Another grave distortion of the truth. She may be his mentor, but I have read the true version from his own site and this version has been twisted here into a blatant lie.
Well Hinn had an annointed ministry at one time but the wealth and power has gone to his head. He is a false prophet liar who uses the word of our Lord to make money. I think he belongs in a rubber room. But I pray for him at this very moment..Lord that you will remove the deciet and greed from Benny Hinns heart and bring him back to you Father for we know that He has fallen into dark times.

SoftTouch I have seen too many lies re these preachers to believe that what you posted are truly "In the Words of Benny Hinn"
It was quite awhile ago that I saw the true version on one of his sites re Kathryn Khulman- totally different. I was just looking for that site and found some titles that were absolutely nonsense. "Benny Hinn is a Roman Catholic Mystic" and many sites have accused him of necromancy which is also a blatant lie.
I found a site that really sickened me where it has 'supposed videos' of many of the TV preachers, which were terribly blurred and it showed people making absolutely outrageous sounds and screeches. I have never seen anything like this on TV and it is obvious that they were altered.

SoftTouch, I did read those paragraphs in your last posts, but did not really see any instances where Benny Hinn, other than visiting the graves, of Benny "calling up familiar spirits" or "necromancers" or "mediums" in those paragraphs?

In the Words of Benny Hinn:
“One of the strangest experiences I had a few years ago [was] visiting Aimee’s tomb in California. This Thursday I’m on TBN. Friday I am gonna go and visit Kathryn Kuhlman’s tomb. It’s close by Aimee’s in Forest Lawn Cemetery. I’ve been there once already and every so often I like to go and pay my respects ‘cause this great woman of God has touched my life. And that grave, uh, where she’s buried is closed, they built walls around it. You can’t get in without a key and I’m one of the very few people who can get in. But I’ll never forget when I saw Aimee’s tomb. It’s incredibly dramatic. She was such a lady that her tomb has seven-foot angels bowing on each side of her tomb with a gold chain around it. As—as incredible as it is that someone would die with angels bowing on each side of her grave, I felt a terrific anointing when I was there. I actually, I—I, hear this, I trembled when I visited Aimee’s tomb. I was shaking all over. God’s power came all over me. ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee’s body. I know this may be shocking to you. ... And I’m going to take David [Palmquist] and Kent [Mattox] and Sheryl [Palmquist] this week. They’re gonna come with me. You—you—you gonna feel the anointing at Aimee’s tomb. It’s incredible. And Kathryn’s. It’s amazing. I’ve heard of people healed when they visited that tomb. They were totally healed by God’s power. You say, ‘What a crazy thing.’ Brother, there’s things we’ll never understand. Are you all hearing me?” Source: Benny Hinn sermon, Double Portion Anointing, Part #3, Orlando Christian Center, Orlando, Fla., April 7, 1991. From the series, Holy Ghost Invasion. TV#309, tape on file.
“The Lord gave me a vision of Kathryn Kuhlman in heaven, sitting with what seemed to be a group of people. … At least fifty to seventy of them were sitting in a group, and they were saying to me, "Pray! Ask God to give you a healing ministry that will touch the world!" And suddenly, I heard Kathryn's voice, and out of the blue, suddenly there - there she was, it's crystal clear. And she in her beautiful smile, the way she said, "Ask! We're waiting for you to ask! We're praying with you to ask "And the vision disappeared. And suddenly I said, "Lord!" and I asked. A week later the anointing hit my life. "(Benny Hinn, Honolulu Crusade, February 28, 1997).
"I've walked in the supernatural world. I've seen things you would never be able to understand...I've had individuals appear to me in my room. Not only angels."(HONOLULU CRUSADE Feb. 28, 1997)
"I’m telling you the truth you could literally sit there in total shock .... angels would appear in my bedroom at night and just stand and look at me i would wake up to see angels in my bedroom , all sizes, call me crazy but I would even see little boys in my bedroom with beautiful white robes they almost looked like girls but they were males ." (Benny Hinn Orlando christian center, personal testimony ).
Lev. 19:31 'Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
Deut 18:11 " one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead." God calls all of these an abomination. Mediums, spiritists, necromancers are those who receive messages from the dead from visiting their graves touching dead bodies by either visions, signs or by any communication.
Colossians 2:18-20 (New International Version) 18Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. 19He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

