The Lord’s Recovery
About this ebook
The first of those things is the matter of life. The Lord’s recovery today is first to recover the matter of life. The Lord’s recovery is also to recover the matters of the Spirit and the church. In a general way, these terms are familiar to most Christians, but their real significance has been lost. Finally, the Lord’s recovery is to recover the matter of the kingdom, which is constituted with life, the Spirit, and the church. Although the crucial aspects of these matters have been lost, year after year the Lord has been recovering them. This is His recovery.
About the author
Born in 1905 in northern China, Witness Lee was raised in a Christian family and educated in English-speaking schools. At the age of 19 he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and consecrated himself to preach the gospel. Early in his service, Witness Lee met Watchman Nee and began to labor together with him. In 1949 Witness Lee was sent by Watchman Nee to Taiwan to ensure that the things delivered to them by the Lord would be preserved. In 1962 Witness Lee came to the United States and began to minister here. He ministered in weekly conferences, delivering several thousand spoken messages until 1997. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. His major work, Life-Study of the Bible, comprises over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Spirit.
