'With so many saying things about who Benny is and what his ministry represents, he felt that he should throw his hat into the ring and try to balance the scales when it comes to the legacy he will leave behind. Reaching out to Stephen Strang, Founder and CEO of Charisma Media, Hinn requested an interview in which he could tell his story, in his own words. "The real Benny Hinn wants to know the Bible better than I've ever known it," Hinn shared in an exclusive interview with The Strang Report. "When I talk to the Lord, my real cry is, 'Lord, I want to be accepted on that day.' That is all that really matters to me."' - Charisma News
So, the wolf wants his side of the story to be out there also? The devil knows the bible better than most Christians, so that point is irrelevant. If Hinn was saved, the conviction of the Holy Spirit for all of his spiritual abuse would be overwhelming. It also seems pretty obvious what is going on. Besides the Winger criticisms, Hinn has recently tried to pretend that he has now evolved. A short while back he claimed to have repented of the prosperity gospel but soon after he was back fleecing the flock as usual. Despite that, Hinn is now 71 years old. When you start to realize that your hourglass is running out, it is not surprising that perhaps he is now actually concerned about God. It is also easy however to pretend to repent of prosperity after you have built a 50-million-dollar empire. It is not our place to judge the eternal fate of anyone, but on that day? Benny Hinn will have quite a lot to answer for that he will not be able to filter through Steven Strang.
"Hinn is well aware of the criticisms levelled at him, one would have to be living in an unprecedented world of denial not to, and he just doesn't feel like people know the real him, who he is and what he truly believes. "They see the clips from the crusades. They see the clips from TV programs, and they see the old clips from 'This is Your Day,' and on and on, and they make up their own conclusion," Hinn says. However, when it comes to the past mistakes Hinn acknowledges during the interview with Strang, he admitted to carrying regrets from various times throughout his ministry. "I'm a human being. I've made mistakes. I remember Oral [Roberts] telling me he made mistakes by the truckloads. We all make mistakes. The two things I regret most in ministry, I was not too wise a number of times with prophecy"and then the other one is prosperity. And that's been a very difficult one for me," Hinn reveals. "For that"I ask people to forgive me, I'm just human, and [I] made mistakes," Hinn says. As man who is entering the twilight years of his ministry, for all the good and bad that came with it, Hinn is simply not willing to live in the past with his mistakes, but is instead focused on what is to come." - Charisma News
When Hinn stands before Christ, he will not be able to make the argument that Jesus is just living in the past. The real problem here is how Hinn frames this reveals that he is beyond insincere. Waving your suit coat to pretend God is healing people is not a "mistake." Lying to people that you have heard from God is not a "mistake." Manipulating scripture to manipulate people to give you their money by lying abut God is not a "mistake." Perhaps if he had a Zacchaeus moment as seen in the key verses, I might feel a bit differently but saying sorry after you have spent five decades lying and deceiving people who you make no effort to make amends to is very disingenuous. If Benny truly seeks forgiveness, he has to first repent. There is nothing here about repenting. He is simply asking for airtime to combat a recent documentary that was honest and damaging to what is left of his image. Now, let us turn to the second article found on Charisma today:
"In an exclusive interview with Stephen Strang, Benny Hinn addressed his two major regrets in regards to prosperity gospel and prophecy. "I'm a human being. I've made mistakes," Hinn says.
When it comes to ministry, Hinn says his first regret is about mishearing God when giving others prophetic words. "I was not too wise a number of times with prophecy," Hinn says. Hinn admits he brought harm to others' lives and to his own reputation by giving inaccurate prophecies. "Their prophecies were not really a prophecy. They went outside the borders of redemption," Hinn says. "There were times when I thought God had showed me something that He wasn't showing me. And I spoke it out." "Sadly, and I wish I could go back and fix it, but sadly there was some promises I gave that were not accurate or from the Lord. But who's perfect? And for that, of course, I asked people to forgive me. I'm just human and made mistakes like that," Hinn says." - Charisma News
In 1990, Benny prophesied that Fidel Castro would die sometime in the new decade. He gave himself a ten-year window to be considered "accurate." It was a good gamble as Castro's health was always reported as being poor. Despite the ten-year window, Hinn missed by another 16 years. This is not a "miss" or a "mishear." This is what is known as a lie. Once Hinn was exposed as false here, that should have ended his prophetic career, but he would continue for the next 20 plus years to pretend he was hearing from God. Again, the narrative that he was just a flawed human making mistakes is ridiculous. He built his false ministry upon these false prophecies to the tune of 50 million dollars. The crass glossing over of lying to people about what God was promising for them is staggering. Sure, I lied to people about what God was going to do for them but hey, who is perfect? In what world is this an acceptable defense? Of course, the fake journalist Strang did not bother to point any of this out.
