I Timothy 6:12
12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

• Satan tries to manipulate our emotions and feelings.
• Everything we do is wrapped around faith.

Romans 10:17
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

• The faith comes by hearing.
• The more we hear the Word, the more faith is going to come into our lives.
• Faith must be acted upon. You must speak it out. For example saying, “I am healed, I am prosperous.”
• Faith is activated through our mouth and through our actions.
• We must understand that our lives are entangled in fighting the good fight of faith.
• The enemy tries to pull us away from what God has for us.

Romans 4:17
17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

• When we are fighting the faith fight we have to call some things that are not as though they were.
• You cannot call those things that already are and say they are not. For example, if you are in a car accident you cannot say I am not in a car accident. You can call yourself healed though.

Matthew 18:15
15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

• We have a responsibility to tell our brother or sister when they have offended us.
• We can’t be quick to give up on people.
• Remember the process of: decision, change, transition, and transformation. It is a maturing process.

II Corinthians 10: 3-5
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

• Verse 3 is profound. Most people do not pass the test. We should not try to get back at someone who has hurt us.
• God blesses us according to our ability to fight the good fight of faith.
• G12 is about promotion. God is trying to take us to a new place of promotion in our lives.
• Every promotion has a test. The test comes in many ways.
• There is a test we have to pass as G12 leaders with Pastor and with our G12 men/women.
• When we are praying against something we should also pray against the strongholds associated with it.
• When Paul talks about strongholds he is talking about getting to the core or root of the issue.
• A stronghold is what the enemy uses to anchor the person to sin and things that are anti-Christ.

II Timothy 2:4
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
• We must understand we are at war.
• We cannot let stuff pull us away from what God has for us.

I Thessalonians 5:8
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
• Sober means having a clear mind.
• Even when you are saved, it is necessary to put on some things.
• You must put on love. You must watch what you say and what you hear.
• The key words are: sober, putting on, breastplate of faith, and helmet.
Ephesians 6:16-17
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
• Taking the shield means that we have to take it if we are going to get it.
• We must take on a conquering spirit. We have to want to be victorious.
• We have to fight fear, anxiety, lust, and stupidity.
• The biggest thing the enemy tries to attack is our mind.
• Salvation means: health, healing, deliverance, preservation, soundness, safety, and prosperity.
Hebrews 4:12
12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
• We have to keep the Word preeminent in our lives. We have to be in the Word each day.
• If you don’t stay in the Word, the enemy will use deception in your life.
• One of biggest deceptions is self-deception (no one can tell you anything).

Proverbs 18:19
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
• The enemy will try to get you offended.
• The enemy wants us to make wrong choices.
• The Word of God is our defense.

II Corinthians 6:7
7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
• We have to arm ourselves by the Word of truth, which is the Word of God.
• In order to walk in victory, we must understand how to use the armor provided through God’s Word.
NOTE: Pastor asked that we study all of the scriptures noted and see how they tie together.

WEAK LEADERSHIP BRINGS FORTH WEAK RESULTS.

Characteristics of weak leadership are:
1. Excuses
2. Lack of strong commitment
3. Wrong attitude
4. Not having a finishing spirit
5. Broken focus
6. Not rising to potential
7. Lack of growth
8. Lack of knowledge (an un-renewed mind injures others)
9. Wrong company

 A weak leader is holding back the kingdom of God.
 Weak leadership translates into poor results.
 Strong leadership always has results.

Ephesians 6:10
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

 This scripture talks about being strong in the Lord and not weak.

Romans 4:18-21
18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
 “Who against hope” Abraham did not let his circumstances dictate to him. A weaker leader will allow the circumstances to dictate.
Key words and actions that demonstrate Abraham’s faith:
1. Against hope
2. Spoken
3. Being not weak in faith
4. Body not dead
5. Unbelief
6. Giving glory to God
7. Fully persuaded


G12 Life Group Notes–January 31, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

 A sign of a man that is strong is he has faith before it has happened.
 People can never get help from weak leadership.

II Timothy 2:2-3
2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

 God cannot work through a weak vessel.
 Strong leaders fight through whatever circumstance that may arise.

LEADERSHIP IS STRENGTHENED THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING.

YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE STRONG UNTIL YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR WEAKNESS.

I Corinthians 16:13
13Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

 You have to want to be strong.
 Today there is a void of leadership.
 Most men and women will start off fine, but then they will quit.
 Being determined to be a strong man or woman will help make you strong.
