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
