SPIRIT TRUTH MINISTRIES WAKE UP SLEEPING BRIDE - DON'T BE DECEIVED! FALSE PROPHET FOR PROFIT: BENNY HINN
Most of this was written in 2000 and since that time Benny Hinn has continued to expand his "prophecies" concerning powerful manifestations upon believers aligned with his ministry. His preoccupation with "power" and manifestations is NOT of God. We are not to seek God's power- we are to seek Christ and His righteousness. The reason that he has fooled so many Christians is because he preaches a cunning creation- a mixture that invokes Jesus name while mixing the Gospel with dangerous Gnostic doctrines and practices. He conditions whole auditoriums to fall and swoon on command. Hinn is a modern day Simon- a New Age magician and mesmerist, with the way that he uses bits of the real Gospel and mixes it with pathetic hype, to create his own brand of seductive heresy. Hinn has preached (as have most other "Faith Movement" preachers) that he is a "little god" on earth, which according to the Bible is absolute blasphemy. It is the same sin for which Satan was cast down to earth! There is great power available to all AUTHENTIC Christians but the brand of "power" that Hinn is proclaiming and prophesying, is cultish hype and circus, designed to create an emotional bandwagon that is self-serving and meglgomaniacal. A secular, in depth article that examines his ministry, identifies his lust for money and his ability to hypnotize his audiences. Hinn is fixated with "power" and merely uses the name of Jesus to promote his ungodly agenda. This IS NOT a condemnation of Benny Hinn. This is an open call to repentance! God can use ANY vessel that He so chooses (even an unclean one) and Benny Hinn is known (on occassion) to preach the real gospel and win souls to Christ. God once spoke through a donkey in order to convince a powerful witch, (Ballaam) to bless Israel, instead of cursing it! The Bible confirm!s that "Some preach Christ even of ENVY, STRIFE, and...CONTENTION" (Phil. 1:15-17) ie: out of SECRET AGENDAS and for SELFISH GAIN. Evangelists like Benny Hinn are "Enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, (IF HE REFUSES TO REPENT) whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame-- who set their mind on earthly things" (Philippians 3:18,19). Hinn has no problem amassing great wealth and indulging himself in extravagance because he is a decadent, self-indulgent, "name-it-and-claim-it," prosperity & positive confessing, preachin' New Age adept.
[BENNY HINN IS CURRENTLY SUING YOUTUBE AND OTHER PROVIDERS OF VIDEOS THAT PROVE IN HIS OWN WORDS, JUST HOW APOSTATE HE IS. IF ANY VIDEO IS SUDDENLY "UNAVAILABLE," IT IS BECAUSE BENNY HINN FEARS BEING EXPOSED FOR WHAT HE IS AND IS VERY RICH AND POWERFUL!]
No other false prophet has had so many discernment ministries write such extensive expose's. Hinn's errant words and actions are thoroughly documented and it is by God's Holy Word that his fruits are judged (Just as I desire my fruits to be judged). An extensive list of articles about Hinn, written by many other ministries with links can be found at Benny Hinn Exposed.
My server used to offer background music and this article was once accompanied by "the Entertainer" used in the ultimate scam movie "the Sting," the full inference of which I found totally appropriate as to characterizing Benny's psychic schemes).
"TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING 'I am the christ' AND WILL DECEIVE MANY." Matthew 24:4,5
“THEN IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU, ‘ LOOK HERE IS THE CHRIST!’ OR ‘THERE!’ DO NOT BELIEVE IT. FOR FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE AND SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS TO DECEIVE, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN THE ELECT." Matthew 24:23,24
Phil 1:15-18 "Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; THE FORMER PROCLAIM CHRIST OUT OF SELFISH AMBITION RATHER THAN FROM PURE MOTIVES, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice."
Hyper-Charismatic, "Word-Faith," Prosperity/Positive confession adepts, WAKE UP and REPENT! Benny Hinn is a false prophet and a false messiah, as he proclaims that he and others ARE themselves: "little christs." (This is the sin of blasphemy) It is one thing to claim to work the miracles of Jesus but quite another to claim to be "christ" on this earth... Hinn (and others) proclaim this through the demonic doctrine that is widely preached by Hagin, Copeland and others, and it is dangerously apostate doctrine! Anyone can preach some form OR MIXTURE of the Gospel. I also call these counterfeits the “march of the Simons” who represent the “Simonization” (aka: "Simony") of the church. If you recall, Simon was the magician who stalked and harassed the Apostles in order that he might obtain their power to perform miracles. Benny Hinn is a perfect example of a modern day “Simon.” Are Benny's fruits really LYING WONDERS AND PSYCHIC ACTIVITY, or are they the work of the Holy Spirit?