While I generally have had nothing against Benny Hinn, I have noticed that at times he starts to make some weird sounds as you are describing, SoftTouch, and it reminded me of a woman at a former job who was a "tongues-speaker" and while we were in our small (3-5 persons) Bible study group at work, she was "speaking in tongues" and suddenly started to almost growl and hiss, similar to what you are describing and similar to what I seem to have seen Benny Hinn do now and then. (But I haven't watched him much, though.)
And I definitely attributed what that co-worker was doing as a demonic spirit which was attached to the tongues-speaking. It was scary and not wholesome like the Holy Spirit would have been.
So who knows, maybe Benny Hinn does have a demon.

How do I know?
That's why I posted the audio links - go listen to his own voice with your own ears.
If you STILL defend Hinn, the you are a greatly deceived person, seeking the people who tickel your ears (and flesh)

How do I know these aren't lies? I've seen Many, Many video clips of Hinn's antics and it's SCARY! Especially when he Hisses like a snake or growls like a beast! I'm not kidding! I've seen this! The one that really freaked me out was when his wife got on stage and started yelling to the crowd that people needed a Holy Ghost enema! No Joke! I saw this clip - it was Unbelievable...
The quotes that are attributed to Hinn (and other teachers) are Easily Verified as all quotes come with the info on where they came from (be it a book, a particular show, etc.)

This is very true, but we have to use our own discernment and not turn to 'opinions' of the myriad of websites that are out and all too frequently express dangerous bias towards these preacher. How can we be positive they are not using vindictiveness, and using the internet as a platform for their own personal agenda?

God makes it VERY VERY clear what He thinks of people who speak falsely in His name, and He makes is VERY clear we are to STAY AWAY.
But, this also shows the heart of all those other teachers on TBN that stand behind Hinn.
IF they are of God, are they going to endorse, or support a worker of evil?
If they can't discern Hinn's doings, then how can they discern to teach others in mass???
Matthew 7:21-23
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"

Benny Hinn IS A FALSE PROPHET
HE IS NOT OF GOD
IF HIS PROPHESEY IS NOT OF GOD EITHER IS ANYTHING ELSE HE DOES!!!!!!
Trinity Broadcasting Network began its Spring 2000 fundraising Praise-A-Thon with some rather astounding claims. On the April 2nd TBN program, Benny Hinn claimed that God is about to make a major move to anoint the people of God, as soon as Israel signs a treaty with the ailing Hafez Al-Assad* of Syria, which will likely be within the next year. This will signal the impending large scale shift of financial wealth from the wicked to those obedient to God. But, in order to benefit from this unprecedented supernatural anointing, you must be obedient to God and sow your financial seed (to TBN) now!
* The death of Assad on June 10th 2000 shows that Benny Hinn did not know what he was talking about, and is further proof that he is a false prophet, if any more evidence was needed.

BENNY HINN IS OF HIS FATHER THE DEVIL
Listen to the FALSE prophecy in his own words.
You still want to beleive him, you are warned, you will know who you are following
I'll still let God judge. Many people prophecy without understanding and perhaps that is Benny Hinn's problem, I don't know.
I don't follow his ministry, and he is too much for me to take in, but that doesn't mean I am ready to throw out the good he is doing.
Fidel Castro recently is having bad health. Cuba is ready for the gospel. I believe I heard that Cuba also had a revival and Castro is willing to allow the gospel to be preached.
Many people do get into prophecy when that is not their gift, and perhaps that is Hinn's failing.
I agree it doesn't show much discernment, but... people got saved before the Civil war who really believed that Blacks were under the curse of Cain.
I'm so glad God is merciful to us in our errors.
Hinn's ministry will be judged by God and Hinn expects people to follow him, instead of Christ alone, he will defeat himself by his own lips as you have documented.

