The Vision of G12
Two Words - Responsibility and Ownership
G12 is a Safety Net - A Necessity
• A lot of the time you get passed over because we don’t take responsibility
• The enemy works hard in this area - “No order, No discipline equals Chaos!”
• You must be 100% responsible for your job, your marriage, your men/women and other areas
• Ownership: You must take Ownership of your vessel, your family, and your issues
• You are a magnet to what you are - You attract
• Maggots hang around maggots
• Some will not advance because they don’t take Ownership
“GOD will have you start, then your heart will (must) follow.” Pastor Phillip Goudeaux Jr.
Renters vs. Buyers
• Renters don’t take Ownership
• When some people rent a car, they put regular gas into a car that requires a high octane
• Why? – Because the car does not belong to them
• A lot of people want the blessing - But they won’t get it, because they do not take Ownership
• Your life will not be any better until...you take Ownership (of CCC)
So if you don’t pick up the paper... is that the way you live?
• You can’t separate Ownership from Responsibility
• After that comes Accountability.
• What have you done in this area that prompts promotion?
• Do you have a renter’s mentality” – It’s a damnable spirit
G12 Life Group Notes– January 19, 2014 – 6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux __
• Everything hinges on leaders taking Ownership
• You can’t have leaders that are “renters”
• G12 leaders must follow up and go out of their way
• Nothing happens unless you take a hold of the Vision
• Can you be honest with yourself? (Do a self-exam)
• Do you have needs and wants, but nothing is changing?
• Do you have a renter’s mentality?
• We must start doing and changing
• Then, rewards and development occurs
• We must cause GOD’s love to be seen in us
• Make your G12 men and women responsible
• Silver pins need to have an open life group
• Take Ownership and be Responsible

“Having a Heart for the Vision”
Don and Charlene Johnson
One of the greatest frustrations for a pastor is imparting vision into a people that do not have the heart for the vision
God will grant the desires of your heart, but God is not your Santa Clause. However, it is His desires that He will grant, not your selfish desires
Proverbs 13:12
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
• When the desire (your dream, your vision, your idea) comes, it is a tree of life
• God will give you a dream, a vision, an idea - And it will be a strong desire
• But most of the time you are not ready for it, so God will send you to a ministry to prepare and develop you for your assignment
• If you don’t know what God’s desire for you is, get involved in the vision and you will begin to see what God wants for you
• God urges you to get involved because He will tell you why you are there
• God will send you an email, and it will cause you to recognize your purpose and your plan
• God will help you bring your hope into the earth realm
• He aligns corporate and personal vision - Your unique vision is defined within a united vision (vision of a church)
• Nothing great will happen without enthusiasm
• God can stir up the vision that’s on the inside of you - Just seek His face and ask Him to stir up the gift
Passion is the Fuel on the Furnace of Achievement
There are Three Types of Vision:
Acts 16:9-10:
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Unique and United Vision is Connected
1. Unique - Your finger print, your distinction, that which distinguishes you from anyone else
2. United - The church’s vision (Pathway to Connecting to CCC)
the vision of the house
3. Universal Vision - All must serve God with all their heart
HAVE YOU BEEN FAITHFUL WITH WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU LIFE FOR?
• What motivated God to create you, why did He put breath in your body?
• You must discover your distinction and it is found within a bigger vision
Luke 16:12
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
• God wants the glory out of your life
• One definition of Glory is: the full of weight of the matter
• God gets glory when the seed of greatness that He put in you is manifested out into the earth realm
Ezekiel 40:1-4
1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
• Your life does not take off until you get in vision
• In the clear word it says. “ I was taken off in vision…….and shown the Lord intentions (vision is what God intends) God is trying to restore, but He does it in vision
• God connects you with the visionary so that the anointing can flow from the head down - but it’s based upon the degree you work the vision Psalm 133:1-3
• Most of the time, God is trying to release an anointing and bring restoration to the church and to your life
• God is wanting to reintroduce the Kingdom back into the earth realm and He wants to do it through you
The Anointing (Psalms 133:1-3)
• God wants to put the anointing on you for the kingdom, to make a difference in the lives of people
• Every burden can be removed, every yoke can be destroyed because of what’s on the inside of you
Matthew 6:33
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
• Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and not the things
• Seek first His Vision and His righteousness and all the things will be added
• The Vision is there to water the seeds of greatness in you
• God wants you to be faithful, and leave the success up to Him
• We have the greatest Pastor and if you run with the vision, you cannot lose

Why Does God Give Vision

Why Does God Give Vision
Ezekiel 40:2-4
2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south 3 And he brought me thither, and behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed, and he stood in the gate 4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee, for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither, declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
God reveals His Will and His Plan in our lives
• Vision brings restoration to the (people) and to the (church)
• You can be in the Kingdom, but still walk in darkness
• People with no vision perish; you must have vision
Acts 9:5
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
To open our minds and heart by vision
• Paul’s conviction was so strong that he had to be obedient
• He had a change of mind and a change of heart after his encounter
• He said, “Lord, what would you have me to do”
Genesis 15: 4-5
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
To show you your true potential
• God will give you a vision to show you your potential
• To give you guidance and direction
• Vision takes you to new levels in your life
Luke 16:12
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
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?
• Prophesize over your people
• Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones; he didn’t leave them the same way
• Can your 12 get 12? - Do You Know? - What are you saying unto them?
• Every Christian’s Destiny is Leadership
• The process to achieve this goal is for everyone to be in a Life Group
• Then eventually each person should host a Life Group
• You should be inspiring and encouraging people to go through the process: “The Pathway to Connecting to Calvary Christian Center”
• The process is: Pre Encounter, Encounter, Path to Belonging, Path to Involvement, and Path to Understanding Your Purpose
Quick Life Group tips from Pastor Goudeaux:
• You should be helping your 12 get their 12
• Pastor’s desire is for you to have a G-12 meeting every week and a
Life Groups meeting once a month
• If you have a Life Group (only) you should meet 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.) After that is accomplished, they move to a G-12 Life Group (which is a closed cell)

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).