Benny Hinn and these other apostates are fooling many who were at one time Bible adhering Pentecostals. There is a distinct difference between hyper-faith movement charismaniacs and classic Pentecostals. See David Wilkerson speak against false prophesies and demonic sounding BLASPHEMY proclaimed by Benny Hinn:
There are some (like myself) that chafe at being labeled anything but 'Christian' but whom others quickly label as "Pentecostal" or "fundamentalist" simply because we believe the entire counsel of the Word of God and seek to obey Jesus, the Living Word of God. We know the import!ance of being baptized in and filled ongoingly with His Spirit... (though I do not focus upon or idolize particular gifts like tongues). We desire deeply to understand and obey the scriptures and to lead a holy life that pleases God. Unfortunatly, these fierce, hyper-faith preachers have led many into a dangerous counterfeit (fooled by their emotions) and away from the real Jesus. Some preach the Gospel out of righteous motives, while others preach it for selfish gain. What Benny Hinn preaches is a MIXTURE of some Gospel and allot of his own creation and occultic techniques such as visualization. I openly call you to repentance Benny Hinn and will continue to send this page to your "ministry."
Benny Hinn: "Yes, Lord, I'll do it. I place a curse on every man and every woman that will stretch his hand against this anointing. I curse that man who dares to speak a word against this ministry. But any man and any woman that raises his or her hand in blessing towards this ministry, I bless that man. I bless that home! I bless that family. Under this anointing, the words I speak cannot fall to the ground. Under this anointing, everything I say, happens." (Praise The Lord, Trinity Broadcasting Network, September 10, 1999) That horrible statement of Hinn's is pure WITCHCRAFT! Hinn is committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit when he curse people while claiming that will happen because of the "anointing" of the Holy Ghost. It may well be an "anointing" but it is an UNHOLY, DEMONIC anointing that he is operating in when he curses people in the name of God's "anoionting". Another great source that exposes Hinn's FALSE ANOINTING offers actual audio recordings of Hinn's rantings and ravings.
If you can defend a "Christian" cursing ANYONE, (including cursing the devil) please send me the scriptures that back it up! Benny Hinn also wished death upon his “critics,” when he openly proclaimed: “...I wish God will give me a Holy Ghost machine gun; I'll blow your head off.” Hinn has called for MURDER of his "enemies" through the power of WITCHCRAFT:
This ugly quote of Hinn's was published in Christianity Today:
"Now I'm pointing my finger with the mighty power of God on me. ...You hear this. There are men and women in Southern California attacking me. I will tell you under the anointing now, you'll reap it in your children. You'll never win. ...And you children will suffer. You're attacking me on the radio every night; you'll pay, and your children will. Hear this from the lips of God's servant. You are in danger. Repent, or God Almighty will move his hand. ..." That is what Hinn told an audience on August 7, 1992, at Melodyland Christian Center in Southern California."
If you can excuse any Christian leader for spewing evil such as this, you have been deceived! No true disciple of Jesus could ever proclaim this sort of thing. This evil threat against his "critic's" children reveals Benny for what he really is.
Benny also spins tall tales about seeing "angels" for years that guard him while he sleeps. He loves to egrandize himself to his followers, and impress them with how "spiritual" he is. He may be "spiritual" but it is not a Christ-like type of spirituality. His is a New Age spin on things that happened to great men in the Bible...NOT to Benny Hinn.
BUT God says: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their deeds.”
Hinn has had an ungodly obsession with the deceased faith-healer, Kathryn Kuhlman. He claims that he had a vision in which he spoke to her, not to mention that he has confessed to visiting her grave to "feel the anointing still emanating from her corpse." The BIBLE calls this NECROMANCY. How much more obvious does this man's sins have to become before the bewitched Christians who idolize him come out of his mesmerizing spell?
Benny Hinn has been preaching grossly errant doctrines for years and now has completely lost his credibility. But, because the people are clamoring for the supernatural and for a highly emotionally charged, circus atmosphere, Benny Hinn is more “popular” than sliced cheese. In the first article link, one woman describes Hinn as being her "spiritual father", which of course is a slap in God's face- shear idolatry! Jackie Alnor's cultlink ministry has called Hinn: false prophet extrodinaire."
