Thanks for giving credit to Steven Kozar. His work on exposing heretical false teachers has been very appreciated. His channel is The Messed Up Church.
Mike, I lost it with the little girl with cancer. I feel your anger and it is definitely righteous anger. As the mom of two terminally ill children, this breaks my heart and I found myself bawling. Then you opened the bible and read about biblical suffering and our ultimate resting place! Now I am crying tears of joy and not of anger and sadness. Thank you for doing what you do. One of my terminal sons watches all of your videos and is truly blessed by your ministry
I think I was initially shocked, but then immediately underwhelmed in light of some of the other videos Mike has made. Lol! Still huge, though. But is it huge enough?
I know! I'm 30 mins in so not a dent... so checked the time and almost choaked on my own spit 😅 but I do appreciate Mike's careful attention to detail.
My mom had cancer she would watch Benny Hinn believing God would heal her. Her hospice nurse told her sometimes God heals us in his presence. That gave my mom so much peace she was no longer afraid of dying. And in her passing the Presence of God was so strong in her hospital room that the nurses felt it and told us we felt something beautiful and warm in her your mom’s room. We stayed with my mom in her room and we played Christian music and in her coma she would lift her hands praising God. I know that many of you would say she wasn’t in a coma if she lifting he hands. My Bible says even the rocks cry out.
As an atheist, I deeply appreciate Christians who take the time to call out the obvious hypocrisy and flagrant predatory behavior of these religious leaders. Thanks Mike.
True Christians are even more disgusted by these people than atheists are! In my opinion, atheists- even immoral ones- are usually thousands of times better than a “believer” who lies in the name of God and dishonors His name!
As a christian myself, please know that a lot of what you see and hear being done in the name of religion, in the name of Christ, doesn't line up with what the Bible actually teaches, especially in mainstream mega churches. So much twisting of scripture and deception going on and getting worse all the time.
I’m Jewish and I totally agree with you. I get very turned off by predatory religious leaders who do evil in the name of G-d. In the third saying of Sinai G-d said that we may not carry his name in vain which means to do evil in his name. G-d even said that he will not acquit the ones who do such things
I pray you ask, seek, knock in earnest, my friend. Please do not give up searching for the Truth. God is real, and I hope and pray you have an encounter with Him soon. God bless you ❤
Mike, thank you for taking the time to do such a thorough video. We've watched some of this for homeschool today and my girls asked a lot of *great* questions.
I grew up in a church whose pastor played the keyboard for Kenneth Copeland. Bennys daughter would come to our youth group some times. No surprise I became an atheist at 15, and almost 20 years later after causing more pain to the people I love than I can comprehend due to addiction and lust I finally surrendered and called out to God. Now I’m realizing how I was essentially raised in a cult. Every day I have to work on surrendering to Jesus and letting him guide my life, and to not hold resentments towards the adults who failed me as a child. I trust you Lord that you will sanctify me, that you will give me the strength to overcome my temptations and be a servant of your will.
Me too. My "church" was run by masons. I never disbelieved in God, but had a very distorted view of Him for a long time. When I started reading the Bible for myself I saw that they were glossing over the truth with nice sounding, but empty, words.
Just find a good old fashioned church that preaches the word of god, isn’t clickish, and form strong relationships with other Christian brothers and sisters
Pastor Mike, you deserve all the flack you're getting for this because you have done a marvelous job exposing Benny Hinn. I am so glad that I watched this....but I had to do it in many pieces because I was getting angry watching deceptions. I was particularly moved, almost to tears, when he pushed the woman with cancer. You get this kind of push back because you have exposed the wickedness. God bless you Bro. Mike.
My husband and I are missionaries in Kenya and one of our biggest challenges and concerns is warning these (mostly uneducated) people about Benny Hinn (who is now targeting the vulnerable in Africa) Using God’s Word to refute his lies and Bible twisting and protecting the small flock in our charge is made more of a challenge because of people like Benny Hinn. Thank you Mike again for a calm, straightforward and biblical refute against this wolf in sheep’s clothing.
@jamalkarissa7216 if people don’t know the Word of God, and don’t know the false teachings that Benny Hinn has done, wouldn’t you agree they were uneducated on these topics?
@jamalkarissa7216 Well, the vast majority are still uneducated in matters of false teachers. He recently went to kenya. Early this year. Did you see how many pastors attended his crusade?
Brother Mike, saw your “Benny Hinn is trying to silence me” vid which led me to your 4 hour expose on this man, I watched it all in one sitting..I’m a retired senior. Well done, I stand with you on this vid.
I saw Ruslans's commentary on the second video which made me look foe the original post. Two decades ago I learned from a news story that this man has mansions and that the healing were questionable. Thank you for your diligent research. I see your concern and compassion for these victims.
My grandmother died 22 years ago after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. After her death I found a piece of notepaper with Benny Hinn’s name and mailing address and the word “prayer” and “$25” scrawled next to it. My grandmother had almost no money. This made me so sad. Thank you for doing this.
And that's one of the major issues with Hinn that Dr. Michael Brown, Sam Storms and other word faith apologists refuse to look at: the shameless exploitation of sick people
I'm so sorry about your mom, Pastor Mike. My husband has throat cancer currently and having radiation. Pancreatic cancer is horrible. Praying for you. Thank you for this exposure of Benny Hinn
May I ask are you born again and ready to stand before the Lord, Jesus Christ is God Almighty and he came in the flesh and he lived a sinless life, he died of sacrificial death and rose again that through faith our sins can be forgiven, if you believe in your heart that he rose from the dead and you confess him as or you will be saved and born again, we are all going to stand before God and our sins can only be forgiven to his son Jesus Christ for God made his son sin that you know sin that we may become the righteousness of God in him, God bless you and I hope for the resurrection transcends all suffering in this world
I’m the guy Mike talked about in the video with the knee problems as a kid. I WAS 💯 healed by God that night. I did pray to Jesus to heal me and He did, by His grace and mercy in that moment. After watching this video, even though Im grateful to the Lord for my healing at the crusade, my heart aches and I feel like crying as I watch this. So much confusion from each of these elderly people with these “healings” while they’re on stage standing in front of the Lord wanting a touch from Him. I pray Hynn renounces his ways and repents… turning to the only true healer, Jehovah Rapha. Jesus Christ. Yeshua the one and only true king.
You were healed not from Hinn or his crusade, your faith brought you healing. The Apostles Never took credit for healing, they Always gave glory to Jesus for any miracles! Pray for Hinn to repent and step down and tell his followers that he was misleading them. Pray for his followers that their eyes are opened. It’s so sad.
Glory be to God. Jesus does heal today, but I agree that this (and other ministries like this) is heartbreaking, and is damaging to the reputation of Jesus and his continuing ministry now.
Healing comes from faith in "GOD" not from the minister. Hinn may be the messenger of God, but he does not "heal". Only God does. And only God deserves the Glory. And be careful who you judge, because with the same amount u judge with, so shall u be judged.
The biggest miracle about this video is that someone at TH-cam actually watched 4 hours and 18 minutes to determine that there was no grounds for a copyright strike and didn't just pretend to watch the whole video. Whoever made that determination at TH-cam is a legend who deserves a raise.
12 WAYS TO RECOGNISE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS 1. MENTAL FILTER - PICKING OUT SINGLE NEGATIVE DETAIL AND FOCUSING ONLY ON THAT, WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY GOOD THINGS.fOR EXAMPLE, AFTER ACONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE YOU ONLY RECALL THE ONE MINOR CRITISM AND IGNORETHE 16 GOOD THINGS HE SAID. 2.All or Nothing Thinking- Seeing things in black & white, missing the grey, e.g. they either love me or they hate me Over-generalisation- Seeing a negative event as a sign that everything is negative, i.e.’ I always fail’, ‘I fail at everything I do’, or ‘I am always and forever going to be skint’ 3.Discounting the positive- Recognising something good in your life and then rejecting it as irrelevant. ‘That doesn’t count’, or ‘anyone can do that’ 4.Jumping to Conclusions- Making negative interpretations without facts to back them up. ‘I have a swollen gland, it must be cancer’. 5.Mind Reading- Making negative interpretations of what others may be thinking. 6.Fortune Telling- Anticipating that things will turn out badly, and feeling like your prediction is already a fact. 7.Magnifying- Exaggerating the importance of things like mistakes, or someone else’s achievement 8.Minimisation- Underestimating the importance of positive events or your own good qualities. 9.Perfectionism (unrealistic goals)- You motivate yourself with, ‘should’, & ‘must’. If you don’t manage to do things exactly right you then feel guilty and demoralised. If you direct these statements towards other people you feel anger, resentment & frustration. ‘Other people should always be reliable, trustworthy, on time, etc’ 10.Self-Blame- You see yourself as responsible for some negative external events for which you were not responsible. ‘I’m just bad luck for anyone who comes near me’, remember you are responsible for your own thoughts and feelings; others are responsible for their own 11. Self-Putdowns- Attaching a negative label to yourself. ‘I’m a bad person’, ‘I don’t deserve any better’, ‘I am stupid, unreliable, weak’.
If you can identify with at least three of these negative thinking patterns you could be the victim of negative thoughts. Remember this is mostly an unconscious process, so it can be difficult to recognise this thinking.
FYI: Nobody at TH-cam watches the videos for copyright strikes -- they'd need an entire army of tens of thousands to do that -- it's an automated system driven by AI and algorithms. The only thing that happened (so far) is that the TH-cam scans haven't detected any audio or video fingerprints that match the copyrighted material in their database.
I was a member (over 3 years), of his church when he was on Gore Street in Orlando before he moved to the large facility on Forest City Rd. I was very active in Orlando Christian Center. He said and did some things I felt were not biblical and were false prophecies. I left his country club church and never went back. Thank you God that you saved me from him many years ago. Benny Hinn needs GOD.
I am in Kenya. Benny Hinn had a major crusade here recently, backed up by politicians and some clergy. I didn't have words to share to prove that Benny Hinn is a liar. Happy to have this video to share. Thank you.
I raised this issue with my pastor and I asked him whether he would attend the crusade… my pastor’s answer was « About Benhin I may not support going to grave coz I don't have such belief but even the bones of Elisha raised a dead person. I also have misgivings about him because of some things he has confessed about manipulating people through giving but my sister who is perfect? Sometimes it's good to concentrate on positivity but that doesn't mean one is to be careless.» He also told me to continue testing the spirit of someone. Phillipians 15 - 18 15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, To God be the glory… Amen 🙏🏽
I was in the hospital getting prepped for surgery. The anesthesiologist was telling me what he was going to do. Then he said that if my lungs don't hold up under my weight (which I'm a bit over weight), that he would cancel the surgery because if he put too much pressure on my lungs, they would bust. The surgery required that I would be at an angle with my intestines and flab, pushing on my lungs. The machine would have to pump air in. This whole thing started to scare me so I said that I don't want the surgery. The anesthesiologist said that I needed the surgery. I was diagnosed with precancer. I figured it could wait. But what the doctor saud kind of surprised me. Then my oncologist who was also in the room, asked if I wanted to talk to the minister (who was walking down the hallway toward the area of my room). Sure, I said. The minister came in and the doctors left. He started talking about breath and the Holy Spirit. Which was odd since he was nowhere near the room when me and the doctors were talking about the breathing issues. The he prayed for me. It was at that time I felt a tingling in my lungs. I tried everything I could to make sure it was real and what could be causing it. The doctors haven't given me anything yet. Then this image was in my head of metal lungs. It was there the whole time the ministe was praying. Then the doctors came in and I said,let's do this. Surgery went fine. Lungs held up with no issue. Turned out I had stage 1 cancer. The precancer had surrounded the stage 1 cancer to where it couldn't be detected. The words of the anesthesiologist rang in my head. God surely was there. Letting me know how serious it was and that He took care of me. It was caught in time. It was contained in an area that was removed. I've been cancer free since 2022. I pray that people are blessed with real healings and answered prayers. Miracles do happen.
Matthew 7: 15-20 15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. The fruit is bad- As presented by your video, Mike! Thanks for the detailed video.
I do cancer research for my job, and I’ve spent a lot of time on pancreatic cancer specifically. There’s no way to describe it other than gruesome, even among other cancers. These are sick-and I mean SICK-patients, and the fact that people like Hinn would even dare to use people like this for their own ends and _in the name of Jesus_ , no less, is despicable. Anyone who would try to defend false teachers like this because critiquing “causes division” needs to _wake up_ . These are real people whose _eternal fates_ are on the line when the name of God is dragged through the mud by people like Hinn. Mike, you are doing work that needs doing. Thank you.
My dad had cancer in the duodenum and it moved to his pancreas. He had a Whipple and then it moved to his liver. Thank you for your comment and the research you put in. Benny Hinn is a Charlatan as well as the other preachers like him.
Mike you are absolutely correct on him being a bad man and a con man. I had a son with MD he passed in 2014, but in the 90s, i drove my son desperate for healing 2300 miles to see this man of God who was healing people, we spent 3 days in Charlotte, NC and the last day he called out MD patients, and I carried my son down front and was met with huge security guards who threatened to escort me out if I didn't leave, so I went to the other side of the stage, and they were furious and almost got violent with me, so my son and I left ashamed that we fell for this Charlatan. I had to repent for being so foolish, thank you for your work brother.
If Benny's not a falsch teacher, then no one is. If he's not a wolf in sheeps clothing, then they dont exist. Benny is the most obvious one of these that Jesus, Paul, Peter and Jude warned us about. How much more of them are slithering in our midst??? Mike, you did such a great job, super content. Thank you so much, what a blessing.
At a ladies Bible Study, I used Benny Hinn as an example of who I considered a false teacher. Unbeknown to me, one of the newer women was one of his disciples. She accused me of not being fit to lead a study and insisted that I repent of what I said. I replied that I was sorry if I upset her but would not repent because I believe what I said. I suggested we drop it and get back to the study. She would not stop accusing me and telling me to repent, loudly, stabbing her fingers toward me. Eventually, we moved to prayer, which quieted her. Thereafter, every week, she repeated her demand that I repent. She was relentless and made continuing the study impossible. Eventually, after several weeks, the hostess asked her to leave. It shook me so much, I have not lead a study since. Other things happened that caused me to conclude there were demonic forces involved. This is a much needed video and I feel vindicated. The Benny Hinn disciple eventually left our church of her own accord.
I really hope that you go back to leading bible studies again one day- it sounds as if you are a real bible believing Christians- we need more Christians like you xx
Jehovah's Christian witnesses are the truth and the only organization that Jehovah is using. The reason why they are different and believe different things is because Jehovah is the interpreter of prophecy, he decides what things mean and he has gradually and carefully overtime revealed his word the way that it should be... I mean here's a classic example of how Christendom understand the Bible John 8:58 is talking about jesus age, but christendom focus on the words "I am" knot actually there in this context as he is referring to the past) and try to link it with Exodus chapter 3 verse 15, the 2 have nothing to do with each other and 1700 years of christendom having the Bible has produced that nonsense... When a person is blinded by a particular doctrine they cannot see the truth no matter how hard they look, And that's why no one in christendom has the truth and only the Jehovah's Christian witnesses do, and when all religion is destroyed, That's when everyone will know who was right and who was wrong... The witnesses are the only religion on earth with this particular belief as far as I know... Jehovah has put everyone on notice.
Mike Winger is one of the only people left that still give me hope and faith to be a Christian. I grew up in the Vineyard in the 90s at Anaheim with all the charismatic big wigs. I have seen and been through so much spiritual manipulation. I almost died as a child because I became gravely ill. My mother would not take me to the doctor, and instead took me to a Benny Hinn conference to be healed. The doctor said if she waited one more day I would have died. I am so repulsed and disgusted by most charismatic churches that I considered never going back to church. My faith was almost shipwrecked. I was encouraged by this video and Winger. I am grateful there are still pastors with a backbone. This needs to be done.
Others who have encouraged me are Alisa Childers, Steven Lawson, the Cultish podcast, and the Just Thinking podcast…to name a few. I grew up in the Pentecostal church and even went to Inland Vineyard (2014-2016) and visited Anaheim a couple of times. I remember my husband coming home from a men’s retreat there and being disturbed.
I know what you mean but don’t make the mistake I did, letting churches that let you down and instead of seeking God’s wisdom on what to do just get emotionally wrecked, I took it out on God what man did and hurt The One True God. It’s sad there are so many false teachers now but that’s all the more reason to dig your heels in and just be faithful and true for Him. I struggle a lot trying to forgive myself but I cling to Hebrews 7:25 He is able to save to the uttermost. God bless and hang in there, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. 🙏❤️
I agree with @bibleprophecy4400, don't turn away from God because of false people! God is perfect and amazing and His Word is the truth. So many people twist the Bible to say what they want, but if you go back and read it for yourself, it is always consistent and true. People like Benny cherry pick parts and add them together to create lies.
Before i got saved, i lost my mom to cancer in 2017. She battled most of her life and never got healed. She was 50. She went into hospice, and even though i wasnt saved, i knew my mom was. There was something so peaceful to know she wouldnt suffer anymore and was with Jesus. It actually eventually got me saved because i started seeking. After i got saved i lost both of my grandparents, on my dads side, 18 days apart. It was hard but i looked to God for my hope and peace. As i watch my biological Family grow smaller, there is a hope that lives in me. Jesus walks with me and gives me peace in the dark moments. Thank you for exposing this. Death is a part of this life. Check your heart. Where does your hope reside? God bless all of you!
