You may not hear this in the Recovery, but Heb 8.10-12 says:
Quote:
10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israelafter those days, says the Lord.
I will put My laws in their minds, and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
11 No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their iniquities, and remember their sins no more

I John 2.27 also speaks of the anointing teaching us, and we not needing the teachings of men.
Evangelical, here is the difference between the Bible and Lee -- Lee's teachings get between the Word and the children of God. Lee takes away their liberty to directly follow the Lord. I told you about how elders would be chastised publicly for attempting to follow the Lamb directly.
Real Shepherds and Teachers lead the saints and open up the Word, but do not get between them. In Acts 20.30 Paul warns us about those who rise up teaching perverted things, and drawing the saints after themselves, rather than leading them to the Lord. This aptly describes Lee and his ministry.