Benny Hinn mostly preaches “THE TWISTED GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BENNY HINN!” We are NOT to accept anyone who comes to us preaching, “ANY OTHER GOSPEL” (Galatians 1:8,9) or a DIFFERENT GOSPEL” (Galatians 1:6, 2Cor. 11:4). Nor are we to listen to those who SOMETIMES preach the real gospel but who also “PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST” (Galatians 1:7). Paul also warned us not to receive anyone who preaches “ANOTHER JESUS whom we [Paul] have not preached” (2Cor. 11:4). the dangerous confusion of Benny Hinn's delusion and the cursing of his "critics." Jesus will next appear in the sky, (not at a Benny Hinn crusade) for less than a second...and in a flash, His bride will be Raptured from the face of the earth! ___________________________________________
(I already know that many will be angered by this word and that religious spirits that operate on many immature Christians will cause their flesh to be offended. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU! Religious spirits rise up when their "turf" has been "attacked." So if you are angered by this message, chances are that one of your "golden calves" has just been gored, not you. In this case, what's obvious to the world, is hidden to the deceived Christian, because of a religious spirit that causes selective blindness. My motive and heart's desire is to see all Christians at peace in Christ and resting in the truth of His word but false peace and false "unity," constructed on lies and deceptions must be exposed.
We are ALL 'earthen,' IMPERFECT vessels and that is why God calls us all to repentance over our DAILY sins. Preachers and teachers are actually to be held to an even HIGHER standard, according to the word. I herald the FACT that Hinn’s ministry is impacting thousands, perhaps millions, which is all the more reason that his message should be pure (as well as his motives). God can use someone, who is preaching the gospel out of selfish or mixed motives (God even spoke through a donkey and blessed Israel through a witch! [Balaam]) but He prefers that His servants are fully obedient and not speaking irresponsibly from the flesh, as Benny Hinn does quite consistently.
China has now supposedly been opened for Benny Hinn’s daily program, and to the extent that Jesus is truly lifted up and the authentic gospel is proclaimed, some may even get saved, in spite of the preacher. God can and does use men and women with major flaws. I know this quite personally! Although China’s abrupt change in it’s policy toward “American, born-again Christianity” is rooted in pacifying the masses, and making them more “controllable,” God is a Mastermind and He may be behind this miraculous coup that could OPENLY introduce the gospel to MILLIONS in China! I also hope that there is NOT some flaw so serious in Hinn’s character that it could be used to discredit the Gospel abroad. I am not one who wants to see him shipwrecked. I just know what kind of fruit could be produced if he were to repent and adhere to God’s word and not to extra-biblical, off the wall doctrines. I have heard that the Assembly of God leadership pulled his license for some reason and he needs to clear the air about that.)
Benny Hinn recently prophesied that “Jesus was about to appear VISIBLY on stage,” at one of his upcoming crusades. I'm sure that this "prophecy" will increase the size of his crowds and may even bring in the networks but his "prophecy" is the product of a twisted mind, a vain imagination. This prophecy is more than enough to make me fully realize that Benny Hinn has become a DANGEROUS FALSE PROPHET. Perhaps to insulate himself when it doesn't come true, Hinn now attributes the prophecy to another person, but he himself repeated it as gospel, on TBN and on his own program.
(Has the Lord ever appeared visibly to believers after His ascension? Of course! On the road to Damascus, the Apostle Paul was temporarily blinded by the intense brightness of His glory and heard the voice of the Lord. Those with Paul also saw the bright light but didn’t hear the Lord’s voice (Acts 9). Paul saw the Lord while in a trance in the temple, (Acts 22:17) and Paul also saw Jesus standing right by His side: “the Lord stood by him and said, “be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.”” Acts 23:11).
The Bible confirm!s the fact that Jesus can visibly (we don’t know if He appears bodily) appear to any believer and I have heard reports from reliable sources of people having visions of Jesus. I have not heard of Jesus appearing to large groups of people but with the Lord, all things are possible, we cannot limit Him. However, I discern a different spirit in Benny Hinn’s prophecy that is much like the same religious spirit that causes hysteria over Marian apparitions (demonic apparitions). We must NEVER seek or magnify the works (miracles, supernatural) from God’s hand. We must seek to worship Him in Spirit and in truth, not miracles. His power will be manifested but we must not focus on IT. We must never use hype and methods to create a circus type of atmosphere that appeals to the flesh. We must press into Jesus and cleave to Him with all our heart and soul but when we focus on His works rather than on Him, we begin to idolize His goodies instead of worshiping Him.)