I worked hospice for one year. I had a lady who was in pain the whole time we had her (a few days maybe?) We did all we could to help, poor thing. Just constant pain. I was caring for her when she passed away, and she had the biggest smile on her face❤ I don't mean like, it was the end and she knew it was over. I mean, she died and her face rested in a smile. I'll never forget that😇
Thank You I needed to see this,being my parents main caregiver whilst I myself am recovering from surgery,I feel defeated and lost but my mother,God bless her heart,is a wonderful amazing christian woman,my father also a believer but he is afraid to die,he's 86,I love them dearly,I'm a babe coming from a RC background then being agnostic for a bit lost my fav aunt last year and decided to change my ways and turn to Jesus,I'm still learning,making mistakes but true christians really do emit a different peace
2:59 6. How He "Slays in the Spirit": you are 1000000% correct Mike. That is EXACTLY how it works. I grew up in the Word of Faith/Benny Hinn/Kenneth Copeland/NAR/Hyper charismatic movement and not only did we go to a charismatic church, my parents also took me to at least one "camp meeting" with a Benny Hinn style speaker with the whole slain in the Spirit thing. The atmosphere was electric, everyone was feeding of of each other's emotional highs, and as the guys in black suits went down the rows slaying and catching and they slayed, two things happened to me at once. First, I WANTED to get slain in the Spirit. Two, I felt this weird tingly energy running through my body and I started swaying as the slay guy came up to me and did a spiritual finger wave inches away from my forehead. I went down. Because I wanted to even though as I did, I knew it was fake. But I decided to believe it was real. You literally just explained what I knew all along about my experience. You are absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to hypothesize this and share your theory. It's true. Thankfully I came out of that garbage later on as an older teenager. Even so I appreciate this video and I wanted to offer my two cents as someone who's been there, done that.
So grateful for this. My grandmother was a follower of BH. She was a woman of God but was deceived. In my years of youth, I am now 52, my church and all around me followed him. I was never impressed, even as the charismatic I was and still am. I did not see the need for his shananigans and any preacher who places eyes on himself instead of God. So sad what this does for charismatics and the kingdom. Btw, I 've matured in my chatismatic ways and I believe my beliefs and yours align. A lot of preachers out there, charismatic or not, actually make me gag and so sad for all being deceived. We should NEVER follow man. I test all you say Mike, and thus far agree with 99.9%...I am very thankful for your ministry.
Love to hear that Christians can disagree on non salvation issues and agree as brothers in the salvation issues. This is what our God wants. He will clear up the other issues when we get there.
Exactly my experience she loved Jesus and was very devout but even at five years old and she watched him and I was like Grammie this guy is weird 😳 something is up from the bible you read to me. My child like understanding of Jesus was enough to see deceit. God is thee only Holy one. None is good not one. So...
I’m a retired registered nurse and many times terminal patients will wake up and fill more energetic and have a sense of well being then turn back to pain and feeling lethargic before passing away. The young man clearly had ascites and his feet were so swollen. My sister has stage 4 lung cancer and Mets to the brain, she had over 40 tumors all the way to her brain stem. We whole heartedly believe she was divinely healed by the Lord but she still follows her Physicians orders and takes her chemo. God healed her it has been 10 years now which is mind blowing even her Physician are in wonder but it doesn’t mean that it won’t ever come back. God has plans for this loving woman of God. She is a mighty prayer warrior for others. Thank you Jesus.
@@heyyou9839 I stated that she follows her Physicians orders which clearly does not put them “in the back” as you put it. Sorry I didn’t make it more clear, we love appreciate all her Doctors and all that they do. God bless.
My aunt did that 👆🏼. She had breast cancer and many tumors. She was bedridden, lethargic, moaning in pain. Then suddenly she sat up. Visited with her husband, then my mom, and her kids. She then felt tired again, layed back down and passed away. Amazing to witness yet extremely sad. 😢
My husband and I are French. Unfortunately Christians in France don't speak English and when you see a video of Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer or someone else, everyone thinks they are good Christians and no one does real research on the doctrines that they teach. We are lucky to speak English (even if it's not perfect) and to be very curious about what is happening in the world among Christians. In recent years we have become aware of all these false teachings and we have seen that due to lack of knowledge and wisdom, they have spread in the churches in France. A few months ago we left our church because our pastor began twisting the scriptures 3 years ago. He only talks about healing and miracles. Jesus is no longer at the center. The only person of the Trinity he speaks of is the Holy Spirit, Jesus is only there when we sing (and not always) and God the Father no longer exists in these messages. He no longer preaches the gospel and even less repentance. Before being our pastor, he was a friend. We made an appointment with him to speak to him directly about our concerns. He denied everything and just said "that's your impression but it's not true". We warned him about the people he was inspired by but he didn't want to listen to us. Shortly afterward, one Sunday at church, he spoke about all the points we had discussed with him and said that people who thought as we did were unbelievers, tools of the enemy. It was at that moment that we understood that our place was no longer in this church. He completely transformed the church, adding music and lights to create an “atmosphere” conducive to miracles. There are no elders in the church anymore, no one to watch over him. It became “his” church. Always the same songs that talk about miracles and healings. And lately people are falling "under the anointing of the Holy Spirit" Several long-time Christians have moved away from the church also because they know the Bible, but there are a lot of new ones and i am scared for them... I remember a "prophecy" there was, the man said he saw our pastor dressed in white like Benny Hinn. We thought it was a false prophecy (because he said a lot of things that weren't biblical) but when I see what's happening, maybe he's becoming a little French Benny Hinn... Watching your video, we didn't expect to see so many points in common between our pastor and him... Thank you for your work. You have been a blessing to us during the difficult times we have gone through. I thank God for the work He is doing through you. I pray that God gives you the strength and wisdom to continue your ministry ! God bless you Mike.
I pray the Christians who you speak of an do not speak English can soon have the computer automatically translate videos. Written text on internet can already be translated to yr language by the computer very easily. one just has to go into settings and turn it on and I then get buttons at bottom of the web browser to choose which language to display the page in. every once in looooong while the computer translation comes up with errors, mostly that is a problem when the translation ends up meaning the opposite of the original, this is usually only a problem with idioms and slang, things like that may not occur as much in writings about Christianity and theology. wolves in sheep's clothing overtook your church. so sorry. 🙏
Praising God for genuine, biblical French believers !! So sorry American Christianity has exported prosperity gospel to the world. Praying for your former church, that the Lord would open eyes and soften hearts
@@drjanitor3747why? Because they’re not part of the “one true church”? Mike Winger wouldn’t be making these several hour videos, if he didn’t care about truth of scripture. Protestants call out other Protestants because we care about genuine faith and biblical teachings.
Benny is the mainstream of the Charismatic movement and it;s sad that we protestants have to make these videos because I don't see you guys policing your own
I was in the choir at a Benny Hinns Night in Colorado in 2003 and when he slayed the choir with his white jacket, I felt nothing and did not fall down as other people around me did fall down. I don't think they really felt it either, but they were in a choir that was supposed to believe in Benny Hinn so they did go down. I felt stupid like there was something wrong with my belief so I sat down too wondering what was wrong with me that I didn't feel God. I thought maybe God was upset with me. Now I know I didn't feel God because God was not there. I haven't listened to him, bethel, or TBN since. God has answered my prayers and no atmosphere other than my sincere prayer asking for God's will to be done in Jesus Holy Name. I give God the glory for my answered prayers. Not any Pastor. Thank you Pastor Mike for your Courage and true love of the Bible, God's word, and Christ Jesus our Lord and Blessed Savior!❤
I had something similar at a Christian camp back when I was a teenager. I was beginning to get cynical about this kind of stuff, so I decided that the next time they did the slaying in the spirit thing I was going to try and stay standing up, on the logic that if it was really God I wouldn't be able to. Well, I did, and the guy made a legitimate effort to push me over, but it didn't work. It became obvious that there is an un-verbalised script for this kind of thing. Everyone knows what is supposed to happen, and so it does. The Holy Spirit wasn't actually doing anything anything of the kind (and why would he? Pushing people over is stupid), yet people were desperate for a touch from God so they went along with it.
Literally went to Jesus conference. Had a blast but then he went up and when he prayed me and my wife(girlfriend at the time) stood there and said I guess we aren’t spiritual enough and just laughed.
@@Nick-s7j1r I’ve been “slayed” before. It’s rare and not as normal as they make it. For context I will literally make my self stand firm as possible. I weigh 250 and squat over 400. So when people do it for show nothing happens except them looking crazy. But the times it’s happened to me it was people minimally touching me and it was if I can describe as not being slayed but overwhelmed by God. I go up for prayer not to be slayed so when it happens I’m presently surprised.
I had the same type of experience and walked away because I thought God didn't love me anymore....... How wrong I was! Btw That church is no more. I pray for the rulers of this world the powers and principalities in high places to repent of their evil. God bless.
Mike, this is a genuinely phenomenal video. As a pastor in a poor area, I have seen firsthand the devastation of the prosperity gospel. It comforts me to know that false teachers like Hinn will one day give an account to God for what they've done. Keep standing firm for the Scriptures and the true Gospel!
Great video: thank you for exposing this! I appreciate it immensely! One of my friends had an ANGELIC, heartbreaking beautiful singing voice and she was invited to sing at a Benny Hinn event. We thought that was SO COOL at the time! Now as adults we realize it was just a tactic to set the stage and environment to control emotions and control the crowd to feel what Hinn wanted them to feel. So deceitful
I attended a Pentecostal Church for a short time , and while there, they came up to "pray" for me and began trying to push me down laying hands on my head. After just a short time, I grabbed the guy's wrist and said "If the Spirit of God isn't slaying me, don't you try it." I was younger then and had a grip like an iron vice from doing construction and oilfield work. He let go and I haven't been in one of those churches since . Hinn needs to truly repent for loving money more than God
@@toddie3910I understand that, they're not doing God's work when they do this kind of stuff. All they did with me, is make me determined to never set foot in one of their churches ever again. Sorry that happened to you friend.
@@leonceboudreauxwolfit definitely made me more determined to know God for myself and not really on these "men of God". I thank God that all of us can come to know him amd walk with him no matter what our backgrounds
@@toddie3910Amen.. absolutely true. Jesus is our ONLY mediator between us and the Father, I've learned that He's sufficient enough. God bless you for not giving up and seeking Him on your own. 👍🏽
I will say I was extremely skeptical, and still am, of Pentecostal churches. However, I've recently been going to a Spanish church with my wife, and they are more or less Pentecostal; i.e., they speak in tongues at times, people get slain in the spirit, etc. They do lay hands on those who come up for prayer. However, they have never forced it on anybody. I've never seen them trying to force people down either. Truly, they feel like family to me and have always made me feel welcome. I guess the point I'm making is not all Pentecostal churches are bad, but there is probably a higher likelihood of Pentecostal churches falling into this trap.
I followed Hinn, Copeland and Dollar for over 10 years because I wanted a better life like they said God would give me. I gave and gave when I had nothing and got nothing. They had me believing that my faith was too weak. Then one day God opened my eyes to the truth of His word and I got out of all of that nonsense. I still live a very paycheck to paycheck life but I live the Lord like never before and went from the faith movement and am now a Baptist following the true gospel. Please those of you who follow these men pray that the Lord will open your eyes to the truth.
My advice to you is do as the Bible says give to the poor because then you are lending to the Lord. I stopped tithing and giving in any church once I read and understood my bible😉
@fergo81Thats not why we worship on Sunday, dearest. I bought into that when I was a baby Christian, too, not even 3 years ago. Keep praying on it and studying about Christ & the Resurrection and you’ll get to the truth of that change before long and it’ll all make much more sense. ❤️
@fergo81 In Acts you will find the first Christians worshiping on the first day of the week. That day is Sunday. Paul makes it clear that you can call any day the Lord's day. He made them all.
The focus should always be on Jesus and they are selling the focus on prosperity which is why so many follow them because they want that life, not God.
I have been to one of Benny Hinn's crusades when he came to the UK in 2000 as I was looking for healing from HIV and my friend from Parkinsons. Needless to say neither of us were healed and I found the whole experience very disturbing. My friend died late last year but I am still going strong as God has sustained me all these years. I thank all the TH-camrs who are calling these people out and I find this video the most informative and hurtful. Any Benny Hinn followers watching this I pray the scales will be lifted from your eyes. The greatest healing God can give us is the healing of our souls. Thank you Mike
I was healed of fourth stage rectal cancer and I didn't need Benny hinn who I consider a false prophet Jesus himself directly healed me and I am still free from cancer healing is real Benny hinn is not
I went to a Benny Hinn's crusade. I was exhausted listening to the same songs over and over. The service was about 4 hours. As a new Christian I believed everything I was told. Benny taught about communion and what he taught made me feel condemned. That night the Lord gave me a dream about the mercy seat and Jesus assured me I was okay. I am not one for visions and dreams, but I am convinced God spoke to me through that dream.
I remember when I was a brand new evangelical Christian I was so excited but you're right I was so susceptible to everything . I didn't know How to discern a good teacher from a bad teacher.. Benny Hinn and ilk like him very much Take advantage of naive and vulnerable people
@guytruth4907 I was not in sin. I did not know my standing with Christ. He said if we took communion unworthily, we could die. He did not emphasize forgiveness but the curse. Jesus makes us worthy. It was the devil trying to make me doubt my slavation. God took care of me. God will not let his children be led astray as long as they choose to walk in the truth.
@pblonrongracie while Mr. Hinn's wording was incorrect, it isn't entirely wrong. The Apostle Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 11 that anyone that takes communion in an "unworthy manner" that they drink judgement upon themselves. This judgement, of course, is the wrath of God we are all destined to experience if it were not for the grace of Christ whose call we have responded to. We are not saved simply because he did the work, but because we believe in the work that he did and we repent of our sin against him. If at the time of that teaching you, as you said, did not know your standing with Christ, then to take communion and proclaim his death would have been to take communion in an unworthy manner. I remind everyone in my church before communion that it is reserved only for those who are repentant and have a saving faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If they aren't sure, they shouldn't take it. We don't get to take communion because Jesus loves us. We take communion to remember and proclaim the truth of what Jesus did to save us. Anyone that knows and trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and is not harboring an unrepentant heart is welcome to come to the table.
My husband passed away last year from complications from covid. Gods gift was having him almost 38 years. Wonderful Christian man. I know will see him again. I miss him so very much. I asked our Pastor to preach salvation at his service as I knew there would be friends and family who needed to know Jesus. It was a beautiful service and way to honor his memory.
I went to a Benny Hinn event in the late 90's. I was appalled that Mr. Hinn made his grand entrance onstage as we were singing the words "how great thou art". He was wearing his white suit and had his arms out as if we were singing about him. It put a bad taste in my mouth. I left the event shortly after and never watched him on television or read any of his books again. I just could not believe his arrogance. Mike, this was very thorough and fair. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Mike feels some sort of way about this. I don't think I've ever seen him noticeably angry. Yet he's still somehow charitable and fair. One of my favorite pastors.
My oldest son passed away in 2016 from brain cancer. I begged and pleaded to God to heal him. God laid on my heart that he would heal my son, but not here on Earth, his healing would come by being taken to heaven. I don't feel God took my son, I think He rescued my son from further suffering. I was angry and hurt deeply, at first, I felt God betrayed me by not healing my son. Now I know he had to rescue my son for my son's own good. My son was fragile, emotionally, and physically. While he was so strong to handle the suffering he went through, it took a toll on him. He was rescued and is safe and free and never has to deal with any more pain or the grief of losing his mom and dad. It makes me angry to see Benny Hinn fake the healing of these people suffering with cancer. Those poor, poor people who have their hope shattered. I learned when my son was dying that hope means the most to those who've lost it. We must be gentle with people going through these types of things and so careful with what we guarantee and promise God will do for them.
I saw these televangelist's on TV as a kid in the 80's. Couple that with marginal Roman Catholic upbringing and it's not surprising that I wrote off religion. By the grace of God, I was saved and born again 3 years ago as a 48 year old man. Mike, your ministry has been a massive blessing to someone who knew virtually nothing when I was saved.
Now Mike PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a teaching on authentic healing. I have been healed twice. Once was during a worship setting. I had already been told that I would need neck surgery. But God did a " chiropractic" move on my neck. I felt heat from the top of my head to the rest of my body. The doctors pronouncement that I would need surgery in two years or less did not happen. Pain was GONE. That was 2012.☺️
Thank you for your excellent exposure on Hinn. I've been a cult researcher for many years. In the early 90's I was researching the 'Vineyard' so called 'revivals' and had a detour to visit one of Hinn's events. I can't say I trusted Hinn. But I knew he was aligned with the others I was researching. You mentioned being 'slain in the spirit.' I certainly didn't go there for this purpose. But at the end of the stage play, Benny blew his anointing around the stadium of thousands. We watched in some apprehension as people fell like dominos around the whole stadium. It started where we were from the front and everyone fell back in their chairs - hard. Including us. I was totally baffled. I'd known the Lord a long time. This was completely foreign to me. It lead to demonic attacks after I returned home. Every time it happened I would pray and the Lord stopped it. I'm not saying this is true about everyone who is 'slain in the spirit.' There could be some where it's humanly manipulated. But this was demonic. I learned more about the final days apostasy when I walked through that door that I ever understood before. I truly had seen, and experienced the beautiful side of evil - with music to control the mind. I still research these cults, but from a distance. I'll never go near this strange fire again.
I grew up thinking this kind of thing was most definitely God. It's been hard admitting that I really don't know God at all. I've had to start all over from the very beginning.
I was present for the Brownsville FL revival event. Extraordinarily different from Hinn and the rest of the crew. Lasting, personal, positive changes in multiple friends' lives. Zero money was promised. In fact, we were all warned that we would be suffering for Christ and be persecuted. I don't recall a single offering accepted across the 4 days I was there. I didn't personally witness a single thing that wasn't congruent with The Word.
I gleaned one useful thing from Hinn - you point out that he repented, then went back to doing the same thing. You showed this pattern 3 times or so. As you pointed it out, I started to think, "Am I any better? Don't I do the same thing?" I have things to work on, and it's humbling to realize I'm no better than he is. Thank you for doing this work, Mike!
Just want to mention one thought. Please check me on this though, since I think I should have some more scripture to back it up: In my understanding there seems to be some sins which are committed in moments of weakness, and others which can only be done with premeditated decision. For example, someone struggling with drugs/alcohol or porn or lying or anger might sin over and over in their struggle and be truly grieved about their failures, truly repent each time, but continue to struggle because it really is difficult to resist those temptations in the moment. This seems different to me than someone who, for example, repents of cheating but goes on to arrange plane tickets in advance so that they can continue to be with people other than their spouse and lying that it was a business trip. That takes many stages of decision, and is not a failure in a moment of temptation. For someone to repent about that and then continue doing it means the repentance wasn't legitimate. But for the first example, someone struggling with a repeated in-the-moment sin, I think the passage applies where Paul complains that "what I want to do I don't, and what I don't want to do I do!". What do you think?
