• When we witness to people, our follow up is time sensitive because we are in spiritual warfare.
Proverbs 13:12-13
12Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. 13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
• People are discouraged and many have a dismal spirit.
• Satan is using a poor job market and delay to trip people up.
• It will not be dismal for those that serve the King of Kings and the Kingdom.
• There is spiritual warfare and we must stay focused on the Kingdom.
• Four stages that people go through: decision, change, transition, and transformation.
• The ability to go through the transition (wilderness) stage is where people face the biggest challenge.
• Transformation is the final stage and represents the promise land.
• Transition is only a temporary thing for those of us who walk by faith and not by sight.
• When we are going through transition the enemy will fight our ability to stay in the Word.
• The enemy tries to make us look at the circumstances.
Exodus 14:7-15
7And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. 10And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. 11And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 12Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
.
• The children of Israel left Egypt with a spirit of boldness and their fist raised in defiance.
• They had strong confidence and boldness which they had not had in 450 years.
• It took 10 curses for God to defeat Pharaoh.
• Egypt represents Satan. None of us are exempt from satanic attacks because we are not yet transformed or where God wants us to be.
G12 Life Group Notes– August 22, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
• Anytime you have confidence, Satan will attack you.
• Pharaoh took his greatest army to attack the Israelites. They fell back into doubt and unbelief after being confident.
• Verse 11 and 12 demonstrate how the children of Israel let their circumstance talk to them. They tell Moses that they would rather serve Egypt or Satan. Question: Did the circumstance change God’s ability to perform? Answer: No.
• When bad circumstances show up, it is easy to fall back if no one is there to provide support.
• It is important that we read our Bible each day and attend our church services.
• Our families and those that depend upon us are at stake.
• You can never help someone get out of their situation without first dealing with fear. Fear is an obstacle that holds people back.
• Verse 13 shows the transition from fear to faith. We must look at situations that God has delivered us from and have faith that He can and will do it again.
• Fear is a major weapon. Question: Can God still do it again? Answer: Yes, He can.
• Moses did not know everything. He had faith in God.
• God was prohibited from doing everything He wanted to do because the children of Israel were not moving forward in faith.
• We must move forward.
• There is nothing gained in standing still.
• Faith is always moving.

Successful Leadership through the Government of 12
Reading from Chapter 8, “You Are the Leader”
• Our first job is to help our disciples to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• There are qualifications we should have as leaders.
• We want to do what Jesus did, and that is to magnify God.
QUALITIES OF A LEADER
1. He or she is recognized as a person of faith.
2. He or she is faithful to the message he or she communicates.
3. He or she is honored by the fruit of his or her twelve.
• “You cannot operate in the supernatural and exercise authority and dominion if you are natural.” Pastor Goudeaux
• No matter what group you have you will always have some differences. There are spirits that will try to keep them from being faithful and get them into sin.
• The leaders must operate in the supernatural and deal with the spirits that are attacking his or her twelve.
• It takes a supernatural leader to deal with supernatural things.

• The faith the scripture talks about is not faith by hearing, but “special faith.”
• We need to ask God to give us a discerning spirit regarding people so we can know what issues our disciples are dealing with. We can then help them to stay on track.
• There are spirits that try to keep us from being productive that we must come against.
• Our G12 groups should be a brotherhood or sisterhood. We should be pushing and encouraging one another.

QUALITIES OF A LEADER
1. He or she is recognized as a person of faith.
2. He or she is faithful to the message he or she communicates.
3. He or she is honored by the fruit of his or her twelve.
• “You cannot operate in the supernatural and exercise authority and dominion if you are natural.” Pastor Goudeaux
• No matter what group you have you will always have some differences. There are spirits that will try to keep them from being faithful and get them into sin.
• The leaders must operate in the supernatural and deal with the spirits that are attacking his or her twelve.
• It takes a supernatural leader to deal with supernatural things.
G12 Life Group Notes– June 6, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)
I Corinthians 12:8-9
8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
• The Holy Spirit gives supernatural gifts.
• The faith the scripture talks about is not faith by hearing, but “special faith.”
• We need to ask God to give us a discerning spirit regarding people so we can know what issues our disciples are dealing with. We can then help them to stay on track.
• There are spirits that try to keep us from being productive that we must come against.
• Our G12 groups should be a brotherhood or sisterhood. We should be pushing and encouraging one another.
