Day 659 – "Your own worst enemy…"Tuesday, August 3, 2021...

 

9:40 am...

 

There is much disharmony in the global church – God’s bride; the ambassadors of agape love...

 

Even though we know our enemy is spiritual, it is important to recognise the fiercest spiritual enemy of the lot...

 

Arguably, the greatest adversary to God’s church hasn’t been the spirit of another religion, the spirit of anti-Christ, or subjective morality’s relentless rejection of God’s Kingdom principles...

 

'We' are our own worst enemy; we--the church...

 

When spreading the Word, I often remind myself that when a person looks at me, they’re seeing all the atrocities the church has committed. This is a part of the calling one must endure in order to stand before the world representing Jesus as ‘His bride...’

 

Human fallibility, misinterpretation, weaknesses, wavering, and vile, atrocious abuses are all on the church's CV...

 

When a person who doesn’t know Jesus sees us, they often will see the horrible things done in the name of Christianity...

 

We—the church—are our own worst enemy...

 

Advice I was given at the beginning of my walk with Christ: “keep your eyes on the Cross...”

 

Thankfully, we were and are warned in abundance about this difficulty...

 

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.Matthew 7:15

 

The aforementioned verse incites thought of those select tele-evangelists, who will deliberately target mature widows for financial gain.

Day 665 - An Event to Change Life… Monday, Aug 9, 2021...10:12 am...

 

There is only one event I know of in history which has had the power to transform everything as we know it. No exaggeration...

 

One event that if received and accepted as fact into someone's psyche, transforms their life and the lives of those around them in the most powerful of ways...

 

There is no other single event that can make such an almighty claim over the human psyche as this one moment in history...

Day 691 – Theft…Saturday, September 4, 2021...

 

00.24 am...

 

Yesterday, I received one of those infamous phishing emails...

 

What provoked my interest and my written journal note here was the narrative within...

 

It had allegedly been written by a 'generous' couple who had won the national lottery and wanted to share their wealth with several random beneficiaries...

 

Suffice to say, I think the most upsetting thing about this message wasn't the deceptive fable...

 

It's that some poor, naïve recipient will believe it...

 

There's going to be a person out there, who will follow through with the details outlined in the email to acquire the supposed, benevolent donation...

 

I sometimes mistakenly think of theft as somehow weaker and less damaging than other self-preservative motions, but this was a reminder of just how much it can ruin a life...

 

When that phishing email does its dark work, the concealed, shadowy perpetrator on the other end will have access to important details that can allow them the opportunity of cleaning a person out of all their assets...

 

The thought incited by the email was that theft should never be taken lightly, no matter how small or 'justifiable...'

Day 705 – The complications of the spiritual… Saturday, September 18, 2021...

 

01.31 pm...

 

I've always loved how regular exercise and a healthy diet are part of a simple, mathematical equation for solid, physical fitness...

 

But when it comes to holiness, even though it's such a simple, pure, clean reality, living up to the expression of such behaviour has a myriad of internal, hereditary complications. I have found that they largely come down to relationships and associations...

 

In relationships, we're healed, but we're also seriously damaged too, leaving nasty scars and festering wounds...

 

The hope, faith, and prayer are that in restoration and redemption gracefully offered by Christ, we can see a measure of Kingdom integrity in our progressive transformation as Christians, sharing wholesome values and creating real community here on Earth...

Day 711 - Light in the darkness… Friday, Sept 24, 2021...05:17 pm...

 

When the Light of God shines, there's not a single thing left hidden...

 

Other human methods used to evaluate our souls will leave blind spots, but the Light doesn't abide the darkness - everything is revealed...

 

This illumination is progressive. To reveal all to us would lead to overload, but the Light is gentle, compassionate, and patient...

 

Make no mistake, all is exposed...

Day 697 - The fall of the world… Friday, Sept 10, 2021...10:55 am...

 

Sin...

 

A word that has been misused, abused, misinterpreted, and confused, so much so that it no longer holds weight in contemporary, western society...

 

An acquaintance approached me yesterday in Leicester Square and we engaged in our usual discussion about the world...

