Benny Hinn
"Supposing that gain is godliness; from such withdraw thyself...But godliness with contentment is great gain...And having food and clothes let us be content...But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts...For the love of money is the root of all evil, which, while some have coveted after, they have erred from the faith...But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness," 1 Timothy 6:6-11.
Benny Hinn:
"...never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will…' Don't allow such faith-destroying words to be spoken from your mouth. When you pray "if it be your will, Lord," faith will be destroyed. Doubt will billow up and flood your being. Be on guard against words like this which will rob you of your faith and drag you down in despair."
(Benny Hinn, Rise And Be Healed, pg 47-48.)
"God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods, went back to heaven as a man. He faces the Father as a man. I face devils as the son of God...Quit your nonsense! What else are you? If you say, I am, you’re saying I’m a part of Him, right? Is he God? Are you His offspring? Are you His children? You can’t be human! You can’t! You can’t! God didn’t give birth to flesh…You said, "Well, that’s heresy." No, that’s your crazy brain saying that."
“If we quit giving you new revelations, we’re dead.”
“I’m sick and tired of hearing about streets of gold [in heaven]. I don’t need gold in heaven, I’ve got to have it now...But if I hear the thing one more time of how it will be and how it was, I'm gonna kick somebody.”
“The wicked are piling up the funds and I love the way John [Avanzini] teaches on this. He's the best there is on how to get the wealth of the wicked. Man, I like it!”
(Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon, TBN, Nov. 6 1990)
"Cause it dosen't take brains to figure the thing out, you give to get!"
"A man said to me, 'How much do I sow?' My reply was, 'What kind of harvest do you want? If you have big debt, sow a big seed.' Thats just the way it is!"
"The Holy Ghost is upon me...The day is coming when those that attack us will drop dead. You say, 'What did he say?' I speak this under the anointing of the Spirit. Can I tell you something? Don't touch God's servants; it's deadly...Woe to you that touch God's servants. You're going to pay. 'And the day will come.' The Lord said that to me. He said, 'The day will come when I will punish instantly. Woe to those who touch my chosen.' They will fear us. Hear this: today they mock us; tomorrow they will fear us."
"Now hear this--I'm prophesying this: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is about to appear physically in some churches and some meetings and to many of his people for one reason--to tell you he's about to show up."
"God multiplies the seed you sow, the supernatural power of God hits after you sow, not before, after."
"What you do for God tonight get ready for a harvest. It will come back to you with a multiplied harvest."
(Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn Telethon, LeSea Network, April 16, 2004)
"Prosperity has a whole different meaning now out there. In many circles it means money, big cars, big homes, it means wealth, earthly, wordly wealth. Thats not biblical."
"Preachers who live in big homes and drive big cars ought to re-examine their calling."
Note:How does this apply to Benny Hinn's $3.5 million dollar home in California? How does this apply to Benny Hinn's big cars, i.e., Mercedes Benz and BMW?
"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid-90’s, about ’94, ’95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. [Round of applause] But He will not destroy it with what many minds have thought Him to be. He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed."
(Benny Hinn, Prophecy for the 90's tape, 1/1/1990)
"The Spirit of God tells me an earthquake will hit the east coast of America and destroy much in the 90s."
(Benny Hinn, 12/31/89)
"The Spirit tells me Fidel Castro will die in the 90's. . .Oooh! Holy Spirit just said to me it'll be worse than any death you can imagine."
(Benny Hinn, 12/31/89)
"I don't care whether you like me or not. Don't ever touch me. Don't ever touch Paul Crouch and Jan. Let me say something else to you and I really don't care if you like this or not. You have attacked me, your children will pay for it."
"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, TBN, 9/10/1999)
"Those coming against you will wish they had kept quiet and never attacked a man of God. They do not understand my ways. They have no fear, Hear this, they have no fear of touching the holy thing. Those coming against you will experience my power first hand. They will see and know it is not a light thing to touch mine annointed one!"
(Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord, December 29, 2002. Proudly reading a prophecy from Judy in response to Dateline NBC exposing his lies. "Many Faces Of Benny Hinn DVD")
"Touch not mine annointed He said. [Speaking of people talking against him]"
(Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord, December 29, 2002)
"Those who attack Kenneth Copeland are attacking the very presence of God."
