G12 Life Group Notes–November 29, 2009–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 1 of 2)
Open in Prayer Song Testimonies Prayer of Three Witnessing Closed Cell
• There is a war for souls going on and we must stand in the gap for these men/women, instead of watching television, we need to spend 30 minutes standing in the gap – thanking God for the blood of Jesus and declaring the warring spirit destroyed from over their lives.
• There are spirits assigned over Sacramento, it is the capitol of California, and California is the most influential state in the United States, and the United States influences the world.
• Every time a man or woman dies unsaved, Satan takes joy in taking that soul to hell.
Acts 10:1-4
1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
• If you have a need, you should sow a substantial seed for your breakthrough. This counteracts and gets God’s attention.
• When we are going through some thing, we should give a memorial gift.
Decision – Change – Transition – Transformation
• It’s an eternal decision. We should not let people back us down. Every day we are faced with decisions. G12 is about moving us through transitional points.
• If we are not aggressively attacking the forces of darkness, the forces of darkness will aggressively attack us.
• We need to intercede for people coming to church and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• We need to work the altar call. When we don’t work the altar call, it is like trying to catch water with your hand open and fingers spread out. We need to pray for the altar call.
Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
• This is moving from decision, to change, to transformation.

Ephesians 4:17-25
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20But ye have not so learned Christ; 21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
• The vanity of our minds is what is holding us back.
• The vanity of your mind is thinking you are more than what you are.
• Once you are saved, Satan can’t make you do anything but he bombards you with different thoughts similar to a fisherman using different forms of bait.
• Once the door of sin is open, it multiplies.
• The open cell meetings help people move from change to transition.
• Lust always leads to sin, and sin always leads to death.
• The biggest issue we have is casting off the old man.
• Going to church is not going to transform you; however, you are in the right place to be transformed.
• Renewing your mind is an ongoing process.
Colossians 3:1-4
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
• “Seeking” starts transformation.
• Setting your affections can work for or against you. We must be dead to our old past life.
• We need to intercede for souls and not hold our fingers open, but closed so the souls can be won and transformed.
