When the disciples were given the power from on high, it was so that they could
be witnesses of the Lord and salvation through Him, not so they could become
some sort of religious showmen!
ìBut ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.î Acts 1:8
The Day of the Dead
Pastor Benny Hinn also moves in the realm of necromancy ñ communicating
with the dead. The LORD calls this practice an abomination.
ìWhen thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of
those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that
useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a
witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a necromancer.î Deuteronomy 18:9-11
By his own admission, one of the greatest influences on Benny Hinn was the
now deceased faith healer Kathryn Kuhlman. Hinn claims that he has seen
Kathryn Kuhlman in visions, and he is only one of a few that has the keys to the
lock on her mausoleum. He also makes regular visits to the grave of Pentecostal
Aimee McPherson.
ìHinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhlman's grave
and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it.
He also visits Aimeeís grave where he says: ëI felt a terrific
anointing...I was shaking all over...trembling under the
power of Godí...ëDear God,í I said, ëI feel the anointing.í...I
believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body.î 41Like Benny Hinn and Paul Crouch, Kathryn Kuhlman was also a full-blown
ecumenist.
ìNothing thrilled Kathryn more than to have thirty or forty
Catholic clergyman, especially if they wore clerical collars or,
better yet, cassocks, sitting behind her while she
ministered.î 42