"My, you know, whoosh! The Holy Ghost is just showing me some stuff. I'm getting dizzy! I'm telling you the truth - it's, it's just heavy right now on me... He's [referring to Jesus] in the underworld now. God isn't there, the Holy Ghost isn't there, and the Bible says He was begotten. Do you know what the word begotten means? It means reborn. Do you want another shocker? Have you been begotten? So was He. Don't let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn. You say, 'What are you talking about?'... He was reborn. He had to be reborn... If He was not reborn, I could not be reborn, I would never be reborn. How can I face Jesus and say, "Jesus, You went through everything I've gone through, except the new birth?"
"The Bible declares that the work was done 2,000 years ago. God is not going to heal you now--He healed you 2,000 years ago. All you have to do is receive your healing by faith."
"Sickness does not belong to you. It has no part in the Body of Christ. Sickness does not belong to any of us. The Bible declares if the Word of God in in your life, there will be health, there will be healing--divine health and divine healing. There will be no sickness for the saint of God. If Moses could live such a healthy life, so can you."
"He promises to heal all--every one, any, any whatsoever, everything--all our diseases! That means not even a headache, sinus problem, not even a toothache--nothing! No sickness should come your way."
"If your body belongs to God, it does not and cannot belong to sickness.
"The day is coming, I tell you this, I know it like I know my name, the day is coming there will not be one sick saint in the body of Christ. Nobody will be, nobody's gonna be, no one will be raptured up out of a wheelchair. No one will be raptured out of a hospital bed. You're all gonna be healed before the rapture."
It can be proven by empiricle evidence that more people have died at his crusades that have been healed. See article: Four die at Hinn crusade.
Sydney Williams a man that would take care of Hinn's children died from a herion overdose in 1998. Hinn's close personal aide and travel companion David Delgado died from complications of heroin abuse in 1998. Are you telling me that Hinn's close companion was not healed and died from complications from heroin abuse? Why wasn't he delivered? Why wasn't he healed by Hinn? A man that close to Hinn dies from sickness, I hope this helps to open your eyes, (WKMG Channel 6 T.V. Orlando, Florida, December 1998. "Many Faces Of Benny Hinn DVD")
In Oklahoma City a woman attending a Hinn crusade was not merely crushed, she was killed. Ella Peppard died from complications she suffered after someone was slain in the spirit right on top of her. The ensuing lawsuit was settled out of court. (Hank Hanegraaff, "Counterfeit Revival," page 189)
Steve Munsey: And I want to tell you that God is speaking right now! You need to go to the phones...Immeadiately get this on the altar...The Spirit of the Lord is speaking strongly. There is someone watching right now, the Lord is speaking and He said, 'If you say it I will do it.' I'm going to say it, '$79,000.' God is speaking to people to give $79.00. God is speaking to people to give $790.00. As quick as you can get it on the altar. Something in the heavenlies is going to open up and there is going to be a supply of supernatural. And there is going to be double portion that is going to overtake your life. I feel it strong!
Benny Hinn: I do too, I tell you! Well, do it now! Do it today! Call the number on your screen and sow that seed or send it in the mail.
Steve Munsey: Can they put it on a credit card possibly?
Benny Hinn: Yes, absolutely they can!
Steve Munsey: Because the speedier they can get it on the altar. It is a moment and it probably is going to be the greatest that we have ever had!
(Steve Munsey, "This Is Your Day," Benny Hinn Show, August 27, 2004)
"We have it on tape, for eight weeks the Lord's face appeared on the wall right below our balcony."
"And a man was raised from the dead on the platform. That's a fact people, we have it on video."
"My friend, hear this well. The reason people lose their healing is because they begin questioning if God really did it."
"Expect a financial harvest, but you got to sow a seed to see it happen. You may even want to call your seed in today. The 800 number is on the screen."
"Only those who have given to God's work will be spared."
"The greatest thing that you can do for your finances is give to the work of God."
"Every time you hold back your seed my friend heaven will charge you 20% whether you like it or not in fact, if you don't give it God will take it away from you, through tragedy. Don't you ever forget that. Yes. That's the word. If you don't give to God He'll take it from you whether you like it or not through troubles. You'll be paying the lawyers, you'll be paying hospital bills, you'll be paying all kinds of things so save yourself the trouble and pay God. That's the way it is. (applause) Give it to God He'll send it."
"The Bible warns us clearly that we must not attack men of God no matter how sinful they may have become or wicked in our eyes."
“I’m telling you, I can feel the anointing talking here. People are going to be canceling funeral services and bringing their dead in their caskets, placing them — My God, I feel the anointing here — placing them before a television set, waiting for God’s power to come through and touch them.”
