Re: Chester Hensley

I was in the church when Rev passed away and was at the funeral.....I received the Holy Ghost on May 29 1977...moved to Nederland March 1979...In those few short years that I was there, I saw the true gifts demonstrated. I am not ashamed of knowing him and being under his ministry...Its really amazing to see post where there is negativity spoken about him, when all some have is just hearsay. If you want to know anything then ask me...thanks and God bless

Chester Hensley

Good Morning,
I would like to comment about the articles on Chester Hensley. I knew Rev. Hensley personally and he was a great Prophet. He never expected to rise from the dead as some would say. God took him home. I believe it to be a punishment to some in the church at the time. You never know what you have until it is gone. I witnessed miracles while under his ministry. It is a great loss to the world for him to be gone. I think about him almost every day and wish I had him back. The world today could sure use him.

Wow! I didn't realize God punishes people in churches by killing their pastor. Hmmmm.......

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

LOL!!! Also I guess I forgot that God held Oral Roberts hostage that time and threatened to kill him if he did not raise enough money for the hospital he was starting. (according to Oral anyway).

Re: Chester Hensley

Never heard of Chester Hensley. However, I was listening to an old message of LE Westberg today, and he mentioned the name Chester Hensley. He made a comment along the lines that he had seen Chester Hensley used mightily by God, but that he got away from truth. He said he had seen CH perform miracles, but made it sound CH died lost. He even said something about being caught in a hotel room with a 16 yo girl...
