Benny Hinn and the Subtlety of Satan

By David J. Stewart

       I tell you, Satan is so subtle. I heard Benny Hinn (an unsaved heretic) preach the Gospel, and it was correct in the particular crusade sermon I heard. That stumped me. I said to myself, I know that Hinn is a massive fraud and a false prophet, but he is preaching the Biblical Gospel as it should be. Hinn corrupts the meaning of the Godhead, teaches Lordship Salvation on his website, promoted Our Lady of Fatima on Larry King Live, praises the Catholic Pope, and a host of other heresies; but he was dead on in this particular sermon on TV.

I was confused by that. Then I remembered the demon-possessed woman who followed Paul and the other disciples in Acts 16:17, “The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.” Why would a demon-possessed woman lead lost sinners to Paul to be saved? That is confusing indeed. I also thought about Matthew 7:21-23, where a group of false prophets said they had cast out demons in Jesus' names; but were then cast into Hell by God because they were unsaved and had not done the will of the Father. They errantly thought they were saved, but were not. Satan had even used them during their earthly lives to cast out demons in Jesus' name (demons casting out demons to deceive the naive).

Jesus said in Luke 13:24 that MANY will seek to enter into Heaven, but will not be able. Most religious people are totally blinded to their lost sinful condition. Do you know why Benny Hinn exploits the Gospel? For the same reason that some false prophets are able to cast out demons, to DECEIVE. The Devil cannot heal anybody of true bodily sickness, but if the affliction is caused by a demon in the body, then Satan CAN heal that person to make it look like the minister is of God. This is not surprising the Bible says, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light, and his ministers of unrighteousness appear as ministers of righteousness to DECEIVE the masses (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15).

For Benny Hinn to preach the Gospel actually drives hundreds-of-millions of people AWAY from the Gospel, because he is a known deceiver and con-man. The woman who made money from divination and witchcraft, who followed Paul and the other disciples, drove people away from listening to Paul when they saw this women appearing to be associated with them. People thought she was crazy and so thought the same of the disciples. Paul finally got angry and ordered the demon out of her after days of listening to her mock them (Acts 16:18)! Benny Hinn mocks the Gospel.

Then I asked myself the question, “Does anybody get saved listening to Hinn?” I seriously doubt it because all of the people that go to his healing crusades only go either for entertainment or to be healed (which no one ever has). The crowds are mesmerized with music and Hinn's charisma and charm, and the offerings buckets are passed around to be filled. 2nd Peter 2:3 says that they are already damned, it's just a matter of time until Hell swallows Benny Hinn, Pat Robertson, and TBN beneath. The Bible says that if God spared not the angels that sinned, nor the world in Noah's day, nor Sodom and Gomorrah, then no one is going to escape God's wrath (2nd Peter 2:4-8). Verse 9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” The wicked are being RESERVED unto the Day of Judgment, but the righteous will be delivered. Benny Hinn is a doomed man! It is sad that men are so evil and willing to do Satan's bidding for worldly fame, pleasures and fortune.

Benny Hinn is to the Charismatic Movement what Billy Graham has been to Evangelical churches for decades, a prophet for hire, greedily going after the way of Balaam. The entire Ecumenical Movement is about money and corrupting churches to accept the New World Order in all its aspects. The Devil gets his Luciferian one-world religion and the sinister ministers get their filthy lucre. It would be very easy for someone to be deceived by Benny Hinn and think he is a true Christian, since his Gospel message sounds accurate (he doesn't believe a word of it I assure you); however, when one examines Hinn's strong Roman Catholic beliefs, connections, and background; then it becomes very obvious that the Devil is simply using Hinn to corrupt churches and swindle people out of their money (hundreds-of-millions of dollars worth).

Hinn doesn't believe a word of the Gospel he exploits, for if he did he would greatly fear God and stop what he is doing. When a minister is so cold-hearted that he can look directly into the camera and sware to you that he has never lied to you, while his victims testify against him by the droves, then you know that he doesn't know God. Don't be fooled by these TV imposters who preach the Gospel and come close to the truth, they're simply exploiting the truth for profit. They're saying whatever people want to hear to keep sending in the money, having itching ears (2nd Timothy 4:3).