@@brysonorosa632 sin always begins as a thought- and sin is sin, regardless if more thought went into it (as you’ve named, premeditated), or if it was sin chosen in the moment. I think the mark of true repentance is whether or not you’re actually going to war to defeat it. Have you set up accountability? Have you deleted the app leading you to watch pornography? Are you still entering spaces where you’ll be tempted to drink/do drugs? What protections have you put in place to protect yourself- before you reach the moment- where you’ve responded sinfully? There will always be sin we are tempted with in this life. A sign of true repentance and relationship with the Lord, is noticing how that sin affects you. As Christians, we should be grieved by it, knowing it grieves the Father. If we’re not grieved, that should worry us. No matter what the sin.
@brysonorosa632 yes i would agree. As a new christian felt like i would never make it but as you stay trusting in Jesus you do grow spiritually and it gets easier. With Benny Hinn he is influencing loads of people with what he says and he does not apoear to even be trying to be scriptural in his teaching. He is definitely into greed which is idolatory.. he hasnt repented of that..
Reminds me of TDJakes recent statements about his immoral behavior. "Even if I did it all I have to do is repent and go on." Unfortunately these people do nor know what true repentance is.
I was stuck in the "word of faith"/"prosperity gospel" for all of my childhood. There was a time where we were having a "spiritual" prayer night and I was 13 at the time. I coward in the back of our tiny church watching people fall down and was terrified as one of the assistant pastors tried to usher me to come up. I just shook my head. Even at such a young age I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it until God opened my whole family's eyes when I was 19. Thank the Lord for delivering us out of those mindsets.
I saw it was wrong, too. They saw I was not them. They said God did not want me. I am Gods'. Most are fake. Few are real. All my visions from God came to pass and some witnesses. I did not even know the visions were coming. No church site will allow me to show Bible verses. I can't buy or sell online. Nor some stores. I'm stalked. And so much more has happened to me. The Bible tells us in end days. There will be many. Read the full Bible from beginning to end. You'll see the truth. Ask God for truth. “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
I'm confused. Do all Pentecostals teach the prosperity gospel? Or is it that some prosperity preacher are Pentecostals but not all? Or are they a separate thing all together?
@@StringofPearls55 Pentecostalism is a different movement. They do emphasize spiritual gifts, like tongues, miracles and healings but because of preachers like these who misuse Scripture and do these horrible things (a lot of them) who do have Pentecostal leanings, Pentecostals get a bad reputation because of them. So they are different, not all Pentecostals preach the prosperity gospel, but sadly quite a lot of famous Pentecostal pastors do. There are definitely some Pentecostals who abhor the prosperity gospel and call it out though. Hope that cleared it up a bit!
I thought he was actually a healer until I personally attended one of his prayers in Europe , when I noticed that those that he was healing were his actors. He asked people to close eyes to pray but I immediately opened my eyes to see what was going on, I was curious and that was when I noticed the trick that made me go home unhappy . Him and his people working with him had eyes open communicating with eye signals and then he looked around the whole hall and nodded to his workers like saying we got the fools😢😢😢 it was a sad moment for me, then his eyes and mine met and he noticed I watching what was going on. I tried going forward to be prayed for but he gave a signal to push me far back behind twice and that explained alot to me and then believed the warning from a friend that it was all lies a source of money making thing.😢
I have always known Benny Hinn was a false teacher and a false prophet. I am happy to see a real Christian pastor with influence call him out. This is the best piece on Benny the fraud Hinn since the book, "The Confusing World of Benny Hinn came out." Thank you Brother Winger.
The "real Christian pastor" who has no faith in God power who does not in believe in a 6 day creation. If Mike can't get in the beginning right I don't think he has faith of God being able to do much.
@@tiffanysantaYes, he does. This is just slander. There’d be a huge outcry and many more “exposure of Winger” if he taught otherwise. Don’t take people’s word for things.
Benny Hinn was one of those charlatan televangelists that allowed me to dismiss the Truth for way too long in life. I felt it was so obvious that if God allowed such people to prosper on His behalf, He must be complicit with those actions or powerless to stop it. Im sure some people have found Jesus thru Benny but many more have been pushed away, I was fortunate enough to come back.
He did give a lot of ppl in the 90s false hope in miracles and also broke a lot of people with his lies. Imagine really being chronically ill, and the just not getting better, and wondering why God is letting this happen to you but healing other people through Bennie. Its a horrible position to be in by a deceiver like him.
Agreed! I was raised a Jehovahs witness. When I was 14, I was kind of questioning my faith. A friend secretly took me to her church. Everyone was screaming in tongues, rolling around the floor, crying and laughing. It terrified me. Thankfully, Jesus pulled me out of the JW cult, but it took a very long time. Every time I'd start to question, I'd picture that church, and that stopped me. They are doing very real damage. The funniest thing is God called me back to that same church, and I told Him, "You are kidding, right??" Turned out the church split a few years after I was there specifically over the charasmatic abuse. They are really amazing now ❤ God is so good!
It's in Deuteronomy 13:1-3 [1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.] He (God) does "it" to prove you. vs. what you say in: "I felt it was so obvious that if God allowed such people to prosper on His behalf, He must be complicit with those actions or powerless to stop it." It's sin. Has sin in it: ---- ---- ---- ---- It's God that determined, alone: by himself, what he chose "...to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness..." (Daniel 9:24) - is Jesus Christ. Didn't choose me, or you, or Benny Hinn. Chose his own Word would be what he determined to God, and God do a work with sin only he can do... ...and already did it in Jesus Christ. It's in none else. THEN: This, "who do you look unto?" When he says, "Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - God. Isaiah 45:22 Am I looking unto Benny Hinn? "Who" asked me to look unto Benny Hinn? Where if I just regard the works of the Lord, and consider the operation of his hands vs. my own, or others, including anyone, even this Benny Hinn: It's a "work" like, a "distraction" to get you to "look unto" it, like a side show vs. God. Regard Benny Hinn's works more. God. By his Word, "He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding." (Jeremiah 51:15) He's the one you, me, everybody to the very ends of the earth publicly himself, not willing any perish but all come to repentance, asked EVERYBODY to look unto him. God said, "Look unto me," then ..why am I looking unto Benny Hinn? God..., and he speaks. By his Word. These are his Words. Not mine, so in 50 days, or 500 even 5 years. or 50 billion....even into eternity, his Word is still his and will be the same. It will not pass away. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. So, it's God that says what he wants to utter, by his Word in Matthew 24:24 " For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." I know him by his Word. I know Benny Hinn by his Word. It's in this 4hr video, what Benny Hinn has, for decades, openly and publicly said, by his Word. It's his own dreamer's dreams he's prophesied of himself. Then, Claims it's God said. The Word of Benny Hinn has lies in it. When God speaks, doesn't have any lies in it. Not the same.
As someone who was brainwashed in this false doctrine for a time and lost my Mom to cancer this year, I feel your anger, Mike. I’m STILL trying to undo the damage done by this garbage, which is how I found your channel. Thank you for being a solid teacher.
I think channels like The Messed up Church, LongforTruth1, Fighting for the Faith, Daniel C, and Justin Peters Ministries will help you out alot. Check them out when you have time.
Thank you for reminding me. I gave a thousand dollars to Benny Hinn's ministry when we were stuck in an apartment and we wanted a house. We had nothing in our savings account. We were given everything we needed to buy this house and it's much better than I could have hoped for. 🕊️
Your grief over this apostasy is moving...I was caught up in these teachings from 1994 until around 2014. It has been a difficult road to deprogram my walk with the Lord through His Word. Truly washing in the Word. Your teachings have been invaluable in this process. Thank you.
@johnpeters9777 Shame is how the enemy keeps you bound to your past. Repent for leading others astray, repent for the prayers you prayed, and rejoice that you have been set free. Make amends to those you can find and pray for those that used you. Blessings my friend.
Just watched the section on 'healing' and the various cancer victims. In just under 2 weeks, we celebrate the 'graduation to glory' of my son. He had a rare, terminal cancer where, in the end, the tumors attached to his pancreas. In his last hours he confidently confirmed his faith in God (he was a believer throughout his life). The last moments of his life were the WORST moments in mine. Twenty five years later - the memory of his passing still brings tears to my eyes... he is in glory and I am happy for his rest. For this con man to give false hope to people with these conditions and situations - I join you in your 'righteous indignation' Mike.
In 1988 or 1989 I first saw TBN, I had been saved already. At some point, I got a book by Benny Hinn, as my heart has always been to see the sick healed. I was reading and he said in the book, which, I don't have any longer, nor do I remember the name of it, he wrote, that he got up, he was so excited, he ran out of the house, and he ran so fast the Holy Spirit had to chase him. I was like what??? We are to follow Jesus; The Holy Spirit leads us. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. May the people that don't see this video, may our Lord open eyes to see the slightest change in what the word actually says and keep reading the Bible first. thank you, Mike! I've been out of work because I'm waiting for a surgery, and spending time listening to some great teaching you have brought forth. Please pray for my healing and recovery.
My mom died just a couple of weeks after attending a Benny Hinn crusade back in 2002. I wasn't sure how I felt about it back then, but I knew I had to step back and trust that God would reveal the truth. Within a couple of years, I went through a time of grieving over not only the lies of Benny Hinn, but all of those charlatans that I used to listen to. I believe my mom really did recognize her need for a a savior and truly repented for her sin, and I look forward to the day when I see my Savior face to face and am reconciled with the woman I was blessed to call Mom for 33 years.
@@tonya1498 unlike the false prophets and apostles, we have today the prophets in the bible never ever gave one single fake prophecy but 2day you see prophets giving fake prophecies and their members defending them, and the apostles of the Bible never failed to heal anyone be it a believer or not unlike the so called apostles we see 2day. Think on this.
@@tonya1498 I think the point being made is that she came to Christ, even through the sludge of lies and evil, so it's Good News in that Coach will see Mom again. I don't think any point is being made to blame her death on the Hinnster.
@@netwrench6570 She defaming Benny for something not in Benny's control. There is a man in the comments defaming Benny that actually got healed in Benny meeting. So this is nothing more than a bunch of disgruntle christians looking for an outlet.
I’m with you Mike, I spent 10 years in a Word of Faith church. I have also been in hyper-charismatic circles for many years. I’m so tired not only of Copeland and Hinn and their snake oil. But they have produced multitudes of disciples who proclaim their false gospel. Not to mention the victims of their heresy, many whom have abandoned the faith altogether. I want deeply to see works of the Spirit in the church today, THIS isn’t it!
It's so hard to find a church not tainted by the NAR, hyper charismatic, and or word of faith... or the other extreme of Ceasationalism, super religious, saved by works nonsense or some strange blend of the two oh and can't forget the witch doctors and the cults and witches and new age that's made it's way in to the churches where i live... its so frustrating
I went to a charismatic church and they had him come to raise money for the church I attended. Benny Hinn said many things that were unscriptual. I don't believe pushing people down is correct. I have been slain in the spirit once and no one touched me or even prayed for me. I was standing in a worship meeting and apparently went down on the spirit and I opened my eyes and I was on the floor. A lady next to me asked if I was ok because she said I hit the chair and floor hard. I felt nothing and was not hurt or bruised at all. It has never happened again.
My wife was in Ghana 1993 to 1995 as a short-term missionary. She said the missionaries told her Hinn was there not long before she got there. He had to escape for his life. People came to him having spent about a year's salary to bring their loved ones to him to heal. At that time travel still wasn't easy and was costly and a long journey north country to the south part of the country and vice versa. The missionaries said there was a mob after Hinn when they realized he wasn't healing people. We think this may be the trip where he claimed a man raised from the dead. Thank you for exposing the tricks of the trade and the fraud he commits.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing, Mike. I used to believe that Hinn was a man of God but, after much research and Bible study, I realised that he definitely is not. Thanks be to God for this video!
I'm watching with righteous anger and am weeping also because my mom also died of pancreatic cancer last November. Yet, I will pray for your work to be heard and seen, but I also will pray for Benny Hinn's true repentance before He stands to be accountable to God Almighty. God bless you Mike!!!
💙🙏🏼💙 I'm so sorry about your mom my mom is also passed and I miss her very much these words are a Comfort to me absent from the body present with the Lord
I remember hearing Joni Tada saying she went to a Benny Hinn event. She told of how she saw people in wheelchairs getting "healed" on stage. She also said that none of those people came from the wheelchair section and everyone in the wheelchair section went home in a wheelchair.
One thing people forget is that not all people in wheelchairs are paralyzed. Often times, zero context of the healing for videos that do go out there. I have received miraculously healing in my life. It is not meant to be a viral thing. It is really meant to impact the lives of those who know the person who is healed since they know the history and context.
@@JillCeeTo be in the wheelchair section all you need is a wheelchair; you don't have to be paralyzed. So there were people in the wheelchair section who weren't paralyzed. So people who were NOT in the wheelchair section materialized from the back. OP is showing how Hinn was an intentional liar and manipulator. People in wheelchairs generally sit in the accessible areas. People in wheelchairs don't often stay away from the service or sit in inaccessible areas because they're in wheelchairs. God can and does heal miraculously--Hinn did not. Those people were plants like snake oil salesmen's slaves.
I can verify this comment, seen it myself at two separate “crusades” in the early 2000’s. I remember sitting upstairs looking down at the stage, watching people in wheelchairs and leaving in same wheelchairs when they went home and really feeling for them.
I came out of the prosperity gospel here in Sweden. I joined a congregation that invites a lot of prosperityteachers and one of them was Benny Hinns brother: Henry Hinn. He spoke out a curse over the audience, saying if they didnt gave an offer to the pastors vacation they would be cursed. I was in this church many years, chasing for inner healing but by Gods grace i got out of it. God Bless you Mike and those watching this video, from Sweden.
I pray this video goes far and wide and has MAJOR impact and hopefully even starts to topple the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel. This is incredibly important work that Winger, Steve Kozar, Chris Roseborough, Justin Peters, Daniel Long, Costi Hinn and many others are doing. I also hope that many others in the hyper-charismatic/continuationist camps can plainly see through this video why those in reformed/cessationist camps get extremely passionate about these false movements and heretical teachings. It absolutely devastates peoples faith and has major impact on unbelievers believing in Christ. Let's get both camps to come together (those that agree on the essentials) and fight against these false apostles, prophets and teachers for the GLORY OF GOD! Bad theology hurts people. YAHWEH IS KING.
This breaks my heart because I think of my own children. All souls are mine says the Lord. These teachings could prevent souls from ever being reunited with Christ because they are false & scary.
Although we shouldn’t conflate charismatics with evil or Hinn, it is true that some charismatic churches veer off into unbiblical practices in the name of “following the Spirit.”
I’ve never thought for a second he’d repented. In my younger years, he amused me. Pushing 70, he greatly angers me. By this time of life, we’ve met and spoken with folks who’ve (out of desperation) fallen prey to this 💩. He’s eternally dangerous. I thought I’d end up splitting this 4+ hour video up, but I had to see it thru. This took a lot of work. It’s much appreciated. My hope is that those who may be following him now will watch this and the Spirit will help them see this man for what he is. I’d never considered his victims being props. That bothers me the most…💔
20 odd years ago I used to sit alone in the living room (the program was only on during the midnight hours) and watch Bennie Hinn heal people - and cry to the Lord and ask - why them and not me? If I could pay him electronically back then I think I would have. I was so desperate. I have such a different understanding of illness and of healing now. Thank God I was not "healed" and disappointed and broken. He not only caused damage to the people he toyed with. But also caused immense anguish to so many that "did not receive healing". I cannot tell you how many times I sat there alone in my living room. With Benny and also Paula White. Thank You Lord for ratification. Thank you Lord for the answer - 20 0dd years down the line. Thank you Mike. From South Africa.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. My sister did too. She couldn't understand why she couldn't be healed even after traveling to one of his healing crusades. She believed that God was intentionally causing her to suffer, but she didn't know why. That's the legacy these liars leave the hopeful who don't get healed. In face they will blame it on the person saying "You didn't have enough faith" May God bless you and my sister.
Dear Brother, God wants is to be with other believers! A TV or a device cannot so that. We are to be under authority of an elder in a local body! I pray God leads you to a wonderful moving body of believers!
I still don’t know how Jesus and the Apostles healed anyone without the following: 1. Mood music 2. Crowds falling down in the Spirit 3. “Catchers” standing behind people 4. Healing services 5. Crowds who are worked up into a mood with music, song, worship, and a long setup sermon 6. A professional sound system complete with microphones
Many years ago when I was a brand new Christian, I had as many positive Benny Hinn experiences as you can imagine minus being actually healed. I read his book and was blown away by it. I went to a crusade. He prayed for me, and I flew across the stage. To This day I don’t really know how to match that up with how disgusting these teachings are. But you know what? It doesn’t matter the word of God over experiences. All day every day no matter what. Thank you, Pastor Mike. You’re doing a great job you’re appreciated by many, including this still, charismatic guy who is so unbelievably ashamed that I ever viewed Benny through the lens I used to. What a gracious and patient God that as long as we don’t let go of his word, he gives us time to see our foolishness.
Just know that Satan is capable of false signs and wonders and anybody can be deceived by the wolves. Study the Word of God for yourself, so you won't fall for the heresy. And an "experience" can come from Satan such as shaking, falling down, speaking in tongues, writhing around on floor, hysterical laughter and even supposed HEALINGS. Check out Andrew Strom's video on Kundalini Awakening
@@truthalonegirl Yeah I hear ya. Thankfully this was many years ago. The Word of God is the only trustworthy foundation I wouldn’t go anywhere near a BH crusade now.
Ironically it was Benny Hinn's attack on this exposé that brought me here. May this video spread throughout the world. Thanks Mike. Praying for you, brother.