“You wonderful people of God quit attacking men of God by name! Somebody’s attacking me because of something I’m teaching! Let me tell you something brother, You watch it! ... You walk around with your stiff lip and collar on your neck—dear God in heaven I wish I could just—oooh! They call it a ‘ministry,’ my foot! You know I’ve looked for one verse in the Bible, I just can’t seem to find it, one verse that said ‘If you don’t like ‘em, kill ‘em.’ I really wish I could find it!”
(Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord, TBN)
“Be careful! Your little ones may suffer because of your stupidity. Now I’m pointing my finger today, with the mighty power of God on me, and I speak. ... And your children will suffer. If you care for your kids, stop attacking Benny Hinn.”
(Benny Hinn at the World Charismatic Conference, Aug. 7, 1992)
"You know why the people of God are tired? Because you preachers are putting them to sleep...You know why they won't come in your church? Why they fight for the back seats? Because you are boring."
"Job's mouth was his biggest problem."
"You know what? We've said this a million times and it's not even scriptural--all because of Job: 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.' I have news for you: that is not Bible, that's not bible. The Lord giveth and never taketh away. And just because he said, 'Blessed be the name of the Lord,' don't mean that he's right. When he said, 'Blessed be the name of the Lord,' he ws just being religious. And being religious don't mean you're right."
"What you do for God tonight God will do to you with a multiplied harvest."

(Benny Hinn Telethon, LeSea Network, April 16, 2004)
"Now saint's, get to the phones and call. Sow your seed and the people are calling, so keep calling. We will agree with you for your miracle."
(Benny Hinn Telethon, LeSea Network, April 16, 2004)
Question: Jesus never asked for money, why do you?
Benny Hinn: "Well, Jesus didn’t have a TV program."
"God the Father, ladies and gentleman, is a person and He is a triune being by Himself, separate from the Son and the Holy Ghost... See, God the Father is a person, God the Son is a person, God the Holy Ghost is a person; but each one of them is a triune being by himself. If I can shock you and maybe I should, there’s nine of them! What did you say? Let me explain. God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person with his own personal spirit, with his own personal soul and his own personal spirit body."
"Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous." (Benny Hinn, TBN, 11/6/90)
“Sow a big seed. When you confess it, you are activating the supernatural forces of God”
(Benny Hinn, TBN Praise-a-Thon, 2/8/90)
“Are you ready to sow? Are you ready to sow? I want you to sow the best seed you care about, I want you to sow the best seed. People, the ground is wet and moist by the anointing. I want you to sow your best seed. Many of you right now can sow $100. Many, some can sow $1,000. Don’t tip God. Do not tip God tonight. Do not or you’re going to miss what’s coming in this harvest time. When you don’t give money, it shows that you have the devil’s nature.”
(Benny Hinn, Praise-a-Thon TBN, 4/21/91)
"...the anointing is dependent upon my words. God will not move unless I say it. Why? because He has made us coworkers with Him. He set things up that way."
(Benny Hinn, The Anointing. 1992. p.82)
"When you don't give money, it shows that you have the devil's nature."
(Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon TBN April 21, 1991)
"As you sow your seed, miracles will happen as you do it!"
(Benny Hinn, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, April 1, 2004)
"The Lord is speaking to 8 men to sow a $1,000,000 dollars each. If you will obey one of you who lost millions, if you sow that seed God will restore everything that you lost...Obey God and win! I am speaking under the annointing, What God is asking for is a little to what he is going to give you."
(Benny Hinn, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, April 1, 2004)
"The more you give the more protection you will have for tomorrow...God will spare you if you sow today."
(Benny Hinn, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, April 1, 2004)
"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 unless you stop….And your 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. Touch not my Anointed…."
(Benny Hinn, World Charismatic Conference, 7th August 1992.)
"All of you in Anaheim California, the Lord has spoken to me about this coming crusade in the Pond in Anaheim. Here is what the Lord said, 'that He will visit us with His presence.' So much so, it will be a Presence Crusade. Not just a miracle crusade. God wants to visit Southern California one more time with great glory...This will be a special and key crusade. And I'm glad the Lord sent you to stand by me Steve [Hill] to pray for me and to support what God is doing on the platform."
(Benny Hinn, This is Your Day with Steve Hill, July 2, 2004)
"Sow your seed and believe God that He'll bless you back with a mighty harvest. Father in Jesus name I pray to bless your people financially and give them a harvest in Jesus name."
