I do understand where you're going with all of this, ZNP. Let me simplify this through a martial arts analogy.
Aikido is a Japanese martial art known for using your opponents momentum and energy against them.
The Lord is like an Aikido master is that He can use anything that comes against His will for his purpose but not in the ways we may think.
In the example of the Lord's Recovery, He can certainly use this movement in the building up of His church.
He may not use it directly as the culmination of His sole move that began in Jerusalem but He can use it to sharpen the discernment of His children that fell into the movement as preparation for His future plans for them.
In short, the Lord can use movements like the Lord's Recovery but that does not mean they are from Him.
I hope that makes sense.