Benny Hinn's Ecumenical Gospel

Benny Hinn ministries took in over $100,000,000 last year alone.  Listen to what Hinn said concerning Pope John Paul II after his death,

Pope John Paul II pointed millions to Jesus Christ when he was Pope. And I believe we're in for the greatest move of the Spirit of God on this planet."

BENNY HINN (Benny Hinn: The Impact of the Pope's Death, By Chris Mitchell, Middle East Bureau Chief, CBN.com). 

What? The Pope pointing people to Jesus? Hinn is a false prophet! Pope John Paul II pointed billions of people to MARY!!!Pope John Paul II pointed people to himself, to the Catholic priests, to the Seven sacraments, to religion, to Mary; BUT, not to Jesus Christ. You cannot point people to Jesus Christ while simultaneously teaching the traditions of men. John 4:24 plainly teaches that God must be worshipped in TRUTH, not the traditions of men. What a deception!!! This is why Christ said in Mark 7:7...

 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Deceptively, Benny Hinn presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ on his website. Benny Hinn also teaches that there are NINE members to the Godhead. Hinn is very deceptive. If you look at Benny Hinn's website, you might be totally convinced that he's a born again Christian. Yet, Hinn's life contradicts his statements. If a famous preacher claimed to believe in freedom and America; but then you find out that he was a member of the Communist Party at the SAME time, what would you think? That man is Martin Luther King Jr. Would you believe his words about freedom? No! Likewise, Benny Hinn presents the Gospel on his website; but, then praises the Pope, recognizes Our Lady of Fatima (Mary) as legitimate, partakes of transubstantiation (Catholic holy communion), and promotes Catholicism—The biggest cult on earth!

It's hard to believe that anyone would give a dime to Pastor Benny Hinn; but many people still haven't been told the truth.  These videos are irrefutable evidence that Benny Hinn is a bad man.  Please get the word out.  Benny Hinn was publicly exposed as a thieving charlatan by NBC Nightline.  You've got to see this...

Benny Hinn: A Massive Fraud and A Crook

Here's an entire series of videos exposing Benny Hinn Ministries...

Due to public outcry, and I'm certain hefty lost revenues, Benny Hinn has defended himself on his website by providing answers to TOP 20 QUESTIONS CONCERNING FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP.  Here is question 11 and Benny Hinn's answer:

11. Does the ministry make public its annual financials or publish an audited financial report? If so, how is this information made available? If not, why not?

As mentioned previously, on www.BennyHinn.org we openly publish both general financial information... and specialized miracle crusade and missionary outreach reports which detail what the ministry is doing around the world with the gifts invested by our partners.

However, mindful of the fact that both corporate and ministry financial reports can be manipulated by unscrupulous people with unsavory agendas, and in accordance with the regulations set forth by our Board of Directors, we do not publicize itemized annual financials or produce and distribute annual financial reports to the general public.

According to their lie chart (I mean "pie" chart), which can be viewed here, Benny Hinn Ministries breaks down their 2006 finances like this:

In sharp contrast, here's the Budgeted Expense Report for the First Baptist Church [FBC] of Diboll, Texas...

http://www.fbcdiboll.com/Financial%20Records/2007%20Financial%20Records/07%20-%20July/Budgeted%20Expense%20Report.pdf

FBC breaks down their finances to the point of showing that the Nursery Director received $127.50 and $60 went to Pineywoods Encampment.  Now that's financial accountability, because each of those items can be specifically questioned and accounted for. 

In contrast, Benny Hinn states that he doesn't want to itemize his finances because both corporate and ministry financial reports can be manipulated by unscrupulous people with unsavory agendas.  Would it matter Mr. Hinn?  If your ministry is spending the Lord's money wisely then there shouldn't be a problem.  What expenditures are you worried about that might be "manipulated"?  From the investigation done by NBC Nightline, showing that you paid $10,000 to stay in The Presidential Suite of a hotel for one night, I can see why you are reluctant to itemize your ministries' expenses. 

Hinn is deceitful.  He claims that 52% of contributions to his ministry went for "media ministry" in 2006.  Folks that alone amounts to over $50,000,000!!!  Hinn took in over $100,000,000 last year.  Benny Hinn refuses to tell us where that money is going.  The money could have been spent on ANYTHING, under the umbrella of "media ministry."  Where does Hinn's ten-thousand-dollar-a-night hotel rooms fit into the lie chart?

Greedy Televangelists!

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." —2nd Peter 2:1-3