(Benny Hinn, This is Your Day with Steve Hill, July 2, 2004)
"In Vancouver B.C. I saw a man transformed into an animal before my face. His lines appeared in his face. He began to growl like an animal. He was bent over, his features began to change. I'm telling you, and I know some will say, "He's crazy." Well, that's what you think. You see that thing and you will not be saying that. These things are real."
"I've seen things happen in the last tweny something years of our ministry. My goodness it will shake you up! I've seen people manifest in our meetings where they turned into animals. I remember a man in Ontario, that turned into a snake before my eyes. And two thousand people saw it. That guy fell on the floor and began moving like a snake on the floor. His feet moved as fast as a snake's tale, you can't do, your feet by themselves can only move so fast. That boy got up and his eyes were like glass, and he was, my goodness, he was so strong. He picked up a grand piano with one hand, going argggggggghhhhh, screaming at me! Yes sir! I saw that, I saw that boy set free! Eight men tried to carry him out and he was throwing them up in the air like this. [Then what happened?] What happened? God knocked the devils out of him!"
"Let me tell you something, I have seen angels myself, for a whole year in my bedroom, I saw angels in 1974. And every so often I still see them. I mean, I have had experiences with angels that will get your hair to stand up even with hairspray on it."
"Let me tell you something, I love God's power, for the life of me I cannot understand why some people attack what God does...I thought there are maybe one or two of you sitting here who don't believe this. Well if you don't, you are the most miserable people sitting here. Look, if you don't believe this why don't you go out and have a hamburger and go home."
"A very interesting thing just happened there is a young man watching me, he just made a little fun of what I just did. Young man, tomorrow you are going to have a problem with your right leg. You are going to wake up in the morning and you are going to have a problem with your right leg. And tomorrow afternoon you are going to be watching again, and you won't be laughing tomorrow afternoon."
Benny Hinn Blaspemes God!
“Those who put us down are a bunch of morons. ... You know, I’ve looked for one verse in the Bible, I just can’t seem to find it. One verse that says, ‘If you don’t like ’em, kill ’em.’ I really wish I could find it. ... Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun — I blow your head off!”
Benny Hinn's Wife Blaspemes God!
“If your engine is not revving up, you know what you need? You need a Holy Ghost enema right up your rear end. ... Be God-pleasers, don’t be people-pleasers. Because if you’re a people-pleaser, you’re a butt-kisser. If you’re a people-pleaser, you’re a butt-kisser. There’s no other word for it.”
"If you will fight sickness as hard as you've been fighting sin, no sickness can stay, no disease can grip your body, no sickness can remain on you. My brother, I order you in the name of Jesus, begin to fight sickness as hard as you have been fighting sin and you will be healed."
(Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord, TBN, 1/18/2000)
"The new creation is created after God in righteousness and true holiness. The new man is after God, like God, godlike, complete in Christ Jesus. The new creation is just like God. May I say this: You are a little god on earth running around."
"I have news for you. When you were born again the Word was made flesh in you and you became flesh of His flesh, bone of His bone. Don't tell me you have Jesus. You ARE everything He was and everything He is and ever shall be. And the new man doesn't look back. It has no past. It doesn't look ahead. It's got no future. It says I AM as He is. That's what it says. As He is, so are we in this world. Jesus said "Go in My Name, go in My stead." Don't say I have. Say I AM, I AM, I AM, I AM, I AM. That's why you'll never, ever, ever, ever say I'm sick. How can you be sick. How can you be sick if you're the new creation? Say "I'm healed." Don't say "I'm a sinner." The new creature is no sinner. I am the righteousness of God in Christ."
(Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ, Tape 2)
"When you say, 'I am a Christian, you are saying, 'I am mashiach' in the Hebrew. I am a little messiah walking on earth, in other words That is a shocking revelation.... May I say it like this? You are a little god on earth running around."
(Benny Hinn, Praise-a-thon, TBN November 6, 1990)
"Adam was a super-being when God created him. I don't know whether people know this, but he was the first superman that really ever lived. First of all, the Scriptures declare clearly that he had dominion over the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea--which means he used to fly. Of course, how can he have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do? The
word 'dominion' in the Hebrew clearly declares that if you have dominion over a subject, that you do everything that subject does. In other words, that subject, if it does something you cannot do, you don't have dominion over it. I'll prove it further. Adam not only flew, he flew to space. He was--with one
thought he would be on the moon."
