The only one who "must" do something here is Lee. Why is he imposing himself on the Body of Christ? Who is this guy? Why did I allow myself to be tricked into elevating this man way above the flock, where his "musts" and "need tos" and "shoulds" and "have tos" became my daily marching orders? What kind of religious twaddle did I buy into? Read an outline of one of the "Holy Word for Morning Revival" books if you don't understand what I mean. It is full of "need to" and "must" and "should". It is a ministry of need.
It reminds me of Paul, writing to the Corinthians, telling them that if someone beats them about the head and face they receive it as equivalent to 'spirituality' (2 Cor 11). Someone comes along and says that "my little finger is thicker than my father's loins" and you bear them gladly. Someone says "my father chastised you with whips but I will beat you with scorpions" and you receive this as if it were from Christ Himself?
No, brothers! For freedom Christ has set you free; stand fast therefore and do not be entangled again with the yoke of slavery. Not Witness Lee's slavery, or anyone else's. Paul said, "I did not take their word; no not even for an hour". Galatians 2:5
Proverbs 30 says, “The leech has two daughters.
‘Give! Give!’ they cry.
“There are three things that are never satisfied,
four that never say, ‘Enough!’:
the grave, the barren womb,
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’
The more that I read this guy's ministry, and the more I sense his being never satisfied, the more that I want to say, "Enough!"
