“Being Connected With the Vision”

Proverbs 29:18 Habakkuk 2:1-4 Luke 4:14-19 Acts 10:30


• In some churches - The Pastor has no vision

• Often in the church - The Pastor has a vision but the people do not get the vision

• When the people are not connected with the vision – They do not get the provisions of the vision

• When you get connected with the vision of the house – You are running with the vision

• Your greatest blessings comes through being connected with and running with the vision of the house

• God has an order – He tells us what He wants us to do - You can not do what you want to do

• You are part of the house – But are you helping to build the kingdom

• What are you doing to help build and take care of the house that you are attending?

• Every church that you go to, you should ask the “Man of God” what is the vision of the house - So you can get connected with the vision of the house

• What is Vision?
1. Vision is a mental picture of the future
(If you can see something, you will start going after it) God wants you to be so connected
with the vision of the house so you will start running with it
2. Vision is a plan or a goal, your hope, and your desire of what you see ahead
3. Vision will cause you to develop whatever skills you need to make the vision happen

• Three things that happen to you when you lack vision
1. It will rob you of your blessing and leave you in a perpetual state of need
2. It will keep you out of God’s plan and purpose, therefore causing you to miss a move
of God in your life
3. It will prevent you from seeing victory in your life and cause you to see only problems and
limitations

• Vision helps you to see the way God see things


• Remember - It is not Pastor’s vision – It is God’s vision

• The God given vision to Pastor Goudeaux thirty-one years ago

1. This will be a teaching ministry
2. A ministry of love
3. Multi-Racial congregation
4. A training Center
5. Ministry of schools
6. Outreach ministry
7. Deliverance ministry

“How You Look at Life”

Proverbs 22:9 Matthew 6 II Kings 4 Acts 27


• How you look at life will determine how life looks at you

• When things don’t go the way you want them to go - Or when you fail – Just keep pushing

• It’s about being persistent – Doing what you have to do - Hanging in there

• It’s about pursuing, overtaking and recovering all

• Where is your focus? – What you focus on will determine your attitude

• Focus on the positive and not the negative

• Whatever attitude you except is what you become

• A person with a poor attitude is always unhappy, always frustrated, and always a human magnet for bad things

• If you don’t adjust your attitude – You will never get to where God wants you to be

• Your attitude is always under attack

• If you get a negative attitude towards any area of your life – Things will not go good for you

• Change your attitude – Change your life

• If you can maintain a good attitude – You can come out of anything

• When ever you lose something – You should be crying out saying: ”Restore”

• You are only responsible for your own attitude

• Don’t allow your neighbor and all the doubt- helpers to effect your attitude

• Whatever you are going through – Just know that it is going to be well

• Do not become distracted or give up on your dreams and visions

• The angels of the Lord are in charge

• When facing the worse times of your life – There is only one thing God need you to do

• Keep a good attitude while going through it

• Six root causes of a bad attitude:1

1. Low self-esteem
2. How you handle stress

“Guarding and Protecting Your Attitude”

I Samuel 30 Proverbs 22:9 Proverbs 23:7


• You need to have the appropriate mindset because you are dealing with spiritual warfare

• The enemy is working hard to defeat your purpose or your destiny that God has for you

• Satan wants to frustrate your purpose - You need to have an attitude of pursuit

• Stay in the battle until you win – The game is not over until you win

• Pursuit means: to chase, to hunt, to track down, go after or to overtake, to pass, go beyond, and to out do

• David was a man after God’s own heart – He was know as a man of war

• Don’t lose your warring spirit

• You can not have a bountiful eye listening to all the negativity that exist

• The enemy is trying to break your focus causing you to stop looking at how big your God is

• What do you see? – How are you looking?

• Can you see some good things happening; can you see a turn-around, some favor, a blessing, a breakthrough? – Can you see God doing more in your life?

• You must live and walk by faith – If it is not working, you are out of position

• Most people who are out of position are there behind a bad attitude

• The most important asset is your attitude – More important than facts

• There are many facts around – But it is a good attitude that will change facts

• Your attitude is more important than what people say or think about you

• When things don’t go the way you want them to go – Make up your mind that you will not let it hold you back

• You know God has better things in store for you - you must live with high expectations

• Your attitude can either be an asset or a liability

• Your attitude determines you altitude

• Your attitude is important in all walks of your life

• Your attitude has nothing to do with your position

• It has everything to do with your disposition

• You must stay in faith – Staying in faith is keeping a good attitude

• Your attitude determines your success or failure

• Your attitude determines how you handle your feelings and emotions – Check your emotions

• Everyday - All day - For the rest of your life - You must work on your attitude

• Attitude determines your defeat or success - Your thoughts determines your attitude – And the man that wins is the man who thinks he can win

• The enemy is always trying to get you to think wrong things

• God can heal a bad attitude

“Grow Stronger Through Change”

James 1:3,-4 6 Romans 2:4 Proverbs 24:10 II Corinthians 4:9 Philippians 4:13


• Change is not change until it’s change - You are growing stronger through change

• Three things that will never leave your life: Change, Transition, and Transformation

• Some people ask for change yet they fight change = Because it take them out of their norm or what they are use to

• You don’t know what you want when you pray – You want what God wants for you

• When you pray, you must know that if you’re being changed and things are being flipped around – You must trust God in the change

• Change brings pressure – Under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true color

• Some changes you make yourself – Then there are changes that are forced on you

• What are you going to do? – Are you going to use your faith at this time?