"I don't care whether you like me or not. Don't ever touch me. Don't ever touch Paul Crouch and Jan. Let me say something else to you and I really don't care if you like this or not. You have attacked me, your children will pay for it."
(Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord, TBN 10/23/1992)
"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.."
(Benny Hinn, Praise the Lord, TBN 9/10/1999)
"I want to tell you why I believe people get sick...In 2 Chronicles 16, verse 10 - and I like to read this - verse 10 and 11 and 12, the bible says sickness comes when individuals attack preachers."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the serpent is a symbol of Satan. Jesus Christ knew The only way he would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him. You Say. "What did you say? What blasphemy is this?" No you hear this. He did Not take my sin, he became my sin. Sin is the nature of Hell. Sin is what made Satan. You remember? He wasn't Satan till sin was found in him. Lucifer was perfect till Ezekiel says, "sin was found in thee." It was sin that made Satan. Jesus said," I'll be sin. I'll go to the lowest place! I'll go to the origin of it! I won't just take part in it - I'll be the totality of it" when Jesus became sin, Sir he took it from A to Z and said, "no more!" think about this: He became flesh. That flesh might become like him. He became death, so that dying man can live. He became sin, so sinners can be righteous in him. He became one with the nature of Satan, so all those who had the nature of Satan can partake of the nature of God."
(Benny Hinn, TBN, 12/15/90)
"Holy Spirit said something to me and I had to go like a mad man and looking in the Word. He says, ‘God’s original plan is that the woman was to bring forth children out of her side.’ What? You know that there is nowhere in the Bible but where God gives birth out of His side. Jesus gives birth to the church out of His side. Adam gives birth to his wife out of his side. It was sin that turned the thing around. And it was sin that transformed her flesh and her body."
(Benny Hinn, Christianity In Crisis, audio-tape, Christian Research Institute.)
"The Lord just said to me these words - I'm hearing myself say them for the first time - TBN will not be only a Christian network. It will be an extension of heaven to the earth. And extension - it will be like a tube from heaven that the earth can look and say "I'm looking at heaven, I'm partaking of heaven. I'm getting connected to heaven through this TV tube." If I can say it, it will be heaven's signal to the earth. It will be as though heaven is transmitting and earth is receiving through that set. So if you want to go to heaven, you want to see heaven, you want to taste heaven, turn on that channel, 'cause you will."
“There will be no sickness for the saint of God.”
(Benny Hinn, Rise and Be Healed! 1991, pg. 14)
“If your body belongs to God, it does not and cannot belong to sickness"
(Benny Hinn, Rise and Be Healed! 1991, pg. 62)
“The day is coming, I tell you this, I know it like I know my name, the day is coming there will not be one sick saint in the body of Christ. Nobody will be, nobody's gonna be, no one will be raptured out of a hospital bed. You're all gonna be healed before the rapture.”
(Benny Hinn, “Praise the Lord,” 7/8/96)
“They think we’re saying we in flesh are God, we’re not God in flesh. We are god-like in Spirit. We’re complete in Christ in Spirit. Our Spirit man is god-like. It was birthed by God. It’s a Spirit being. That’s what I’m talking about. [background voice says, ‘So, those that would put that teaching down, want us to have a beginning and an end.’] Yes! [background voice says, ‘That’s Satan isn’t it?’] Those that put us down are a bunch of morons. Glory to God! Glory to God!”
(Benny Hinn, Christianity In Crisis, audio-tape, Christian Research Institute.)
On This is Your Day May 19, 2004, Benny Hinn told a story of the conversion of his mother and father. He said that he had been praying for their salvation for three years. He was about to give up, then God told him not to give up because there was a demon of blindness that was stopping them from getting saved. God told Benny to, "take authority" over the situation and rebuke the demon. The the Lord said, "Now do it," so Benny took his authority and rebuked the demon. Benny then said that that very night his parents were saved. Let me quote Benny, "I could have went on begging God to save them. But God wanted to, He wanted to save them more than me. He was waiting for me!"
(Benny Hinn, This is Your Day May 19, 2004, Guest Larry Huch)
The Trinity Is Non-Essential According To Paul Crouch
Paul Crouch: Let's talk a little bit about theology now. These are issues that I consider to be up for debate, discussion, within the broad spectrum of the body of Christ. You don't have total agreement on, for example, the Trinity. There is a group, the Jesus Only group, or the Oneness group that believes that there's only one Person - anyway, we won't get into that deeply into the doctrinal aspect, but you have been attacked on some statements that you have made concerning the Trinity and the members of the Godhead. How many are there in the Godhead?
