I really thank Benny Hinn is one of the greatest bible teacher of all time. His teaching is powerful and anointed. What do you think of his bible teaching, and his healing crusades.

I have been to a couple of his crusades and know people who have been healed by God working through him. He is very anointed and God uses him in a great way. I enjoy his teachings as well. I have been touched from his teachings and his healing ministry.

Both wheat and tares have always had the anointing when proclaiming the gospel in the name of Jesus.
Even Judas went out preaching, teaching, healing and casting out devils. Yet Judas, it turns out, was not called according to the purpose of God for His children.
I have heard some of the teaching you reference but it pales in comparison, anointing and revelation to the sermons and teaching of William Branham or even Charles Finney and Watchman Nee.
The rain we are told falls on the just and the unjust. If you, as I, have received a touch and some understanding from a crusade it is well and good. But do not stop there, go higher.
The true teacher is the spirit of Christ abiding in you. With the proper teaching and revelation it should be His voice that leads you into all truth and keeps you seated daily in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
I do not want to seen harsh, but there are men of God and little preachers from the back woods of the world who known more of the Word of God, and what God is about, then all the noteworthy names you could mention in the last two generations.
Think about it. The people of the Bible that we know today were the unkowns and the ill considered of their day.
As you should see, I disagree with you more than a little. I also think that the mainstream of God's work is seldom found in, or measured by, numbers, large gatherings or media events.
If you read your Bible every day and the Lord Jesus Christ speaks to you through every book, and then through every chapter and often through every verse --- if that happens; then two things have happned for you. One, you have been baptised with the Holy Ghost and, Two, You have met, not just one but a number of great Bible teachers along the way.
Of healing I find, as noted by Nee, that Jesus heals us many times. Yet true healing comes when we at last realize that He, Jesus, does not "do healings" -- Rather He is our healing. I do not go to healing crusades because I am healed continually; not from sickness to sickness or event to event. I do not discount doctors, but healing is not a pill, a surgery or a special ministry. Healing is the person of Christ present in power.
If this were taught there would be fewer healing crusades necessary to build the faith of some and maintain the big business of others.

I think that Pastor Benny is a wonderful, annointed preacher who is winning millions of people to Christ. Many people, I think especially in America, people refuse to believe that God heals today, and so many people believe that the people are faking it in Benny's crusades. But I tell all of from personal experience of the power of the Holy Spirit at a Benny Hinn training for ministry conference in Grapevine, Texas, the healings that take place in Benny's programs are NOT faking anything! When people are filled with the Holy Ghost at these crusades are not faking it at all! The Bible says that in the last days, the works Jesus did while on earth, we will do also, and even greater works will we do in His name.

Benny Hinn is a very shrewd businessman, but you only have to look at his history to see that he is full of "stuff & nonsense".
God gave Hinn the "power of prophesy" which he has used to forsee that Fidel Castro would die in the 1990s; the homosexual community would be destroyed "with fire" in 1994 or 1995 ; an earthquake would destroy much of the U.S. East Coast in the 1990s ; and people would be raised from the dead to watch the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
All bogus.
He lives in a VERY nice house, though!

Sorry, I'm not a Benny Hinn fan. Shows seem a bit more than staged. I don't need all the dramatics to get the point.

I tend to think Benny Hinn is just a modern version of what Jesus likely was 2000 years ago. There is a sucker born every minute whether you are talking about now or 2000 years in the past..

I think he's a con-man on a par with Pat Robertson, who somehow "speaks for God" (somewhat more literally than preaching the gospel). I've seen Hinn's faith-healing and it looks like a sham.

Benny Hinn is very good at what he practices. Of course, what he practices is DECEPTION. Furthermore, he preys on the weakest members of society and has made a fortune off of them.

He is a good ringmaster in a circus. But nothing more. A ringmaster is also in it for the money and attention.
A good teacher teaches people to be free and self-sufficient, he does not put them back into there cages at night until the next show.

I think it's insincere and backed up by poorly constructed, manipulative thinking.
The CBC put out a good documentary on ole Benny a few years ago. It's worth a look
