Mega Preachers Exposed Part 9. Benny Hinn a closer look

A closer look at the Mega Preacher, Teacher, Prophet, Author, Televangelist and of course Healer that is Benny Hinn. A massive name with a correspondingly massive following. He has been around for a considerable period of time. His ministry can be found at Bennyhinn.org (no link from this website!) and he is renowned for his own trademark religious sermons, he broadcasts daily and is watched by millions and you could quite safely say......he is a one off. Nothing else out there resembles him in any shape or form, nothing even comes close.

This is a form your own opinion article. After reading this article and watching these videos anybody who is in their right mind, does not need any of this explaining whether you are in the Christian faith or not. You really don´t!

Background via Wikipedia
Benny Hinn is the author of a number of inspirational Christian books. His thirty-minute TV program This Is Your Day is among the world's most-watched Christian programs, seen on various Christian television networks, including Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar Television Network, Revelation TV, Grace TV, Vision TV, INSP Networks, and The God Channel. Hinn conducts regular "Miracle Crusades"—revival meeting / faith healing events held in sports stadiums in major cities throughout the world. Tens of millions attend his Holy Spirit Miracle Crusades each year. Further details at the Wikipedia article.

He teaches his very own Gospel (sample quotes further into the article), has many trademarks (including the infamous white suit) but he is best known for his Anointing where he waves his hands in a persons direction, or even a crowd, mumbles some strange words (such as Touuuuccccchhhhhhh) or starts singing?? and they fall over and get up (some don´t get up) and feel amazing afterwards. Some are laughing their heads off with what they call Holy Laughter, some are crawling around the floor like a Baby, some may start howling or barking like a dog, others are convulsing with what he calls the "electricity of the Holy Ghost"??................Right?

The huge congregation of course end up going into a frenzy and some of these events are not a couple of hours but can last up to a marathon of over 5 hours. They are broadcast globally on the usual networks that these Mega Preachers actually appear on. He performs miracles as well with healings being his speciality ( medical confirmation for some reason lacking). Some examples being people regaining their eyesight (years later confirmed they are still blind), people getting up out of wheelchairs and walking? (could they walk already), and numerous cases of cancer being cured including one where "the tumor literally fell to the floor and broke into pieces"??

One person who actually went their said it´s $42.... more on that in a superb article they wrote on their experience later, but what a night you will have?

Some Benny Hinn Prophecies

Samples from an event that contained 20 minutes of Prophesying to his congregation that night, Benny Hinn appeared to be "drunk in the spirit."
1. "The Spirit tells me— Fidel Castro will die in the 90's. . . Holy Spirit just said to me, it'll be worse than any death you can imagine."
2. "The Lord also tells me to tell you in mid 90's— about '94 or '95, no later than that— God will destroy the Homosexual community of America . . . He will destroy it with fire."
3. "The Spirit of God tells me— an Earthquake will hit the east coast of America and destroy much in the 90's."

Analysis
Bible quotes that say otherwise to all of these can be found with ease but to summarise from just these 14 quotes. He is promoting the "Little Gods Doctrine", he is promoting the Prosperity Gospel which includes Health and Wealth. He says if you partake in Satan then you are partaking in God just like Jesus did?? He has power to move God instead of the other way round. Poverty comes from hell which means Jesus who was homeless and pretty much penniless is more of the same. He says that the Bible does not say anywhere that it´s not OK to drive in a Rolls Royce instead of a Honda. You can lose your healing if you don´t actually believe it happened which is a good way to explain away why there is no medical evidence or documentary proof that Benny Hinn can actually heal. Sow a "Big Seed" read give loads of money and reap a big harvest in the form of health and wealth. The typical Broad Way Prosperity Gospel. As for his views on Adam and Eve...........come to your own conclusions. I think the word Heresy is highly relevant here.

He is a Healer and a Preacher but he would be a fool if he said he was in it for the money?

False Prophet Benny Hinn says: "God will not bless a Church if the pastor is poor"


Even More on that in a video below. Last but not least all the things he taught in the past he doesn´t teach anymore, because he doesn´t believe them. So what´s to say what he is teaching now is all lies in 5-10 years time, come to think about it what he could actually be saying is "everything he teaches is lies" and that statement is a sort of disclaimer.

Benny Hinn Interviews

Moving on and delving a bit deeper beyond the white suits and bright lights and the congregations hands raised and waving in sync and the strange goings on at his events, the best way to find out what anybody is all about is in a one on one interview especially with these Mega Preachers. Benny Hinn doesn´t normally agree to interviews (for obvious reasons), but here are 3 video interviews below that reveal more and get you closer to what Benny Hinn is really all about. One interviewer is thankfully quite brutal, but the usual characteristics are on display that are traits of other Mega Preachers when they are in a corner and in a spotlight. Would you buy a used car from this man, let alone trust your faith or your son or daughter or even your life to such a person

Somebody that actually went to a Benny Hinn event tells of their experience.

