G12 Life Group Notes– October 23, 2013 – 6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux __ Open in Prayer Song Testimonies Prayer of Three Witnessing Receive Offering Psalm 133:1-3 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Vision)! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard even Aaron’s that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore Proverbs 29:18 18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Why does God give us vision? 1. To reveal His will and His plan in our lives. 2. To open our mind and heart by vision. 3. To show us our true potential. 4. To give us guidance and direction 5. Vision takes us to new levels in our lives. Ezekiel 37:3-5 3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. 4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. • Do you want to go to another level? • Prophecy over your people. • Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones; he didn’t leave them the same way. • Can your 12 get 12? You know? What are you saying unto them? • Every Christian’s Destiny is Leadership and the process to achieve this goal and for everyone to be in a life group and eventually host a life group is the Pathways. • We should be inspiring/encouraging people to go through the “Process” and that is The Pathway to Connecting to Calvary Christian Center: Pre Encounter, Encounter, Path to Belonging, Path to Involvement and Path to Understanding Your Purpose. • For your life groups, you must be diligent about praying for growth in your groups by using Operation Empty Chair: The key to this is to have an empty chair in each of your life groups and to pray for that chair to be filled every time you meet. Prayer of 3: You should be praying for 3 people that you are believing to get saved in 30 days. You should also encourage your team to do the same thing and to take time out to pray for the prayer of 3. Quick Life Group tips from Pastor: • You should be helping your 12 get their 12. • Pastor’s desire is for you to have a G-12 meeting every week and Life Groups can be once a month. If you have a life group (only), you should do it as often as you can – people need you! • Remember Life Group is a feeder (a place where people fellowship until they show themselves faithful with their classes, etc., then they move to a G-12 Life Group (which is a closed cell).