 

As always, I approached the world from my Christ-centred, Spirit-led disposition and he stood on his psychological, philosophical stance...

 

He posed the question that he's asked a number of times over the last few months...

 

"How do I find a good woman?"...

 

The problem that my good acquaintance has come up against is one that's far bigger than him and he knows it. He's young, wealthy, has good parenting, and a solid education. He has succeeded in his career path and has a stoic disposition about life, but he's identified a challenge he can't overcome with psychology or philosophy, hence his question...

 

He's dated and seen the ugly power that Instagram has over humanity...

 

Currently, he sees no other choice with his dilemma than to adapt to the world around him, acknowledging that such adaptation will be catastrophically unhealthy. But as he puts it: "What's a young person to do?"...

 

The fall of the world since the days of The Garden has transformed us all - noticeably. Some will acknowledge it. Some will dismiss it. Some will call it progress and evolution. Others will call it regression and devolution...

Day 673 - Spiritual blindness is real… Tuesday, Aug 17, 2021...08:43 am...

 

It's incredible that two people, both severely wounded by identical traumas, brought to a place of despair and longing, can have opposite reactions to the Gospel…

 

Was it something in their genetic makeup? Was it the way in which they psychologically received the wound that was different?...So many variables within these two areas...too many to count...

 

With this difference, we can see one decide to fall on their knees in surrender to an invisible God - an illogical move when considering self-preservation and survival in a tangible, visible world; and we can witness another outright refuse, denying any possibility of a God despite the abundant number of testimonies and the inherent evidence in the Design...

Day 681 - Nothing to fear… Wednesday, Aug 25, 2021...11:01 am...

 

I received several messages this week, preaching a similar message...

 

If we believe, or trust, or love, or revere, or fear God, the fullness of that thought process and accompanying emotion should promote a fearlessness inside us...

 

Why?...

 

God has said very clearly and repeatedly "not to fear" "not to be afraid" "not to be anxious"...

 

Do we really believe this?...

 

Do I really believe this?...

Day 714 – Our Real Reflection… Monday, September 27, 2021...

 

09.44 am...

 

Only by looking at The Light can we see our truest reflection and understand our unequivocal need for help...

 

No human system or teaching can allow us to see this reflection in its fullness, because no man-made creation has the capacity to comprehensively excavate and expose the workings of the human heart...

Day 721 – Knowing we are forgiven and the natural expression… Monday, October 4, 2021...

 

07.06 am...

 

To contemplate and accept what we deserve as human beings and the dark deeds we've committed against Christ, is a significant part of being able to express the joyful, peaceful, sacrificial life of gratitude for His grace, love, Truth, and mercy...

 

As such, it's our duty to share the uniqueness of our identity in Christ...whatever that may be...

 

"Write it out of you and you will be clean..."

 

This was a Word gifted to me by God when I returned from a mission trip in 2018...

 

It's not 'works' for salvation as some may mistake...

 

This is faith and actions working together as explained by one of my favourite books - James...

 

"You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone...as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead..." James 2:24 & 26...

 

From today onwards, I'm going to dedicate a great deal of time to the novels that have been placed upon my soul. There's no better time. See you on the other side...

BEING A GOOD PERSON (VII)

 

How ‘human progression’ steals, kills, and destroys the produce of healthy, Holy fruit

 

Being a GOOD PERSON – Part 7 – ‘On-demand’ culture neutralises patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and temperance...

 

Deception is riddled within every part of western society’s infrastructure – social, political, agricultural, financial, relational, psychological, and of course, spiritual.

 

Like a genie offering infinite wishes, technology makes the marketplace hyper-responsive to our desires; however, there's a deceptive cost from these 'Djinn,' that amplifies selfish ambition--otherwise known as greed--and diminishes the human propensity toward selflessness.

 

It is the price we unwittingly pay for the convenience and ease that technology provides, but what I’ve observed is that this 'tax' directly afflicts the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

 

Through the over-reliance on technology, the covert 'toll' stolen from our soul, transforms us from agents of Truth into vessels of deception, living-out self-deceived lives, and deceiving others as well.

