are spirits assigned over Sacramento, it is the capitol of California, and California is the most influential state in the United States, and the United States influences the world.
• Every time a man or woman dies unsaved, Satan takes joy in taking that soul to hell.

Acts 10:1-4
1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
• If you have a need, you should sow a substantial seed for your breakthrough. This counteracts and gets God’s attention.
• When we are going through some thing, we should give a memorial gift.

Decision – Change – Transition – Transformation

• It’s an eternal decision. We should not let people back us down. Every day we are faced with decisions. G12 is about moving us through transitional points.
• If we are not aggressively attacking the forces of darkness, the forces of darkness will aggressively attack us.
• We need to intercede for people coming to church and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• We need to work the altar call. When we don’t work the altar call, it is like trying to catch water with your hand open and fingers spread out. We need to pray for the altar call.

Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
• This is moving from decision, to change, to transformation.

G12 Life Group Notes–November 29, 2009–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

Ephesians 4:17-25
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20But ye have not so learned Christ; 21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
• The vanity of our minds is what is holding us back.
• The vanity of your mind is thinking you are more than what you are.
• Once you are saved, Satan can’t make you do anything but he bombards you with different thoughts similar to a fisherman using different forms of bait.
• Once the door of sin is open, it multiplies.
• The open cell meetings help people move from change to transition.
• Lust always leads to sin, and sin always leads to death.
• The biggest issue we have is casting off the old man.
• Going to church is not going to transform you; however, you are in the right place to be transformed.
• Renewing your mind is an ongoing process.

Colossians 3:1-4
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
• “Seeking” starts transformation.
• Setting your affections can work for or against you. We must be dead to our old past life.
• We need to intercede for souls and not hold our fingers open, but closed so the souls can be won and transformed.
