DECISION – > CHANGE –> TRANSITION –> TRANSFORMATION
• God is trying to break us. When we are broken and changed from our selfish ways, then God can use us.
• Brokenness is the key to enabling change.
• Brokenness is God’s requirement for maximum usefulness.
• Brokenness does not break your spirit or soul, but your will.
• God has a will. Satan has a will. We have a will.
• We need to follow God’s will.
• When you operate in your will, it is characterized by self-righteousness, and self-centeredness.
Psalms 51: 8-13
8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
• God wants us to be in position. We speed up the process when we are in position.
• When we are broken, we are teachable.
• We need to confess we have a clean heart. A clean heart is the beginning of being broken.
• The more we follow God’s Word, the easier it is to have fun.
• When you are self-centered, you say, “It’s me doing it.”
• God is looking for an opportunity to break us.
• We should desire for God to use us.
• The more we submit to our man and woman of God, the more our men/women will submit to us.
• Men/women who are unbroken are jealous of those who are broken
• We need a spirit within us that is fixed, confident, and committed to our church.
• We are in our faith walk for the long haul. We must persevere.
• As we are broken, we can be used by God.
• When we are fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit, He is helping us in our areas of weakness.
• God wants to expose our weaknesses so those areas will be strengthened and lined up with the Word of God.

This month is essential for us and will play a significant role in what God wants to do in our lives this year. We need to make sacrifice this month.
• We are always under warfare. So are our G12 men/women.
• The enemy tries to frustrate our purpose and hinder us from what God has called us to do.
• People need help. God did not save us just for ourselves.
• The enemy fights our walk so people will not see God in us.
• The enemy tries to manipulate us and cause a blemish on our character. If he cannot get us to backslide, he will try and use our spouse or children, etc.
• We must keep on the armor of God. Proverb 24:10 10If thou faint in the day of
adversity, thy strength is small.
Ephesians 5:15
15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
• Your walk is a lifestyle, mindset, attitude, manner, behavior. It is advancing, traveling.
• Our days of being a fool should be over.
• The devil tries to make you look foolish because no one wants to follow a fool.
• Your walk will involve warfare.
• All of us at sometime in our lives have been foolish.
• Sin is easy to get in and hard to get out.
Galatians 6:7
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Proverbs 4:1-13
1Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 5Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 11I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 12When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
• Any problem we have in our lives is a wisdom problem.
• Wisdom has a way and foolishness has a way. We must choose.
• “Lack in wisdom is to abound in foolishness” – Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
• Wisdom is something you have to go after.
• Anytime wisdom goes forth, the biggest hindrance is receiving it.
G12 Life Group Notes–February 28, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
Proverbs 3:13-18
13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
• A sign of wisdom is happiness.
• A fool is always unhappy. That is because he has been beat down as a result of being a fool.
• Many people mistakenly think silver or gold (money) is going to make them happy.
• Everyone that gets and keeps wisdom is happy.

I Timothy 6:12
12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
• Satan tries to manipulate our emotions and feelings.
• Everything we do is wrapped around faith.
Romans 10:17
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
• The faith comes by hearing.
• The more we hear the Word, the more faith is going to come into our lives.
• Faith must be acted upon. You must speak it out. For example saying, “I am healed, I am prosperous.”
• Faith is activated through our mouth and through our actions.
• We must understand that our lives are entangled in fighting the good fight of faith.
• The enemy tries to pull us away from what God has for us.
Romans 4:17
17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
• When we are fighting the faith fight we have to call some things that are not as though they were.
• You cannot call those things that already are and say they are not. For example, if you are in a car accident you cannot say I am not in a car accident. You can call yourself healed though.

• We can’t be quick to give up on people.
• Remember the process of: decision, change, transition, and transformation. It is a maturing process.
II Corinthians 10: 3-5
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
• Verse 3 is profound. Most people do not pass the test. We should not try to get back at someone who has hurt us.
• God blesses us according to our ability to fight the good fight of faith.
• G12 is about promotion. God is trying to take us to a new place of promotion in our lives.
• Every promotion has a test. The test comes in many ways.
• There is a test we have to pass as G12 leaders with Pastor and with our G12 men/women.
• When we are praying against something we should also pray against the strongholds associated with it.
• When Paul talks about strongholds he is talking about getting to the core or root of the issue.
• A stronghold is what the enemy uses to anchor the person to sin and things that are anti-Christ.

• We must understand we are at war.
• We cannot let stuff pull us away from what God has for us.
I Thessalonians 5:8
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
• Taking the shield means that we have to take it if we are going to get it.
• We must take on a conquering spirit. We have to want to be victorious.
• We have to fight fear, anxiety, lust, and stupidity.
• The biggest thing the enemy tries to attack is our mind.
• Salvation means: health, healing, deliverance, preservation, soundness, safety, and prosperity.
Hebrews 4:12
12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
• We have to keep the Word preeminent in our lives. We have to be in the Word each day.
• If you don’t stay in the Word, the enemy will use deception in your life.
• One of biggest deceptions is self-deception (no one can tell you anything).
Proverbs 18:19
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

WEAK LEADERSHIP BRINGS FORTH WEAK RESULTS.
Characteristics of weak leadership are:
1. Excuses
2. Lack of strong commitment
3. Wrong attitude
4. Not having a finishing spirit
5. Broken focus
6. Not rising to potential
7. Lack of growth
8. Lack of knowledge (an un-renewed mind injures others)
9. Wrong company
A weak leader is holding back the kingdom of God.
Weak leadership translates into poor results.
Strong leadership always has results.
Ephesians 6:10
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
This scripture talks about being strong in the Lord and not weak.
Romans 4:18-21
18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
“Who against hope” Abraham did not let his circumstances dictate to him. A weaker leader will allow the circumstances to dictate.