 

It’s an awful perpetual cycle, permitted by the collective consensus of society, and rooted in the broken, fallen nature of humanity, which is inclined toward self-preservation, self-exaltation, and self-gratification.The

Day 707 - Understanding Mercy… Monday, Sept 20, 2021...07:17 am...

 

Undoubtedly, the toughest lesson to digest about the sovereignty of God is unpleasant to savagely traumatic affairs that occur in life…...

 

How could something so evil befall me?...

 

Why did it happen like that?...

 

Did it have to be that way?...

 

It is only when by faith we begin to fathom the gift of eternity, that we can start to comprehend the strange mercy of God in a horrible event meant to shape us into more loving and loveable people. But for the individual, this assessment must transcend human judgement and wield spiritual discernment...

Day 663 – Ignoring Warnings…Saturday, August 7, 2021...

 

01:35 pm...

 

Despite the horrible tragedies in life and the situations where we're constrained to a disposition of helplessness, we're given multiple warnings in this world...

 

We're given so many warnings that one has to wonder how we miss them...

 

Wounds...

 

Pain and suffering, while being the ultimate warning, can also operate as roots for ultimate deception and a distraction from the caution they offer us...

 

When we're hurt, we allow for the autopilot of self-preservation...and self-preservation breeds a hardened heart...

 

A hardened heart doesn't accept further warnings. It does what it wants by its measure of survival, unable to yield to 'another way...'

 

But the warnings will continue as its part of sovereign grace...

Day 700 – Simplicity in Holiness… Monday, September 13, 2021...

 

10.16 am...

 

It’s astonishing how simple holiness is and how complicated sin makes life for us...

 

Holiness is optimum health in mind, body, and spirit - a sacrificial, servanthood posture forged in humility and surrender before God, counting others' interests—friend or foe—more important than our own...

 

Sin utilises our selfish human desires, no matter how good or noble, to bring anxiety, depression, disappointment, distraction, and a myriad of other dark emotional dispositions...

 

To uphold the holiness expression in everyday life, running this race well, we need to be fed by the Bread of Life that is the Word of God...

Day 679 – A new week…Monday, August 23, 2021...

 

09:09 am...

 

Ever since returning to London, I've loved Mondays...

 

The transformation of my mind over the years has translated the concept of 'Monday' as "a new start...an innovative opportunity...a fresh beginning..."

 

The goal is always the same - advance spiritually, mentally, and physically...somehow...

 

The physical is the easier part: heathy food, plenty of water, cardio training, and resistance exercise.

 

Mentally, the focus is on cultivating a 'sound mind,' which aligns to the deeper spiritual operation: Surrender before the Creator of Heaven and Earth in all I say and do...not so easy...not easy at all...

Day 683 – The road gets narrower…Friday, August 27, 2021...

 

07:56 am...

 

I've said it before, so many times now, but I did not expect life to get harder...

 

The strange things is, it's also getting easier...

 

It's getting harder because the Truth is getting narrower...

 

It's getting easier because the Truth is getting narrower...

 

Answers come quicker, deciding between right and wrong...

 

This is because right and wrong have revealed themselves as selfless time expenditure and selfish ambition respectively...

 

It's increasingly harder because the narrow road is extremely lonely at times...

Day 655 – Choosing and Denying…Friday, July 30, 2021...

 

11:30 am...

 

More often than we care to think or believe, there are forks in the road...

 

These forks exist in our thought processes and actions, manifesting from the options between two wills...

 

These two wills are distinct in that one boldly declares: "through Me you shall have everlasting life." The other conspicuously entices: "You can have what you desire as you see fit today..."

 

The latter is the broad road most choose...

 

The former is the narrow road that few find, understand, or care to know about...

 

Of the two roads, there is clear behaviour, thoughts, and deeds conceived that display the heart's choice of will... Check out my novel 'The Paradise Induction' HERE: stephen-l-france.com/buy-the-novel/

Day 721 - One last illumination… Monday, Oct 4, 2021...10:58 am...

 

Western society’s influence over fictional narratives has seen that an enjoyable story no longer pits good against evil...

 

It’s now ‘authority’ VS ‘curiosity’ OR ‘obedience’ VS ‘rebellion...