If the love of God was truly in you why shouldn't you pray for Benny Hinn. Remember like any other human being he might have started off well but lost his way In words of wisdom not forgetting the story of when Mirian was struck by leprosy due to rebuking Moses. Remember touch not my anointed form ( Psalms 105:15). Let the lord deal with him and not you if you don't want judgment from God. Moses who was a servant of God was a man full of imperfections eg anger issues but despite all this God did not spare his judgment upon Miriam when she tried to speak against him. (Numbers 12:2).
@@Sightandmind Psalms 105:15 is a scripture misused by some preachers to insulate them from scrutiny. However, the context of this is the miraculous history of Israel where God had a plan for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriachs of Israel, that even when they were few, God allowed no one to oppress them (1 Chron 16:19-21). This is not quoted in the New Testament. Jesus himself rebuked the Pharisees and Teachers of the law for their hypocrisy. These spiritual leaders were called out for they compromised God's word. The New Testament has so many passages to test the spirits and not to believe every spirit (This doesn't match the 'touch not my annointed' that is used out of context by preachers who don't want scrutiny now does it?). You cannot blindly follow a prophet or teacher of God just because they claim to be. That isn't what the bible tells us. Paul rebuked Peter publicly in Gal 2:13, and this was not really false teaching, just his actions dividing the church, and this allowed Peter to repent and avoid leading others astray. Paul also calls out real false teachers, Hymenaeus and Philetus, by name, for their false teaching that the resurrection had happened already, because it was so serious and was spreading like 'gangrene', destroying the faith of some 2 Tim 2:15-18. So many warnings to beware of false teachers. Don't let any person using Psalms 105:15/1 Chron 16:22 out of context stop you from following the many Scriptures warning you to beware of false teachers and telling you to test the spirits. Paul commended the Bereans for checking if what he said matched scripture. If Paul was open to scrutiny, why will others not be if they know they are backed by the truth of the Word?
Mike, the girl I love told me that her church sent her home with a book written by Benny Hinn just a few days ago. Thank you for this long form video. I feel that God may have used you to bless us at the right time ❤
I was born in 82 so I was between 8 and 18 during the 90s. Not once during that entire time did I not catch Benny hinn while flipping through the channels and not instantly get the feeling he was not a good person. It amazed me that grown adults followed him. Now I'm 41 and I didn't even realize he was even still around that's how much I've ever cared about anything he was doing.
Yeah I never heard of him until like, this past month to be honest. But I am shocked that he was allowed to get away with so much for so many years. Its shameful.
I just want to say that there's a guy I grew up with, much loved by everyone who knows him, he's my oldest brother's age and he was diagnosed with cancer at around age 29 and the men in our church said "we should pray for him but no one should pray if they do not have faith" and they laid hands on him and prayed and the next time he went to the doctor they said there was no cancer. A truly believe in this one and we are not a "word of Faith" Church
Yeah but see, Mike doesn't deny that things like that happen. Neither do I, I go to a small Charismatic church and we have multiple testimonies of miraculous healings. But when someone like Benny lies about healing for money, he deserves to be called out.
I grew up in church circles where if Benny Hinn was ever mentioned it was usually in jest, because "everyone" knows how crazy and weird he is, and that he shouldn't be followed. But I had only seen tiny snippets at most. It was shocking to see how well documented his demented and cruel practices are. Going through stuff like this in-depth is rough, but so important. Appreciate the content.
My sister and I were supposedly healed of a lifelong disease at a Benny Hinn crusade in Flint Michigan back in 91 or 92. We were 20 and 21, I’m 53 now, still not healed whatsoever. It hurt our faith because we thought we must not believe enough. We believed so hard. It hurt my Dads faith for the same reason. It happened again at a Morris Cerillo crusade; not healed after being told we were. It’s so cruel to do this to people. Edit: I’m a a Christian even now and my faith in Jesus’ healing power still strong. It has not changed my belief in His power, I just stopped putting so thought into being healed. I believe He can, and if He does it, great. I’m just more concerned about a relationship with Jesus. Edit: I wanna clarify, when I say it hurt my faith, I don’t mean my faith in God. I mean it affected me because I felt my faith must not have been good enough or strong enough.
My husband and I went to a special event one night at a church. They said there was this amazing faith healer in town, and a bunch of my friends were going. I wasn't sure how I felt, but I thought I'd give it a try. This man starts running back and forth, swinging his coat, etc. People are falling all around me, and I just stood there in shock. He noticed. So he ran up to me and literally Smacked Me In The Forhead! 😂 I looked at my husband and said, "He just hit me. Why did he hit me?" I started laughing, and then everyone was staring. The guy was getting irritated. He tried it AGAIN! Then i was laughing so hard I was nearly in tears. He didn't smack me hard. It was just so strange. Now, my husband and I were both laughing because he had smacked me twice. This man looked so very upset. So we respectfully left. We laughed all night about it. It felt so ridiculous. He never even spoke a single Bible verse. Just talked about how God gave him so much money yada yada. Now it's an inside joke between my husband and I
I’m surprised he didn’t use your laughing to his advantage. Saying, look people she is filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. See the joy in her laughing out loud
I watched this full video TWICE already. It hit home. I went through all the motions. Laugh, cry, anger, pity, sadness. I have lost relationships and will lose more when they realize I denounce Benny Hinns ministry. We can reject anyone but not Hinn. My spouse's family are friends and recently became an annual conference host of the Hinns. You are correct about the followers. Even if people are not covetous and narcissistic, this doctrin will break them down and build them back up to be just like abusive leaders. Thank God for saving me out of this. I didn't understand why my mom grieved like she was loosing us until after I left WOF. It was like breaking out of a spell! I was in it from age 18 to my early 30s. It feels like I'm just now starting to actually live my life.
I loved Ps Benny for many years. Have not watched much of him over last 10-15 years. This video is a giant eye 👁️ opener. Scary. I thought he’d genuinely repented. Guess not. These videos are important. So thank you.
I’m so glad this video is still up. I have very personal experience with Benny Hinn’s corporate office and definitely with his CEO/CFO. My dad was head security at his headquarters in Grapevine, Tx. I was his CEO’s nanny/housekeeper. I saw things you don’t even want to know. I was also abused. I worked for them for 5 months, it felt like 5 years. My dad was wrongfully fired because I fell down the CEO’s stairs at his home while I was working. It was an answer to prayer for me, but what they did to my dad because of it was so wrong. My dad and another employee got the FBI involved, but I’m sure BH paid them off. Nothing happened. They definitely came out, but nothing came from it. I would love to put a video out about everything that I saw, what they did to me and my dad. Please, if anyone still believes and follows Benny Hinn, STOP! Please. Someone I know who has since died had all the evidence against him. All of it. My dad had some, passed it to him and he got even more. Hopefully after this, the FBI will do something. You can interview my dad and I anytime. 😆
I'm so sorry you went through that. I know that all his evil will be exposed fully. Jesus will reveal all. I will pray for you and your family. 1 Corinthians 3:13 "their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work."
I agree with you, I have personal experience with this man. I once drove for him at the National Women's Aglow conference in San Antonio in the 80's. He was extremely rude and after listening and trying to talk to him. and he completely ignored me, I gave up. He didn't exhibit a christian demeanor at all. I witnessed him disrespecting his wife also. Discernment came quickly for me, I never trusted this guy after that experience. You know a charleton when you see one. God speaks to your spirit. Funny now almost 40 years later I see your video...didn't know anything about it! Good job.
I’ve been in Aglow in Central Texas for many years. Are you still part of Aglow? I love the ladies but am sometimes concerned about some of the speakers chosen because they have the same mindset as Benny Hinn… sometimes we are too accepting of unbiblical teachings.
Spot on about asking an elderly woman with low finances, Mike. Hinn should be taking up a collection for her. Great video. I used to be a JW and I can see a false teacher from a mile away. As soon as I saw him swing his jacket, and people falling, I knew it was not from God. Thanks for exposing the wolf.
Not only did I learn a lot more about Benny Hinn in this video but I also saw how a man fights back his personal anger and keep a righteous anger while steady continuing with the recording... video was a blessing
The damage Benny Hinn has done in my own family is incalculable. Multiply that by many hundreds of thousands and I weep for the brokenness and horror he has left behind.
I'm sooo sorry, I am praying that God heals your family all from that traumatic experience💔❤ These lying serpents need to be brought down and it is my prayer that victims will seek to publicly share their stories on platforms because people need to see that real lives were harmed by this man. That these stories are true and the victims matter❤
I have a rule: if the alleged preacher has private jets and designer clothes, he's spending too much on his own comfort for me to donate in good conscious. Obviously money is fungible, but while $1000 would cover my family's groceries for a month, it wouldn't even cover one of his suits. Even if his theology was sound, I'd never give him a cent; instead, I would give to missionaries reaching unreached people groups or my local church. Even if he hadn't been exposed in the end, I never would have given money to Ravi Zacharias because apparently he could afford to pay massage therapists a Louis Viton wallet + $500. What _couldn't_ his actual ministry had done if he'd cut his salary by 50 or 75%?
This video is SO disturbing on SO many levels!! Your righteous anger is completely justified! I feel sick watching this. Literally. I have chronic pain, and seeing how he assaulted these poor people is disturbing and appalling!! I've never followed Benny myself as I have always thought he was cringy. But I'm sad for some friends of mine who followed him in the 90's. We have lost touch over the years, so I don't know if they still do or not. Regardless, I pray for ALL who follow this wolf. If Benny was truly concerned for his own soul, he would absolutely repent. I definitely don't see it. BUT with God, all things are possible, so I will continue to pray for the repentance of ALL false teachers and those who exploit the flock. They absolutely need to be exposed! 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for your time and dedication, Mike! I'm fairly new to your channel and appreciate the work you are doing. I followed WOF teachings for many years. I am grateful to God for showing me the TRUTH. Post edit: I forgot to mention that I appreciate you covering the "slay in the spirit " thing. I've always been curious about that. Now it makes sense, at least as it applies to Benny Hinn.
I know this video came out 9 months ago, but thank you, Mike for dedicating time to call this man out. It's certainly sad, and anger inducing, to watch how he treats his fellow human beings. At one point a man appeared to be seizing (after having been "slain in the spirit") and while it's entirely possible he was merely a willing participant in the hypnotic effect that was created, it's still terrifying to think that he was actually in physical danger. I also noticed a lady on the floor at 4:14:57. Bottom right corner. She's not moving. Everyone else is in their seats, and she's just curled up. And Benny just keeps talking. Maybe she's fine, maybe she got tired from sitting in her seat. God only knows what really happened to her. All I know is that in a normal church, someone would check on her to ensure her safety. Just a couple of observations. I'm glad that I was finally able to watch this video! I hope that Mike was able to enjoy lots of cuddles with his cat Moxie after he finished this video! Also, here's all the thumbs up I wish I could give this video: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My mom passed last year February of urinary cancer and it was horrible. Just know Mike that I’m praying for you and as a son who lost his mother to cancer too, your rage is shared. Praying for you Mike.
@@JessPryce1No, absolutely not, Mike is very hesitant to even call anyone a false teacher. He is really feeling this one - I get it, I'm not even halfway through and my heart is broken for all the victims of this *very* false teacher/false prophet...💔
"This video is incredible! I wish I'd seen it years ago. I grew up in the church, and it's amazing to hear these insights confirmed. As someone with a recovery channel, I know how much work goes into this kind of research. Thank you for sharing this powerful message - it's truly helping people!"
Hello Pastor Winger/Mike Winger. My mother just found out that her father, (my grandfather) has gotten cancer. I don't what type of cancer it is, but it is not contained. Not only does he have cancer, but he is also a Black Hebrew Israelite believer. Please, although you may not see this, please pray for his salvation and for him to overcome his cancer.
I took a bus to see Benny Hinn in Long Island for a Good Friday service years ago. God had led me to a chapter in Exodus weeks before. I also had been having headaches for months before I went. I was sitting in the auditorium and the smell of vinegar was so strong I could hardly stand it. I looked all around me to see if anyone had vinegar or pickled food. The woman next to me,in front of me couldn’t smell any vinegar. Benny got up and talked about Jesus on the cross being offered vinegar. Then he said he changed his message and that God had led him to a chapter in Exodus. It was the same chapter God led me to. Something happened to me and I got very, very tired as soon as I got back on the bus. I couldn’t stay awake. There was an overturned bus on the road and I could barely open my eyes to look at the cops and ambulances. The lady next to me asked me if I was ok. I mumbled yes, I’m just so tired.i never had another headache after that day. I think God healed the headaches.
This video is dedicated to the victims of Benny Hinn.
Benny Hinn is a very bad man. It's past time everyone knew it.

I'm grateful for the people who have worked hard to expose Benny Hinn, especially Justin Peters, Costi Hinn, and Steven Kozar.
My website BibleThinker.org
Do I dare read comments or are Benny Hinn defenders coming in hot lol.
Money money 💰 You will get more than $1000 from this video
His voice sounds creepy when he says he is cursing anyone who is against him. 😮
Amazing. Thanks Mike!
Thanks for giving credit to Steven Kozar. His work on exposing heretical false teachers has been very appreciated. His channel is The Messed Up Church.
Mike, I lost it with the little girl with cancer. I feel your anger and it is definitely righteous anger. As the mom of two terminally ill children, this breaks my heart and I found myself bawling. Then you opened the bible and read about biblical suffering and our ultimate resting place! Now I am crying tears of joy and not of anger and sadness. Thank you for doing what you do. One of my terminal sons watches all of your videos and is truly blessed by your ministry
I said a prayer for you and your two children. 😔🙏🏻 I cannot imagine how painful this must be.
Please tell your family I said hi and God bless you all. :)
Prayers for you and your children tonight.
I am in awe of your courage and trust in Christ in the midst of such struggle. To God be the Glory. Your family is a miracle.
❤️❤️❤️🫂✝️
Man says he has a comprehensive video on Benny Hinn, posts a 4 hour video. My man delivers
I think I was initially shocked, but then immediately underwhelmed in light of some of the other videos Mike has made. Lol!
Still huge, though. But is it huge enough?
I'm glad Mike did all the hard work. It's much appreciated.
Are you new here?? This is Mike Winger for you! He’s going to study and comeback💪🏼
Wow! He delivers with much but doesn't add filler!
I know! I'm 30 mins in so not a dent... so checked the time and almost choaked on my own spit 😅 but I do appreciate Mike's careful attention to detail.
At this point, if Mike releases anything shorter than 3 hours in length, I'm just gonna assume he wasn't trying that week.
Clarification: I absolutely love it. My workout listens are sorted for the next few days!
😂😂😂 you may be on to something
Amen!
😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣 Too funny.
My mom had cancer she would watch Benny Hinn believing God would heal her. Her hospice nurse told her sometimes God heals us in his presence. That gave my mom so much peace she was no longer afraid of dying. And in her passing the Presence of God was so strong in her hospital room that the nurses felt it and told us we felt something beautiful and warm in her your mom’s room. We stayed with my mom in her room and we played Christian music and in her coma she would lift her hands praising God. I know that many of you would say she wasn’t in a coma if she lifting he hands. My Bible says even the rocks cry out.
Am a nurse married to a doctor - its 100% believable that your mum was in a coma…that she heard the music & responded❤
Wow incredible testimony 💖🐑👑
As an atheist, I deeply appreciate Christians who take the time to call out the obvious hypocrisy and flagrant predatory behavior of these religious leaders. Thanks Mike.
They are charlatans! Please just investigate the word of God not man…any man❤
True Christians are even more disgusted by these people than atheists are! In my opinion, atheists- even immoral ones- are usually thousands of times better than a “believer” who lies in the name of God and dishonors His name!
As a christian myself, please know that a lot of what you see and hear being done in the name of religion, in the name of Christ, doesn't line up with what the Bible actually teaches, especially in mainstream mega churches. So much twisting of scripture and deception going on and getting worse all the time.
I’m Jewish and I totally agree with you. I get very turned off by predatory religious leaders who do evil in the name of G-d. In the third saying of Sinai G-d said that we may not carry his name in vain which means to do evil in his name. G-d even said that he will not acquit the ones who do such things
I pray you ask, seek, knock in earnest, my friend. Please do not give up searching for the Truth. God is real, and I hope and pray you have an encounter with Him soon. God bless you ❤
Mike, thank you for taking the time to do such a thorough video. We've watched some of this for homeschool today and my girls asked a lot of *great* questions.
❤
I Love that you homeschool! I love watching your videos too! And this makes me love you even more! ❤️
Elite mothering skills
Nice to meet you here Melissa! God bless you and your ministry.
I wish I could watch TH-cam when I was homeschooled!!!
I grew up in a church whose pastor played the keyboard for Kenneth Copeland. Bennys daughter would come to our youth group some times. No surprise I became an atheist at 15, and almost 20 years later after causing more pain to the people I love than I can comprehend due to addiction and lust I finally surrendered and called out to God. Now I’m realizing how I was essentially raised in a cult. Every day I have to work on surrendering to Jesus and letting him guide my life, and to not hold resentments towards the adults who failed me as a child. I trust you Lord that you will sanctify me, that you will give me the strength to overcome my temptations and be a servant of your will.
Amen!!!
Me too. My "church" was run by masons. I never disbelieved in God, but had a very distorted view of Him for a long time. When I started reading the Bible for myself I saw that they were glossing over the truth with nice sounding, but empty, words.
Such a great work 👏 I will pray for Mike Winger and his ministry 🙏
Please watch/listen to Pastor Ginno Jennings, you will be completely set free, you will be delivered, praise God.
Just find a good old fashioned church that preaches the word of god, isn’t clickish, and form strong relationships with other Christian brothers and sisters
Pastor Mike, you deserve all the flack you're getting for this because you have done a marvelous job exposing Benny Hinn. I am so glad that I watched this....but I had to do it in many pieces because I was getting angry watching deceptions. I was particularly moved, almost to tears, when he pushed the woman with cancer.
You get this kind of push back because you have exposed the wickedness.
God bless you Bro. Mike.
Absolutely! Exposing a demon...
My husband and I are missionaries in Kenya and one of our biggest challenges and concerns is warning these (mostly uneducated) people about Benny Hinn (who is now targeting the vulnerable in Africa) Using God’s Word to refute his lies and Bible twisting and protecting the small flock in our charge is made more of a challenge because of people like Benny Hinn. Thank you Mike again for a calm, straightforward and biblical refute against this wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Uneducated???
