Yes, Ohio. No one is saying we did not experience the Lord there. I am not saying that. There was a mixture of both things there. Jesus and a system that would not allow Jesus to be King over each of us.
This is the problem we are talking about. We need to understand what happened there. I was loving Jesus, reading my Bible, reading other's Christian testimonies, loving the brothers and sisters and sharing what I was enjoying from times with the Lord in the Word. I was starting to find my freedom in Christ and realizing I did not have to submit to what men were telling me was God with regard to my practical life. I had not one thought against Witness Lee. I spoke not one word against Witness Lee. I was enjoying God and my Christian family. Then came the ax. It was wielded by the power invested in the hierarchy and I bowed to it and kept my face in that dirt until God mercifully lifted me up out of the pit I had been left in.
Should that have happened? Of course not. That was spiritual abuse, pure and simply. This kind of behavior does not belong in the body of Christ. It is Mystery Babylon the Great behavior. We have to face it. It was present among us. We have to get free to the core from the principles that allow the mystery of iniquity to work among us.
The devil's targets: those who are loving and walking with Jesus.
Tools to accomplish this:
. men with who will practice hierachy among brothers and who are coveting something other than pleasing God only and can be influenced by money
. men who want to be told by others what to do to please God
. men who want to be more "special" to God than others, (who want to sit on the left and right hand of Jesus)
We need to learn our lessons so we can have wonderful experiences of Christ together without the devil making inroads and destroying the basic building blocks of the kingdom of God: you and me walking with Jesus.
Thankful Jane
