Forgiving Witness Lee

Sectarianism, judgmentalism, control, lording over the saints, elevating of men, etc. I could go on and on, but read the posts on this forum. The evidence abounds. The signs are clear.

Secondly this spirit doesn't want to identify itself, so it hides. It wants you to do anything except look at it. So it constantly points out "rebellions", warns against "negativity" and "ambition" (always belonging someone else), and trumpets the faults of everyone else (the whole of "Christianity" is supposedly fallen and ruined, entirely without hope). It even tells us the problems with the Recovery saints, that we're fleshly, dormant, lukewarm, even dead. But The Spirit of the Recovery is without any faults! Why? Because if you begin to "try the spirits to see if they are from God" this spirit will immediately respond tenfold. It will say that you are "opposing" and "attacking" etc. It apparently has no capacity for humility, for correction, for restraint. It says it's protecting "the church" and the purity of "the Lord's move" but I daresay it only protects itself. Those terms are just covers.

This post is quite telling, aron. Thanks.

Reminds me of something I once read about the "Jezebel spirit."
