What is the power within that Benny Hinn speaks of? Is it the Holy Spirit or the
Lord Jesus Christ? Not at all! Because according to Benny:
ìChristians do not have Christ in their hearts.î 28 (emphasis mine)This statement is full on blasphemy as well. One of the tenets of basic
Christianity is Christ abiding in the heart of a person when he or she is born
again.
ìAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me
ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned.î John 15:4-6
ìThat Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being
rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with
all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.î
Ephesians 3:17-19
ìBehold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.î Revelation 3:20
Although he denies that Christ lives in the hearts of Christians, Benny Hinn
declares that everything he says under his anointing comes to pass.
ìBut any man and any woman that raises his or her hand in
blessing towards this ministry, I bless that man. I bless that
home! I bless that family. Under this anointing, the words I
speak cannot fall to the ground. Under this anointing,
everything I say, happens.î 29 (emphasis mine)The so-called anointing that shysters Benny Hinn, John Avazini, Jesse
Duplantis and the rest of the Apostles of Greed claim to be endowed with is
unique to say the least. As already pointed out in Chapter 31, the title Christ
means ìthe anointed Oneî. The apostles were not anointed ones, but all of these
preachers claim that by donating to their ministries you too will receive or come
under ìtheir anointingî! The only scriptural reference to anything such as this is
when Simon the sorcerer wanted to buy the power of the Holy Ghost!
