Spiritual Living With Francois Fineberg

“Our Father.” Can any words in the entire Bible be any sweeter? Jesus taught this approach in prayer to His disciples. Shall we, in the modern age, pray in another way? Can intimate prayer before the Father be this simple? Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship. The emphasis of the school is to be trained wi...

“Our Father” is the prayer Jesus taught His kingdom people. There are fewer than fifty words in this prayer for those who dare to commune with God in secrecy. The prayer that Jesus taught, although small, is highly productive for those who can partner with the depth of those few words. One aspect of this “Pater Noster” is highlighted in the message. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within...

At the heart of kenosis is trust in God. Kenosis is less about self-mortification, suffering, or pain as erroneously purported by ascetics throughout Christianity. Kenosis is to trust God, not my flesh. Trusting God is perhaps the most significant issue that has to be settled within every man and woman who seeks to walk with God. Kenosis, therefore, is merely a means to a life of trusting God.  Ma...

You cannot claim the realities of a spiritual life according to the New Testament pattern without the workings of kenosis in your life. Kenosis was an obstacle for Satan.  Adam and Eve ignored kenosis in Eden. Kenosis has been a real problem for man throughout every era of his existence. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, had no issue with the principle of kenosis. As His disciple, do you have a pro...

For every man and woman who reflects God as image-bearers, a 3-part process ensues (see graph in Episode Web Page ) to transform that man and woman into His image. This process is seen in the lives of just about every character in the Biblical narrative. God still employs this very process today to transform modern men and women into His divine Person as glorious image-bearers.  Many of Francois'...

Why do you suppose God saved you in Jesus Christ the Messiah? What is your interpretation of the work of God in your life since your new birth in Spirit? What is God doing within you and ultimately through you? What is that you are hoping to get out of a relationship with God? Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Disci...

It is God’s burden for man to be a conduit for the realities of the unseen realm––the heavens. From God’s perspective, His work in the redemptive process is the recovery of His fallen image in man. God’s initial plan with a man was for him to be an image-bearer of the invisible realm. Nothing in that plan has changed. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual forma...

Even as Christ was the reality of God, the Holy Spirit is the reality of Christ. Through the Holy Spirit's ministry, God in Christ should be an experiential reality to the spiritual man. Partnering with the Holy Spirit enhances God's existence; disobeying the Holy Spirit frustrates that same reality. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called...

In this message, Francois discusses 8 potential hindrances to the Holy Spirit’s influence in the believer’s life. They are ignorance, unbelief, the natural man, rebellion, ongoing sin, woundings, showmanship, and blasphemy. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship. The emphasis of the school is to be trained w...

The Holy Spirit is pictured as a dove in the gospel narratives. Like a dove has two wings for the ability to fly, the Holy Spirit has two dynamics He facilitates into a believer's life for him to live the spiritual life. One dynamic cannot be stressed at the other's neglect, for both comprise the Holy Spirit's baptism in the New Testament. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the contex...

It is naive to live the Christian life as if there is no Holy Spirit. There are two fundamental reasons for this prevailing mindset. Francois shares those two views in this message and adds several practical applications that mark a life under the Holy Spirit's reality. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship...

There is a spectacular element to the Holy Spirit that cannot be denied. Many of us often deny the personal and renewing aspect of the same Holy Spirit. We fixate less on His work within us and more on His manifestations about us. God desires to work within us to such an extent that with one voice in the Holy Spirit, we cry out, “Come Lord Jesus.” Jesus cannot come from our lips if He is not first...

The Holy Spirit does a progressive work within the believer that is prophetically pictured in Genesis 1. The Spirit broods over the chaotic earth to accomplish six “works” for God’s purposes. Those six “accomplishments” are relevant within every believer who walks in the Holy Spirit today. Many of Francois messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY Sch...

The book of Acts almost presents itself as two separate books. The first part has a lot of Holy Spirit activity in it; the latter doesn’t. The first part is very supernatural and spectacular; the second part is bland and ordinary. What are we to make of these polarizing portions of the Acts of the Apostles? The answer may surprise you. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of...

If a “picture speaks a thousand words,” then a thousand pictures are needed to describe the Holy Spirit. In this message, seven realistic depictions of the Holy Spirit are highlighted with their practical application in the believer’s life. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship. The emphasis of the school i...

When all four Gospels reiterate that Christ will "baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire," an essential aspect of Jesus' ministry is emphasized. You cannot ignore this prophetic utterance regarding Christ's ministry made by His cousin! Unless you are open to Jesus' Spirit-ministry, you will not be ushered into His kingdom's realities. You cannot live the spiritual life apart from this particular...

In this intense message, Francois shares the difference between the Spirit of God and the flesh of man; their opposing origins and culminating fruit, from Genesis to Revelation. He makes a strong appeal to surrender to the Holy Spirit for the out-living of the normal Christian life according to God’s New Testament economy. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual...

What is your motivation in your pursuit of knowing God? Why is it really that you want to know Him? The inward constitution of a renewed spirit and a motivation of love towards God is the issue addressed in this message.  5 Issues that hinders the knowing of God, and causes the “hiding” of God is also discussed. Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation s...

The nature of the Triune-God is light. It is likewise the ministry of Father, Christ, and Holy Spirit to impart light into His sons and daughters. The Scriptures and the first century apostolic ministries both are agents of the light of God. The normal Christian life is therefore a life under this comprehensive unveiling ministry of light.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the cont...

A spiritual man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and not the word of mouth on the street. The word of man will mostly breed confusion and conjecture, a far cry from the New Testament standard of a spiritual man who walks in the light of God.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship. T...

The condition of your inner man either qualifies or disqualifies you from spiritual revelation. Knowing God intimately is entirely predicated on humility within a believer. To him who has this humility within, more of God will be known, experienced, and enjoyed.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship. The...

The natural man with his carnal faculties do not have the constitutional capacity to know God. Try as he might, his natural eye, ear, or imagination counts for nothing in the true knowing of God according to the Apostle Paul. Only in the Holy Spirit are you able to know the depths of God. This message repudiates human cleverness in the true knowing of God.   Many of Francois' messages are delivere...

The spiritual man is constantly growing in spiritual revelation, and more especially in the knowing of God. Although many divine items in God have a sense of mystery to the spiritual man, he nevertheless continues to know God amidst these mysteries. The importance of spiritual revelation is developed in this introductory message.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a s...

This episode addresses 7 ditches many a believer often finds himself in. It’s the ditches of Culture, Legalism, Sensationalism, Intellectualism, Libertinism, Sectarianism, and Emotionalism. These ditches frustrate the spiritual life so vividly described in the New Testament.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Disci...

In this very candid message, Francois discusses performance oriented spirituality. He breaks down how this illusionary spirituality takes root within a person and the subsequent spiritual experiences of those who fall into this ditch. He also discusses the differences between guilt and shame for those who constantly fail to live up to self-imposed spiritual standards.  Many of Francois' messages a...
