He cannot heal anyone. He is a fake. Healing is a type of sign gift of the Holy Spirit. Since the apostles communicated primarily through oral tradition they needed these gifts to authenticate their message (2Thess.2:15) These gifts were foundational gifts needed in the first century, and were characterized by certain qualifications that can not be met today. (Acts 1:21, 22) Paul also tells us that some gifts were cease. (I Cor. 13:8) He also referred to miracles in the past tense. Sign gifts are tongues, healing, interpretation of tongues and miracles. Now that we have the Word in its entirity, we no longer need the sign gifts to authenicate the message. Sign gifts are like scaffolding to aid in the construction of the building. Once the buiding is complete the scaffolding comes down. Why was this the scaffolding? So our faith is not misplaced into others, like Benny Hinn.

There are no validated healings done by Benny Hinn. Many organizations have requested proof from him and have been promised that he would send it, however, he never did. A good book to see the other side of Hinn is, "The Confusing World of Benny Hinn" by Fisher and Goedelman.
Hinn has several stories about his own childhood and his own upbringing and those stories do not agree. Why would you believe him when he merely "says" that he has healed someone? Dateline did an exposé on him a couple of years ago and the documented people he said he healed and they were not. One lady died two months after he said he had cured her of cancer.

Benny Hinn does not heal people, he is just a vessel that God works through. Despite, all the people who have wrote in and said he is a fake. Benny Hinn is a real prophet of God. I will guarantee that if you will go to one those crusades that he holds you will feel the Presence of God there. The Presence of God validates who he is. If he is a fake then the Presence of God would not show up. People lets make good sense of this. 2 million people do not show up for a healing crusade unless God does it. There is not a false prophet in the world that could draw that many people, nor will there ever be. Lastly, you can pray for people and God will heal them. This is according to His Word in Mark 16:15......"and they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall become well". It is not based on who you are, but belief in God's Word. God's Word says you can lay hand on the sick and they shall recover. I have been doing it for years.

Are you a born again Christian. If you are you can heal by faith.
James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
NIV
It isn't a special person that can heal. It is a spirit filled person. One who prays and believes. Jesus said to the disciples when he calmed the storm on the boat. That they would do these things and more.
A christian is filled with the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead and out of the tomb. That is the power in Jesus name that we have.
be blessed in Jesus.

Hey if you had the power to heal, would you charge people to come and see you or would you silently go to the hospitals and heal people? This is a fake ministery.

Jesus is the one who heals people. I guess the people who have written so far are godless people. You can't heal anybody. You probably cause more problems than you fix, like a lot of people.

Don't worry... Benny Hinn can't heal people, either.
