JACKSON HOLE & CHRIST: Religion vs.The Gospel

JACK HENNESSEY

I have lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for better than twenty years. Almost every one that has heard of our area knows it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It seems however, I very rarely see the beauty of the area any more as my attention has become so focused in these last few years on nurturing the indwelling Spirit of Christ in men. I desire to know no man by the flesh, but to see all men as subjects of God's all encompassing love through His Son Jesus Christ.

Christ introduced Himself to me thirty five years ago and ever more so with each year ,He has drawn me more fully into Himself and His Kingdom. I write and speak a lot now days about being freed from the traditions of men and the organized church. I truly believe the clarion call has gone out over the land to those with ears to hear, to come out of the harlot church systems which have been corrupted by the vain philosophies of men and the riches of the world.

We (others also share this ministry) share a lot within the framework of these four subject headings:

****************************************
Prayer is helplessness casting itself upon power; it is misery seeking peace; it is unholiness embracing purity; it is hatred desiring love. Prayer is corruption panting for immortality; it is the eagle soaring heavenward; it is the dove returning home; it is the prisoner pleading for release; it is the mariner steering for the haven amid the dangerous storm; it is the soul, oppressed by the world, escaping to the empyrean, and bathing its ruffled plumes in the ethereal and the divine.(unknown)
