Re: James Barber - History of Witness Lee
Did anyone listening to James Barber's "history" notice how he talked about "the one flow", referring to Witness Lee's ministry in the 1960's and it being a continuation of Watchman Nee's ministry?
I recall such a concept being in the recovery literature from the very beginning.... "The Divine Stream".
It seems to me that thought just grew and grew until it caused us to totally loose sight of Jesus, the real source of any flow, choking out whatever flow we initially had. And, keeping "the flow" contained to just ourselves dammed off any outflow, and drowned us in the dead sea.
Has anyone done a critique of this thought?
I did a Bible Word search on the words stream and river, and didn't find support for the stream or river of God belonging to only one or two ministers of God. But, I'd like to hear from others on this.
