Conforming In His Image Through Truth
James 1:21
21 Where fore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
• Salvation is different than being saved
• Being saved is immediate but salvation is a process
Colossians 3:1-10
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds. 10 And have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him
• The saving of your soul is a process
• After salvation you have the responsibility for saving your soul
• Every time you have a life group meeting you’re helping to save the souls of the people in your group
• Helping to get them anchored in the Lord and in the Word
• You can get them delivered but it takes diligence on their part to stay delivered
• Staying delivered is staying away from what had them bound
• God is still a God of wrath and you can play out the grace that’s on your life
• God’s wrath is him taking his hand off your life
• You must take responsibility for yourself and repent
• Verse 10 , you must be renewed in knowledge
• The Greek word for knowledge is “epignosis” which means higher knowledge
• That higher knowledge is Truth
3 John 1-4,8
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosperth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear my children walk in truth. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth.
• What activates the blessing of verse 2 is you walking in the truth

John 8: 31-32
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
• “Word” in these verses means truth
• The more of the truth you get in you, the more it’s making you free
• You must stay in truth and not just hear it because truth is transforming
2 Peter 1:12
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth
• You should never be intimidated to tell the truth because people may know the truth but might not be in the truth
• Just because they’ve heard the truth doesn’t mean they know it or that it’s anchored in them
Ephesians 1:13
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.
• The word of truth generates faith which moves you to action.

Our Job is to Bring Every Man/Woman Into the Image of God
Ephesians 4: 17 – 20
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ:
• Your walk is your conduct or behavior
• Your soul can be saved, but your body will never be saved
• Your understanding is in your mind
• You must come into maturity through the renewing of your mind (Reading and studying the Word)
• If you received all that Jesus has for you - You would not live a lowly life
1 John 1: 8
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us..
• The job of truth is to make you free
2 John 1 – 8
1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truths. 2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
• When you are walking in truth, you are holding up a standard
• Truth brings you up - Sin brings you down
• You must want to stand and fight for truth
• The higher the standard you can achieve, the more God can trust you
• Truth demands change
• Compromise is easier when you fail to grasp the truth

• “Truth testifies of truth” – Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• God loves it when you walk in truth
3 John 1:8
• Once you receive the truth, you still need to be encouraged
• Truth will make a change in your life
• Truth keeps raising the bar
• It stagnates if you are not using and utilizing it
• Truth closes the door

The Purpose of G-12 – To aggressively Go After Men and Women
Genesis 1:26, 27
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
• You need to assist others in their walk
• God’s image was distorted by the fall of Adam
• Sin always distorts something good in your life
• Jesus was sent to restore man back into the image and likeness of God
• You have a responsibility to develop yourself and others
• This is where the fight comes in
• Men and women are dealing with:
Low self-esteem Anger
Unforgiving spirits Lust
Rebellion Selfishness
Stubbornness
• If one of the above areas is operating in you
• It holds God back from doing what he wants to do in your life
• If you don’t address these areas, you will only do things that’s convenient for you
Romans 8:29, 30
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
• Once you are conformed, you then can conform others
• God’s plan is for you to take responsibility and touch others
• You need to focus on 144
• You must have Life Groups (open) and G-12 Life Groups (closed)
• You must take time with men and women
• God has a predestinated plan for your life
• Life Groups – you must get men and women through Pathway classes, encounters, and the Vision process
• God’s predestination is for everyone to be conformed into the image of Christ
• Those whom He calls are justified and then glorified
• The glory was lost in the fall of man
• The enemy does not want you to have the glory back in your life
• Receiving the glory back is a process
• It does not happen overnight – It is a process
• Process conforms you into the image of Christ
In Genesis chapter three:
• God asked where Adam was
• He is asking the same thing today – Where are you?
• The enemy works to break your focus
• You are either conformed or in the process of being conformed
• You should not be “just maintaining”
• You should be provoking and changing the lives of men and women
• As you minister, God is ministering to you
• You need to be witnessing and praying for men and women
• You are here to be transformed into the image of Christ
John 15:1, 4-8
1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except, it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye bide in me 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without, me ye can do nothing. 6If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, an it shall be done unto you.
• Abide means to take up residence
• Our job is to bear fruit
• Which means to bring men and women into the image of Christ
• If you would just take the responsibility of mentoring and bring others into the image of Christ
• How many marriages could be saved, children saved; and man living longer?
• Some people ask why things are not happening – Because it has not materialized
• God’s goal is to bring men and women back into His image
• When you bring men and women into the image of Christ you are abiding
Genesis 1:28
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
• God blessed the ones who were conformed
• Multiplication is in other men and women, bringing them into the image of Christ
• That is when you are subduing the earth
• It is a shame if you are not being conforming or conforming others
