I agree CMW but that knowledge is power. And that power is pouring into a dead sea. What good is it? The minerals of the word are not finding their way into the world. Why? because the 'LSM' is sick and not functioning properly.
My point was a parallel.
Dead sea: All forms of nutrients flow into it. But it's dead. Yet mankind can harvest the riches from it.

LSM: The rich word has flown into it, but what good is the rich word if it isn't mixed into the world?
Can mankind harvest the LSM? I'm not sure. But I'm sure the Lord can if there are ears that will hear.
I meant to say the LC not LSM sorry CMW.

Aww.. I get it now. THANKS. I also changed LC to LSM for the sake of the readers.
And you are absolutely correct. We did receive depth and rich, meaty food in the LC but we got fat on it. They didn't want to spread the meaty, rich food with the rest of our Christian brethren not meeting in the same way we met. They preferred to criticize their food. They wanted THEM to come to their feasts and throw away their meat.

Until recently, the Lord did not give me much freedom to share and 'teach' what I gleaned from HIS WORD when I was in the LC. In my time, there was no LSM. We were either the LC or 'the LORD'S RECOVERY'. I think 'the Lord's Recovery' term began to take shape around late 1976 or 1977. The LSM took shape much later after I left. As I wrote earlier, in my tenure there, the Word was so foreign to me that I prayed for wisdom, revelation and understanding of HIS WORD especially in matters of Sanctification, Redemption, and the Power of His Blood. By Faith I spoke the Word of God into me. We all did. Sadly, not many experienced the Power of the Word of God transforming their lives from the inside out. Their outer shell appeared transformed by the way they dressed and spoke. However, we all are tested by Fire...that is how we know whether we pass the test or have to study again and re-test until we get it. The tests never seem easy but staying steady and focusing on our Faith in CHRIST, the WORD becomes TRUTH and REAL in us. Deliverance then is not merely a doctrine but our experience. The Blood is not merely a teaching but we know the effectual working of it because we experience it first hand. We know the POWER of JESUS' NAME because we don't repeat it roboticlly. We call on the PERSON...not just a 5 letter word.

Following the years of leaving the Lord's recovery, I discovered the Power of the Blood of Jesus through deep repentance. How did that happen? I fell flat on my face. I saw the Blood in action speaking on my behalf, washing me and also covering me because I asked the LORD to forgive me, to wash me and to cover me. I was also willing to pay the price for my action. I could have been fired from my job. As much as I hated that job and its unfair treatment, I did not want to lose my job getting FIRED. I had been called out on something I had done wrong. Out of frustration, I tried to cheat but got caught. I explained why I did what I did and was willing to suffer the consequences. Over the weekend, I went to the LORD with a repentant heart for my action. I asked the Lord to forgive me & to cover me in His Blood but I told Him, whatever happened I would accept.I was not fired. I was not embarrassed for no one knew what had happened except me and the supervisor and GOD. That was one of the ways I experienced the Power of the Blood of Jesus and the Power of Repentance. But years before I was taught on repentance and the Blood of Jesus in the LC.
I don't think the LSM teaches on Repentance and the Blood much does it?

Now I can teach on the Power of the Blood and know exactly what the scriptures mean.
One LSM sister who has been there for over 30 yrs is in awe that I 'KNOW' the power of the Blood because she doesn't YET. I ask her 'HOW is it you do not know the POWER of the BLOOD? We were taught the same scriptures.' She has no answer and gets squirmish trying to answer it.

But boy oh boy...she's 'clear' Brother Lee was absolutely 'right' on his opinion of the white horse. See how absurd that is? She'll argue my differing view as if she 'knows' Lee's view is absolutely FACT & uncompromising yet she doesn't KNOW the BLOOD of JESUS is the MOST Powerful FORCE of the Universe.

I don't care whether the white horse is the gospel or the AC. It is the Blood of JESUS that keeps the demons away from me. It is His BLOOD and HIS NAME that delivers me from my enemies & my sins, my transgressions. & Hopefully I am more sanctified than ever that I don't willfully sin anymore. It is the BLOOD of JESUS that allows me to enter boldly into the Holy of Holies, the Throne Room...not whether the white horse is the gospel or the AC !!!

When I talk to people saved and unsaved I tell them and explain to them the wonder working power of the Blood of Jesus and how HIS Name is the Name above every Name. She passes out BFA tracts.
I don't use formulas to share the gospel. I go by the leading of the Holy Spirit. If my LSM friend tries to tell people about the Lord, she always uses the same formula, the 3 circles of man.
My beef is not with her. My beef is how could this 'deep teaching' we received turn people into robots as Awareness wrote?

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a leading elder & his wife in the LSM at their home. He brought up the Lord's soon return and how 'Brother LEE' believed there could be several raptures. The key phrase here is 'Brother Lee'...what Brother LEE 'believed'. What about what the BROTHER believed through his own findings??? Not standing solely on Brother Lee's teachings???

To that I replied "WHY OF COURSE!! Throughout the Bible there have been several raptures beginning with Enoch who was and was not! There was Elijah who was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire, we know Jesus was 'raptured' but we call it His Ascension. It's also possible that those old testamant saints who resurrected and walked around the city preaching the gospel when Christ arose were raptured too. It's not recorded but it's not recorded they died again either. And I went on...

The brother was thrilled with the info I provided him & his wife with. I didn't get it from the LSM. And I can't say I learned it all on my own either. I learned this info from Perry Stone's teachings !

I sometimes have thought WOW...if the men & women used mightily by GOD could just unite in CHRIST surely we would turn this world upside down. Thankfully, one day SOON this will become a reality.
