Lord Jesus we love You. Grant us Lord to turn to You. We don't agree with death. Cause it to go away. Strip all that you have to away. Grant us to go on in You until we all arrive at the full knowledge of the Son of God and the unity of the faith. Mature in us Lord. For Your building and Your Body bridify us. We want to match You. How could we feel so terribly toward other believer's Lord? Lord I confess I feel terribly towards the ones saying all this negative stuff. Lord, be our Head. Be our center. Strengthen us ALL with power through Your Spirit into our inner man. Lord make Your home in our hearts. Don't give the enemy an inch in us. Bind him to the uttermost.

Dear friend in Christ,
You are correct the Truth is not a thing and Light is not a thing.
Jesus Christ our LORD and KING is the Truth and the LIGHT. What I see in your comments and your -prayer- I address respectfully. There is no ideal church except in Spirit and in Truth.
Reading the same recycled messages over and over, year after year, repeating the same prayers over and over have to bore our Great God and Father to tears. The only people who see something different, a type of Light under the ministry of Lee's work are new people who have never been in the LC or know anyone in the LC...or whatever the LSM is now called.
They stay long long enough there...and they are going to get bored reading the same messages, hearing the same messages just in different colors. Kool Aid is Kool Aid no matter what color it comes in. It tastes the same.
By my 5th year after having gotten saved in the LC, the messages, songs, hymns began to be broken records for me. There was nothing new coming from the Throne. That was because man stopped the flow from the Throne.
BTW...there was a time when there was no RcV...no life studies, no HWMRs. The saints took their KJ or NASB bibles to work and school which is what we used back then. They knew were scriptures were. As the opportunity rose to share the Word with someone, they took them to the Word and showed them the 'River of Life'. They would splash them and give them to drink from Fountain of Living Waters. Those days are long gone.
You may disagree and you are entitled to disagree. But I know what I speak of. That prayer you posted is the
same prayer I/we prayed back in 1975!!!
I do not know what the Recovery version says about vain repetition but in my bible
Matthew 6:7 says this:
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
The prayers of the LSM have not changed since 1975. Your prayer proved it.
I am not trying to be offensive whatsoever. But the TRUTH sets the captive free. LIGHT dispels darkness.
Religion and vain repetitions are bondage. You may not think you are in a religious church. It is not until you step out and the blinders are removed that we see the LIGHT. It was not easy for me to step out for I feared what would become of me and what would the LORD do to me. Why do people leave any 'church' ? (of course, the LSM is "the Lord's Recovery" -we know that.) Because it is dead. There is no corporate anointing. There might be some individuals here and there truly Anointed with the Spirit of TRUTH and the Spirit of LIGHT as there are everywhere, but by and large, the church is lukewarm or dead.
My prayer for all my brothers and sisters in Christ is for the Living, Kind and Compassionate WORD of God to restore their health, spiritual, emotional and physical and to heal their wounds according to His Promise. Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted, the sick, the lame, to humble the proud.
There are so many wounds. There are so many divisions. It is heart breaking to see. The world is making a laughing stock out of us.
No matter. Jesus Christ alone tears down the walls of partition. I keep running the race with endurance. I pray without ceasing pray. I do my best as most of us on this forum do, with the Help of the Holy Spirit to encourage and uplift Christians and non-Christians alike. (of course, most people here were in the LSM a whole lot longer than I ever was and thus their mission is to help those struggling with questions, doubts and fear of leaving the LSM, not to be afraid.)
For me, my mission is as the Holy Spirit gives me opportunity, I lead people to the Lord Jesus Christ. I teach them the Word of God and the Power of the Precious Blood of the Lamb so they too can share the GOOD NEWS with people without handing them a HWMR or life studies or an RcV with emphasis on Lee's notes.
We must all be careful not to grieve and stifle the Holy Spirit. Don't put Him in a box...be it the LRC (Lord's recovery) or otherwise. Otherwise He is not the LIFE GIVING, LOVE GIVING, LIGHT GIVING Spirit of God.
Behold He TRULY makes all things new. To Almighty God (El-Shaddai) be all Glory, Praise Honor and Blessing. For He alone is Worthy. HE in The Father, The Spirit and the Son, Jesus Christ--3 in One.
Blessings,
Carol G