Somebody who actually went to a Benny Hinn event that was called "The Holy Spirit Miracle Service" says what it was like to be there in the crowds. Sample from their excellent article below. Their words not mine.

"There are a lot of things you should try at least once in your life — skydiving, eating some exotic delicacy, traveling alone. Let me give you one thing not to add to that list: attending a Benny Hinn Holy Spirit Miracle Service.

They came to the following conclusions after leaving the event after a staggering 2 and half hours (the event went on for over 5 hours)

1. You’ll second-guess your Bible knowledge.
2. You’ll realize he’s in control of everything in his world.
3. You’ll wrestle with your negative thoughts.
4. You’ll discover that he owns up to the prosperity gospel.
5. You may end up walking out.

Benny Hinn on one of the pillars of the Christian Faith "Saved" or "Born Again"

This can be the very foundation of your faith and although he is correct in stating that being "Saved" or "Born Again" is not just a feeling you have, there has to be some other processes involved. He states there are four things that say you are saved and he quotes Bible verses from Matthew to qualify this claim. After listening to this video he is in no uncertain terms raising doubt whether you are actually "Saved" or not. I managed to nail down three ways (not four) from this video that tell you that you are definetly "Saved". This would rule out 99% of all Saved Christians on this planet myself included??

1. You cannot be born again unless you have had a 1 on 1 experience
2. You are unashamed
3. You must acknowledge him publically
4. Couldn´t find No4, if anybody find it please let me know?

A 40 Year career span analysis

But he is still around. This video is a life time career analysis spanning all his events including Miracle Events, The Annointings and the Historic Crusades.

Conclusion and Summary

On first impressions, watching Benny Hinn in action I was just shaking my head in disbelief whilst laughing and thinking "so this is what Christianity really is??". It doesn´t take a rocket scientist to work out that Benny Hinn is not only a False Teacher/Preacher and probably one of those most glaring written in neon signs, he is to compound the matter further a False Prophet. Could it get any worse, yes it does,  he is a False Healer as well, with very little evidence to back up claims that he actually does heal and he even states himself he is not sure either and says he sometimes makes mistakes.

Vid: A video featuring the owner of this website sheds some light titled 15 Signs of a False Preacher

These types of Preacher are your typical "Wolves in Sheep´s Clothing" that not only show no respect for God but are relying on the Biblically illiterate to peddle their twisted doctrine. Here´s the bizarre thing, these people (the congregation) believe all this stuff and not only that, they end up paying to go to these events, end up exposed to what can only be describe as demonic practices and then probably make further donations at the end of the event to keep this character in clover. Further down the road they will inevitably wake up and smell the coffee, realise they have been conned (repeatedly) and may end up losing their faith in the process and never end up finding the truth that would keep you away from such people in the first place.

There must be hundreds of videos out there showing Benny Hinn in action on You Tube, some of the ones used here are from obvious fans and believers and this is the problem. If you get sucked into the Hinn False Doctrine, Lies and Deceit and keep watching his programs and go to his events you will eventually end up worshiping him and not worshiping who you are supposed to be worshiping and that is God. When your faith is dependent on one man for it to survive, some way down the line you will hit major problems and that´s not just with your faith.

Before I was "Saved" I would probably go to one of these Benny Hinn events "just for a laugh" but they are designed just like crack cocaine to get you hooked and you will keep coming back for more and fleece your bank account in the process whilst being led as far away from the truth as you can possibly get. You will get sucked into the crowd hysteria and no matter how sound your faith is, your mind will get messed with and you will question whether your faith is the real deal OR that perish the thought, maybe this is where you should have come all along??

A lot of people get fooled when a Preacher uses the word "God" and think they must be of God. They probably are, but which God are they talking about here, the one in heaven, or the one on this fallen earth? When somebody says in no uncertain terms that to become one with God you have to embrace and become evil just as Jesus did, even the spiritually ignorant must think "hang on something isn´t quite right here?" To conclude Benny Hinn is a cocktail of Falseness embracing Preaching, Teaching, Prophecy and Healing laced with Heresy and what can only be called Voodoo, all rolled into one charismatic white suited package and YES he is Dangerous. All I can say is, if you cannot see this, there really is no hope in this world and it would explain why these False Mega Preachers are as successful as they are!
