G12 Life Group Notes– August 15, 2010–6:30 a.m. Pastor Goudeaux
Open in Prayer Song Testimonies Prayer of Three
Witnessing Closed Cell
• Our men/women should see consistency in us and we should be outreaching to the unsaved.
• Assimilation – we should be inviting people to church and then getting them involved in one of our ministries.
• People are despondent and need something to happen now. Foreclosures and uncertainty abound. The field is ripe to win souls.
• It may sound small, but being on time is a big thing. It is the little foxes that spoil the vine.
• Our confession should be that we are builders.
• When God assigns us to something, we must stay on course. The temptations of life will try to distract you. We must fulfill our assignment.
• It is all about our prioritization. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to put a spotlight on us to help direct us to do what we should be doing.
• We must look at our prayer life and our thought life.
• Time is not our enemy. We need to learn how to use it wisely. We must start early.
• When hope is deferred it makes the heart sick. (Proverbs 13:12) The word hope refers to our dreams, vision, goals and plans. When it is deferred, detoured, or distracted, it “maketh” the heart sick.
• What we have today is a lot of sick people.

Proverbs 15:19
19The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
• Slothfulness is a spiritual problem that has attached itself. Laziness is a physical problem.
• Some people are in hope deferred status because of slothfulness.
• The decisions we make today determine our future.
Proverbs 15:13
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
• We must encourage people to look at the positives.
• We must act as a pillar for those that are being attacked.
II Corinthians 4:16-18
16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
• The Word is our substance and our hope.
II Corinthians 3:17
17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
• We must step up our game in reaching out to people. We should call, email, text, etc.
• We must encourage people: when hope is deferred it makes the heart sick.
