G12 Life Group Notes– April 21, 2013 – 6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux Open in Prayer Song - Testimonies Prayer of Three Witnessing Receive Offering The Value Shift The value shift is what the enemy fights. We must help others see it and hold them accountable. Dr. Phillip G. Goudeaux Luke 14:21 21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. • There has to be an urgency within to help others shift • My mandate is to “bring “ • You must go out of your way and “ bring” • The enemy fights “bringing” even harder than witnessing • That’s another value shift… - From witnessing to “bringing” Luke 14:26-27; 34 26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? • If you have anything / anyone ahead of GOD • It stops you from making a value shift • You must hate (love less) • Because they’ll have influence over you, over GOD • Verse-27 “Cannot be my disciple” • Not everyone will be a disciple • Some just follow for bread and water Luke 16:1 16 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. • Jesus was always challenging His disciples (Preparing them for the world) • They needed supernatural stamina • To meet demanding times, you must constantly shift • It’s a tragedy when the Pastor shifts but the people with him don’t • Therefore, they don’t experience all that GOD has for them • Persecution comes with blessings • A value shift is changing a mindset/ destroying strongholds • With strongholds - Comes the lack of value shifts Summary: • A value shift occurs because you start doing something • GOD wants you to be busy and not to lose saltiness • Don’t lose your stance in values. • You can’t allow others to shift you (Such as supporting homosexuality) The Bile is the dividing point!
