John 12:24
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• In other words, it will reproduce itself many times, once it is dead.
John 12:25
25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
• Holding onto the worldly way of living will not produce spiritual results.
• It will not produce a spiritual life.
• It will reproduce a fleshly death or corruption.
• What does dead or death actually mean? The dictionary defines “dead” as incapable of being emotionally moved or unresponsive (in other words, no feeling or core, lacking sensitivity of feelings).
• The person is not fruitful, they are unproductive, dull, inactive, and without resilience, they cannot bounce back from anything.
• Why are the fleshly attacks so great against G12?
Romans 8:6-9
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
• After looking at the dictionary definition of “dead” above, and reading the scripture, you’ll better understand why we must die to ourselves in order to really live and run with the vision.

DECISION – > CHANGE –> TRANSITION –> TRANSFORMATION
• God is trying to break us. When we are broken and changed from our selfish ways, then God can use us.
• Brokenness is the key to enabling change.
• Brokenness is God’s requirement for maximum usefulness.
• Brokenness does not break your spirit or soul, but your will.
• God has a will. Satan has a will. We have a will.
• We need to follow God’s will.
• When you operate in your will, it is characterized by self-righteousness, and self-centeredness.
Psalms 51: 8-13
8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
• God wants us to be in position. We speed up the process when we are in position.
• When we are broken, we are teachable.
• We need to confess we have a clean heart. A clean heart is the beginning of being broken.
• The more we follow God’s Word, the easier it is to have fun.
• When you are self-centered, you say, “It’s me doing it.”
• God is looking for an opportunity to break us.
• We should desire for God to use us.
• The more we submit to our man and woman of God, the more our men/women will submit to us.
• Men/women who are unbroken are jealous of those who are broken
• We need a spirit within us that is fixed, confident, and committed to our church.
• We are in our faith walk for the long haul. We must persevere.
• As we are broken, we can be used by God.
• When we are fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, He is helping us in our areas of weakness.
• God wants to expose our weaknesses so those areas will be strengthened and lined up with the Word of God.

March Miracles/Word Explosion
This month is essential for us and will play a significant role in what God wants to do in our lives this year. We need to make sacrifice this month.
• We are always under warfare. So are our G12 men/women.
• The enemy tries to frustrate our purpose and hinder us from what God has called us to do.
• People need help. God did not save us just for ourselves.
• The enemy fights our walk so people will not see God in us.
• The enemy tries to manipulate us and cause a blemish on our character. If he cannot get us to backslide, he will try and use our spouse or children, etc.
• We must keep on the armor of God. Proverb 24:10 10If thou faint in the day of
adversity, thy strength is small.
Ephesians 5:15
15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
• Your walk is a lifestyle, mindset, attitude, manner, behavior. It is advancing, traveling.
• Our days of being a fool should be over.
• The devil tries to make you look foolish because no one wants to follow a fool.
• Your walk will involve warfare.
• All of us at sometime in our lives have been foolish.
• Sin is easy to get in and hard to get out.
Galatians 6:7
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Proverbs 4:1-13
1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 5Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 11I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 12When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
• Any problem we have in our lives is a wisdom problem.
• Wisdom has a way and foolishness has a way. We must choose.
• “Lack in wisdom is to abound in foolishness” – Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• Wisdom is something you have to go after.
• Anytime wisdom goes forth, the biggest hindrance is receiving it.
G12 Life Group Notes–February 28, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
Proverbs 3:13-18
13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
• A sign of wisdom is happiness.
• A fool is always unhappy. That is because he has been beat down as a result of being a fool.
• Many people mistakenly think silver or gold (money) is going to make them happy.
• Everyone that gets and keeps wisdom is happy.