Does Benny Hinn always glorify Jesus and direct people to Him, or does he primarily glorify the supernatural and spread spiritual and Biblical confusion? Hinn has preached horrendous apostasy such as "each person of the Trinity also has three parts- so the Godhead is actually 9 persons", "women used to have their wombs on their sides," and that "we are little gods." He accentuates and adulates uncommon supernatural occurrences and brags about how anointed he is, and about all of the supernatural manifestations that occur around him. He often speaks much more about God's "anointing" than he does about Jesus, even though the Holy Spirit was sent ONLY to glorify and magnify Jesus (not the other way around!). Recently, he has been conditioning his followers to "expect the Lord to appear to them and to expect to see angels." Benny also verbally conditions his followers to do what he wants, on cue (being “slain in the Spirit” when he says certain words or waves his arms). There is no record of Jesus ever doing such things and only demoniacs shook uncontrollably in His presence, though there is record of evangelistic meetings in the past, where people shook, jumped, gyrated and fell to the ground when they fell under the conviction of the Holy Ghost, which is definitely POSSIBLE but I don't believe that that is what is happening at Hinn's crusades. I believe that although the Christian life is a supernatural life, we are not to focus on the supernatural or accentuate it less IT becomes an idol. There is nothing more the devil wants to do than to get us to focus on something besides Jesus! It is very import!ant to remember that we “walk by faith, not by sight.” Yes, we can pray in faith for healings and miracles but we must not worship the miraculous or strange manifestations, especially NOT if it is for the purpose of self-aggrandizement or in this case, to validate a ministry that is built on the supernatural and to stimulate people to send them money. Watch how the Benny Hinn shakedown works:
Many Christians in the Faith Movement have been brainwashed to believe that they will only receive a “special blessing” (more wealth and riches) if they sow into an anointed work of God (ungodly giving/ giving to get, religious pyramid scam). Christians that are fixated on supernatural manifestations begin to neglect the power and import!ance of God’s word and as a result, are vulnerable to deceptions and delusions.
What I discern, is that there are many Pentecostals who question the teachings and practices of the fierce Word of Faith ministries but who either don't have the spiritual fortitude to speak out or are simply bowing to a powerful and "popular," human idol. Pardon me, but NO Christian is that special in the kingdom. Our foremost allegiance MUST BE TO JESUS! "You cannot serve both God and mammon." There is not supposed to be an elite hierarchy of leaders who are “special,” "untouchable," and beyond reproof and rebuke in the body of Christ. Many of their followers have neglected and even abandoned the word of God in favor of false, new age (20th century) doctrines and fables. Unfortunately, many have elevated certain "popular" preachers to "star-like" status, and will blindly absorb everything that they say, and be punished, even demonized if they dare to question them. The spirit that leads Christians to follow men and "go along to get along" at any price, is an antichrist and idolatrous spirit of perversion and compromise.
(Pastor Hinn has also shown great admiration for the current Pope, even proclaiming that he is also “Pentecostal.” Though I would like to believe it, the Pope’s recent statements and modus operandi, prove that the Vatican is spearheading the goal to usher in a unified “world religion,” where all “acceptable” religions are being brought under one great tent and one leader (Antichrist). NO “fundamentalist, born again, bible believing Christian,” organization will be welcome under that tent, only those who have thoroughly compromised the word of God and turned their backs on orthodox Christian beliefs and living. The Vatican is already controlled by secret Masonic societies, which they used to eliminate from the Vatican. The Pope has recently condemned “Christian fundamentalists,” those who dare to preach God’s real truth. Though I know that there are some true Christians in the Catholic Church, it’s decadent hierarchy is mostly apostate and is facing many dark crisies [gay and pedophilic priests dying from aids at a shocking rate]. Several leading Evangelical leaders are also working toward a false “unification” of all of “Christendom.” We cannot afford to be unequally yoked with apostates and pagans. The goals and works of the World Council of Churches is wickedly and dangerously apostate).
I love Benny Hinn and in Jesus name, for his sake and the sake of those who follow him, I openly call him to repentance. I have already sent him this message, as he is not readily available for a personal meeting or call.
Perhaps a “christ” of Hinn’s own creation (perhaps even “lord Matreiya? He's a demonic false messiah who also appears with "signs and wonders") will appear but it certainly WILL NOT BE the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus to this earth. Anyone who could possibly fall for such a hoax, has been deceived by a shrewd and cunning FALSE PROFIT, oops, I meant PROPHET. Benny Hinn has fooled many a charismaniac and even many of God’s “ELECT.” I admit that as a Pentecostal, I vacillated for many years about the validity of Benny Hinn’s ministry. But many of his strange doctrinal statements and teachings over the years identify him as a NEW AGE MISFIT, not a righteous man of God. In one of his recent meetings he actually CURSED EVERYONE WHO "SPEAKS AGAINST HIS MINISTRY!" If you can defend a "Christian" cursing ANYONE, please send me the scriptures that back it up! Benny Hinn wished death upon his “critics,” when he openly proclaimed: “I wish I had a Holy Ghost machine gun to take their heads off.” THAT’S CALLED WITCHCRAFT! Benny Hinn has been preaching grossly errant doctrines for years and now has completely lost his credibility. But, because the people are clamoring for the supernatural and for a highly emotionally charged, circus atmosphere, Benny Hinn is more “popular” than sliced cheese.