2 Peter 2…..hang on to that and teach it as you can in Kenya. That area of Africa has my heart as well. ❤
I just saw he was in Nairobi a few weeks ago
@jamalkarissa7216 if people don’t know the Word of God, and don’t know the false teachings that Benny Hinn has done, wouldn’t you agree they were uneducated on these topics?
@jamalkarissa7216 Well, the vast majority are still uneducated in matters of false teachers. He recently went to kenya. Early this year. Did you see how many pastors attended his crusade?
Brother Mike, saw your “Benny Hinn is trying to silence me” vid which led me to your 4 hour expose on this man, I watched it all in one sitting..I’m a retired senior. Well done, I stand with you on this vid.
Well done. I appreciate your research and that you make 4 hours watchable. ❤️
Saw the response video which led me here.
Same here.
Would not have discovered this video without the "Benny Hinn is trying to silence me"-video. Quite the irony.
I saw Ruslans's commentary on the second video which made me look foe the original post. Two decades ago I learned from a news story that this man has mansions and that the healing were questionable. Thank you for your diligent research. I see your concern and compassion for these victims.
My grandmother died 22 years ago after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. After her death I found a piece of notepaper with Benny Hinn’s name and mailing address and the word “prayer” and “$25” scrawled next to it. My grandmother had almost no money. This made me so sad. Thank you for doing this.
💔
And that's one of the major issues with Hinn that Dr. Michael Brown, Sam Storms and other word faith apologists refuse to look at: the shameless exploitation of sick people
Sorry for your loss. The gift of salvation is free and prayer should never be tied to money giving
😢😢
I am so, so sorry for your loss and how the ministry of Benny Hinn preyed on your grandma.
I'm so sorry about your mom, Pastor Mike. My husband has throat cancer currently and having radiation. Pancreatic cancer is horrible. Praying for you. Thank you for this exposure of Benny Hinn
I have stage 4 cancer; never believed in Benny Hinn. I was diagnosed in 2019. By the grace of God I'm still alive.
I love you my dearest friend
You and my brother, same stage, same year, same wonderful God answering prayer and continuing to give life. May God bless you!
Praying that God's mercy continue to preserve and heal your body in Jesus' name
May God heal you in Jesus name.
May I ask are you born again and ready to stand before the Lord, Jesus Christ is God Almighty and he came in the flesh and he lived a sinless life, he died of sacrificial death and rose again that through faith our sins can be forgiven, if you believe in your heart that he rose from the dead and you confess him as or you will be saved and born again, we are all going to stand before God and our sins can only be forgiven to his son Jesus Christ for God made his son sin that you know sin that we may become the righteousness of God in him, God bless you and I hope for the resurrection transcends all suffering in this world
I’m the guy Mike talked about in the video with the knee problems as a kid. I WAS 💯 healed by God that night. I did pray to Jesus to heal me and He did, by His grace and mercy in that moment. After watching this video, even though Im grateful to the Lord for my healing at the crusade, my heart aches and I feel like crying as I watch this. So much confusion from each of these elderly people with these “healings” while they’re on stage standing in front of the Lord wanting a touch from Him. I pray Hynn renounces his ways and repents… turning to the only true healer, Jehovah Rapha. Jesus Christ. Yeshua the one and only true king.
Praise the Lord for your healing, and I wholeheartedly agree.
You were healed not from Hinn or his crusade, your faith brought you healing. The Apostles Never took credit for healing, they Always gave glory to Jesus for any miracles! Pray for Hinn to repent and step down and tell his followers that he was misleading them. Pray for his followers that their eyes are opened. It’s so sad.
Glory be to God. Jesus does heal today, but I agree that this (and other ministries like this) is heartbreaking, and is damaging to the reputation of Jesus and his continuing ministry now.
Benny Hinn has NEVER EVER HEALED ANYONE! GOD HEALED YOU NOT BENNY HINN!
Healing comes from faith in "GOD" not from the minister. Hinn may be the messenger of God, but he does not "heal". Only God does. And only God deserves the Glory. And be careful who you judge, because with the same amount u judge with, so shall u be judged.
The biggest miracle about this video is that someone at TH-cam actually watched 4 hours and 18 minutes to determine that there was no grounds for a copyright strike and didn't just pretend to watch the whole video. Whoever made that determination at TH-cam is a legend who deserves a raise.
The employee probably knew of Benny Hinn and hates him as well
@@aina3387What are the odds of that? Absolute miracle if you asked me.
4 hours of hearing the true Gospel compared to a false one - life changing
12 WAYS TO RECOGNISE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
1. MENTAL FILTER - PICKING OUT SINGLE NEGATIVE DETAIL AND FOCUSING ONLY ON THAT, WITHOUT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY GOOD THINGS.fOR EXAMPLE, AFTER ACONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE YOU ONLY RECALL THE ONE MINOR CRITISM AND IGNORETHE 16 GOOD THINGS HE SAID.
2.All or Nothing Thinking- Seeing things in black & white, missing the grey, e.g. they either love me or they hate me
Over-generalisation- Seeing a negative event as a sign that everything is negative, i.e.’ I always fail’, ‘I fail at everything I do’, or ‘I am always and forever going to be skint’
3.Discounting the positive- Recognising something good in your life and then rejecting it as irrelevant. ‘That doesn’t count’, or ‘anyone can do that’
4.Jumping to Conclusions- Making negative interpretations without facts to back them up. ‘I have a swollen gland, it must be cancer’.
5.Mind Reading- Making negative interpretations of what others may be thinking.
6.Fortune Telling- Anticipating that things will turn out badly, and feeling like your prediction is already a fact.
7.Magnifying- Exaggerating the importance of things like mistakes, or someone else’s achievement
8.Minimisation- Underestimating the importance of positive events or your own good qualities.
9.Perfectionism (unrealistic goals)- You motivate yourself with, ‘should’, & ‘must’. If you don’t manage to do things exactly right you then feel guilty and demoralised. If you direct these statements towards other people you feel anger, resentment & frustration. ‘Other people should always be reliable, trustworthy, on time, etc’
10.Self-Blame- You see yourself as responsible for some negative external events for which you were not responsible. ‘I’m just bad luck for anyone who comes near me’, remember you are responsible for your own thoughts and feelings; others are responsible for their own
11. Self-Putdowns- Attaching a negative label to yourself. ‘I’m a bad person’, ‘I don’t deserve any better’, ‘I am stupid, unreliable, weak’.
If you can identify with at least three of these negative thinking patterns you could be the victim of negative thoughts. Remember this is mostly an unconscious process, so it can be difficult to recognise this thinking.
FYI: Nobody at TH-cam watches the videos for copyright strikes -- they'd need an entire army of tens of thousands to do that -- it's an automated system driven by AI and algorithms. The only thing that happened (so far) is that the TH-cam scans haven't detected any audio or video fingerprints that match the copyrighted material in their database.
I was a member (over 3 years), of his church when he was on Gore Street in Orlando before he moved to the large facility on Forest City Rd. I was very active in Orlando Christian Center. He said and did some things I felt were not biblical and were false prophecies. I left his country club church and never went back. Thank you God that you saved me from him many years ago. Benny Hinn needs GOD.
I am in Kenya. Benny Hinn had a major crusade here recently, backed up by politicians and some clergy. I didn't have words to share to prove that Benny Hinn is a liar. Happy to have this video to share. Thank you.
Yeah praise God. Y'all got to be careful with these type of people coming from here.
You didn't words to prove want you haven't proven.
There are others on TH-cam that have videos on Benny hinn. Chris Roseborough is one.
I raised this issue with my pastor and I asked him whether he would attend the crusade… my pastor’s answer was
« About Benhin I may not support going to grave coz I don't have such belief but even the bones of Elisha raised a dead person.
I also have misgivings about him because of some things he has confessed about manipulating people through giving but my sister who is perfect?
Sometimes it's good to concentrate on positivity but that doesn't mean one is to be careless.»
He also told me to continue testing the spirit of someone.
Phillipians 15 - 18
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
To God be the glory… Amen 🙏🏽
That sounds even more fishy that he had politicians to back him up. Not good.
Normal exposing videos: 10-20 minutes
Mike's exposing video: 259 minutes
No stone left unturned with Mike. Lol
Depends on the iniquities of the subject 😂
Hes a liar. I have been a preacher 40 years, he is a pathetic tool of Satan, he exposed himself today
Or even the intricacies of the subject!
His dedication to presenting ALL the facts is phenomenal!
I was in the hospital getting prepped for surgery. The anesthesiologist was telling me what he was going to do. Then he said that if my lungs don't hold up under my weight (which I'm a bit over weight), that he would cancel the surgery because if he put too much pressure on my lungs, they would bust. The surgery required that I would be at an angle with my intestines and flab, pushing on my lungs. The machine would have to pump air in. This whole thing started to scare me so I said that I don't want the surgery. The anesthesiologist said that I needed the surgery. I was diagnosed with precancer. I figured it could wait. But what the doctor saud kind of surprised me. Then my oncologist who was also in the room, asked if I wanted to talk to the minister (who was walking down the hallway toward the area of my room). Sure, I said. The minister came in and the doctors left. He started talking about breath and the Holy Spirit. Which was odd since he was nowhere near the room when me and the doctors were talking about the breathing issues. The he prayed for me. It was at that time I felt a tingling in my lungs. I tried everything I could to make sure it was real and what could be causing it. The doctors haven't given me anything yet. Then this image was in my head of metal lungs. It was there the whole time the ministe was praying. Then the doctors came in and I said,let's do this. Surgery went fine. Lungs held up with no issue. Turned out I had stage 1 cancer. The precancer had surrounded the stage 1 cancer to where it couldn't be detected. The words of the anesthesiologist rang in my head. God surely was there. Letting me know how serious it was and that He took care of me. It was caught in time. It was contained in an area that was removed. I've been cancer free since 2022. I pray that people are blessed with real healings and answered prayers. Miracles do happen.
Awesome testimony. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
That's the type of miracle I believe.
Bless YHWH for His healing power. What a testimony, what a miracle 🙌
Yes they do. I've seen them. It is then even more a shame that people misuse the name of Jesus to promote themselves, instead of the power of God.
Praise God!!!!
Matthew 7: 15-20
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
The fruit is bad- As presented by your video, Mike! Thanks for the detailed video.
I do cancer research for my job, and I’ve spent a lot of time on pancreatic cancer specifically. There’s no way to describe it other than gruesome, even among other cancers. These are sick-and I mean SICK-patients, and the fact that people like Hinn would even dare to use people like this for their own ends and _in the name of Jesus_ , no less, is despicable. Anyone who would try to defend false teachers like this because critiquing “causes division” needs to _wake up_ . These are real people whose _eternal fates_ are on the line when the name of God is dragged through the mud by people like Hinn.
Mike, you are doing work that needs doing. Thank you.
My dad had cancer in the duodenum and it moved to his pancreas. He had a Whipple and then it moved to his liver. Thank you for your comment and the research you put in. Benny Hinn is a Charlatan as well as the other preachers like him.
Mike you are absolutely correct on him being a bad man and a con man. I had a son with MD he passed in 2014, but in the 90s, i drove my son desperate for healing 2300 miles to see this man of God who was healing people, we spent 3 days in Charlotte, NC and the last day he called out MD patients, and I carried my son down front and was met with huge security guards who threatened to escort me out if I didn't leave, so I went to the other side of the stage, and they were furious and almost got violent with me, so my son and I left ashamed that we fell for this Charlatan. I had to repent for being so foolish, thank you for your work brother.
I’m so sorry to hear that :(
I'm so sorry this happend to you, this is so sad :(
I'm so sorry, but im thankful that your son didn't get touched physically touched by that man. I think things would have become worse of he did.
I am sorry you had to go through such a horrific experience in the name of Jesus from the liar and deceiver BH!
That is so sad. You are not alone.
If Benny's not a falsch teacher, then no one is. If he's not a wolf in sheeps clothing, then they dont exist. Benny is the most obvious one of these that Jesus, Paul, Peter and Jude warned us about. How much more of them are slithering in our midst??? Mike, you did such a great job, super content. Thank you so much, what a blessing.
Waw, it 's so true what you say ... agree completely ...
exactly
At a ladies Bible Study, I used Benny Hinn as an example of who I considered a false teacher. Unbeknown to me, one of the newer women was one of his disciples. She accused me of not being fit to lead a study and insisted that I repent of what I said. I replied that I was sorry if I upset her but would not repent because I believe what I said. I suggested we drop it and get back to the study. She would not stop accusing me and telling me to repent, loudly, stabbing her fingers toward me. Eventually, we moved to prayer, which quieted her. Thereafter, every week, she repeated her demand that I repent. She was relentless and made continuing the study impossible. Eventually, after several weeks, the hostess asked her to leave. It shook me so much, I have not lead a study since. Other things happened that caused me to conclude there were demonic forces involved. This is a much needed video and I feel vindicated. The Benny Hinn disciple eventually left our church of her own accord.
I really hope that you go back to leading bible studies again one day- it sounds as if you are a real bible believing Christians- we need more Christians like you xx
I'm a fan of Benny. I'm not his disciple!
Are you a disciple of Mike?!
You didn't say why Benny Hinn was a false teacher!
@@flatearthevidence8473Mike explains the reasons for Benny being a false teacher very well in this video.
And a flat earther to boot 🎪@@flatearthevidence8473
Jehovah's Christian witnesses are the truth and the only organization that Jehovah is using.
The reason why they are different and believe different things is because Jehovah is the interpreter of prophecy, he decides what things mean and he has gradually and carefully overtime revealed his word the way that it should be... I mean here's a classic example of how Christendom understand the Bible John 8:58 is talking about jesus age, but christendom focus on the words "I am" knot actually there in this context as he is referring to the past) and try to link it with Exodus chapter 3 verse 15, the 2 have nothing to do with each other and 1700 years of christendom having the Bible has produced that nonsense... When a person is blinded by a particular doctrine they cannot see the truth no matter how hard they look, And that's why no one in christendom has the truth and only the Jehovah's Christian witnesses do, and when all religion is destroyed, That's when everyone will know who was right and who was wrong... The witnesses are the only religion on earth with this particular belief as far as I know... Jehovah has put everyone on notice.
Mike Winger is one of the only people left that still give me hope and faith to be a Christian. I grew up in the Vineyard in the 90s at Anaheim with all the charismatic big wigs.
I have seen and been through so much spiritual manipulation. I almost died as a child because I became gravely ill. My mother would not take me to the doctor, and instead took me to a Benny Hinn conference to be healed. The doctor said if she waited one more day I would have died. I am so repulsed and disgusted by most charismatic churches that I considered never going back to church. My faith was almost shipwrecked.
I was encouraged by this video and Winger. I am grateful there are still pastors with a backbone. This needs to be done.
I also reccomend Justin Peters. Check him out!
Others who have encouraged me are Alisa Childers, Steven Lawson, the Cultish podcast, and the Just Thinking podcast…to name a few. I grew up in the Pentecostal church and even went to Inland Vineyard (2014-2016) and visited Anaheim a couple of times. I remember my husband coming home from a men’s retreat there and being disturbed.
They’re straight up NAR now, right? Not even Vineyard anymore.
I know what you mean but don’t make the mistake I did, letting churches that let you down and instead of seeking God’s wisdom on what to do just get emotionally wrecked, I took it out on God what man did and hurt The One True God. It’s sad there are so many false teachers now but that’s all the more reason to dig your heels in and just be faithful and true for Him. I struggle a lot trying to forgive myself but I cling to Hebrews 7:25 He is able to save to the uttermost. God bless and hang in there, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. 🙏❤️
I agree with @bibleprophecy4400, don't turn away from God because of false people!
God is perfect and amazing and His Word is the truth.
So many people twist the Bible to say what they want, but if you go back and read it for yourself, it is always consistent and true.
People like Benny cherry pick parts and add them together to create lies.
Before i got saved, i lost my mom to cancer in 2017. She battled most of her life and never got healed. She was 50. She went into hospice, and even though i wasnt saved, i knew my mom was. There was something so peaceful to know she wouldnt suffer anymore and was with Jesus. It actually eventually got me saved because i started seeking. After i got saved i lost both of my grandparents, on my dads side, 18 days apart. It was hard but i looked to God for my hope and peace. As i watch my biological Family grow smaller, there is a hope that lives in me. Jesus walks with me and gives me peace in the dark moments. Thank you for exposing this. Death is a part of this life. Check your heart. Where does your hope reside? God bless all of you!
I worked hospice for one year. I had a lady who was in pain the whole time we had her (a few days maybe?) We did all we could to help, poor thing. Just constant pain. I was caring for her when she passed away, and she had the biggest smile on her face❤ I don't mean like, it was the end and she knew it was over. I mean, she died and her face rested in a smile. I'll never forget that😇
Amen my brother or sister!
Thank You I needed to see this,being my parents main caregiver whilst I myself am recovering from surgery,I feel defeated and lost but my mother,God bless her heart,is a wonderful amazing christian woman,my father also a believer but he is afraid to die,he's 86,I love them dearly,I'm a babe coming from a RC background then being agnostic for a bit lost my fav aunt last year and decided to change my ways and turn to Jesus,I'm still learning,making mistakes but true christians really do emit a different peace
We christians who know the truth we do have a hope, a special hope, that burns within our hearts. Hope in the coming of the Lord.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼 very powerful testimony. Jesus IS our hope!
2:59 6. How He "Slays in the Spirit": you are 1000000% correct Mike. That is EXACTLY how it works. I grew up in the Word of Faith/Benny Hinn/Kenneth Copeland/NAR/Hyper charismatic movement and not only did we go to a charismatic church, my parents also took me to at least one "camp meeting" with a Benny Hinn style speaker with the whole slain in the Spirit thing. The atmosphere was electric, everyone was feeding of of each other's emotional highs, and as the guys in black suits went down the rows slaying and catching and they slayed, two things happened to me at once. First, I WANTED to get slain in the Spirit. Two, I felt this weird tingly energy running through my body and I started swaying as the slay guy came up to me and did a spiritual finger wave inches away from my forehead. I went down. Because I wanted to even though as I did, I knew it was fake. But I decided to believe it was real. You literally just explained what I knew all along about my experience. You are absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to hypothesize this and share your theory. It's true.
Thankfully I came out of that garbage later on as an older teenager. Even so I appreciate this video and I wanted to offer my two cents as someone who's been there, done that.
So grateful for this. My grandmother was a follower of BH. She was a woman of God but was deceived. In my years of youth, I am now 52, my church and all around me followed him. I was never impressed, even as the charismatic I was and still am. I did not see the need for his shananigans and any preacher who places eyes on himself instead of God. So sad what this does for charismatics and the kingdom. Btw, I 've matured in my chatismatic ways and I believe my beliefs and yours align. A lot of preachers out there, charismatic or not, actually make me gag and so sad for all being deceived. We should NEVER follow man. I test all you say Mike, and thus far agree with 99.9%...I am very thankful for your ministry.
Love to hear that Christians can disagree on non salvation issues and agree as brothers in the salvation issues. This is what our God wants. He will clear up the other issues when we get there.
I'm agnostic so disagree with Winger on many, many things. But, Winger does good work when debunking some of these most harmful forms of Christianity.
Exactly my experience she loved Jesus and was very devout but even at five years old and she watched him and I was like Grammie this guy is weird 😳 something is up from the bible you read to me. My child like understanding of Jesus was enough to see deceit. God is thee only Holy one. None is good not one. So...
I’m a retired registered nurse and many times terminal patients will wake up and fill more energetic and have a sense of well being then turn back to pain and feeling lethargic before passing away. The young man clearly had ascites and his feet were so swollen. My sister has stage 4 lung cancer and Mets to the brain, she had over 40 tumors all the way to her brain stem. We whole heartedly believe she was divinely healed by the Lord but she still follows her Physicians orders and takes her chemo. God healed her it has been 10 years now which is mind blowing even her Physician are in wonder but it doesn’t mean that it won’t ever come back. God has plans for this loving woman of God. She is a mighty prayer warrior for others. Thank you Jesus.
Also an RN - she speaks TRUTH!
Sounds like the doctors who did amazing chemo deserve a lot of the praise rather than act like they are taking aback.
@@heyyou9839 I stated that she follows her Physicians orders which clearly does not put them “in the back” as you put it. Sorry I didn’t make it more clear, we love appreciate all her Doctors and all that they do. God bless.
My aunt did that 👆🏼. She had breast cancer and many tumors. She was bedridden, lethargic, moaning in pain. Then suddenly she sat up. Visited with her husband, then my mom, and her kids. She then felt tired again, layed back down and passed away. Amazing to witness yet extremely sad. 😢
My husband and I are French. Unfortunately Christians in France don't speak English and when you see a video of Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer or someone else, everyone thinks they are good Christians and no one does real research on the doctrines that they teach.
We are lucky to speak English (even if it's not perfect) and to be very curious about what is happening in the world among Christians.
In recent years we have become aware of all these false teachings and we have seen that due to lack of knowledge and wisdom, they have spread in the churches in France.
A few months ago we left our church because our pastor began twisting the scriptures 3 years ago. He only talks about healing and miracles. Jesus is no longer at the center. The only person of the Trinity he speaks of is the Holy Spirit, Jesus is only there when we sing (and not always) and God the Father no longer exists in these messages.
He no longer preaches the gospel and even less repentance.
Before being our pastor, he was a friend. We made an appointment with him to speak to him directly about our concerns. He denied everything and just said "that's your impression but it's not true".
We warned him about the people he was inspired by but he didn't want to listen to us.
Shortly afterward, one Sunday at church, he spoke about all the points we had discussed with him and said that people who thought as we did were unbelievers, tools of the enemy. It was at that moment that we understood that our place was no longer in this church.
He completely transformed the church, adding music and lights to create an “atmosphere” conducive to miracles. There are no elders in the church anymore, no one to watch over him. It became “his” church. Always the same songs that talk about miracles and healings. And lately people are falling "under the anointing of the Holy Spirit"
Several long-time Christians have moved away from the church also because they know the Bible, but there are a lot of new ones and i am scared for them...
I remember a "prophecy" there was, the man said he saw our pastor dressed in white like Benny Hinn. We thought it was a false prophecy (because he said a lot of things that weren't biblical) but when I see what's happening, maybe he's becoming a little French Benny Hinn...
Watching your video, we didn't expect to see so many points in common between our pastor and him...
Thank you for your work. You have been a blessing to us during the difficult times we have gone through. I thank God for the work He is doing through you.
I pray that God gives you the strength and wisdom to continue your ministry !
God bless you Mike.
I pray the Christians who you speak of an do not speak English can soon have the computer automatically translate videos. Written text on internet can already be translated to yr language by the computer very easily. one just has to go into settings and turn it on and I then get buttons at bottom of the web browser to choose which language to display the page in. every once in looooong while the computer translation comes up with errors, mostly that is a problem when the translation ends up meaning the opposite of the original, this is usually only a problem with idioms and slang, things like that may not occur as much in writings about Christianity and theology.
wolves in sheep's clothing overtook your church. so sorry.
🙏
Praising God for genuine, biblical French believers !! So sorry American Christianity has exported prosperity gospel to the world. Praying for your former church, that the Lord would open eyes and soften hearts
Kind of the same problem here in Honduras with spanish. These movements are strong in Central America and most reliable information is in English.
Why are you Europeans turning away from Catholicism and going into Protestantism where majority of their doctrines are heretical?
Praise God you were delivered out of that False Ministry.
Appreciate you taking the time to assemble this. Especially as a fellow charismatic, I think it’s important to judge with just scales regarding Hinn.
Hope you do a reaction to this Ruslan - to boost the number of people talking about it :)
@@drjanitor3747why? Because they’re not part of the “one true church”? Mike Winger wouldn’t be making these several hour videos, if he didn’t care about truth of scripture. Protestants call out other Protestants because we care about genuine faith and biblical teachings.
Benny is the mainstream of the Charismatic movement and it;s sad that we protestants have to make these videos because I don't see you guys policing your own
Now ask why sam storms calls him a fellow brother.
@@drjanitor3747
And you would rather be a partner in crime instead?
I was in the choir at a Benny Hinns Night in Colorado in 2003 and when he slayed the choir with his white jacket, I felt nothing and did not fall down as other people around me did fall down. I don't think they really felt it either, but they were in a choir that was supposed to believe in Benny Hinn so they did go down. I felt stupid like there was something wrong with my belief so I sat down too wondering what was wrong with me that I didn't feel God. I thought maybe God was upset with me. Now I know I didn't feel God because God was not there. I haven't listened to him, bethel, or TBN since. God has answered my prayers and no atmosphere other than my sincere prayer asking for God's will to be done in Jesus Holy Name.
I give God the glory for my answered prayers. Not any Pastor.
Thank you Pastor Mike for your Courage and true love of the Bible, God's word, and Christ Jesus our Lord and Blessed Savior!❤
Thank you for doing this. I have never been a fan of Benny H. We are all seeking for better understanding. Praying it all turns around for God's sake.
I had something similar at a Christian camp back when I was a teenager. I was beginning to get cynical about this kind of stuff, so I decided that the next time they did the slaying in the spirit thing I was going to try and stay standing up, on the logic that if it was really God I wouldn't be able to. Well, I did, and the guy made a legitimate effort to push me over, but it didn't work.
It became obvious that there is an un-verbalised script for this kind of thing. Everyone knows what is supposed to happen, and so it does. The Holy Spirit wasn't actually doing anything anything of the kind (and why would he? Pushing people over is stupid), yet people were desperate for a touch from God so they went along with it.
Literally went to Jesus conference. Had a blast but then he went up and when he prayed me and my wife(girlfriend at the time) stood there and said I guess we aren’t spiritual enough and just laughed.
@@Nick-s7j1r I’ve been “slayed” before. It’s rare and not as normal as they make it. For context I will literally make my self stand firm as possible. I weigh 250 and squat over 400. So when people do it for show nothing happens except them looking crazy. But the times it’s happened to me it was people minimally touching me and it was if I can describe as not being slayed but overwhelmed by God. I go up for prayer not to be slayed so when it happens I’m presently surprised.
I had the same type of experience and walked away because I thought God didn't love me anymore....... How wrong I was!
Btw That church is no more.
I pray for the rulers of this world the powers and principalities in high places to repent of their evil.
God bless.
Mike, this is a genuinely phenomenal video. As a pastor in a poor area, I have seen firsthand the devastation of the prosperity gospel. It comforts me to know that false teachers like Hinn will one day give an account to God for what they've done. Keep standing firm for the Scriptures and the true Gospel!
Great video: thank you for exposing this! I appreciate it immensely!
One of my friends had an ANGELIC, heartbreaking beautiful singing voice and she was invited to sing at a Benny Hinn event. We thought that was SO COOL at the time! Now as adults we realize it was just a tactic to set the stage and environment to control emotions and control the crowd to feel what Hinn wanted them to feel. So deceitful
I attended a Pentecostal Church for a short time , and while there, they came up to "pray" for me and began trying to push me down laying hands on my head. After just a short time, I grabbed the guy's wrist and said "If the Spirit of God isn't slaying me, don't you try it." I was younger then and had a grip like an iron vice from doing construction and oilfield work. He let go and I haven't been in one of those churches since . Hinn needs to truly repent for loving money more than God
Had a similar experience with someone trying to push me over 😢 Hated it and never went back to that preacher
@@toddie3910I understand that, they're not doing God's work when they do this kind of stuff. All they did with me, is make me determined to never set foot in one of their churches ever again. Sorry that happened to you friend.
@@leonceboudreauxwolfit definitely made me more determined to know God for myself and not really on these "men of God". I thank God that all of us can come to know him amd walk with him no matter what our backgrounds
@@toddie3910Amen.. absolutely true. Jesus is our ONLY mediator between us and the Father, I've learned that He's sufficient enough. God bless you for not giving up and seeking Him on your own. 👍🏽
I will say I was extremely skeptical, and still am, of Pentecostal churches. However, I've recently been going to a Spanish church with my wife, and they are more or less Pentecostal; i.e., they speak in tongues at times, people get slain in the spirit, etc. They do lay hands on those who come up for prayer. However, they have never forced it on anybody. I've never seen them trying to force people down either.
Truly, they feel like family to me and have always made me feel welcome.
I guess the point I'm making is not all Pentecostal churches are bad, but there is probably a higher likelihood of Pentecostal churches falling into this trap.
I followed Hinn, Copeland and Dollar for over 10 years because I wanted a better life like they said God would give me. I gave and gave when I had nothing and got nothing. They had me believing that my faith was too weak. Then one day God opened my eyes to the truth of His word and I got out of all of that nonsense. I still live a very paycheck to paycheck life but I live the Lord like never before and went from the faith movement and am now a Baptist following the true gospel. Please those of you who follow these men pray that the Lord will open your eyes to the truth.
My advice to you is do as the Bible says give to the poor because then you are lending to the Lord. I stopped tithing and giving in any church once I read and understood my bible😉
@fergo81 you have the same name as my daughter 😉
@fergo81Thats not why we worship on Sunday, dearest. I bought into that when I was a baby Christian, too, not even 3 years ago.
Keep praying on it and studying about Christ & the Resurrection and you’ll get to the truth of that change before long and it’ll all make much more sense. ❤️
@fergo81 In Acts you will find the first Christians worshiping on the first day of the week. That day is Sunday. Paul makes it clear that you can call any day the Lord's day. He made them all.
The focus should always be on Jesus and they are selling the focus on prosperity which is why so many follow them because they want that life, not God.
I have been to one of Benny Hinn's crusades when he came to the UK in 2000 as I was looking for healing from HIV and my friend from Parkinsons. Needless to say neither of us were healed and I found the whole experience very disturbing. My friend died late last year but I am still going strong as God has sustained me all these years. I thank all the TH-camrs who are calling these people out and I find this video the most informative and hurtful. Any Benny Hinn followers watching this I pray the scales will be lifted from your eyes. The greatest healing God can give us is the healing of our souls. Thank you Mike
Amen! His grace is sufficient!
Amen
I was healed of fourth stage rectal cancer and I didn't need Benny hinn who I consider a false prophet Jesus himself directly healed me and I am still free from cancer healing is real Benny hinn is not
I was healed.
Praying for your healing in this life but we will all be restored in the next! God continue to go with you day in and out! Amen!
As a non-christian I appreciate this exposé of a clear huckster and that Christians are keeping each other accountable.
I went to a Benny Hinn's crusade. I was exhausted listening to the same songs over and over. The service was about 4 hours. As a new Christian I believed everything I was told. Benny taught about communion and what he taught made me feel condemned. That night the Lord gave me a dream about the mercy seat and Jesus assured me I was okay. I am not one for visions and dreams, but I am convinced God spoke to me through that dream.
Why did you feel condemned? Did he say we need to repent....not live in sin? What was condemning about it?
I remember when I was a brand new evangelical Christian I was so excited but you're right I was so susceptible to everything . I didn't know How to discern a good teacher from a bad teacher..
Benny Hinn and ilk like him very much Take advantage of naive and vulnerable people
@guytruth4907 I was not in sin. I did not know my standing with Christ. He said if we took communion unworthily, we could die. He did not emphasize forgiveness but the curse. Jesus makes us worthy. It was the devil trying to make me doubt my slavation. God took care of me. God will not let his children be led astray as long as they choose to walk in the truth.
@pblonrongracie while Mr. Hinn's wording was incorrect, it isn't entirely wrong. The Apostle Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 11 that anyone that takes communion in an "unworthy manner" that they drink judgement upon themselves. This judgement, of course, is the wrath of God we are all destined to experience if it were not for the grace of Christ whose call we have responded to. We are not saved simply because he did the work, but because we believe in the work that he did and we repent of our sin against him.
If at the time of that teaching you, as you said, did not know your standing with Christ, then to take communion and proclaim his death would have been to take communion in an unworthy manner.
I remind everyone in my church before communion that it is reserved only for those who are repentant and have a saving faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If they aren't sure, they shouldn't take it.
We don't get to take communion because Jesus loves us. We take communion to remember and proclaim the truth of what Jesus did to save us. Anyone that knows and trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and is not harboring an unrepentant heart is welcome to come to the table.
@matthewgardiner8731 yes I know the teaching, and I understand it now, but I was a baby Christian then. Saved 45 years now.
My husband passed away last year from complications from covid. Gods gift was having him almost 38 years. Wonderful Christian man. I know will see him again. I miss him so very much. I asked our Pastor to preach salvation at his service as I knew there would be friends and family who needed to know Jesus. It was a beautiful service and way to honor his memory.
I went to a Benny Hinn event in the late 90's. I was appalled that Mr. Hinn made his grand entrance onstage as we were singing the words "how great thou art". He was wearing his white suit and had his arms out as if we were singing about him. It put a bad taste in my mouth. I left the event shortly after and never watched him on television or read any of his books again. I just could not believe his arrogance.
Mike, this was very thorough and fair. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Finally I see people speaking up about false teaching...
God bless you be strong in your work and be ready to be hit by big stones .
Mike feels some sort of way about this. I don't think I've ever seen him noticeably angry. Yet he's still somehow charitable and fair. One of my favorite pastors.
The only time I've seen him very angry was after the Ravi stuff unfortunately
@@shua510 Yeah...Hinn and that are two very good reasons to be angry.
I've never heard him call someone a "scumbag" until today! And it was deserved!
He got pretty frustrated with Matt Dillahunty during their debate and it showed but yeah it's very rare
@@shua510what Ravi thing are you talking about?
My oldest son passed away in 2016 from brain cancer. I begged and pleaded to God to heal him. God laid on my heart that he would heal my son, but not here on Earth, his healing would come by being taken to heaven. I don't feel God took my son, I think He rescued my son from further suffering. I was angry and hurt deeply, at first, I felt God betrayed me by not healing my son. Now I know he had to rescue my son for my son's own good. My son was fragile, emotionally, and physically. While he was so strong to handle the suffering he went through, it took a toll on him. He was rescued and is safe and free and never has to deal with any more pain or the grief of losing his mom and dad. It makes me angry to see Benny Hinn fake the healing of these people suffering with cancer. Those poor, poor people who have their hope shattered. I learned when my son was dying that hope means the most to those who've lost it. We must be gentle with people going through these types of things and so careful with what we guarantee and promise God will do for them.
So very wise and beautiful 🌹

@@_a_v_j thank you for your kind words. ❤️
I saw these televangelist's on TV as a kid in the 80's. Couple that with marginal Roman Catholic upbringing and it's not surprising that I wrote off religion. By the grace of God, I was saved and born again 3 years ago as a 48 year old man. Mike, your ministry has been a massive blessing to someone who knew virtually nothing when I was saved.
Awesome: it's still the Roman Catholic church's fault. ⚡
Now Mike PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a teaching on authentic healing. I have been healed twice. Once was during a worship setting. I had already been told that I would need neck surgery. But God did a " chiropractic" move on my neck. I felt heat from the top of my head to the rest of my body. The doctors pronouncement that I would need surgery in two years or less did not happen. Pain was GONE. That was 2012.☺️
Thank you for your excellent exposure on Hinn. I've been a cult researcher for many years. In the early 90's I was researching the 'Vineyard' so called 'revivals' and had a detour to visit one of Hinn's events.
I can't say I trusted Hinn. But I knew he was aligned with the others I was researching.
You mentioned being 'slain in the spirit.' I certainly didn't go there for this purpose.
But at the end of the stage play, Benny blew his anointing around the stadium of thousands.
We watched in some apprehension as people fell like dominos around the whole stadium.
It started where we were from the front and everyone fell back in their chairs - hard. Including us.
I was totally baffled. I'd known the Lord a long time. This was completely foreign to me.
It lead to demonic attacks after I returned home. Every time it happened I would pray and the Lord stopped it.
I'm not saying this is true about everyone who is 'slain in the spirit.' There could be some where it's humanly manipulated. But this was demonic. I learned more about the final days apostasy when I walked through that door that I ever understood before. I truly had seen, and experienced the beautiful side of evil - with music to control the mind.
