I say to Nee : It takes one to know one. Given the conflict of Nee's wonderful ministry, and his private sexual proclivities, I'd say Nee had tremendous soul power.
And then there's Lee's confession that for 30 odd years he was working from his natural man, so Lee had tremendous soul power too.
It's the power to attract simple minded or ignorant ones, looking for answers in someone of greater minds than them.
Just look into Nxivm, and the control an extraordinary genius mind can have on people.
And I don't even know if we should be worried about soul power. Ones like Nee and Lee are needs of the flesh ; in that we need a agent in the flesh ; it's the need for fleshly power we should avoid. Then soul power would have no takers.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane with your "Latent Power of the Soul" references.
That takes me way back. Thank the Lord, I've been free of Nee and Lee's latent power of the soul for a long time.
In the end, when it comes to soul power, Nee and Lee were preaching to themselves.
