"And as for you, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you; but as His anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, abide in Him."

I understand this to mean, first and foremost, living according to the light you personally have received from Him, serving God in a pure conscience (2 Timothy 1:3), and "as therefore you have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him"(Col 2:6). At some point in time, all of us "met" the Lord, or the Lord revealed Himself to us. We are admonished by the highest authority to continue to walk in this way. Now it begins to dawn on me, what everyone (on the outside) has been telling me, which I didnt want to listen to, that I have been walking in Witness Lee, in a sense. Or, the direction of my life, "the way forward", indirectly and directly has been given to me by a handful blended brothers interpretation of W.Lees and B.Nees writings. Of course, it is a grave error of me, if these brothers actually receive everything from the Lord and then pass it on to us. But according to 1 John 2:27, we are shown the way the Lord today abides in us. It seems unreasonable for the Lord to go against His own Word.

Interestingly Witness Lee writes the following:
"Do not set your expectation on some great vision or on some great experience. And do not expect anything outward, for the God who hides Himself is at work within your life, and He is working mightily. Your responsibility is to cooperate with Him by responding to His voice within—that “gentle, quiet voice,” that voice that seems so much a part of your own feelings that you scarcely recognize it as a voice at all. To that voice, registered in the deepest depths of your being, you must say Amen, for there, secretly and ceaselessly, the God who hides Himself is working."

He said; do not set your expectation on some great vision...The High Peak truths? The Vision of the One Unique ministry? So it seems here he points to live according to 1 John 2:27. So now, by taking the word of Witness Lee, I must remove myself from todays so called Lords recovery, because this is aboslutely not what I see is practiced and it has neither been my experience.

Any thoughts, input? I am aware that my mind might play tricks on me
