Advertise on podcast: Spiritual Living With Francois Fineberg

The very desire within humanity to become one with another person through loving and being loved, knowing and being known, is not a mere human inclination, but a reflection of God's own desire for unity and love with mankind. It is His divine burden since the beginning to be one with humanity, a mission that He fulfills through His Son and the Holy Spirit. This "oneness" is what the spiritual live is all about.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Paul stated a peculiar phrase when he preached to the Athenians, saying, “In Him we live and move and have our being.” What did he mean by our “being” being in Him? In this message, Francois speaks to the “deeper” aspects of the spiritual life —the reality of the believer’s union with God in their being, their essence, their core, their spirit.

Jesus spoke about the “fall” of Satan. The Old Testament alludes to the devil’s “ousting” from heaven. John’s letter mentions Jesus “destroying the works of the devil.” But what does all this mean, both Scripturally and for us, spiritually and practically? How do we reconcile the Biblical account regarding Satan's demise with the present situation of our world, evidential of his ongoing activity? This is a question that demands our intellectual engagement and a deeper understanding.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Believers often overly demonize things, especially when it comes to sin. They reckon that freedom from demons and so-called “generational curses” automatically guarantees a life of sinlessness. However, the reality is far more complex. Sin is not a simple entity to be exorcised, but a nuanced and complicated aspect of our spiritual lives. And so, when they stumble again into sin, they routinely suspect their “deliverance” as incomplete. They get caught up in a demon-deliverance-ditch cycle over and over again. This message, by delving into the complexities of sin, is sure to enlighten and clarify these confusing matters to believers. Francois also offers guidance about maintaining freedom in the spiritual life.     Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

In this message, Francois speaks candidly about the ministry of exorcism. He speaks to both the victim and the minister alike, providing practical guidelines for this type of deliverance. His burden for appropriate exorcism stems from the many abuses and hurts he has witnessed throughout his ministry career. Perhaps, no other ministry focus has hurt and confused God’s people like the ministry of exorcism.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul addressed the notion of spiritual defilement. On the one hand, he states that evil spirits can defile one. To deal with this defilement requires exorcism. On the other hand, Paul explains that one can also be defiled by one’s conscience that has come under the influence of the diverse superstitions of one’s culture. For the cleansing of this defilement, one needs revelation. Francois tries to navigate these complex issues in this message. He essentially boils it down to this: the stability of a believer’s spiritual life is not just dependent on their participation in the Lord’s redemptive work, but also on their deep understanding of it.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Francois highlights seven aspects of navigating the reality of evil spirits. He gives stern admonition to the Body of Christ not to carelessly label one another with “this-and-that-spirits.” He mentions a few principles of demonic exorcisms and concludes with an encouraging word on the Holy Spirit compared to evil spirits.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Evil spirits are real and still a part of Satan’s harassment of humanity. However, is it genuinely Scriptural to label every difficulty in us and life as the consequence of an indwelling unclean spirit? Truthfully, accusing others of “this-and-that-spirits” has caused untold harm to the Body of Christ. This teaching aims to bring a balancing word to those who demonize others and especially to those who have been hurt by an accusatory believer as being demon-possessed.

Does Exodus 20 truly teach the modern concept of generational curses? What was the original context in the Old Testament regarding the issue of curses? Is the word “punish” even in the text? Why was it never an issue in the New Testament? And why is the phrase “generational curse” conspicuously absent from both the Bible and the writings of the first 300 years of Christian history? This message explores these questions and more.   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

The concept of spiritual and generational curses is a prevalent topic for many Christians today. While there is a measure of truth to the reality of “curses,” it's clear that many Christians are deeply confused by this concept, its Biblical validity, and its ongoing influence within the life of a genuine believer. Even more, many are deeply hurt by other believers who accuse them of generational curses. Can the concept of generational curses be justified Biblically? That’s the focus of these messages.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

In this message, Francois highlights numerous suggestions of what proper Biblical and spiritual authority looks like. Although not exhaustive, these pointers address some positive aspects of authority and also the frequent abuse thereof.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

In this message, Francois contends that “spiritual warfare” is less an issue of aggression, attack, and techniques but more of one’s disposition of meekness, humility, dignity, honor, and glory. According to Psalm 8, God even uses the simplicity and weakness of a child to deal with the enemy. Jesus Himself attaches “greatness” to the “least” in the Kingdom of God, showing that God's power is not limited by human strength.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Those truly born into the Kingdom of God occupy a spiritual position and authority greater than that of John the Baptist. As Jesus taught, believers should not be intimidated by anything hurled against them by Satan. Instead, we can stand firm, dignified, and with the authority that Christ has granted us, actively resisting and withstanding the schemes of the Devil.    Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Francois suggests three more items to frame a New Testament understanding of the “judgment” of the “ruler of this world.” One of these items is the tension between truth from God’s perspective versus truth from our perspective. According to Christ, Satan is judged. According to our experience, however, this reality seems untrue. What, then, do we make of this tension as believers in the victory of Jesus over the Devil?   Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.

Jesus stated that Satan was “now judged.” However, we should not presume that Jesus’ judgment of Satan was the eradication of Satan. Until this very day, Satan seems to be very much alive and well. So what, then, is this so-called “judgment?” Among many things, Francois proposes that it is both the “eviction” and “exposing” of the Devil.  Many of Francois' messages are delivered within the context of a spiritual formation school called, LEGACY School Of Discipleship.
