This is a great point. The Bible says, "when the heart turns to the Lord, the veil is removed." (2 Cor 3.16) We turn our hearts
towards the Lord. He is the focus of our "turning," not our spirit. I think this subtle misdirection by Lee made us vulnerable to some of his errant teachings. We were coached into believing that a little arm-pumping and decibal-rising was somehow equivalent to "exercising our spirit."
Probably 20 years ago, most likely due to numerous examples of unrighteousness at LSM, a brother in the GLA said that "exercising our spirit" should be changed to "exercising our conscience." Wasn't our conscience the leading part of our Spirit? Had not Lee and the Blendeds at LSM become like the Pharisees "exercising their spirit" to make a "really good show" in the flesh, while compromising their conscience regarding righteousness?
