Benny Hinn Question empowered by Jesus Christ for Miracles, or not?

In Defense of Benny Hinn

First let me begin by saying that Benny Hinn of Benny Hinn Ministries is anointed by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ to lift up the name of the healer and that healer is Jesus Christ alone. Only Jesus Christ by the power of His Holy Spirit can heal and Benny Hinn has always taught that. For over 25 years Benny Hinn has reminded the people that he is not the healer, however many Christians who are in unbelief or bitterness like to try to make Benny Hinn the healer. Many of these same people then like to accuse Benny Hinn of some guilt or wrong doing when someone is not healed at a crusade event.

This is ridiculous since Benny Hinn is just a man Jesus Christ is using. Benny Hinn at each miracle healing crusade leads the people into worship and praise of Jesus. Benny continually reminds the crowds that they must look to Jesus and not to Benny Hinn for their miracle. In fact during most of Benny Hinn's healing services, Benny has repeatedly warned that if they are looking to him instead of Jesus they may not receive their miracle. Benny will also say, "You did not come to see Benny Hinn." Then Benny would say "I wouldn't cross the street to see or hear me, but you came to praise and receive from Jesus to Jesus Christ alone be the Glory."

Friends the only purpose of the miracle crusade events is to help large groups of believers come together into worship and praise and to ask Jesus to move among his people by His Holy Spirit. Its groups of people of all backgrounds and cultures coming into prayer, praise and faith for miracles in Jesus' Mighty and Wonderful name. These events also help those who are not yet believers but are seeking, to have a place to come and hear the gospel without having to go through some local church. Some of these people would never set foot in a church but are willing to go to these events. It's a place Jesus uses to meet those that are seeking but have not yet committed themselves to him.

Brothers and sisters the fact of the matter is this, if God decides not to heal a person then this is up to God and not up to us. These people who accuse Benny Hinn as being false because not all are healed is foolish. These people who have said Benny Hinn is the healer have not told you the truth. There are hundreds of video clips where Benny Hinn states over and over that only Jesus Christ can heal. Benny Hinn has said this even on the Larry King show in times past. Those who say, or imply that Benny Hinn is the healer at these miracle crusades have not just misrepresented Benny Hinn, but have also misrepresented Jesus Christ. These people who misrepresent Benny Hinn do it either because of ignorance or because of the lack of honest and serious research. Other reasons include false rumors, false witness, slander and of course false or erred reporting. Last but not least some people who misrepresent Benny Hinn do so intentionally with malice and forethought to further their own agenda.

Now in respect to those who do not get healed at a Benny Hinn crusade I would like you all to consider the following. Jesus according to the scripture account did very few miracles in his own hometown. (See Matthew 13:57-58) The reason he did not was because of their unbelief. Question: from a Christian point of view should a Christian believe on Jesus Christ if Jesus did not heal all because some had unbelief? Shall we condemn Jesus Christ for not healing all in his ministry while on earth? Read the scripture from Matt 13:57-58 and think about it. The best any man of God can do is give a testimony of Jesus' love and forgiveness and quote the promises Jesus made. But Jesus alone decides who he heals and why. He alone knows why in those cases when Jesus decides not to heal a person. It's Jesus' decision not Benny Hinn's. Now I would like to remind us all with a word from the Word.

The scripture declares, "All have fallen short of the Glory of God, not one does good, NO …. NOT EVEN ONE." However Jesus because of his great love paid it all on the Cross. He knew in advance about our pride, our sins, our arrogance, our religious pride, our hate and all the rest. Nevertheless in his mercy and love he paid our price in full. Call on him in the privacy of your own home. May he touch you in a way that convinces you he is the way, the truth and the life. Then may Jesus protect you with the power of his Holy Spirit from all self righteous Christianity. The real Jesus says just come, it already done. Come as you are. False Christianity say, DO, DO, or else.

