Benny Hinns Greatest Hits Misses
Some of Hinn's biggest lies and false prophecies

Hinn has told so many lies and made so many false prophecies it's hard to know where to begin. I'll highlight of few of his most outrageous examples here and below I'll provide links to several more comprehensive sites.

Hinn has a long history of false prophecies. On December 31st 1989 at his church in Orlando Fla. Hinn, while speaking to his congregation, went into a kind of a trance, appearing to be "drunk in the spirit." and spoke the following "words from the Lord"

"The Spirit tells me - Fidel Castro will die - in the 90's. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God."

As of today (January 2010) Castro seems to be in pretty good health for a corpse.

The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid 90's, about '94-'95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. But He will not destroy it - with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed."

As of today (January 2010) homosexuals still seem to be a part of many communities in America. If God had destroyed any of them with fire, I'm pretty sure it would have been in the newspapers.

"The Spirit of God tells me -- an earthquake will hit the east coast of America and destroy much in the 90's."

I've Googled and Googled but I can't seem to find any information on a destructive east coast earthquake during the 90's.

These are just a few of the "prophecies" Hinn made that evening. When he was finished he said, "I'd like to know what I said. I was totally gone."

I'll give him that one, he was "totally gone"!

A more recent example of a false prophecy occurred on April 2, 2000 when Hinn claimed on TBN that the Lord had revealed to him that Israel would soon sign a peace treaty with Syrian dictator Hafez Al-Assad. Hinn of course tied this prophecy to money by declaring that this would be a sign that the of the wealth of the wicked would soon be released unto the righteous.

After Assad died on June 10, 2000 (with no peace treaty forthcoming) Hinn claimed again on TBN that "...it was God's plan for it not to happen, really."

You don't say!

April 2nd 2000 was a huge night for Benny on TBN. After the Assad prophecy he held forth with this whopper

"I believe - here this, hear this! I believe, that Jesus, God's Son, is about to appear physically, in meetings and to believers around the world, to wake us up! He appeared after His resurrection and He is about to appear before His second coming! You know a prophetess sent me a word through my wife, right here, and she said 'Tell your husband that Jesus is go'n to physically appear in his meetings.' I am expecting to see, I am telling you that - I feel it's going to happen. I, I, I'm, I'm careful in how I am saying it now, because I know the people in Kenya are listening. I know deep in my soul, something supernatural is going to happen in Nai - in Nairobi Kenya. I feel that. I may very well come back, and you and Jan are coming, to - Paul and Jan are coming to Nairobi with me, but Paul, we may very well come back with footage of Jesus on the platform!"

The "prophetess" Hinn mentioned was a woman named Ruth Ward Heflin. At another time Hinn claimed that she had prophesied over him when he was younger and "everything she said came to pass"

Would you like to see the Lords response to Hinn and Heflin's prophecy

Math 24:23-27
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 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. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

What kind of prophet directly contradicts the words of Jesus?

Could the scriptures be any clearer? Jesus might as well have said "When Benny Hinn says I'm appearing in Kenya, don't believe it".

As a post script to this story I should tell you that not long after this, on Sept. 15th 2000 Ruth Heflin died of breast cancer. She had claimed that the Lord had healed her and told her to stop her treatment.

I don't know where Ruth Heflin is spending eternity but I do know that I would not want to face the Lord Jesus Christ with a false prophecy like that fresh on my lips.

Math 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Who do you suppose the Lord is speaking of here? Is it just possible that Hinn fits the category of one who prophesies in the name of the Lord but doesn't really know him?

How can you tell a true prophet from a false one

Deuteronomy 18:20-22
If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message that Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

Don't be afraid if this man!

1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

You, my friend, are responsible before God to test every spirit to determine if it's from God. The way we do that is by comparing what the spirit is saying to the Word of God.

Jer 5:30-31
An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end? NKJV

What will you do?

Rev 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