When Benny Hinn or whosoever will IS invited into a children's cancer ward it will happen.
The Holy Spirit will not strongarm a captive audience. Now Hinn preaches to those who willingly want to listen. We can't preach or deliver those who are forced to listen.
One day the hospitals will have patients running down the street singing for joy and the doctors and nurses will be following them, also singing for joy, but that Day is not yet.

Tongues of fire in Acts 2:3-4 was the manifestation of the Holy Spirit being poured out.
Freezing-Amos 9:5 The Lord, the God of Hosts; He touches the earth; it melts and all who dwell on it mourn."
People get excited and shriek and shout and hoot and yell, jump up and down for football games or baseball or other sports, and we accept it.
Yet when people are excited about what God is doing and they have entered into His Presence and they shout and jump and yell, people despise them.
David danced before the Lord and the Ark of the Covenant and his wife "despised" David and told him he behaved unseemly and unrespectfully as a king.
In Acts the 120 were filled with the Holy Spirit and the people said they were drunk with wine.
We are admonished to be filled with the Holy Spirit and not be drunk with wine.
Evidently when we are filled with the Holy Spirit we are joyful and exurberant and excited, and may appear to be intoxicated. That's scriptural.
Many people are FROZEN. We stand stiff as a board and cannot enter in, we can't mourn things that need to be mourned, and we can be joyful either.

This was a post on another board I'm on. The poster did not supply a link back to the original article.