Benny Hinn's past erred words of knowledge

Before we continue I wish to state to all reading that I do not endorse Benny Hinn's errors that have occurred in respect to some of his prophetic words of knowledge. It is clear Benny has erred in this over the years. It is also clear he has received many prophetic words of knowledge that are correct. However regardless of Benny Hinn's mistakes I fully endorse the work of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ being done through Benny Hinn Ministries and the Miracle Crusades. Benny Hinn is a son and a servant of Jesus Christ and I pray that Jesus Christ would deliver Benny Hinn of any and of all spirits that may be hindering him, or oppressing him. This includes those persons he works around as well as any other, family, friends, pastors, teachers or any hidden thing he may not be aware of even in himself.

For those Christians reading now that believe Benny Hinn cannot be of God because of his past mistakes then I ask you this, have you sinned or fallen short in the last seven days from God's point of view? Are your sins, less or greater than Benny Hinn's? Are you saved by grace, or by the perfect keeping of the Law of Moses? If then it is by grace then why would you consider Benny Hinn not of God because of his past failures? Some of you might say well it's different because Benny has given false prophecy, so he is a false prophet. Well I say Benny Hinn has given erred words of knowledge unintentionally in his zeal. Either way you look at it whether false prophet or false words of knowledge, in Jesus' grace it is sin that is forgivable.

Some have said according to the law a false prophet must be stoned to death. Yes under the law from the Old Testament this would be true. It would also be true for adultery, fornication, false witness and a host of other sins. So if anyone among you reading today wishes Benny Hinn to be stoned to death in accordance with the Law of God, rather than correction in and by God's grace, then what you have done is to put yourself back under the law and in doing so condemned and stoned yourself. Jesus taught and commanded his disciples to judge not and to love one another. To break this command of Jesus is just a deadly in the law of Christ as false prophecy would be under the Law of God. Which is greater my friends the Law of Moses, or the Law of Christ Jesus? Question: Who reading here wants to be under the Law and fallen from grace? I will tell you, it is those who choose to stand in Jesus' place as a judge in the law rather than a minister of his grace. Friends pray asking Jesus Christ to correct Benny Hinn with his love, his mercy and in his grace and you will receive the same. Judge Benny Hinn by the law rather than by grace and you will also receive the same.

Matt 7:21-23

(21) Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many works of power? (23) And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"

Many Christians who attack Benny Hinn like to use the scripture from Matthew 7 above, they like to focus on verse 22 in respect to power, such as casting out demons and the like. This I find this quite foolish since Jesus never once in this scripture denies if they did miracles in his name, he just states he never knew them. So technically even if Jesus was going to deny knowing Benny Hinn someday and command him to depart, there is nothing in this scripture that states the miracles were not real. Also prophecy in this scripture (Verse 22) has to do with the Gospel message. In the book of Revelation it states that Jesus is the spirit of prophecy and in Corinthians its states that prophecy is for believers, not for unbelievers. Remember, tongues are given as a sign for unbelievers, but prophecy is for believers. The entire word of God is considered prophecy and when you preach the gospel, it is prophesying in his name.

Last but not least I would like to point out the latter part of verse 21, which most attackers of Benny Hinn seem to ignore; it is, "but the ones who do the will of my Father in Heaven." What is the will of his Father in Heaven? Well Jesus told us what the Father's will is, he said; "Judge not, love one another, forgive and pray for your enemies and so forth. So regardless of Benny Hinn mistakes or your point of view on Matthew 7:22, verse 7:21 applies to all Christians not just to those working miracles in Jesus name. If you cannot obey verse 21 which commands us to obey his Father's teaching about judging, then how are you any better than those described in verse 22? It's a double edged sword brother's and sisters so let Jesus Christ be judge, lest he say to you as well depart from me you worker of lawlessness I never knew you.

Acts 13:38

38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him every one that believes is free from everything from which you could not be free by the Law of Moses. 40 Beware, therefore, unless there come upon you what is said in the prophets: 41 'Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I do a deed in your days, a deed you will never believe, even if one declares it to you."

Notice above in verse 39 concerning the Law of Moses. To the mockers and scoffers of Benny Hinn reading today I suggest you read verse 41 above with humbleness and extreme care. Then I suggest you pray asking God in Jesus' name that He would never apply this particular word to your life.

Question: What is the deed that God declares the scoffers and mockers would never believe? How about one of them being God using an imperfect man to work His perfect work of mercy and grace? A man Jesus Christ uses to display his miracle power and his love in spite of that man's personal weakness, or failures. How about a man like Benny Hinn? Never some of you might say, well then the scripture is surely true, for verse 41 says a deed you will never believe, even if one declares it to you.

Warnings about false Christianity from Apostle Paul

Apostle Paul said the following about false Christianity: "They have a form of religion, but they deny the miracle power of God." In other words false Christian churches will look Christian and to the average layman sound Christian, but they will have had NO tangible experience with the Holy Spirit of God. Apostle Paul also said, "Those that do not have the Spirit of Christ, are not his." Paul in another portion of scripture said, "I did not come to you with eloquent words of men, but rather in fear and trembling and in the demonstration of the spirit, that your faith would not depend on man's wisdom, but rather in the power of God."

Jesus said, "If the blind leads the blind, will they not both fall in the pit?" Question: Did David Koresh do miracles to deceive his followers, did Jim Jones? NO!!! If they had they would have had millions of followers not hundreds. There was never a miracle in these cults, David Koresh and Jim Jones deceived by twisting the scriptures. These two deceivers were both very legalistic and controlling type of teachers.

They used the Bible in such a way in order to control their followers with guilt and shame, rather than teaching them about Jesus' increasing love and grace. The lack of understanding Jesus' grace covenant and his love will almost always produce teachers and persons that are legalist and self righteous. These legalistic teachers if not corrected by God, will in the worse case scenario, become cultic and possibly deadly. False Christianity always says, DO, DO, DO or else. But the REAL JESUS CHRIST always says come, just come it's already done. The real Jesus says, Fear Not come as you are and I will give you rest.

Now continuing on Miracles……

 

[Jesusmyfriend]

* Question:

When was the last time you heard of a Jewish Rabbi reporting a healing miracle in Israel? When was the last time you heard of a healing miracle by a teacher of Islam?

Now the point I would like to make is, why hasn't God allowed the other erred Christian denominations to manifest false miracles? Why hasn't God allowed the same deceptive miracles to the Muslims, or to Rabbi's in Israel? I mean if Satan could do false Miracles through Benny Hinn as many have accused, then I would think it would be a piece of cake for Satan to do it in the name of anyone. Think about it, when was the last time you heard of a person being completely healed of terminal cancer, or aids in a Satanic Temple. Let's get real everybody; God gave you common sense didn't he? Think about it.

Now, I agree Benny Hinn has made many errors outright doctrinally where he has no out and no excuse. But I have also heard others things said about Benny that were nothing more than slander, or sound bites that were blown out of proportion, or out of context. Benny Hinn is a man saved by grace, growing in grace and making mistakes along the way. I am sure the Lord Jesus intends to grow Benny up and correct him in his erred doctrine.

I also know Benny understands grace correctly for former sins, but sometimes Benny has a legalistic Galatians mentality (Galatians 3:1-29) in respect to grace covering future sins. Benny sometimes forgets Jesus anoints him by election and grace for the sake of the people listening and coming to the crusades. It has nothing to do with Benny Hinn, or Benny Hinn being perfect. I also know Benny does not completely understand why so many people fail to understand the gifts of the spirit. One of the reasons is because Benny himself has misunderstood some of the gifts and Jesus' purposes for them. What is sometimes foolish to men is not foolish to God especially if God uses some of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit to stumble the religiously prideful, this in order to keep them away until they humble themselves. It also serves also to reveal their hypocrisy and pride. Sometimes Jesus even reveals double mindedness with gentleness to the very servant Jesus uses to speak about Miracles. God had Isaiah walk naked for 3 1/2 years teaching truth that at the time, Israel did not want to hear. Why did God do that, to stumble the proud and arrogant of Israel of that time so they would reject the message and be judged. Jesus Christ sat with sinners and prostitutes for the same purpose while on earth, to stumble the proud. God in not interested in your judgments, God has already pronounced you guilty. Then Jesus said send me and Jesus came and died for you and your sins.

Now having said that, I also say this Benny Hinn has been called of Jesus Christ since he was very young. Benny is called to evangelize and speak on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ's Wonderful healing presence. Jesus Christ confirms that call with signs, wonders and Healing Miracles for the sake of Jesus' Wonderful Gospel. Benny Hinn is an anointed man of Jesus Christ, but Benny himself is far from perfect. Jesus Christ's power for healing is at every healing crusade for those persons LOOKING TO JESUS …. NOT to Benny Hinn. Don't ever go to a Benny Hinn Crusade looking for Benny Hinn, go to these crusades looking to Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Benny Hinn is nothing more than a servant and a son Jesus is using by grace.

Continuing in respect to Benny's shortcomings from the PAST……

Regardless of Benny Hinn's mistakes, Jesus Christ has anointed Benny and is using him mightily around the world. It's called amazing grace saints.

Question for all

Is there anyone here reading this page today that has never made a doctrinal mistake? If you can say you have never made a doctrinal mistake, then I say we should take you to the Sea of Galilee so we can all watch you walk on water

Divisions within denominations

The divisions in many Christian denominations are usually due to foolish pride, this usually stemming from secondary doctrinal issues. It's important to discern and take a stand when you are sure about erred doctrine. But it is also important to be careful how you hear. You must research for yourself before repeat a charge of heresy or false doctrine. You need to hear it from the source not a second or third hand sources. Not only that you need to understand it in the context or setting it was given. Sound bites from secondary sources are almost always for the purpose of slander not truth.

You cannot trust second hand accounts from anyone. Now in Benny Hinn's case he should not get so defensive when someone calls him on his Holy Spirit machine gun remark, and Hank Hanegraaff should not throw the baby out with the bath water because he himself has never experienced the tangible anointing of the Holy Spirit. ( That statement comes from Hank Himself, in the last chapter of His Book "Christianity in Crisis" )

Now I personally know people who were healed BY JESUS CHRIST at a Benny Hinn Crusade in spite of Benny Hinn. The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is working through Benny Hinn Ministries for a reason. Is it because Benny Hinn is perfect? NO WAY, in fact the Lord Jesus may have allowed him to make a bunch of mistakes doctrinally just so the church could debate it and EVENTUALLY grow together through it and eventually into unity and maturity. But in order for this to happen in the fullness there must be restoration to the teachers Jesus Christ has called. Also there needs to be some fresh humility on all sides of this issue. These called teachers must also be as anointed with the Holy Spirit for their appointed gift, as Benny Hinn is in respect to his call to evangelize.

A good example of what I am talking about is an incident that occurred between Peter and Apostle Paul. Peter the anointed man and disciple of Jesus Christ. Then later the Apostle Paul who once persecuted the entire Christian church, rebuked and corrected Peter publicly. I am sure Peter would have just ignored Paul if it had not been for the Holy Spirit bearing witness to Peter that Paul had indeed corrected him with Jesus' authority.

My point is this, there are anointed teachers of Jesus Christ in training around the world and God wants to use them to bring balance and correction to the evangelists that have made mistakes and of course to the entire body of Christ.

But first these called out teachers of Jesus Christ must know for sure and be aware that Jesus has indeed called these men, such as Benny Hinn and Rodney Browne, this call in spite of their personal mistakes. Just as Paul realized Peter was called, and Peter realized that Paul was called, even though they had some serious disagreement at one time.

So in order to teach with God's anointing and power, you must be willing to be taught and re taught by the Holy Spirit and understand God does not use perfect men but yielded men. You must also understand it is by Jesus' Grace and Mercy that Jesus uses any of us. Jesus had to fix a cut off ear once; the "upon this rock" kingdom kid blew it pretty good that day. Nevertheless Jesus knew Peter's heart in spite of Peter's great screw ups.

Once a person really understands this in their heart then Jesus can anoint his called out teachers or others with the same power. This so when corrections are needed, the teacher or person called of Jesus for this can speak and make doctrinal correction with the Holy Spirit confirming it with great power. This so the other person can receive it with zero confusion. Just like in the case of Peter and Paul. The Word and the Spirit of Jesus Christ bearing witness with great manifest power to confirm the truth.

I pray that all men that are called as teachers in the Lord Jesus would seek the Lord Jesus about all these things. I also hope you will ALL SEEK JESUS about these things, not just teachers.