I still research these cults, but from a distance. I'll never go near this strange fire again.
So interesting. Thanks for sharing.
"The Beautiful Side of Evil". Was that a Johanna Michaelson reference? I thought of her during this video.
I grew up thinking this kind of thing was most definitely God. It's been hard admitting that I really don't know God at all. I've had to start all over from the very beginning.
I was present for the Brownsville FL revival event. Extraordinarily different from Hinn and the rest of the crew. Lasting, personal, positive changes in multiple friends' lives. Zero money was promised. In fact, we were all warned that we would be suffering for Christ and be persecuted. I don't recall a single offering accepted across the 4 days I was there. I didn't personally witness a single thing that wasn't congruent with The Word.
I gleaned one useful thing from Hinn - you point out that he repented, then went back to doing the same thing. You showed this pattern 3 times or so. As you pointed it out, I started to think, "Am I any better? Don't I do the same thing?" I have things to work on, and it's humbling to realize I'm no better than he is. Thank you for doing this work, Mike!
Just want to mention one thought. Please check me on this though, since I think I should have some more scripture to back it up:
In my understanding there seems to be some sins which are committed in moments of weakness, and others which can only be done with premeditated decision. For example, someone struggling with drugs/alcohol or porn or lying or anger might sin over and over in their struggle and be truly grieved about their failures, truly repent each time, but continue to struggle because it really is difficult to resist those temptations in the moment. This seems different to me than someone who, for example, repents of cheating but goes on to arrange plane tickets in advance so that they can continue to be with people other than their spouse and lying that it was a business trip. That takes many stages of decision, and is not a failure in a moment of temptation. For someone to repent about that and then continue doing it means the repentance wasn't legitimate. But for the first example, someone struggling with a repeated in-the-moment sin, I think the passage applies where Paul complains that "what I want to do I don't, and what I don't want to do I do!".
What do you think?
@@brysonorosa632 sin always begins as a thought- and sin is sin, regardless if more thought went into it (as you’ve named, premeditated), or if it was sin chosen in the moment. I think the mark of true repentance is whether or not you’re actually going to war to defeat it. Have you set up accountability? Have you deleted the app leading you to watch pornography? Are you still entering spaces where you’ll be tempted to drink/do drugs? What protections have you put in place to protect yourself- before you reach the moment- where you’ve responded sinfully? There will always be sin we are tempted with in this life. A sign of true repentance and relationship with the Lord, is noticing how that sin affects you. As Christians, we should be grieved by it, knowing it grieves the Father. If we’re not grieved, that should worry us. No matter what the sin.
@brysonorosa632 yes i would agree. As a new christian felt like i would never make it but as you stay trusting in Jesus you do grow spiritually and it gets easier. With Benny Hinn he is influencing loads of people with what he says and he does not apoear to even be trying to be scriptural in his teaching. He is definitely into greed which is idolatory.. he hasnt repented of that..
false prophecy is like the only thing that's put in another category
Reminds me of TDJakes recent statements about his immoral behavior. "Even if I did it all I have to do is repent and go on." Unfortunately these people do nor know what true repentance is.
I was stuck in the "word of faith"/"prosperity gospel" for all of my childhood. There was a time where we were having a "spiritual" prayer night and I was 13 at the time. I coward in the back of our tiny church watching people fall down and was terrified as one of the assistant pastors tried to usher me to come up. I just shook my head. Even at such a young age I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it until God opened my whole family's eyes when I was 19. Thank the Lord for delivering us out of those mindsets.
There are no victims. There are just lessons to learn.
I saw it was wrong, too. They saw I was not them. They said God did not want me.
I am Gods'.
Most are fake. Few are real. All my visions from God came to pass and some witnesses. I did not even know the visions were coming. No church site will allow me to show Bible verses. I can't buy or sell online. Nor some stores. I'm stalked. And so much more has happened to me. The Bible tells us in end days. There will be many.
Read the full Bible from beginning to end. You'll see the truth. Ask God for truth.
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
@robertdouglas8895
there are victims.
They teach there are none to get people to not acknowledge what's happening.
It's all part of their agendas.
I'm confused. Do all Pentecostals teach the prosperity gospel? Or is it that some prosperity preacher are Pentecostals but not all? Or are they a separate thing all together?
@@StringofPearls55 Pentecostalism is a different movement. They do emphasize spiritual gifts, like tongues, miracles and healings but because of preachers like these who misuse Scripture and do these horrible things (a lot of them) who do have Pentecostal leanings, Pentecostals get a bad reputation because of them. So they are different, not all Pentecostals preach the prosperity gospel, but sadly quite a lot of famous Pentecostal pastors do. There are definitely some Pentecostals who abhor the prosperity gospel and call it out though.
Hope that cleared it up a bit!
I thought he was actually a healer until I personally attended one of his prayers in Europe , when I noticed that those that he was healing were his actors. He asked people to close eyes to pray but I immediately opened my eyes to see what was going on, I was curious and that was when I noticed the trick that made me go home unhappy . Him and his people working with him had eyes open communicating with eye signals and then he looked around the whole hall and nodded to his workers like saying we got the fools😢😢😢 it was a sad moment for me, then
his eyes and mine met and he noticed I watching what was going on. I tried going forward to be prayed for but he gave a signal to push me far back behind twice and that explained alot to me and then believed the warning from a friend that it was all lies a source of money making thing.😢
I have always known Benny Hinn was a false teacher and a false prophet. I am happy to see a real Christian pastor with influence call him out. This is the best piece on Benny the fraud Hinn since the book, "The Confusing World of Benny Hinn came out." Thank you Brother Winger.
I agree. I am so glad a solid bible based Pastor such as Brother Mike has not fallen for his lies and deception, and is calling his lies out.
The "real Christian pastor" who has no faith in God power who does not in believe in a 6 day creation. If Mike can't get in the beginning right I don't think he has faith of God being able to do much.
@@lance9249Mike doesn’t believe in creation?
@@lance9249can you show me where he has said this
@@tiffanysantaYes, he does. This is just slander. There’d be a huge outcry and many more “exposure of Winger” if he taught otherwise. Don’t take people’s word for things.
Benny Hinn was one of those charlatan televangelists that allowed me to dismiss the Truth for way too long in life. I felt it was so obvious that if God allowed such people to prosper on His behalf, He must be complicit with those actions or powerless to stop it.
Im sure some people have found Jesus thru Benny but many more have been pushed away, I was fortunate enough to come back.
He did give a lot of ppl in the 90s false hope in miracles and also broke a lot of people with his lies. Imagine really being chronically ill, and the just not getting better, and wondering why God is letting this happen to you but healing other people through Bennie. Its a horrible position to be in by a deceiver like him.
Agreed! I was raised a Jehovahs witness. When I was 14, I was kind of questioning my faith. A friend secretly took me to her church. Everyone was screaming in tongues, rolling around the floor, crying and laughing. It terrified me. Thankfully, Jesus pulled me out of the JW cult, but it took a very long time. Every time I'd start to question, I'd picture that church, and that stopped me. They are doing very real damage. The funniest thing is God called me back to that same church, and I told Him, "You are kidding, right??" Turned out the church split a few years after I was there specifically over the charasmatic abuse. They are really amazing now ❤ God is so good!
Wow! I never thought of it that way. Interesting.
Oh yes. So glad you came back brother. God bless you.
It's in Deuteronomy 13:1-3
[1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.]
He (God) does "it" to prove you. vs. what you say in: "I felt it was so obvious that if God allowed such people to prosper on His behalf, He must be complicit with those actions or powerless to stop it."
It's sin. Has sin in it:
---- ---- ---- ----
It's God that determined, alone: by himself, what he chose "...to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness..." (Daniel 9:24) - is Jesus Christ.
Didn't choose me, or you, or Benny Hinn. Chose his own Word would be what he determined to God, and God do a work with sin only he can do...
...and already did it in Jesus Christ. It's in none else.
THEN:
This, "who do you look unto?" When he says, "Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - God. Isaiah 45:22
Am I looking unto Benny Hinn? "Who" asked me to look unto Benny Hinn?
Where if I just regard the works of the Lord, and consider the operation of his hands vs. my own, or others, including anyone, even this Benny Hinn: It's a "work" like, a "distraction" to get you to "look unto" it, like a side show vs. God. Regard Benny Hinn's works more.
God. By his Word, "He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding." (Jeremiah 51:15)
He's the one you, me, everybody to the very ends of the earth publicly himself, not willing any perish but all come to repentance, asked EVERYBODY to look unto him.
God said, "Look unto me," then ..why am I looking unto Benny Hinn? God..., and he speaks. By his Word. These are his Words. Not mine, so in 50 days, or 500 even 5 years. or 50 billion....even into eternity, his Word is still his and will be the same. It will not pass away.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God. So, it's God that says what he wants to utter, by his Word in Matthew 24:24
" For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
I know him by his Word.
I know Benny Hinn by his Word. It's in this 4hr video, what Benny Hinn has, for decades, openly and publicly said, by his Word.
It's his own dreamer's dreams he's prophesied of himself. Then, Claims it's God said. The Word of Benny Hinn has lies in it.
When God speaks, doesn't have any lies in it. Not the same.
As someone who was brainwashed in this false doctrine for a time and lost my Mom to cancer this year, I feel your anger, Mike. I’m STILL trying to undo the damage done by this garbage, which is how I found your channel. Thank you for being a solid teacher.
I think channels like The Messed up Church, LongforTruth1, Fighting for the Faith, Daniel C, and Justin Peters Ministries will help you out alot. Check them out when you have time.
Thank you for reminding me. I gave a thousand dollars to Benny Hinn's ministry when we were stuck in an apartment and we wanted a house. We had nothing in our savings account. We were given everything we needed to buy this house and it's much better than I could have hoped for. 🕊️
TBN and DAYSTAR TV will also be held accountable for making a lot of false teachers famous.

Shame is how the enemy keeps you bound to your past. Repent for leading others astray, repent for the prayers you prayed, and rejoice that you have been set free. Make amends to those you can find and pray for those that used you. Blessings my friend.
Just watched the section on 'healing' and the various cancer victims. In just under 2 weeks, we celebrate the 'graduation to glory' of my son. He had a rare, terminal cancer where, in the end, the tumors attached to his pancreas. In his last hours he confidently confirmed his faith in God (he was a believer throughout his life). The last moments of his life were the WORST moments in mine. Twenty five years later - the memory of his passing still brings tears to my eyes... he is in glory and I am happy for his rest. For this con man to give false hope to people with these conditions and situations - I join you in your 'righteous indignation' Mike.
I'm so very sorry for your loss 😢
But PRAISE GOD WE KNOW YOUR SON IS IN HIS ARMS! 🙏

In 1988 or 1989 I first saw TBN, I had been saved already. At some point, I got a book by Benny Hinn, as my heart has always been to see the sick healed. I was reading and he said in the book, which, I don't have any longer, nor do I remember the name of it, he wrote, that he got up, he was so excited, he ran out of the house, and he ran so fast the Holy Spirit had to chase him. I was like what??? We are to follow Jesus; The Holy Spirit leads us. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. May the people that don't see this video, may our Lord open eyes to see the slightest change in what the word actually says and keep reading the Bible first. thank you, Mike! I've been out of work because I'm waiting for a surgery, and spending time listening to some great teaching you have brought forth. Please pray for my healing and recovery.
My mom died just a couple of weeks after attending a Benny Hinn crusade back in 2002. I wasn't sure how I felt about it back then, but I knew I had to step back and trust that God would reveal the truth.
Within a couple of years, I went through a time of grieving over not only the lies of Benny Hinn, but all of those charlatans that I used to listen to.
I believe my mom really did recognize her need for a a savior and truly repented for her sin, and I look forward to the day when I see my Savior face to face and am reconciled with the woman I was blessed to call Mom for 33 years.
How is that Benny's fault.

I’m with you Mike, I spent 10 years in a Word of Faith church. I have also been in hyper-charismatic circles for many years. I’m so tired not only of Copeland and Hinn and their snake oil. But they have produced multitudes of disciples who proclaim their false gospel. Not to mention the victims of their heresy, many whom have abandoned the faith altogether. I want deeply to see works of the Spirit in the church today, THIS isn’t it!
It's so hard to find a church not tainted by the NAR, hyper charismatic, and or word of faith... or the other extreme of Ceasationalism, super religious, saved by works nonsense or some strange blend of the two oh and can't forget the witch doctors and the cults and witches and new age that's made it's way in to the churches where i live... its so frustrating
G12 WOF?
I went to a charismatic church and they had him come to raise money for the church I attended. Benny Hinn said many things that were unscriptual. I don't believe pushing people down is correct. I have been slain in the spirit once and no one touched me or even prayed for me. I was standing in a worship meeting and apparently went down on the spirit and I opened my eyes and I was on the floor. A lady next to me asked if I was ok because she said I hit the chair and floor hard. I felt nothing and was not hurt or bruised at all. It has never happened again.
@@winniefindstheway thankfully now I’ve been in a solid church for going on 12 years.
@@IAmJKey Not sure what G12 is, gift 12?
My wife was in Ghana 1993 to 1995 as a short-term missionary. She said the missionaries told her Hinn was there not long before she got there. He had to escape for his life. People came to him having spent about a year's salary to bring their loved ones to him to heal. At that time travel still wasn't easy and was costly and a long journey north country to the south part of the country and vice versa. The missionaries said there was a mob after Hinn when they realized he wasn't healing people. We think this may be the trip where he claimed a man raised from the dead. Thank you for exposing the tricks of the trade and the fraud he commits.
It’s mind-boggling how Hinn and others like him will keep going, even after something like this. His pride and greed are off the charts.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing, Mike. I used to believe that Hinn was a man of God but, after much research and Bible study, I realised that he definitely is not.
Thanks be to God for this video!
I'm watching with righteous anger and am weeping also because my mom also died of pancreatic cancer last November. Yet, I will pray for your work to be heard and seen, but I also will pray for Benny Hinn's true repentance before He stands to be accountable to God Almighty. God bless you Mike!!!

@marypatton7957 get your nose out of Benny's behind
I remember hearing Joni Tada saying she went to a Benny Hinn event. She told of how she saw people in wheelchairs getting "healed" on stage. She also said that none of those people came from the wheelchair section and everyone in the wheelchair section went home in a wheelchair.
One thing people forget is that not all people in wheelchairs are paralyzed. Often times, zero context of the healing for videos that do go out there. I have received miraculously healing in my life. It is not meant to be a viral thing. It is really meant to impact the lives of those who know the person who is healed since they know the history and context.
@@JillCeeTo be in the wheelchair section all you need is a wheelchair; you don't have to be paralyzed. So there were people in the wheelchair section who weren't paralyzed. So people who were NOT in the wheelchair section materialized from the back.
OP is showing how Hinn was an intentional liar and manipulator. People in wheelchairs generally sit in the accessible areas. People in wheelchairs don't often stay away from the service or sit in inaccessible areas because they're in wheelchairs.
God can and does heal miraculously--Hinn did not. Those people were plants like snake oil salesmen's slaves.
I can verify this comment, seen it myself at two separate “crusades” in the early 2000’s. I remember sitting upstairs looking down at the stage, watching people in wheelchairs and leaving in same wheelchairs when they went home and really feeling for them.
Same thing happened to my sister who later died of M.S. Thanks Benny for Nothing. He's a false teacher for sure.
She traveled 500 miles arrived in a wheelchair and returned the same way.
I came out of the prosperity gospel here in Sweden. I joined a congregation that invites a lot of prosperityteachers and one of them was Benny Hinns brother: Henry Hinn. He spoke out a curse over the audience, saying if they didnt gave an offer to the pastors vacation they would be cursed. I was in this church many years, chasing for inner healing but by Gods grace i got out of it. God Bless you Mike and those watching this video, from Sweden.

It is insane their whole family seems to be this way. We ought to pray for them both.
I pray this video goes far and wide and has MAJOR impact and hopefully even starts to topple the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel. This is incredibly important work that Winger, Steve Kozar, Chris Roseborough, Justin Peters, Daniel Long, Costi Hinn and many others are doing.
I also hope that many others in the hyper-charismatic/continuationist camps can plainly see through this video why those in reformed/cessationist camps get extremely passionate about these false movements and heretical teachings. It absolutely devastates peoples faith and has major impact on unbelievers believing in Christ.
Let's get both camps to come together (those that agree on the essentials) and fight against these false apostles, prophets and teachers for the GLORY OF GOD!
Bad theology hurts people.
YAHWEH IS KING.
I went to a charismatic church with my aunt when I was 7, & the antics I saw felt so evil, that I hid in the bathroom until the service was over.
This breaks my heart because I think of my own children. All souls are mine says the Lord. These teachings could prevent souls from ever being reunited with Christ because they are false & scary.
Although we shouldn’t conflate charismatics with evil or Hinn, it is true that some charismatic churches veer off into unbiblical practices in the name of “following the Spirit.”
I went to a church meeting with my oldest brother and also hid in the bathroom for a large portion of the "service".
@@gilwaaExactly. It's like saying every Cessationist is "like Westborough Baptist". It's important to distinct charismatics with EVIL charismatics.
Smart kid! Your instincts are solid
I’ve never thought for a second he’d repented. In my younger years, he amused me. Pushing 70, he greatly angers me. By this time of life, we’ve met and spoken with folks who’ve (out of desperation) fallen prey to this 💩. He’s eternally dangerous.
I thought I’d end up splitting this 4+ hour video up, but I had to see it thru. This took a lot of work. It’s much appreciated. My hope is that those who may be following him now will watch this and the Spirit will help them see this man for what he is.
I’d never considered his victims being props. That bothers me the most…💔
20 odd years ago I used to sit alone in the living room (the program was only on during the midnight hours) and watch Bennie Hinn heal people - and cry to the Lord and ask - why them and not me? If I could pay him electronically back then I think I would have. I was so desperate. I have such a different understanding of illness and of healing now. Thank God I was not "healed" and disappointed and broken. He not only caused damage to the people he toyed with. But also caused immense anguish to so many that "did not receive healing".
