Dear Igzy,

I am with you on this "The Recovery Thing." I cannot ever remember using the term and was and am very bothered when I hear it. It absolutely refers to the work of Watchman Nee and those who seek to carry it forward. This is in the principle of the big tree versus the mustard seed. The tree is a perennial plant where as the mustard plant is an annual and must be new every year. The Lord's work is in the principle of the mustard plant and is always new and not some kind of tradition. The Holy Spirit plants His work new and fresh and does not depend on the passing on of a spiritual tradition or movement. Acts 13:36, "For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers, and underwent decay;" Here we see a very important principle. God has His servants for their generation. He never establishes a dynastic type spiritual work. David died!!! The Lord must raise up new servants for every generation.