Benny Hinn sometimes preaches “THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BENNY HINN!” We are NOT to accept anyone who comes to us preaching, “ANY OTHER GOSPEL” (Galatians 1:8,9) or a DIFFERENT GOSPEL” (Galatians 1:6, 2Cor. 11:4). Nor are we to listen to those who SOMETIMES preach the real gospel but who also “PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST” (Galatians 1:7). Paul also warned us not to receive anyone who preaches “ANOTHER JESUS whom we [Paul] have not preached” (2Cor. 11:4). Our Jesus, the REAL Jesus, is NOT going to appear as prophesied by Benny Hinn. The next appearance of Jesus will take place in a flash, when He comes for His bride!
If He repents of this bizarre prophecy as well as other false doctrines and decadent behavior unbecoming to a minister of the Gospel, I would forgive him in a flash. I LOVE Benny Hinn and all those who listen to him, enough to tell them the truth.
Hinn’s recent crazy prophecy is a fulfillment of Jesus’ own prophetic warning from Matthew 24:
“TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, ‘I AM THE CHRIST’, AND WILL DECEIVE MANY” v. 4
“...THEN MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE UP AND DECEIVE MANY” v.11
“THEN IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU, ‘ LOOK HERE IS THE CHRIST!’ OR ‘THERE!’ DO NOT BELIEVE IT. FOR FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE AND SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS TO DECEIVE, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN THE ELECT. SEE, I HAVE TOLD YOU BEFOREHAND. THEREFORE IF THEY SAY TO YOU, ‘LOOK, HE IS IN THE INNER ROOMS!’ DO NOT BELIEVE IT. FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST AND FLASHES TO THE WEST SO ALSO WILL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. v.23-27
Benny Hinn and other “Word of Faith” preachers have been preaching erroneous and dangerous doctrine (mixed in with the real gospel, a mixing of the holy with the profane) for years, proclaiming that they are “little christs,” “little gods.” I see this now with complete clarity, as a MAJOR fulfillment of the Lord’s own prophetic warning about the last days, where FALSE PROPHETS would arise and proclaim that they were “christ,” and “little gods.” This recent prophecy of Benny Hinn’s, is CLEARLY a fulfillment of Christ’s own prophetic warning in Matthew 24. Even if a “christ” doesn’t appear, Benny Hinn has already fulfilled these verses from Matthew that warn us EXPLICITLY about FALSE PROPHETS who would perform “GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS, while they proclaimed: “HERE IS THE CHRIST OR THERE.” Benny has grown so brazenly arrogant as to all but forget about these words of Jesus, that expose him for what he is.
“DO NOT BELIEVE IT!” SAYS THE LORD!
Benny Hinn has invited the appearance of a “christ” and he may very well get what he wants because there is reportedly a New Age “christ” who can appear and disappear at will. This false “christ”, is known by occultics as “lord Matreiya.” A Christian journalist who has attended his “meetings,” reports that extremely strange and demonic power surrounds this New Age, false “christ.” “Matreiya,” could very well be the “false prophet” who will someday head the impending world religion. Luciferians and other occultics are also looking to usher in a “christ,” BUT IT WILL NOT BE OUR JESUS OF NAZARETH!
What I am saying is that a FALSE CHRIST, could very well materialize on stage at Benny Hinn’s next crusade, BUT HE WOULD NOT BE OUR LORD JESUS. It is also very possible that Benny Hinn could pull this off by projecting a holographic image that would certainly fool his devout and deceived followers. Benny Hinn certainly has the financial resources to pull it off.
REMEMBER: JESUS WARNED US THAT THIS END TIME DECEPTION WOULD “DECEIVE IF POSSIBLE, EVEN GOD’S ELECT.” Matthew 24: 24.
You have been warned!
The following video is a confirm!ation of the phony "healings" and fraud perpetrated upon desperate people seeking healings, as Benny claims one thing about validation of said healings, while the truth is quite different. Notice the extreme emotional conditioning and fierce mesmerism used to create a band-wagon circus atmosphere, as entirely un-biblical practices are employed to ratchet up expectations and their willingness to comply with Hinn's suggestions. Hinn's "entourage" treated this serious news crew in a thug-like fashion, pushing people around as if they were some kind of mafia:
