BENNY HINN’S CONFESSION: MY PAST PROSPERITY PREACHING NOW HAUNTING ME, GOD OFFENDED

| Renowned televangelist, Benny Hinn. |
*The gospel is
not for sale, blessings of God are not for sale
*Miracles are not
for sale, prosperity is not for sale
In
what appears to be a stunning turnaround, televangelist and prosperity
gospel proponent Benny
Hinn admits his past teachings were “grieving the Holy Spirit.”
On Facebook Live Monday, the preacher told an audience:
“I’m sorry to say that prosperity has gone a little crazy, and I’m correcting
my own theology.”
According to ChurchLeaders, an online Christian website, Hinn was quoted as saying that he’s “been
sick for a while” and now sees the Bible differently than he did 20 years ago.
Hear him: “The gospel is
not for sale, blessings of God are not for sale, miracles are not for sale,
prosperity is not for sale.” Hinn has previously taken steps to distance
himself from the prosperity
gospel, however, so some of his critics remain skeptical.
During “Miracle Crusades” that are broadcast on his This Is Your Day program, the charismatic preacher requests “seed money,” promising donors wealth, health, and other blessings. Hinn, 66, once asked followers for $2.5 million to cover ministry debt.
“Giving has become such a gimmick.”
Meanwhile, he lived what
his nephew, Costi
Hinn, describes as a greedy, lavish lifestyle. But on Monday, Benny Hinn was
again quoted as saying, “For the first time in my life”—that “it’s an offense
to the Holy Spirit to place a price on the Gospel.” He added, “I’m done with
it…and frankly, I don’t care what people think about me anymore.”
Hinn says people who
invite him to telethons “will not like me anymore” because he’s going to
“rebuke them.” He said, “If you are not giving because you love Jesus, don’t
bother giving. I think giving has
become such a gimmick. It’s making me sick to my stomach.”