 

The latter of each of these man-made binary opposites is cunningly revealed to be good and the former is depicted as the villain...

 

In this turn on fictional narratives, the subtle rebellion is actually against the moral authority and sovereignty of The Father and the promotion of indulging whatever seems right subjectively...

Day 653 - What do the 2 greatest laws look like in reality?… Wednesday, July 28, 2021...12:48 am...

 

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”Matthew 22:37 - 40

 

I’ve always seen that the two great laws of Christ can be deconstructed into four tiers that flow together harmoniously...

 

1) The first commandment means receiving the love of God, since He loved us first...

 

What does this mean?

 

It means God provides us with the greatest worth, significance, and security, exemplified in being important enough to die for.

 

This also means those three components of our psyche--worth, significance, and security--are rooted on something intangible, immovable, and consistent as opposed to a fluctuating, oscillating, inconsistent base.

 

2) The secondary component of the first command is for us to love God.

 

What does this mean?

 

It means absolute focus on God as the centre of our lives, intertwined in every facet of our thought-life and actions, expressed in selfless living the way Christ modelled.

 

God loves to see His children “getting along;” therefore, loving God manifests in the natural realm as loving our neighbour or as Jesus puts it, "And the second is like it..."

 

This moves us onto the second commandment.

Day 657 - The secret self-righteousness of the Christian heart… Sunday, Aug 1, 2021...10:06 pm...

 

The pains and dangers of worldly sorrow are real to the Christian heart…

 

If a Christian is satisfied in their life performance, they become lukewarm. No question…

 

This leads to self-righteousness, which breeds ‘worldly sorrow…’

 

We don’t want worldly sorrow…

 

Worldly sorrow sounds like this: “I’ve done everything right. Why is it I’m not getting what I want?”

 

It’s a massive distraction and a lie…

 

To be obedient to the leading of the Spirit is a privilege in itself, not something where we require a reward…

 

We are not to boast about anything that happens while being led by the Spirit…

 

The epitome of Godly sorrow is when someone is attacking us and all we want to see is our attacker’s blessing and salvation…

 

Godly sorrow and rejoicing come hand in hand…

 

We must understand that we cannot bring anything to God. This is key...

 

Every emotional problem, every relational issue, every challenge in life, every single act of disobedience, rebellion, and hurt is conceived by self-righteousness…

 

We must acknowledge we are poor in spirit. Spiritually bankrupt…

 

We are owed nothing…deserve nothing…entitled to nothing…

 

We can do nothing to add to God…

 

But Christ didn’t die for nothing…

 

He died to make us someone who would live for the glory of God...

Day 709 – Perfection within Imperfection… Wednesday, September 22, 2021...

 

07.09 am...

 

Living in an imperfect world that proves its immense multitude of crimes, weaknesses, and flaws daily, we have an opportunity to embrace Perfection...

 

The choice to cleave to said Perfection, conceives a natural expression of selflessness that the moral person can only dream of...

 

This doesn't mean the imperfect world changes. After all, given the fallen human condition, lies spread faster than Truth...

 

But it does mean that for the individual, who has decided to faithfully seek Perfection, they are renewed daily, becoming the most productive person possible in line with helping their fellow man...

Day 702 - Learning to Love Life in the Trenches… Wednesday, Sept 15, 2021...18:34 pm...

 

Learning to love life even when times are hard is one of the many profound secrets of a healthy life and mind...

 

The Apostle Paul put it best: "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:11 - 13...

Day 687 – The beauty of the journey…Tuesday, August 31, 2021...

 

10:09 am...

 

A really difficult piece of advice to digest is the spiritual and physical reality that the journey--no matter how difficult--is to be enjoyed...

 

The cultivation of patience, the companionship through a hard time, and the lessons learnt on the path all contribute...

 

We have to keep going...

Day 651 – Manufactured Perseverance…Monday, July 26, 2021...

 

10:10 am...

 

When it's difficult to see where everything is going, especially with the world being what it is today, to offset any doubts, distractions, or deceptions, it can be productive to create healthy challenges...