5. Unbelief
6. Giving glory to God

God cannot work through a weak vessel.
Strong leaders fight through whatever circumstance that may arise.
LEADERSHIP IS STRENGTHENED THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING.

Ephesians 6:10-18
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
The key words are: strong, power, and His might.
Armor means to be wholly armed in full armor.
Our life is about warfare.
We need to step up our game and not be thin-skinned and give up on people.
The word wiles refers to having an opening where Satan can attack our emotions.
We must not allow the enemy to manipulate us.
The devil is looking for any weakness.
The Bible tells us to examine ourselves.
What makes you angry? What makes you want to gossip?
We as men and women must work on ourselves.
If our eyes could be opened right now, we would be able to see demonic spirits.
Demonic spirits are waiting for an opening to attack us.
When we are under attack, we should look at where we might be missing it.
We must fortify the armor with knowledge or the revelation of who we are in Christ.
When it says take the whole armor, it means you can be operating in less.
We must oppose or resist the attack of the enemy.
If we have the shield of faith, we can prevail through all of the fiery darts.
I Timothy 1:18
18This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
The only good warfare is the one we win.
The enemy attacks our attitude more than anything else.
We have a responsibility to keep a good attitude.
Sometimes we have to work very hard to keep a good attitude.
G12 Life Group Notes–January 24, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
I Timothy 6:12
12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Our warfare has everything to do with living right.
Sometimes this means breaking off certain relationships.

Ephesians 6:10-18
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
The key words are: strong, power, and His might.
Armor means to be wholly armed in full armor.
Our life is about warfare.
We need to step up our game and not be thin-skinned and give up on people.
The word wiles refers to having an opening where Satan can attack our emotions.
We must not allow the enemy to manipulate us.
The devil is looking for any weakness.
The Bible tells us to examine ourselves.
What makes you angry? What makes you want to gossip?
We as men and women must work on ourselves.
If our eyes could be opened right now, we would be able to see demonic spirits.
Demonic spirits are waiting for an opening to attack us.
When we are under attack, we should look at where we might be missing it.
We must fortify the armor with knowledge or the revelation of who we are in Christ.
When it says take the whole armor, it means you can be operating in less.
We must oppose or resist the attack of the enemy.
If we have the shield of faith, we can prevail through all of the fiery darts.
I Timothy 1:18
18This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
The only good warfare is the one we win.
The enemy attacks our attitude more than anything else.
We have a responsibility to keep a good attitude.
Sometimes we have to work very hard to keep a good attitude.
G12 Life Group Notes–January 24, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
I Timothy 6:12
12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Our warfare has everything to do with living right.
Sometimes this means breaking off certain relationships.
II Timothy 2:3
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
People can make wrong decisions, but they cannot continue in willful disobedience.
We must take our share of suffering.
We should learn something from everything we go through.

Moving In His Power, Receiving His Promises
• This year will be focused upward and God will then be focused downward.
• Our job as leaders is to push the vision or the cause.
• We need to go out witnessing and encourage others to help our new campuses.
• We are going to continue operation PUSH, but also we will be going out through the week.
• Success comes from being on one accord.
•
Decision-Change-Transition-Transformation
• We are making decisions today about change.
• We should desire that this year will be an exceptional one. However, it will not happen if we do the same thing.
2 Chronicles 7:14
• This will be a theme scripture for this year.
Ephesians 6:10 -12
• “Be strong in the Lord”, this not a suggestion, it is a commandment. If we are going to live victorious, we must work on ourselves.
• Too often we try to work on someone else, instead of ourselves.
• Be strong means to have the ability of God.
• Our goal is to be endued with God’s ability. This is moving in God’s power.
• “Put on the whole armour of God” means to be fully armoured.
• Every day we have to be ready to stand against the devil. The wiles of the devil speak to his trickery and craftiness.
• If a young convert does not have a mentor, the percentage of him/her succeeding is very small.
• Satan uses every trick to get the new convert off track and us off track.
• We must remind ourselves we are not wrestling with flesh and blood. When we get angry, the enemy pulls us off track.
• Satan only attacks those who are next in line for a promotion.
• People make a decision, and begin to change, but it will be lost unless they go through transition.
• We must never let our guard down. If we leave our guard down, we will be down.
Jeremiah 1: 17-19
• God is saying he is going to fortify us.
• God’s power and ability will work on our behalf when we are lined up correctly with his word.
Jeremiah 51: 20-23