Remember to take into consideration all the things I said in the beginning. Remember there are lots of churches with seriously erred doctrine. You need to ask yourself why Jesus Christ has not allowed Satan to do any false miracles in these other erred churches. Is Benny Hinn's doctrine more evil, or erred than theirs?

I hope you see my point, I'm not trying to lift up Benny Hinn, and Benny has made lots of mistakes. But I am lifting up what the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is doing at these miracle crusades in spite of Benny Hinn.Praise Jesus Christ for his increasing grace towards Benny and any believer.

Pray for Benny Hinn and seek the Lord Jesus to anoint you for his call and purpose for your life. Let me correct myself, your first call is to know Jesus as Lord and as your friend. Then learn to sit in your Heavenly Father's lap as a child without fear, trusting his grace. Then you can say to your Father, Here I am send me.

ERRED WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE

If you are a minister or pastor who has erred in any word of knowledge then refrain from speaking any other word of knowledge publicly until God has corrected and instructed you on why your previous error occurred. This also goes for all who prophecy in the name of Jesus Christ or proclaim thus says the Lord. This goes for public ministry as well as local churches or fellowships. The Holy Spirit never makes mistakes, but we do if we get ahead of the Holy Spirit and get caught up in our own zeal.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit will come upon a man or woman to prevent them or protect them from speaking an erred word. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you it may also be to correct you or getting ready to tell you no, or wait. So wait and listen. Don't assume the Holy Spirit wants you to speak a word just because the Holy Spirit comes upon you, especially if its just seconds right before or after a word is given to you. The Holy Spirit will not just come upon you with power to give you a specific word, but he will first fill you with great supernatural peace and then he will completely quiet your mind for many minutes before he speaks anything to you.

There will be at least two minutes of perfect quiet and peace in your mind before the Holy Spirit gives you a word. If there are sounds from worship, or distractions of any type it will not matter, for if the Holy Spirit is about to give you a true word of knowledge, he will take over and will quiet everything before he speaks that word to you. He does this so when that word comes you will know perfectly it is from the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. If you get in a hurry or if your mind is racing with thoughts before the Holy Spirit has quieted it, then wait. Do not be in a hurry to speak any prophetic word of knowledge instantly. Also if a word comes during ministry in a public setting and it's the first time you have heard this word, then wait for further confirmation from God.

It is better to leave the stage or pulpit to a private place to get further confirmation in prayer before speaking, than it is to speak a word of knowledge too soon. Do not rush to give that word, for God wants you to test that word to make sure you know it's from him before you give it publicly. Those of you that do this will find that God will mature you very quickly as soon as he knows you will wait before you speak any word.

People go to his events in droves, and leave unhealed. He's more than happy to take their money though. He's a con artist.

Benny Hinn Question empowered by Jesus Christ for Miracles, or not?

In Defense of Benny Hinn

First let me begin by saying that Benny Hinn of Benny Hinn Ministries is anointed by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ

Its not much of a defense when you at the very beginning stipulate his validity as an assumption in your argument.

Also, you are using controverting the Trinity with the italicized, to which I say "No".

Benny Hinn's past erred words of knowledge

Before we continue I wish to state to all reading that I do not endorse Benny Hinn's errors that have occurred in respect to some of his prophetic words of knowledge. It is clear Benny has erred in this over the years. It is also clear he has received many prophetic words of knowledge that are correct.

Friends pray asking Jesus Christ to correct Benny Hinn with his love, his mercy and in his grace and you will receive the same. Judge Benny Hinn by the law rather than by grace and you will also receive the same.

Benny Hinn denies the Trinity and sola fide. I don't care about anything else sir. Historically by deffinition he is neither a Christian or an Evangelical in any since of the historically understand of either term.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

Benny Hinn says the Trinity is made of 9 persons . . . recants saying "oh that was foolish, I am sorry" then states that there is 6 of them.

I know people who have been healed at Hinn's crusades as well . . . but what of Matt 7?

Matt 7:21-23
21 " Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 " Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you;DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
NASU


Here you have miracle workers and exorcists and prophets going to HELL . . . and those did such things IN JESUS NAME!