I cannot tell you how many times I sat there alone in my living room. With Benny and also Paula White. Thank You Lord for ratification. Thank you Lord for the answer - 20 0dd years down the line. Thank you Mike. From South Africa.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. My sister did too. She couldn't understand why she couldn't be healed even after traveling to one of his healing crusades. She believed that God was intentionally causing her to suffer, but she didn't know why. That's the legacy these liars leave the hopeful who don't get healed. In face they will blame it on the person saying "You didn't have enough faith" May God bless you and my sister.
Dear Brother, God wants is to be with other believers! A TV or a device cannot so that. We are to be under authority of an elder in a local body! I pray God leads you to a wonderful moving body of believers!
@@deborahcatalano261they could have had a church 20 years ago and now. You can watch tv after church.
So glad I found you! Thanks for caring enough for the body of Christ to speak the truth!
I still don’t know how Jesus and the Apostles healed anyone without the following:
1. Mood music
2. Crowds falling down in the Spirit
3. “Catchers” standing behind people
4. Healing services
5. Crowds who are worked up into a mood with music, song, worship, and a long setup sermon
6. A professional sound system complete with microphones
And an editor.
Oh and don't forget the most important....SOWING A "SEED" 😐
Jackets..😅
And fog machines!
I was healed of epilepsy during a worship service. Why would you tell God what he can and can't do?
Many years ago when I was a brand new Christian, I had as many positive Benny Hinn experiences as you can imagine minus being actually healed. I read his book and was blown away by it. I went to a crusade. He prayed for me, and I flew across the stage. To This day I don’t really know how to match that up with how disgusting these teachings are. But you know what? It doesn’t matter the word of God over experiences. All day every day no matter what. Thank you, Pastor Mike. You’re doing a great job you’re appreciated by many, including this still, charismatic guy who is so unbelievably ashamed that I ever viewed Benny through the lens I used to. What a gracious and patient God that as long as we don’t let go of his word, he gives us time to see our foolishness.
Thank you for sharing. I praise God He has brought you out of that deception!
Just know that Satan is capable of false signs and wonders and anybody can be deceived by the wolves. Study the Word of God for yourself, so you won't fall for the heresy. And an "experience" can come from Satan such as shaking, falling down, speaking in tongues, writhing around on floor, hysterical laughter and even supposed HEALINGS. Check out Andrew Strom's video on Kundalini Awakening
@@truthalonegirl Yeah I hear ya. Thankfully this was many years ago. The Word of God is the only trustworthy foundation I wouldn’t go anywhere near a BH crusade now.
Ironically it was Benny Hinn's attack on this exposé that brought me here. May this video spread throughout the world. Thanks Mike. Praying for you, brother.
If the love of God was truly in you why shouldn't you pray for Benny Hinn. Remember like any other human being he might have started off well but lost his way In words of wisdom not forgetting the story of when Mirian was struck by leprosy due to rebuking Moses. Remember touch not my anointed form ( Psalms 105:15). Let the lord deal with him and not you if you don't want judgment from God. Moses who was a servant of God was a man full of imperfections eg anger issues but despite all this God did not spare his judgment upon Miriam when she tried to speak against him. (Numbers 12:2).
Moses wasn't preying on the people. @@Sightandmind
Anointed? You think a lying deceiver is anointed? That's demonic, because it's saying that God is working through him to produce lies and deception.
@@SightandmindBenny Hinn is not anointed lmao and never was!!!
@@Sightandmind Psalms 105:15 is a scripture misused by some preachers to insulate them from scrutiny. However, the context of this is the miraculous history of Israel where God had a plan for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriachs of Israel, that even when they were few, God allowed no one to oppress them (1 Chron 16:19-21). This is not quoted in the New Testament. Jesus himself rebuked the Pharisees and Teachers of the law for their hypocrisy. These spiritual leaders were called out for they compromised God's word. The New Testament has so many passages to test the spirits and not to believe every spirit (This doesn't match the 'touch not my annointed' that is used out of context by preachers who don't want scrutiny now does it?). You cannot blindly follow a prophet or teacher of God just because they claim to be. That isn't what the bible tells us. Paul rebuked Peter publicly in Gal 2:13, and this was not really false teaching, just his actions dividing the church, and this allowed Peter to repent and avoid leading others astray. Paul also calls out real false teachers, Hymenaeus and Philetus, by name, for their false teaching that the resurrection had happened already, because it was so serious and was spreading like 'gangrene', destroying the faith of some 2 Tim 2:15-18. So many warnings to beware of false teachers. Don't let any person using Psalms 105:15/1 Chron 16:22 out of context stop you from following the many Scriptures warning you to beware of false teachers and telling you to test the spirits. Paul commended the Bereans for checking if what he said matched scripture. If Paul was open to scrutiny, why will others not be if they know they are backed by the truth of the Word?
Definitely sharing! Thank you for doing this Mike!
Mike, the girl I love told me that her church sent her home with a book written by Benny Hinn just a few days ago. Thank you for this long form video. I feel that God may have used you to bless us at the right time ❤
I was born in 82 so I was between 8 and 18 during the 90s. Not once during that entire time did I not catch Benny hinn while flipping through the channels and not instantly get the feeling he was not a good person. It amazed me that grown adults followed him. Now I'm 41 and I didn't even realize he was even still around that's how much I've ever cared about anything he was doing.
I was born the same year. My grandmother's television stayed on TBN 24 hours a day, and I felt the same thing about him and kenneth copeland.
Yeah I never heard of him until like, this past month to be honest. But I am shocked that he was allowed to get away with so much for so many years. Its shameful.
Born in 74...same thing.
Born in 89. Same thing.
Oh Benny! He got his crowd of fans who are ready into that kinda stuff 🚽💩🤡
I just want to say that there's a guy I grew up with, much loved by everyone who knows him, he's my oldest brother's age and he was diagnosed with cancer at around age 29 and the men in our church said "we should pray for him but no one should pray if they do not have faith" and they laid hands on him and prayed and the next time he went to the doctor they said there was no cancer. A truly believe in this one and we are not a "word of Faith" Church
Yeah but see, Mike doesn't deny that things like that happen. Neither do I, I go to a small Charismatic church and we have multiple testimonies of miraculous healings. But when someone like Benny lies about healing for money, he deserves to be called out.
Praise God!
Amen. Thanks for sharing the testimony.
I grew up in church circles where if Benny Hinn was ever mentioned it was usually in jest, because "everyone" knows how crazy and weird he is, and that he shouldn't be followed. But I had only seen tiny snippets at most. It was shocking to see how well documented his demented and cruel practices are. Going through stuff like this in-depth is rough, but so important. Appreciate the content.
My sister and I were supposedly healed of a lifelong disease at a Benny Hinn crusade in Flint Michigan back in 91 or 92. We were 20 and 21, I’m 53 now, still not healed whatsoever. It hurt our faith because we thought we must not believe enough. We believed so hard. It hurt my Dads faith for the same reason. It happened again at a Morris Cerillo crusade; not healed after being told we were. It’s so cruel to do this to people.
Edit: I’m a a Christian even now and my faith in Jesus’ healing power still strong. It has not changed my belief in His power, I just stopped putting so thought into being healed. I believe He can, and if He does it, great. I’m just more concerned about a relationship with Jesus.
Edit: I wanna clarify, when I say it hurt my faith, I don’t mean my faith in God. I mean it affected me because I felt my faith must not have been good enough or strong enough.
Happened at my old church all the time. They would even tell us we "lost" our healing because we didnt have enough faith.
@@melissap9416 So sorry, that’s terrible. What an abuse. I hope you give up any hurt from this experience to God, Who loves you. ❤
God bless you dear lady. I was also born in Flint although I haven't lived there for over 30 yrs.
@@klauge763 sad part is, I lived in Rochelle Illinois, we took a church bus to flint expecting a miracle 😢
The last time I checked the healer is God. He has the final say. The bible says trust no man
My husband and I went to a special event one night at a church. They said there was this amazing faith healer in town, and a bunch of my friends were going. I wasn't sure how I felt, but I thought I'd give it a try. This man starts running back and forth, swinging his coat, etc. People are falling all around me, and I just stood there in shock. He noticed. So he ran up to me and literally Smacked Me In The Forhead! 😂 I looked at my husband and said, "He just hit me. Why did he hit me?" I started laughing, and then everyone was staring. The guy was getting irritated. He tried it AGAIN! Then i was laughing so hard I was nearly in tears. He didn't smack me hard. It was just so strange. Now, my husband and I were both laughing because he had smacked me twice. This man looked so very upset. So we respectfully left. We laughed all night about it. It felt so ridiculous. He never even spoke a single Bible verse. Just talked about how God gave him so much money yada yada. Now it's an inside joke between my husband and I
😂😂😂
I wonder if anyone ever smacked him back 🤔 I probably would have lol!
You need to look up the video called Benny Hinn Kung Fu Master. I think you'll appreciate it 😄
I’m surprised he didn’t use your laughing to his advantage. Saying, look people she is filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. See the joy in her laughing out loud
My girl went to church and slapped!! 😂
I watched this full video TWICE already. It hit home. I went through all the motions. Laugh, cry, anger, pity, sadness. I have lost relationships and will lose more when they realize I denounce Benny Hinns ministry. We can reject anyone but not Hinn. My spouse's family are friends and recently became an annual conference host of the Hinns. You are correct about the followers. Even if people are not covetous and narcissistic, this doctrin will break them down and build them back up to be just like abusive leaders. Thank God for saving me out of this. I didn't understand why my mom grieved like she was loosing us until after I left WOF. It was like breaking out of a spell! I was in it from age 18 to my early 30s. It feels like I'm just now starting to actually live my life.
Yes I feel you
Me too, it was like a burden lifted. WOF is bondage! Jesus said His yoke is easy and his burden is light.
I loved Ps Benny for many years. Have not watched much of him over last 10-15 years. This video is a giant eye 👁️ opener. Scary. I thought he’d genuinely repented. Guess not. These videos are important. So thank you.
It’s only appropriate Mike uploads 4 hours of rebuking foolishness of April fools day.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Now that's really clever 😂
lol great comment 😂
Amen 🙌🏽😂
I’m so glad this video is still up. I have very personal experience with Benny Hinn’s corporate office and definitely with his CEO/CFO. My dad was head security at his headquarters in Grapevine, Tx. I was his CEO’s nanny/housekeeper. I saw things you don’t even want to know. I was also abused. I worked for them for 5 months, it felt like 5 years. My dad was wrongfully fired because I fell down the CEO’s stairs at his home while I was working. It was an answer to prayer for me, but what they did to my dad because of it was so wrong. My dad and another employee got the FBI involved, but I’m sure BH paid them off. Nothing happened. They definitely came out, but nothing came from it. I would love to put a video out about everything that I saw, what they did to me and my dad.
Please, if anyone still believes and follows Benny Hinn, STOP! Please.
Someone I know who has since died had all the evidence against him. All of it. My dad had some, passed it to him and he got even more. Hopefully after this, the FBI will do something.
You can interview my dad and I anytime. 😆
This comment needs more attention. That is terrible! A lot of people would be interested in what you and your dad have to say. God Bless.
I'm so sorry you went through that. I know that all his evil will be exposed fully. Jesus will reveal all. I will pray for you and your family. 1 Corinthians 3:13 "their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work."
What did you see?
Get together with BH’s nephew Costi Hinn. He worked for Hinn and is now going around telling the truth and warning the public about his uncle.
My buddy and I do a podcast and would love to hear what you have to say! Our email is on our channel.
I agree with you, I have personal experience with this man. I once drove for him at the National Women's Aglow conference in San Antonio in the 80's. He was extremely rude and after listening and trying to talk to him. and he completely ignored me, I gave up. He didn't exhibit a christian demeanor at all. I witnessed him disrespecting his wife also. Discernment came quickly for me, I never trusted this guy after that experience. You know a charleton when you see one. God speaks to your spirit. Funny now almost 40 years later I see your video...didn't know anything about it! Good job.
I’ve been in Aglow in Central Texas for many years. Are you still part of Aglow? I love the ladies but am sometimes concerned about some of the speakers chosen because they have the same mindset as Benny Hinn… sometimes we are too accepting of unbiblical teachings.
Spot on about asking an elderly woman with low finances, Mike. Hinn should be taking up a collection for her. Great video. I used to be a JW and I can see a false teacher from a mile away. As soon as I saw him swing his jacket, and people falling, I knew it was not from God. Thanks for exposing the wolf.
Not only did I learn a lot more about Benny Hinn in this video but I also saw how a man fights back his personal anger and keep a righteous anger while steady continuing with the recording... video was a blessing
I appreciated that so much.
The damage Benny Hinn has done in my own family is incalculable. Multiply that by many hundreds of thousands and I weep for the brokenness and horror he has left behind.
I'm sooo sorry, I am praying that God heals your family all from that traumatic experience💔❤ These lying serpents need to be brought down and it is my prayer that victims will seek to publicly share their stories on platforms because people need to see that real lives were harmed by this man. That these stories are true and the victims matter❤
I have a rule: if the alleged preacher has private jets and designer clothes, he's spending too much on his own comfort for me to donate in good conscious. Obviously money is fungible, but while $1000 would cover my family's groceries for a month, it wouldn't even cover one of his suits. Even if his theology was sound, I'd never give him a cent; instead, I would give to missionaries reaching unreached people groups or my local church.
Even if he hadn't been exposed in the end, I never would have given money to Ravi Zacharias because apparently he could afford to pay massage therapists a Louis Viton wallet + $500. What _couldn't_ his actual ministry had done if he'd cut his salary by 50 or 75%?
This video is SO disturbing on SO many levels!! Your righteous anger is completely justified! I feel sick watching this. Literally. I have chronic pain, and seeing how he assaulted these poor people is disturbing and appalling!!
I've never followed Benny myself as I have always thought he was cringy. But I'm sad for some friends of mine who followed him in the 90's. We have lost touch over the years, so I don't know if they still do or not. Regardless, I pray for ALL who follow this wolf.
If Benny was truly concerned for his own soul, he would absolutely repent. I definitely don't see it. BUT with God, all things are possible, so I will continue to pray for the repentance of ALL false teachers and those who exploit the flock. They absolutely need to be exposed! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your time and dedication, Mike! I'm fairly new to your channel and appreciate the work you are doing. I followed WOF teachings for many years. I am grateful to God for showing me the TRUTH.
Post edit: I forgot to mention that I appreciate you covering the "slay in the spirit " thing. I've always been curious about that. Now it makes sense, at least as it applies to Benny Hinn.
I know this video came out 9 months ago, but thank you, Mike for dedicating time to call this man out.
It's certainly sad, and anger inducing, to watch how he treats his fellow human beings. At one point a man appeared to be seizing (after having been "slain in the spirit") and while it's entirely possible he was merely a willing participant in the hypnotic effect that was created, it's still terrifying to think that he was actually in physical danger. I also noticed a lady on the floor at 4:14:57. Bottom right corner. She's not moving. Everyone else is in their seats, and she's just curled up. And Benny just keeps talking. Maybe she's fine, maybe she got tired from sitting in her seat. God only knows what really happened to her. All I know is that in a normal church, someone would check on her to ensure her safety.
Just a couple of observations. I'm glad that I was finally able to watch this video! I hope that Mike was able to enjoy lots of cuddles with his cat Moxie after he finished this video!
Also, here's all the thumbs up I wish I could give this video: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My mom passed last year February of urinary cancer and it was horrible. Just know Mike that I’m praying for you and as a son who lost his mother to cancer too, your rage is shared. Praying for you Mike.
I lost my mom to cancer too last year. I had to step away for a bit in that section
@@ShadeofSeven me too. Had to take a cool off break. No shame in that, but like Mike says, best not to let that anger lead to sin
The fact this guy even called down a curse on anyone should be a major red flag.
You mean just like the pope?
@@PB4U anyone that uses the name of the Lord to curse people are 100% red flags; haven’t heard what the pope said but if he did then yes, absolutely
@@PB4U the Pope cursed someone?
Search Papal curses against Bible distribution in the 18th century.
When Mike said « Benny Hinn you are going to hell » it hit hard. I never heard him make such statements
It struck me too. And I don’t think he was being flippant or judgmental.
@@JessPryce1No, absolutely not, Mike is very hesitant to even call anyone a false teacher. He is really feeling this one - I get it, I'm not even halfway through and my heart is broken for all the victims of this *very* false teacher/false prophet...💔
I've watched many, many hours of Mike's videos and have never heard him speak like that. He means what he says.
Me too!
If the prosperity doctrine is true, why doesn’t it work for Christians in third world countries
"This video is incredible! I wish I'd seen it years ago. I grew up in the church, and it's amazing to hear these insights confirmed. As someone with a recovery channel, I know how much work goes into this kind of research. Thank you for sharing this powerful message - it's truly helping people!"
Hello Pastor Winger/Mike Winger. My mother just found out that her father, (my grandfather) has gotten cancer. I don't what type of cancer it is, but it is not contained. Not only does he have cancer, but he is also a Black Hebrew Israelite believer. Please, although you may not see this, please pray for his salvation and for him to overcome his cancer.
I'm praying for his salvation in the mighty name of Jesus
Mike’s entire channel just proves tech hasn’t ruined long attention spans. Thanks Mike!
Benny telling the woman with pancreatic cancer «that looks good on you» as she expresses her fear and confusion was disgusting.
I took a bus to see Benny Hinn in Long Island for a Good Friday service years ago. God had led me to a chapter in Exodus weeks before. I also had been having headaches for months before I went. I was sitting in the auditorium and the smell of vinegar was so strong I could hardly stand it. I looked all around me to see if anyone had vinegar or pickled food. The woman next to me,in front of me couldn’t smell any vinegar. Benny got up and talked about Jesus on the cross being offered vinegar. Then he said he changed his message and that God had led him to a chapter in Exodus. It was the same chapter God led me to. Something happened to me and I got very, very tired as soon as I got back on the bus. I couldn’t stay awake. There was an overturned bus on the road and I could barely open my eyes to look at the cops and ambulances. The lady next to me asked me if I was ok. I mumbled yes, I’m just so tired.i never had another headache after that day. I think God healed the headaches.
