Psalms 25:20-22
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

• Integrity, honesty, morals, principles, being ever true are all characteristics that we must maintain.
• Integrity has a standard. It must be allowed to have preeminence in our lives.
• People tend to compromise their standards. Whatever you compromise today, you will lose tomorrow.

Psalms 26
1Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 3For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 4I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 6I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: 7That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 8LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 10In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.

• Our men/women have to have a good baptism in integrity.
• People are looking for those who will maintain a high standard.
• We need to keep raising the bar.
• We must watch our mouths and not participate in any derogatory actions.
• We need to intercede, David “waited” with high expectations.

Psalms 26:1
1Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

• Temptation will come, but we must trust in God.

Psalms 26:11
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

• If you really want to please God, you must be a man/woman of integrity.


G12 Life Group Notes– January 23, 2011–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)

Genesis 39:1-15
1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. 7And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: 15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.

• When you walk in integrity people will see how God has blessed you.
• Joseph’s integrity kept him from sinning.
• Potiphar’s wife was after Joseph; however, Joseph honored his master and God by not yielding to temptation.
• Integrity will be tested.
• Once you pass one integrity test another test will come.
• Passing the integrity test will promote you to the next level.

James 3:16-18
16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

• The enemy is working on trying to get us in strife or thinking wrong thoughts.

Galatians 5:16 – 26
16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
• We must control our heart and our thought life.
• Anything contrary to the will of God will gather strength unless we take control of our thoughts.
• We must always ask ourselves, “is this thought from God.”
• We must not believe anything the devil says about someone.
• We must not be lazy when it comes to controlling our thoughts.
• 3 ways we can sin: words, actions, and thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10: 3 -6
3For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

• We have to deal with our thoughts, minute by minute, hour by hour.

Philippians 4: 8, 9

8Finally , brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things
9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God
of peace will be with you.

• Don’t hold on to junk.
• If anyone says something negative about you, listen and evaluate, but don’t get into offense.

Ephesians 4: 29 – 32
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that
It may minister grace unto the hearers.
• We are not called to tear down anything.
• Contrary to what God says is evil thinking.
• Evil thoughts coming out of our mouth undermines our Team.

Ephesians 4:16
16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself
up in love, as each part does its work.

• Every one of us has a position. We are part of a Team.
• Personalities are different; therefore we must deal with it in Love.
• We must control our minds.

“Covenant of Increase”
“Think Outside The Box Of Containment”

Psalm 115:12-14 II Kings 4:1 Matthew 13:44, 45 Matthew 19:19 -22

• You must position yourself for the blessings of God

• The challenge today is that people do not know what is inside their house

• You are never going to get rich working for somebody else

• You have to put yourself in the position to where you are the employer - Not the employee

• Employees are the “E” people – “E” people hang around other “E” people

• So they never break out the box to “B” and “I” people (Big Business and Investment)

• You must learn how to break out the box of containment

• Satan’s job is to contain you – To keep you bound to the system

• The system will keep you broke, busted, and disgusted

• If you really want to be rich – Take three piggy banks

• 1. Savings 2. Investment 3. Tithe

• You decide what to put into the bank, consistently everyday for the rest of your life

• If you do this – No one can hold you back

• Every person should have four revenue streams

• You need to be working everyday on building your four revenue streams

• Be the Captain of your ship – You determine which way your ship will go

• By the course and the destiny that you choose - What you choose to do or not to do

• You have to work at putting yourself in the position of being the Captain of your ship

• God wants to bless you and bless through you – He has got generations on His mind

• He wants to bless through you so that - He can bless your children for generations

• If you don’t get the right mindset – You will stop the generational blessings

• There are three kinds of people in the world
Those who are wondering what is happening
Those who are watching what is happening
Those who make things happen

• A key to success and prosperity in your life – Being on a search for where you want to go

• Then being willing to invest everything that you have – To get where you want to go

• Two things about your success you need to understand
Learn how to sell
Learn how to buy

• What do you have in your house? – That is your question

• What’s in your house will determine - What is going to happen in your life

• The miracle is not in what you have – Your ability to sell will bring prosperity

• Take your hands and put them to work

• God will bless all that you put your hands to do

Fasting
Schedule some type of G-12 outreach before the end of the year
Your greatest success is not what you take, but what you give back.
“Dr. Phillip Goudeaux”



Exodus 34:28
28And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

• Moses fasted and prayed before receiving God’s word – The 10 Commandments.
• Joshua was also fasting 40 days so the anointing also came over him.