OUT OF CONTROL, AGAIN!
Benny Hinn screams, hisses and pushes
followers during Canada Crusade
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone, Causing the omens of boasters to fail, Making fools out of diviners, Causing wise men to draw back And turning their knowledge into foolishness” (Isaiah 44:24-25); NASV).
It's a known fact that Benny Hinn considers the late Kathryn Kuhlman as his mentor, and has gone so far as to claim visitations from her and receive an “anointing” from her grave. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Kuhlman would have turned cartwheels had she witnessed Hinn's antics during his 2004 Toronto, Canada crusade.
“God’s presence fell mightily as the thousands gathered at the Air Canada Centre began to worship together,” reads the This Is Your Day “Weekly Review” of Monday, 8/30/04. “The presence of God was so strong that even Pastor Benny said he could hardly stand under this great anointing and entire sections began to fall in the presence of God.
During the telecast, Hinn screamed at the top of his voice, hissed like a snake and literally pushed some of his loyal followers into the waiting arms of “catchers,” as if God is incapable of preventing injury to those being “slain” under the power.
Nevertheless, there was a strong “presence” and “great anointing” during the crusade. The question is, was it of God?
Excerpts from the 2004 Toronto, Canada Crusade
“FIRE ON YA! FIRE!,” Hinn screams, deep and gutteral, after instructing a bevy of pastors to quickly hold hands and prepare for the anointing. Then, with a mighty wave of his right hand, the pastors fell back into the waiting seats of their chairs.
“LIFT YOUR HANDS--RECEIVE IT! LIFT YOUR HANDS-- RECEIVE IT!” Hinn commands. “People ask for anything! ASK FOR ANYTHING YOU WANT!”
“Bring these men from India over here!” Hinn orders. ”C'mon, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick! Ohh, bring that other young man here quickly! Yeah, yeah, yeah! You're just freezing under the anointing, mighty brother!”
“Freezing under the anointing”? “Freezing”? Is there a Biblical precedence? The Bible mentions the word “frozen” in Job 38:30, but it has nothing to do with an anointing.
“THAT'S THE HOLY GHOST!” Hinn shouts, as men fall under the strange power permeating the stage. “THAT'S THE HOLY GHOST ALL OVER YA!”
Very simply, how does Hinn know the men were covered with the Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost is spirit, and therefore has not been seen.
“You that are being healed get up here quick!” Hinn demands. In case his faithful followers were overwhelmed by his showmanship and not paying attention, Hinn repeats the demand: “C'mon, you that are being healed get up here quick!”
While awaiting the usual carbon-copied miraculous healings which, by the way, remain unverifiable, Hinn informs his choir that “THERE'S ALREADY AN ANOINTING HERE!”
Upon instruction to join hands, Hinn turns, points to his choir and screams in a deep, gutteral voice: “My God, there's fire here! 'There's fire,' I said! 'There's fire,' I said! FIRE ON YA CHOIR! FIRE ON YA!”
Numerous choirmembers fall backwards.
There is NO Biblical precedence for pronouncing “FIRE” on Christians. Neither Jesus nor His Apostles did it and neither should we. This is just another example of Hinn's treading on extremely dangerous ground.
But Hinn's “mighty” fire-anointing isn't reserved for just a select few on his stage or in his choir. Now it's time to heat-up his followers.
Hinn points to a section of the audience to his left: “JOIN HANDS QUICKLY OVER THERE! JOIN HANDS QUICKLY!” he roars. “THE MIGHTY, MIGHTY ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST HERE! Receive the fire of the Holy Ghost!”
Hinn stretches-forth his arm towards the audience, closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and screams, “POWER ON YA IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME!”
Evidently, Hinn's anointing has lost power or, maybe Hinn's god was tired of hearing him scream and shout. Less than one hundred of his followers fell back, while thousands remained standing.
While the above is, in itself, frightening to watch and listen to, what followed next is spine-chilling.
Hinn faces the camera and screams, “YOU IN YOUR HOMESSSSSSS!” (hissing sound) “You in your homes, you've watched the miracles. It's the presence of God we hunger for” (deep, gutteral). It's the presence of God we're starving for. It's the presence of God every cell in our body is STARVING FOR! I release the anointing of the Holy Ghost...I release this anointing, and I speak forth the word of deliverance, and I cast every demon out! You devil of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and AIDS--COME OUT! Come out in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Frightening, chilling, and downright evil.
Does this mean that Hinn's faithful and true followers worldwide, who suffer from those deadly diseases, experienced a miraculous healing? If so, where are the newspaper headlines? For example:
Millions Miraculously Healed of Deadly Diseases Worldwide
Terminally-Ill Patients Leave Hospitals in Droves
Doctors Worried, Hospitals Closing Doors
If millions, thousands or just hundreds were miraculously healed, it would be very difficult to keep it from the Christian and secular news media.
Keep in mind that Hinn released his anointing, his word of deliverance and exorcism of demons to people in their “homes,” not the hospitals and clinics.