Benny Hinn: Three.
Crouch: Three.
Hinn: Simply three.
Crouch: Not nine.
Hinn: Goodness.
Crouch: Where did that silly charge come from?
Hinn: [Unintelligible] It almost became comical. Paul, here's what I believe. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Three separate Individuals, one in essence, one in work, and each one of them possesses His own spirit body. That's what I believe. If you don't like it.
(Praise The Lord, October 23, 1992)
Benny Hinn And Paul Crouch Endorse Cursing Christians:
"Hinn: In that service [Denver, Colorado] the Lord had me place blessings and cursing - you remember that.
Paul Crouch: I was there.
Benny Hinn: You know, these kinds of things I just don't like to do. I frankly don't enjoy hearing anybody do it. But Paul, there are people who want to destroy ministries, who would love to destroy TBN, destroy our ministry, destroy any ministry and every ministry they can.....We had certain people at one time after our ministry who would harass us and do all kinds of crazy things - went on for probably a year and a half - I was preaching in South Africa one day and Fred Roberts, who's an apostle, said "Why don't you speak judgment?" he said. I said "What are you talking about?" He said, "You are entitled now - because they blasphemed the Holy Spirit - to tell God what you want to see done.
Paul Crouch: Because they were attributing your works to the devil.
Benny Hinn: To the devil, exactly.
Paul Crouch: Just like they did Jesus.
Benny Hinn: You see, the second they attribute the work of God to Satan, we as believers step into - legally step into a place where we can ask God to stop them.
Paul Crouch: Amen, amen. [Shows video from Denver]
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.
Benny Hinn: 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)
"And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. That,s right, it was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept Him pure. He was not only sent from heaven, but He was called the Son of Man - and as such He was capable of sinning... Without the Holy Ghost, Jesus would have never have made it... Can you imagine Christ headed for the grave, knowing He would remain there forever, if the Holy Ghost would change His mind about raising Him from the dead?"
(Benny Hinn, "Good Morning, Holy Spirit," 1990, page 135-36.)
Let us look at just one of Benny Hinn's teachings to see if he indeed is a servant of the Most High God. He teaches, "never, ever, ever go to the Lord and say, 'If it be thy will…He tells us to, "never pray, if it's thy will," a bold and blaspemous statement indeed! Will you follow man or God? Do you truly love God with all of your heart?
Jesus taught us, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen," Matthew 6:9-13 (See also: Psalm 143:10; James 4:15; 1 John 5:14).
Do you truly love God with all of your heart and soul or do you follow man? Is the bible your final authority or man? These are some questions that you might have to wrestle with. I pray that you choose God over man.

"God has a divine plan for your financial success, and He wants to pour out His blessings upon your life, including your finances!...The enclosed teaching also includes a personal testimony of how God used my dear friend Dr. Oral Roberts in a dynamic way many years ago to help me undersrtand God's plan for my own financial success. Dr. Roberts taught me how the principles of sowing and reaping revealed in the Scriptures could release God's blessings in my life. The insights he shared with me have revolutionzed my life. I have applied these principles and followed Dr. Roberts' example since that day. Each time I sow my seed and give to the work of the Lord, I do what Dr. Roberts said:
1) Write down your expected harvest.
2) Thank God for the anticipated harvest.
3) Sow in faith and expect to receive.
4) Keep giving until the harvest comes, for when it comes, you will be able to give again and again out of your abundance...If you need a financial breakthrough, make sure to send me your most urgent financial prayer needs...Sow a generous seed in faith today...Sow your seed in faith today and expect to receive, for your harvest of blessings is on the way!...Be sure to sow a generous seed that will activate your harvest.

"I am asking you to plant your most generous seed into what God is doing through this ministry...And so many of our partners who have sown seeds of faith into His work and kingdom during that past months are reporting such powerful spiritual and financial miracles...Why is planting your seed today so important? God has given certain seasons in the natural world, and this is certainly true in the spiritual realm, as well. There have been times in history in which God's timetable seems to take a long time between seed-planting time and harvest. And when the harvests have come, they have not always been so plenteous. Today's seasons have a shorter seed-to-harvest periods and greater harvests than we could have dreamed previously. What a time to plant a supernatural crop...Plant you seed with the earnest expectation that we are living, more than ever before, in a time of miraculous seasons of planting and harvest."
