THE DISCIPLES WALK

• We must give our whole heart.
Colossians 2:6-7
6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
• Walk in Him means we need to learn everything about Him.
• If we were actors we would learn everything about the person we wanted to portray.
• Walk is a command, an action word.
• “The wind of adversity in your life will determine the depth of your roots.” Phillip Goudeaux
• We all get attacked. If you are a believer, you are either going through or coming out of an attack.
• When we come out of an attack our roots should be stronger.
• If our roots are exposed when we are going through something, it shows a lack of depth.
• We should not allow discouragement, disappointment, temptations, tests, or trails to weaken our faith.
• A believer’s root should be growing each day.
• A tree that only gets surface water will not have strong roots.
• Reading the Bible and studying out words strengthens our roots.
• Abound with thanksgiving means not complaining. Talking about your situation will not cause you to abound. Don’t give glory to negative things in your life.
Colossians 1:9-10
9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
• Walk, live, and conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Lord.
• Our job is to work on ourselves. When we are working on ourselves, we are more forgiving of others because we understand the challenges we all face.
• We need to focus on ourselves. When we focus on ourselves, we get benefits.
• Bearing fruit means we are steadily growing and developing fuller and deeper insight.
• You cannot walk worthy without the Holy Spirit.
• Men/women have issues. We have to have the power of God in order to overcome insecurities, etc.
• The Holy Spirit is the empowering agent to aid and assist us.
Successful Leadership through the Government of 12 – Cesar Castellanos
Part II, Chapter 7, Page 161
• Men/women need to know how to raise standards.
• We are leaders. Our disciples must see our standard and should be able to draw something from our lives.

We should be focused on winning family members, neighbors, and co-workers with creative ideas.

We should establish a hit list of 10 people that we are going to win to the Lord. We must target our prayer and power to this hit list.


DISCIPLES WALK

Genesis 17:1
1And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

• The enemy wants to affect our walk so he can affect our testimony.
• We must be mindful of our walk so that we are bright shining lights to the world.
• When God says walk, He means in Hebrew staying before His face. God is saying, “Stay in My face.”
• God is telling us to live habitually before Him.
• “What is before you consistently is what you will become.” Phillip Goudeaux
• Two ways the enemy affects men and women’s walk is by what you hear and see.
• We must be on guard regarding what we spend our time on. We must guard and protect our walk.
• We should spend time on the Word and in worship.
• We should be around positive people.
I Kings 2:4
4That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

• Our walk affects not only those around us but those that have authority over us (such as Pastor).
• The failure in the walk of the people has caused some pastors to become discouraged and quit.
• God is interested in us and the leader He has placed over us.
• There is always an excuse why we cannot come to Sunday night service or Wednesday or Thursday night services.
• When the Holy Spirit is speaking, we must be ready to act on what we hear right away.
• God wants our whole heart.
G12 Life Group Notes– May 2, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

• God is not going to show Himself to someone who is serving Him with half a heart.
• Most people are only interested in God when they are in crisis.
• As G12 leaders, we must not allow ourselves to become discouraged.
• We can all step up our game.
• The biggest problem with some who have been at church for awhile is they have moved from revelation to displacement to crystallization to fossilization.
• Fossilization occurs when you are not on fire for God and have lost your zeal. We must ask God to rekindle our love and passion for Him.
Deuteronomy 6:5
5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

• God wants a total commitment.

Deuteronomy 30:2
2And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

• God commands us to obey all of His commandments.

DISCIPLES WALK
Ephesians 1:1-14
Ephesians 2:1-10
• You are careless when you act out of character and think you can do anything without consequences.
• You are either walking the disciples walk with God or you are walking with Satan.
• There is a conduct of the disciple that we must follow. We are not to do what everyone else does. We must not follow the course or fashion of the world.
• Ephesians 2:2 fits everything that we are dealing with in the world today. For example, everything that is wrong is made to look right, and if you stand up for what is right and descent, you are criticized.
• Satan’s job is to allure us with temptations.
• There is a walk the believer is commanded to follow. Ephesians chapter 1 talks about all the blessings of the disciples walk.
• Ephesians chapter 2 talks about what happens when we follow the old walk and what happens when we operate in the new walk.

Ephesians 4:1
• We are to lead a life that shows that there has been a change in us.
• While we are helping others, we are still growing.
• Four key words we deal with each day: decision, change, transition and transformation. These four words are impacting everything in our lives.
• If we want to experience a greater area of transformation and God’s greater blessings, we must walk in a greater area of how we conduct ourselves. We should be in a constant state of changing, and that is working on ourselves.
• When we are dealing with challenges, we become stronger through our victory.
Genesis 17:1
• “You never outgrow the area of growing.” Phillip Goudeaux
• God is not telling us to be perfect; He is telling us to strive for maturity.
• We must work on our mind and flesh every day.
• We must read the Word every day. The devil will fight us each day from spending time with God.
• We should be memorizing scriptures.
• There is a constant warfare in our lives to keep us from growing. We grow by praying, fasting, reading, and memorizing scriptures.
• There can be warfare going to church. The enemy will try to stop you from going to church Sunday night, and Wednesday or Thursday night.
• G12 is about our walk with God and helping others in their walk with God.

• 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.