The question still lingers: If Benny Hinn really has the gift of healing, and people are really being healed during Hinn's healing crusades, why doesn't he take the time to visit the hospital Intensive Care Units, emergency rooms, clinics and childrens' burn centers in each city where his crusades are held?
Since Hinn's ability to release his anointing isn't restricted to personal visits, and since he has demonstrated his ability to release his anointing into homes, via television, time-and-time again, it isn't mandatory for him to pay a personal visit to the sick and dying (which could cause a media frenzy). All he has to do is show up unannounced outside a medical facility, and release his mighty anointing while standing in the parking lot or on the sidewalk.
Is that asking too much from a man who claims the ability to cast demons of deadly diseases from the bodies of his followers? Is that asking too much from a man who claims regular visitations from none ther than Jesus Christ?
Think about it.
Which is it, AIDS or HIV?
“Talk to me, Harry!” Hinn shouts.
“These are the ones you called-out with AIDS, pastor!” Harry exclaims.
“MY GOD!” Hinn blasphemes.
“H-I-V!” Harry yells.
“YOU DEVIL OF AIDS, COME OUT OF THEM IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD!” Hinn shouts and demands. “YOU COME OUT OF THEM! 'YOU COME OUT OF THEM,' I said. COME OUT! 'COME OUT,' I said.”
Immediately, Hinn pushes a man and two women backwards into the arms of his catchers. For reasons unknown, one woman's face was blurred during this telecast.
From the Centers for Disease Control:
“What is HIV?
HIV is the condition that causes AIDS. This condition may be passed from one person to another when infected blood, semen, or vaginal secretions come in contact with an uninfected person’s broken skin or mucous membranes...People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. Some of these people will develop AIDS as a result of their HIV infection.”
Knee-Braces and Cervic Cancer
Steve Brock ushers a woman onstage. “Five years wearing the brace because of knee replacement; lot of pain in her body!”
“Pick up your legs!” Hinn instructs over and over. Hinn pushes the woman and her companion backwards, then picks up the woman's black knee-braces and slings them off-stage (keep this in mind).
“Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which injured or damaged parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial parts...The artificial parts are cemented into place. Your new knee will consist of a metal shell on the end of the femur, a metal and plastic trough on the tibia, and if needed, a plastic button in the kneecap” (excerpt from “Total Knee Replacement,” Virtual Hospital, bold emp. in original).
“CERVIC CANCER!” announces Sam Hinn, Benny's brother. “THE PAIN IS GONE!”
“My God!” Hinn says.
“TONIGHT, ALL THE PAIN IS GONE!” Sam Hinn explains.
“THAT CANCER GOES IN JESUS' NAME!” Hinn shouts, as he pushes the woman and her male companion. “Cancer, my brother! Or arthritis, whatever it is, it's so minute in comparison to the presence of God here! Lady, you'll never have cancer. I said, 'You'll never;' THE DEVIL OF CANCER HAS BEEN BEATEN IN YOUR BODY! I'M TELLING YA THE DEVIL OF CANCER IS DEAD!”
Strange that Benny Hinn would pronounce the “DEVIL OF CANCER” as “DEAD” in the woman's body and not say the same about the “DEVIL OF AIDS” (above).
Hip Replacement and Eye-Glasses: skipping over the small, important details...again
Steve Brock ushers a limping, elderly lady on-stage: “Hip replacement on the right-side; was planning on one on the left-side; doesn't need it! The Lord has done it! Doctor Jesus operated!”
“What Is a Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement, or arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with new, artificial parts. These artificial parts are called the prosthesis. The goals of hip replacement surgery are to improve mobility by relieving pain and improve function of the hip joint” (NIAMS-National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, bold emp. in original).
“During hip replacement, the surgeon removes the diseased bone tissue and cartilage from the hip joint. The healthy parts of the hip are left intact. Then the surgeon replaces the head of the femur (the ball) and the acetabulum (the socket) with new, artificial parts. The new hip is made of materials that allow a natural, gliding motion of the joint. Hip replacement surgery usually lasts 2 to 3 hours” (ibid.).
As the elderly lady approaches Hinn, Hinn lifts his legs up-and-down, up-and-down. The lady mimics Hinn by lifting her legs up-and-down. Hinn pushes the lady into the arms of a catcher, then quickly runs backwards, as if the anointing boomeranged from the lady and back to him.
“FIRE ON YA, LADY!” Hinn shouts. “See, when they come up, they forget about their sickness. All they want is that fresh, blessed water from the well! LIFT YOUR HANDS AND ASK FOR THE SAME THING! ...You see how unimportant the sickness has become in the river of the living God?”
Yes, Benny, for a brief period of time they do forget. But when the excitement of the moment dies down and reality sets in, they leave the crusade the same way they entered: sick and in pain.
The elderly lady is raised from the stage-floor by two catchers. Hinn waves his left hand up-and-down, up-and-down only inches from the lady's face. She seems totally mesmerized. The lady falls back into the arms of two catchers.
