Blaspheme means to speak irreverently of God or to abuse sacred things. The term blasphemy may be generally defined as ‘defiant irreverence’. The term can be applied to such sins as willfully degrading things relating to God. This is not to be confused with Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31) which had to do with accusing Jesus Christ, while He walked on this earth, of being demon-possessed, instead of Spirit-filled. This particular type of blasphemy cannot be duplicated today, since Jesus no longer walks this earth. In light of defining blasphemy, I want to move on to these videos that need to be watched with dire attention:
Benny Hinn exposed by David Wilkerson
Benny Hinn blasphemes
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, BLASPHEMERS…..lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13 NKJV)
Benny Hinn forgets he is a mere man. Romans 3:4 tells us, “Let God be true, but every man a liar.” It is very dangerous spiritually to try and put God’s thoughts into submission to our reasoning. His ways are much higher than our ways. He is the Potter and we are the clay. You cannot put God into a box, but at the same time God will not operate outside the box of His Word.
Now to verify what I have revealed, I turn to the written Word of God, the Bible, that speaks with utter clarity, especially since it is a dire warning from the Son of God Himself:
“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. See, I have warned you about this ahead of time. So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it!” (Matthew 24:23-26 NLT)
The two videos above contain evidence that demands a verdict. I have followed David Wilkerson for decades, and this first video is the only time I have seen him call out a particular minister and reprove him with such fervor. The second video contains Benny Hinn condemning himself. Notice how he issues a curse in a creepy dark voice. The Spirit of God only comforts, exhorts and edifies (1 Corinthians 14:3). The Spirit of God doesn’t doesn’t pronounce a curse through a believer. Twelve places in the New Testament state that when Jesus left this earth, He took His place at the right hand of the Father where He will remain until His second coming (Acts 7:55–56; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Revelation 3:21; Matthew 22:44; Acts 2:33). We are also told that the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, for God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints (1 Corinthians 14:32-33). Since what you see in the video does not agree with this, you may wonder what drove these men to fall all over the place. Was it orchestrated? Was it a kundalini spirit of eastern religion? Was it another form of unclean spirit? The only thing I can 100% say for sure is that it was not from our LORD because the Word of God itself proves so. As Jesus said “It is written.”
These next four verses make it emphatically clear that Jesus will not step back on this Earth until the conclusion of His second coming:
“But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Holy Spirit) will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. (John 16:5-7 NKJV)
And He led them out as far as Bethany (Village on the Mount of Olives), and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. (Luke 24:50-51 NKJV)
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!” (Acts of the Apostles 1:11 NLT)
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem. And the Mount of Olives will split apart, making a wide valley running from east to west. Half the mountain will move toward the north and half toward the south. (Zechariah 14:4 NLT)
The last chapter of the Bible is a reminder of our blessed hope when Jesus will finally set foot back on this Earth (and not before) to set up His Kingdom:
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20 NKJV)
Twice Matthew records Jesus condemning those who seek a sign:
But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. (Matthew 12:39 NKJV)
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed. (Matthew 16:4 NKJV)
Notice how with Steven, Paul, and the Apostle John, Jesus never set foot back on this Earth. He either gave them a vision from heaven or took them up to heaven in the spirit:
Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. (Acts 9:3 ESV)
But he (Stephen), full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:55-56 ESV)
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. (2 Corinthians 12:2-4 ESV)
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” (Revelation 1:10-11 ESV)
My heart aches for all those who have been led astray by Benny Hinn. He has one of the largest followings of any televangelist worldwide. My heart aches not only for his followers but for Benny Hinn himself. He is not beyond hope. I pray that he repents while he still has a chance before he becomes one those that Jesus warms us about:
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:22-23 NKJV)
I finish by pleading with those who have read this article and know of someone who is hooked under the influence of Benny Hinn. Please, please, I beg of you, show them this article and pray with them. Spread it like wildfire. Here is the URL:

For anyone that condemns the writing of this article I have this question, “Why is it that ‘discerning of spirits’ is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1st Corinthians chapter 12? It boggles my mind how Benny Hinn is able to continue with his deception after all these years. I believe the root of the problem is that Christians look at, or listen to, other Christians as a guideline rather than abiding in the Word of God itself on how to live. May this article be a wake-up call that Christians need to set their smart phones down, turn off their TV’s, and pick up the Bible and devour it:
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV)
“If you abide in my Word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
(John 8:31-32 ESV)
