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.