• Don’t view change as a challenge – See it as an opportunity to become stronger

• In order to grow stronger through change do the following:

1. You must give-up fighting change

• Stop being an escape artist trying to avoid the stress that comes along with change

• Only when you ride the horse in the direction it’s going will you get to where you need to be

2. You must wise up - Use wisdom

• When you are suddenly hit with change, your “fight or flight” instincts arises

• You must go to God when this happens and allow Him to take you by the hand and lead you into change



3. You need to toughen up

• Take inventory of yourself – You can not do this by yourself – You need God

• Are you making it harder on yourself than it needs to be?

• Keep your mouth closed and trust God -Are you speaking faith or fear?

• Are you convincing yourself that you cannot handle the change?

• Make up your mind and know that you can handle it with God’s help

• God is concerned about everything in your life

• The Word says: “ask” and it shall be given “seek “ and you will find “knock” and the doors will be open

• God has increase on His mind for you

• Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely – Let it do its work so you become mature, well-balanced and not deficient in any area

• Resistance to change just creates ulcers, sleeplessness, and stress

• Change is here – Just get through it

• Some attitudes you must adjust:

• Thinking like a victim

“Positive Attitude in Down Times”
“Adjust Your Attitude and Change Your Life”

I Samuel 30:1 Proverbs 4:23 Hebrews11:16 Joshua 1:1, 2


• You must give honor to what God has put in place

• You can’t give dishonor and disrespect in what God has done then expect honor for you

• The way to recover all is to keep - The right attitude in the midst of your tough times

• Don’t focus on your pain – Focus on the one who can heal your pain

• When the hard times come your way – What do you do – How do you handle it?

• Do you allow it to keep you in bewilderment and pain for the rest of your life?

• You must learn to encourage yourself

• Self encouragement provides and opportunity for you to make adjustments in your attitude to where God can help you

• Do what you have to do to encourage yourself – Get some pom-poms, get some flags, and put on your favorite music

• When you encourage yourself – God will send some angels or something to help you in the midst of your situation that will change your situation around

• Your heart determines what will happen in your life

• That’s why the enemy is always trying to corrupt your heart

• You should never complain about life because – Life only gives you back what flows out from you

• How high you go or how low you stay is based upon your attitude

• If you don’t like where you are now – Change your attitude

• It is not what’s going on out there that is affecting you – It’s what going on inside of you

• God can still prosper you in a down economy

• Your attitude will change when you want it to change

• God is trying to keep you in position – The devil is trying to pull you out of position by sowing bad seed into your life

• A wrong attitude will cause you to be in a losing position all your life

• Adjust your attitude – Change your life

• Whatever attitude you accept - Is what you become

• The devil will work every angle to get you into a bad attitude

• God cut Moses off from going to the promise land because - Moses let the people cause him to get a bad attitude in a situation

• You must watch your attitude in every area of your life

• Let go of all the negative things in your life - Let them die

• Change your attitude – Change your life

“The Benefits of the Cross”

Galatians 2:21


• It was Jesus’ love for you that kept Him on the cross

• You have to own, walk-out, display, and take responsibility for what Jesus did for you on the cross

• The cross is an instrument of death – You must understand what Jesus went through to die on the cross for you

• What do you owe to the person that got you off death row?

• You should be going out of your way to make things happen for the church that Jesus gave His life for

• If you want to see a change in your life – Try to out-work, out-serve, out-help, out-give,
and out-pray every person in the church

• When you get offended, hurt or walk around in guilt and condemnation – You are making Jesus’ death in vain

• The three greatest words ever spoken was – Paid In Full

• The worst mistake you could ever make has already been paid for

• Now God wants you to walk around like you own the cross - You own the blood and truth

• He wants you to own that life and be somebody

• You are not insufficient – Jesus wants you to walk in the authority that He died for you to have – Not hopelessness

• There was a solution before there was ever a problem

• But if you don’t know that you are free – You will continue to act like a slave

• Don’t forget what you are suppose to remember – Don’t forget what Jesus went through

• Don’t remember what you are suppose to forget – It is under the blood - It’s done – Jesus paid the price and you are free

“Pursue, Overtake, and Recover All”
“Encouragement for Recovery”

I Samuel 30:1-9 Psalms 18:37 Judges 6:11-13


• Most people have several areas in their lives where they need to be pursuing, recovering, and overtaking all

• Hurting people – Hurt other people

• When you are hurting, you must quickly work on yourself – Because you might do something to hurt someone else even though you don’t mean to

• When going through the tough times of your life – You must find ways to encourage yourself

• Surround yourself with people who are positive and are willing to offer you encouragement

• At some point, you have to stop complaining and start doing something

• There is no overtaking without pursuing

• If you are going to be a pursuer and a over taker – You must have a good attitude

• Your attitude is the behavior and the mood created by something that you have chosen to focus on

• Your attitude is more powerful than your gifts and talents

• Your attitude is the force that determines whether you will – Multiply or decrease, grow or die, attract or repel the company of other successful people

• When you are going through something and you have the right attitude – God will bring people across your path that will help you get to where you want to go

• Your attitude is the power tool used by God to reconstruct your circumstances around you

• When you change your attitude – There will be many things that will leave your life

• What you magnify in your mind – Is controlling your attitude

• When you have a bad attitude – You are a human magnet for every negative thing to come your way

• When you have a bad attitude – The enemy will cause you to do dumb things

• If you can just believe that God is with you – It will start changing your attitude

• The Lord is with you – You mighty men and women of valour

• Change your attitude – Change your life

• If you change what is going out of you – You will change what is happening all around you

• When you have a bad attitude – You deliver yourself into all the negative things that are going on in the world

• Don’t allow your circumstances to have dominance over the Word of God

• Your attitude will decide the entrance or exit of a miracle in your life