Luke 4:1-2
1And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

• Your greatest success is not what you take, but what you give back.
• In order for something big to happen, there was fasting.
• Moses was able to overcome all of his weaknesses through 40 days of fasting.
• When Jesus came out of 40 days of fasting, He was stronger.
• Fasting helps you become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit; you are quicker to repent when errors occur.

Acts 13:1-4
1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

• Our fasting and prayer time must include ministering to the Lord.
• How much time do we spend ministering to the Lord?






G12 Life Group Notes– December 12, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux (Pg 2 of 2)


Acts 14:23
23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

• A mandate was given for prayer and fasting.
• You will never find truth as long as the flesh is in charge.
• One of the biggest challenges for men/women is the flesh.
• Our job is to keep our flesh under subjection.
• Before Christ we were body, soul and spirit. After receiving Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are spirit, soul and body.


I John 2:15-17
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

• Verse 16 defines what the world is.
• The unholy trinity: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life.

James 1:12
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

• The only way to avoid temptation is to have our flesh under subjection.
• God does not send evil our way to see if we will respond.
• When lust comes, it brings sin with it.
• No sacrifice for God will go unrewarded.


James 1:14 - 16
14But everyman is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

• Do not err.
• Lust only has one agenda.

• We have to come against pride and deception and the strongholds associated with pride.
• We must pray with the authority of Jesus.
• We must take authority and loose the spirit of pride, deception, and its strongholds.
• When you are praying for someone, you should pray, “By the authority of Jesus, I loose that spirit of pride and I bind their will to the will of God.”
• We must derail the spirit of pride by our prayer, confession, and the Word of God.
• If you don’t break the spirit of pride, that person is going to live a defeated life.
• Everyone deals with pride. If anyone denies that fact, they are not telling the truth.
• Pride never goes away, it always comes back.
• Pride will block your blessings.
• Many great people have lost everything behind pride.
• We must work with our men/women regarding pride.

Cindy Trimm has written books on praying with authority and power, such as “The Art of War for Spiritual Battle.” Most people don’t pray with authority.

• When you are operating in pride, you cannot admit you are wrong.
• It is also difficult for a person operating in pride to forgive or ask for forgiveness.

Proverbs 16:18
18Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

• God is stressing that pride goes before destruction.
• We should never think that we can have a haughty spirit and not suffer destruction.

Isaiah 14:13-15
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

• The devil is full of pride.
• We must share this message with passion.

 A lot of us have negative spirits driving us, some will come off without prayer and fasting.

James 4:4
4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

• We must resist the devil.
• There are spirits that have been assigned to us.
• Fasting helps us to deny our flesh.

Proverbs 10:4
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

• We have to work on being diligent, there is warfare waged against us.
• Fasting helps to make us disciplined and to keep our flesh under control.

Proverbs 13:4
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

• We must be able to control ourselves and keep our mouths shut when needed.

Proverbs 12:24
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

• Our flesh wants to be in control, we must control it.
• The enemy wants to brand us and take control of our lives.
• We must commit to crucify our flesh.

Exodus 20:9-17
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

• Our greatest sin is covetousness (covetousness is unrestrained or wrongly desirous of wealth and possessions, greedy.)
• We must not covet.

Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

• You cannot fully renew your mind without prayer and fasting. It encompasses denial.
• We must be disciplined.
• The more you discipline yourself, the greater the reward.
• The world wants us to conform to its values and flesh wants to do what the world does.
• G12 men and women are part of an elite team and it requires self denial.
• Fasting is absolutely required.