 

In overcoming these 'manufactured' challenges, a sense of achievement and reward from the healthy exercise can be relished... Check out my novel 'The Paradise Induction' HERE: stephen-l-france.com/buy-the-novel/

Day 671 – Yielding…Sunday, August 15, 2021...

 

08:26 pm...

 

Yielding is not natural to the survival mindset of human consciousness... Yet, it's an action that MUST be done in sincerity in order to access the greatest transformation of mind one can ever know... Thankfully, we have a God who will show us how to surrender, should we choose to ask...

Day 693 - The Natural, Sincere Joy of Life… Monday, Sept 6, 2021...09:55 am...

 

Joy...

 

The most natural, sincere joy of life does not emerge from the visible or tangible...

 

Such temporary joy can be stolen when the relationship changes, the situation mutates, or the bio-chemical-release wears off...

 

Difficult though it is to perceive or conceive, foundational joy comes from an overwhelming gratitude for something unseen and intangible...

 

An event some 2000 years ago that's presence is felt in all manner of grace, love, and forgiveness that this world reveals to us...

 

I pray to increasingly comprehend what the death and resurrection of Jesus really means...

Day 647 – Endurance and Perseverance…we need both…Thursday, July 22, 2021...10:30 am...

 

Perseverance - "persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success"...

 

Endurance - "the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way"...

 

We need both in this increasingly challenging and competitive world...

 

Sometimes, we have the luxury of purpose with many obstacles in the way. All we need to do is keep moving forward...

 

Sometimes, we don't know the direction, yet there are still forces attacking us. This is when we need to stand firm under the pressure until the onslaught is over...

Day 661 - Trusting an invisible plan… Thursday, Aug 5, 2021...10:12 am...

 

One of the hardest things to do as a Christian is walk the journey after understanding what the promises of God really say...

 

He does not promise financial affluence...

 

He does not promise career success...

 

He does not promise a loving, healthy relationship with a sound-minded spouse...

 

He does not promise a happy life...

 

He guides and leads us in denying the self...

 

He guides and leads us in renouncing selfish ambition....

 

He guides and leads us in yielding our life plans to Him...

 

And then hardest of all, He asks us to trust Him in a plan that for all intents and purposes, doesn't look favourable to our personal desires, because it's a plan of becoming emptied, then filled with selflessness, sacrificial love, and forgiveness....

 

This walk looks impossible, but God promises He does the impossible...

Day 677 - Unity in faith… Saturday, Aug 21, 2021...11:44 am...

 

In creation, there are universal laws. Laws that transcend mind, body, and spirit that when broken. misused, or abused, reap painful consequences…

 

One such law is unity...

 

Despite what many will proclaim about the concept of 'healthy disagreement,' the highest calling within holiness is 'love and unity...'

 

We were designed and built for unity, agreement, and the joy that comes from profound, unwavering connection with one another in one Truth and one Truth alone...

 

Let's not be fooled. Let's seek the highest calling together...

Day 669 - True transformation is rare… Friday, Aug 13, 2021...10:13 am...

 

It’s a hard fact that most adults don’t change their deepest inclination once they reach a certain point…

 

Their worldview becomes fixed and from that moment on, it’s a quest for knowledge, information, and power to encourage or support a pre-decided notion of how to live…

 

They may allegedly take on a new worldview, religion, or philosophy, but only to serve the pre-disposed heart inclination and ambition that they feel belongs to them...

 

This is why the path of repentance is so special…

 

If followed according to the hard choices one has to make in line with sincere repentance, the individual surrenders. It’s a white flag. A confession of the deepest sort. An admission of the hardest kind…

 

“I was completely wrong.” “I don’t know anything.” “I’m not a good person at all.” “I desperately need help.” “Teach me your ways…”

 

All of these statements are part and parcel, commencing transformation of the subconscious, which is how real change happens...

 

But how often do people truly yield with genuine recognition of their inadequacy, selfishness, and imperfection?...

Day 649 - Proactive and not reactive... Saturday, July 24, 2021...12:40 pm...

Reactivity often traps us in a situation where we compound the issue, even when the reaction looks holistic and comprehensive...Check out my novel 'The Paradise Induction' HERE: stephen-l-france.com/buy-the-novel/