Miracles and such have NEVER been the standard of measure of whether a person is anointed or a man of God or anything of the sort . . . miracles are a manifestation of Gods mercy and grace which means that THEY ARE UNDSERVED. You cannot judge a mans mettle based on these.

Biblically there are these 3 areas of judgement

1. Content/Doctrine
2. Character
3. Fruit

and fruit is VERY subjective . . . but if you have fruit, but no character or doctrine . . . the MAN is not necessarily a man of God . . . even if the Lord works through him.

Remember Balaam? A pagan prophet FOR HIRE . . . a consorter with DEMONS who prophesied FOR MONEY? God used him to bless His people and later SLEW HIM!

Please be careful . . . Benny's doctrine is not sound and MOST of it has to do with his osmosis of those he calls his company.

 

[Jpark]

Never mind.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

Yes, I am aware of this. His doctrine is not sound, but his healing is genuine.

Well, I know of one person who was healed @ a Hinn crusade . . . and he is a real believer. So I believe that some of the healings are real . . . but that is not a mark of anointing nor favor . . . nor something to defend him for. Healing can come through anyone . . . manifestations have never been the determining factor of someones character or the legitimacy of a ministry.

 

[Jpark]

Never mind.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

It's because the Holy Spirit comes upon him only during the healing. After the healing is accomplished, the Holy Spirit leaves him and he becomes a ordinary person again. Of course the Holy Spirit checks and sees if his heart is clean and if he repented before coming upon him.

. Of course the Holy Spirit checks and sees if his heart is clean and if he repented before coming upon him

No brother, the Spirit works whether there is repentance or a right heart or not.

See Samson, filthy sinner, again and again going beyond what God had said no to

Again see here

Matt 7:21-23
21 " Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 " Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you;DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
NASU


Does this sound like these people's hearts were right? Notice Jesus' words I NEVER KNEW YOU (IOW even when u were doing things in my name, and I even showed up, I NEVER KNEW YOU). That is not a repentant and clean heart brother . . . it is the EXACT OPPOSITE . . . they were not even believers!

Doesn't that contricadict itself, that statement?

well anyway, this is what the Bible teaches about persons like him.
2 Cor 11:13-15 "These people are FALSE APOSTLES. They are DECEITFUL WORKERS who DISGUISE THEMSELVES AS APOSTLES OF CHRIST. But I am not surprised! SATAN DISGUISES HIMSELF AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. So it is no wonder that his Servants also DISGUISE THEMSELVES AS SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. In the end they will get the Punishment their Wicked Deeds deserve."


so then how can you REALLY be sure of where his healing are coming from if his doctrine is not sound? to me it sounds even scary to tread there.

Yes, I am aware of this. His doctrine is not sound, but his healing is genuine.

Balaam is a good case in point. Pagan prophet for hire, worshiper of demonic idols . . . God uses him to bless and even prophesy over His people and then later kills them.

Paul says this

Phil 1:15-18
15 Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; 16 the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; 17 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice.
NASU


So there is a real sense in which God shows up in some cases merely to honor the use of His name. I dont think that God will tell someone who truly repents and reaches for Him at a Hinn crusade:

"Sorry, this is a Benny Hinn crusade, I cant save you here . . . ask me outside" or "sorry I cannot heal you inspite of your honest heart because the forum here is with Benny . . ."

I think that He is gracious and full of mercy and He has exalted His name that even in false pretense when one says "Jesus!" that God will find the place of mercy to save and touch the ignorant . . . but again this is not a stamp of approval upon the one through which this comes . . . it is an exaltation of God's glory and mercy not the mans character that is in view . . . as it is with all the manifestations of the Spirit.

Judge the man by doctrine thru the content of his teachings . . . judge the man by character with how he handles money and how he treats his family, but never make manifestations a standard.

Earthly father Or Heavenly Father?

Well, that's what my father told me. If Benny Hinn doesn't repent, the Holy Spirit won't come upon him. My father tells me that the prophecies that Hinn made were from his thinking.

Greetings again,

Again, i ask you the same question as above?

My father told me.

So then God shows up at those crusades? even if it not led by the Holy Spirit?(assumedly)
