“Moving in his Power and Receiving his Promises”

Foundation Scriptures:
Ephesians 1:19 Ephesians 3:20 Ephesians 6:10

• Attention Calvary: This is what we are believing God for in 2010

1. Debt Cancellation 2. Doors to Open

3. Household Salvation 4. Miracle Money

• The power in your life is for others – This is a year like no other – Full of power

• Did you know we can be Christians and still have issues – Receive his promise

• There is power to help people in life – We are to manifest the power

• You are called to release the power and receive the promises – It’s a principle

• The power that works in us will give deliverance to you as well as others

• Great power is in you – laying dormant – Release the power within you

• It is according to the power of God that works in you – We have the power

• People get a spirit of being tired and they can’t do anything – I will try to do it

• To try to do something when you are tired is failure – If you do something you will not be tired

• Get up and do something – Don’t sit on the power – Tiredness, shyness is a spirit

• When we don’t like to do something it shows – It’s shows in the way we do it

• Manage the power in you – Examine yourself in the word – God use me in some area

• God is with all that will release the power - God will use you – Release the power

• The anointing is on us – Jesus, the anointed one and his anointing


Four areas we must walk in - Faith – Love – Wisdom - Righteousness
Matthew 9: 8 John 10: 18

• Anointing represent power – Burden removing – Yoke destroying – Power of God

• A room changes just because you walk into it – The anointing and the power

• The world is in bad shape because we do not use the power – Power is divine

• Equality - Authority –Submission – Rightful place – Authority only - No power

• It will not work if you have only one – Releasing the power makes others equal

• Equality is both authority and power – The Church that makes a difference is the Church that releases the power

• This is a year like no other – Move in his power – Receive the promises

The Disciples Walk

Romans 6: 1- 4
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid .How shall we, that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized unto his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father , even so we also should walk in the newness of life.
• There is a walk that every disciple should have.
• People are looking for those that are walking upright.
• We should live in a newness of life.
• A lot of people examine everyone but themselves.
• We need to work on ourselves and any issues that we have.
• All leaders must examine themselves.
• We must be able to take correction.
• A person with the right spirit sees correction as a stepping stone that will make them better.
• We should be emulating Christ in every area.
• When we are under attack from someone, we must recognize that it is God’s battle, not ours.

Ephesians 5: 1 -14
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
given himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.
• Remember Christ loved us in our sins (when we had done wrong).
• We need to walk in love, even when people viciously attack us.
• When we make a commitment to walk in love, we will have an opportunity to use it.
• We must avoid jesting and gossiping. For example, instead of joining in gossip,
• We should start giving thanks for what God has done in our lives.
• Don’t let anyone talk you out of obeying God.
• We are to walk in newness, as the children of light, not as the children of darkness.
• We were in darkness, and we walked as the children of darkness.
• Therefore, we must make corrections. The 3 areas that will help us walk in the light
• Are understanding God’s goodness, righteousness, and truth.
• We should reach out to the unsaved; however, we should not have intimacy with them.
• We should be prepared to reprove or correct people when they are out of line.
• God commands us to see clearly and be aware of our surroundings.
• We should not look like people that are unsaved or dead.
(Example: if you went to a morgue where there were dead people, if there was someone
stretched out sleeping, they would appear dead). Everyone that is unsaved is dead.

• Don’t be afraid to be different than your counterparts.



G12 Meeting Sunday (4/18/2010) 6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux 2x2

1 Corinthian 15:34
• We must walk in the newness of life. We must have an awareness of who we are in Christ.
• We must walk in love, not hate or bitterness and anger


Isaiah 52: 1
• We have a responsibility of living an aware life. This means not sleeping with the dead or being carnal.

Ephesians 5:15
• We must walk in the newness of life.
• We must walk with God in love.
• We must walk as children of the light.
• We must walk circumspectly

All of the above are a part of the disciple’s walk. It is a personal responsibility of each one of us to make sure we are watching every aspect of our lives.

II Timothy 2:1-2
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
• Spiritual warfare, there are battles that go on with our disciples.
• Timothy was a Pastor of the Ephesus Church, and it was going through attacks.
• You don’t find out where people are until there are pressures or attacks.
• The devil tries to locate where you are. He took out 1/3 of the angels. Without Jesus, we don’t stand a chance.
• How we get strong is through reading the Word each day.
• In verse 2, Paul was telling Timothy not to appoint just anyone, but make sure they were tested men.
• Faithfulness tags along with strong commitment, reliability, etc.

G12 is different than open cell. You want to select faithful men/women (reliable, trustworthy). Correction will locate level of commitment. You often cannot tell where a person is until you correct them. You cannot put an immature person into a leadership position.

I Corinthians 4:1-2
1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
• God is not going to turn things over to an immature person.
• Good character reflects a level of maturity.
• We are all stewards.
• God has put a lot into us and requires a lot of us.
• We must be faithful and prove ourselves worthy of trust.
• When we give people trust, we are giving them power.
• “The way up is service.” Pastor Phillip Goudeaux
II Timothy 2:3-5
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
• When you are going through hell, endure it. Stay single-minded and focused.
• When you lose focus, you lose ground.
• You endure by staying in faith. When Peter was walking on water he began to sink because his faith began to drop.
• When you are going through something, there is a lesson to be learned.
• You have to hold your position by staying in faith.
• Our job is to please God. To be a good steward, we must not get entangled in circumstances.
G12 Life Group Notes– April 11, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Page 2 of 2)
• Pastor is challenging us to stay in faith.
• To strive means exertion, effort, strong commitment either physically or mentally.
• Crown refers to a victor’s crown of honor.
• Paul is talking to Timothy about warfare.
• We have to continue to exert and strive to get the victor’s crown.
• Some want the crown without the exertion.
• To make a big difference, we must stay focused.
• The enemy wants to throw us off by creating negative feelings, like people failing to attend G12 meetings.
• We must keep doing what we are doing now and not slow down.
• Our goal is 144 (we have 12 disciples and they have 12 disciples).
• God gives us a mentor. We must be faithful protégés.
• Are you striving to reach our goal of 144? The enemy works hard to stagnate us.
• Maintaining means stagnation or another word is stinking.
• Our exit in life will live longer than our entry.
• When Paul writes lawfully in verse 5, he also means having the right attitude.
• You cannot be a Christian leader and stop striving.
• We must push ourselves and push our people.

John 12:24
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• In other words, it will reproduce itself many times, once it is dead.

John 12:25
25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
• Holding onto the worldly way of living will not produce spiritual results.
• It will not produce a spiritual life.
• It will reproduce a fleshly death or corruption.
• What does dead or death actually mean? The dictionary defines “dead” as incapable of being emotionally moved or unresponsive (in other words, no feeling or core, lacking sensitivity of feelings).
• The person is not fruitful, they are unproductive, dull, inactive, and without resilience, they cannot bounce back from anything.
• Why are the fleshly attacks so great against G12?
Romans 8:6-9
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

• After looking at the dictionary definition of “dead” above, and reading the scripture, you’ll better understand why we must die to ourselves in order to really live and run with the vision.

• Lacking sensitivity of feelings
• Not fruitful
• Unproductive

• Without resilience ( can not bounce back from anything)
Why are the fleshly attacks so great against G-12
Romans 8 :6-9.
6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace.
7. Because the charnel mind is enmity against God ; for it is not subject to the law
of God, neither indeed can be.
8. So then they that are in the Flesh cannot please God.
9. But ye are not flesh, but in the spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Speaker: Assistant Pastor Richard Braxton

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.

March Miracles/Word Explosion
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.
