G12 Life Group Notes– December 09, 2012 – 6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux __ Open in Prayer Song Testimonies Prayer of Three Witnessing Receive Offering Renewing of the Mind “You can’t allow other’s immaturity to be a device” Dr. Phillip G. Goudeaux Romans 8:5-7 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. • When the enemy is attacking, his objective is two deaths: (mental and physical) • Don’t be shocked, the carnal mind is against (enmity=hatred, hostile) GOD • Whatever is lacking in your life is a sign of a mind not renewed in that area • Have a confession list and speak it every day • This gives credence because you’re diligently applying yourself • Memorize the Word of God • When your mind is renewed - your faith is strong • Whatever you abundantly put in - will abundantly come out • Prayer is important - Nothing gets done without prayer • There is accomplishment when you pray Romans 8:8-13 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But 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. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. • The flesh cannot please GOD • So the lack of renewing of the mind - the fleshlier you are • Verse 13 – mortify=put to death (body and mind) Create an environment for renewing of the mind for change 1. Desire for change (have a passion to move ahead) 2. Have a readiness to act (faith demands action) 3. Church attendance – by doing more, you determine the level of continual growth; Jesus did. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together 4.

Goudeaux Luke 11: 14-15 15 And he said, A certain man had two sons: And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in the land; and he began to be in want • This is when things began to change after he spent all he had. Then the famine came. • When you are going in the wrong direction, satan wants to keep you going in that same direction Luke 11: 18-31 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father; I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of the hired servants. And when he arose, and came to his father. but when he was yet a great way off his father saw him and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son came unto him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to the servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. V 30-31 As soon as this thy son has come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto hi, son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. • The key to restoration/renewing of the mind, is admitting. • He came to himself! And he received the Spirit of recognition • Failing to recognize, is one of the things that keep people back in life • When positive transformation occurs, you’re headed to something great • It’s a you issue, not your father”. Focus on you. • Both sons in the same house, both minds were not renewed • One left home and wasted his inheritance – The other one failed to recognize his inheritance • Both had the same advantage –But different sphere • An unrenewed mind will keep you away from everything that is good • We must keep the process ( renewing of the mind) growing • One son had it but didn’t recognize it – Many love God but do not recognize everything that is available to them • Instead they settle to just strive without taking authority • When your mind is unrenewed you have no comprehension of the love that the father has for you Points to create an environment for Renewing of your mind: 1. Desire to change – how strong is yours? The strength of it determines how fast you renew your mind. Desire defined– “crave for”. Whatever you crave will move you in that direction. It stimulates you to reach beyond. Desire starts you on the road to transformation. 2. Readiness to act. – Make a commitment to read a few scriptures, commit to the renewing of the mind and it will thrust you forward. 3. Church attendance – It’s crucial. It’s a part of renewing the mind. Its helps in the process to come and hear the word.(Your men and women also). 4. Studing the word – Hebrews’ 4:12 the word is quick … to the dividing of soul and spirit. 5. Praying regularly – Pray the word, God obligates himself to the word only. Pastor Goudeaux’s recommendation: Get the book “prayers avail much” Read it twice a day Personalize it Be tenacious about praying Ask for Prayer Requests Close in Prayer