“The most common problem that may happen soon after hip replacement surgery is hip dislocation. Because the artificial ball and socket are smaller than the normal ones, the ball can become dislodged from the socket if the hip is placed in certain positions. The most dangerous position usually is pulling the knees up to the chest” (ibid., bold emp. mine).
It is interesting to note that along with the hip replacement on her right-side, the elderly lady wore eye-glasses. Did Hinn's god forget to heal her eyes? Why weren't the lady's eyes healed and her eye-glasses tossed off-stage along with the above cited knee-braces? Did the elderly lady walk normally or limp off-stage?
Furthermore, artificial hips are usually made from metal or plastic parts. Did Hinn's god heal the lady's right-side by removing the artificial parts and recreating a brand new hip?
Untold numbers of people claim to be healed during Hinn's crusades. Many of them wear eye-glasses, as verified when the camera pans the stage and audience. Since Hinn's god is credited with curing anything from AIDS to raising the dead, why didn't he restore their impaired vision to 20/20?
Sound silly? Maybe so, but it's the small but important details that are oftentimes overlooked by Hinn, his followers and his god.
The Burning Fires of Deception
Since the early 1990's, Benny Hinn's ministry has been under constant criticism--specifically from cult evangelists, apologists, theologians, pastors and former members of his churches--for much of what he has done, said and taught during his telecasts and crusades.
Why? Benny Hinn is the most prolific heretic and false prophet of our day. Books, videos, DVDs, articles, news releases, media documentaries and websites have been provided to expose his deception.
Hinn can make excuses, avoid his critics, refuse to be accountable and spread incredible deception to the far corners of the earth. He can surround himself with untold riches and bodyguards. He can run, but he can't hide from the wrath of God:
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (Jude 1:4; NASV).
Notice the words, ...those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation...
Friends, let's face the facts. Heretics and false prophets were present during Biblical times. They are alive and thriving right now, moreso than any time in history. Again, Jude warned of the ungodly persons who were long beforehand marked out for the condemnation. Because of the deception promoted by ungodly heretics, Jude placed a tremendous emphasis on defending the faith:
Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints (Jude 3; NASV).
But in spite of the solid documentation and, most importantly, what the Bible teaches, day-by-day--through years of repetition--those within the Word-Faith movement have been trained and conditioned to:
*
* accept extra-Biblical revelations and false teachings as Scripture. defend heretics at the cost of friends, family and Christian fellowship.
* label apologists, cult evangelists and ministers as ”Heresy Hunters” and attackers of God's anointed.
*
* distance themselves from fellow believers who disagree. l
* redefine and misinterpret Scripture, thereby downplaying the authority of God's word. l
* accept without question new revelations and prophecies, regardless of how false, ridiculous, blasphemous or unBiblical. l
* believe that clear-cut false prophecies are just simple mistakes. l
* believe their lack of physical healing is due to their lack of faith and financial funding. l
* uphold their leaders' words over-and-above the Bible. l
* believe they are healed of debilitating, terminal diseases when in fact they are not. l
not hold their leaders accountable to to the body of Christ.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2 Timothy 4:3-4; KJV).
Wake up, people! That time is here!
There is nothing original about Benny Hinn's teachings and his so-called dreams, visions and revelations. Others within the Word-Faith camp laid the groundwork and set the standard before he came along. Therefore, don't confuse Hinn's abilities and knowledge with their true origin, which is nothing more than a standing-on-the-shoulder imitation of heretical giants such as E.W. Kenyon, Kenneth Hagin, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, Aimee Semple McPherson, Finis Jennings Dake (Dake's Bible), Kenneth Copeland, and lying, demonic spirits' impersonating Jesus Christ, dead heretics, angels and numerous unknown individuals.
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; (Jeremiah 23:25-26; KJV).
Thus, if Benny Hinn is actually experiencing visions, it isn't Kathryn Kuhlman, angels or Jesus Christ he is seeing and talking to, but familiar spirits:
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee (Deuteronomy 18:9-12; KJV).
Through his false teachings, false prophecies and three-ring circus healing crusades, Benny Hinn is deceiving others and causing others to deceive. His faithful followers, which number in the ten-of-thousands worldwide, are being led down the path to destruction--with Bibles' in their hands. They have finally reached the point of believing anything that proceeds from Hinn's mouth.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12; KJV).
Is Benny Hinn a Christian? If so, let him repent, step down from his self-made throne and be accountable to the body of Christ. Until that happens, don't be surprised at what you see and hear.
In the meantime,
God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
