Occasionally we are blamed for denouncing popular “Men
of God” .Some people are easily offended when you criticize one
whom they admire. But more often do we come across individuals that
are glad we take a stand for the truth in this day and age of political
correctness.
Allow me to give you a summary of our spiritual walk.
In June 1988, my family and I came to the knowledge of the Gospel through
Christian television, and recognised Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour,
and got out of the Roman Catholic Church.
Soon after our deliverance, we joined a small Pentecostal church and
became very active within the church.
Two years after the Lord led us to an Independent Charismatic church.
In hindsight we now realize that this was a time of preparation and
maturing, for we were about to encounter the biggest “star”
of the religious world: Benny Hinn.
In late May 1992, through unusual circumstances we moved to Orlando,
Florida to attend Benny’ church.
Unexpectedly, on July 01, 1992, only a month after our arrival, during
the Wednesday night service, Benny Hinn called out my family and on
his request we went on stage.
He asked me:
“Sir, what do you do for a living?”
“I am a translator and interpreter Pastor”
“Well” Benny said in front of the whole congregation,”why
don’t you translate my bestseller Good Morning Holy Spirit, and
also my book “The Anointing?”
After the service we met Benny in his office, he promised to get us
our working papers and to use us in the ministry
This surprising invitation confirmed to us that God had a plan for our
lives.
But things did not turn out the way we expected, we translated the book
and gave it to Susanne Hinn Benny’s wife.
We were never paid for the translation work; we never got our working
papers, and never worked for the ministry.
During that turmoil that lasted 2 years, we became involved in the ministry
of evangelist Morris Cerullo, through his Asian Crusade director, a
man whose name is Raymond Mooi.
This man got engaged with our daughter; he took her and our son on a
2 months trip to Asia, and then suddenly ran away from them, leaving
them in Singapore without money and a hotel bill of more then $1500
US. Mooi had never told us he was still married to his wife.
After that tragic incident, we felt broken, forsaken and discouraged.
For the first six months of the year 1994, we slept in ghettos, rescue
missions, and finally the Canadian embassy forced Hinn’s ministry
to pay our way back to Canada.
But that was all part of God’s plan, He gave us as rules and guide
lines Ezekiel chapter 2.
Once in British Columbia, we started investigating faith healing and
discovered mesmerism, an occult practice used by Benny Hinn and many
others, it is also known as Crowd manipulation or Collective Hysteria.
Then we knew for sure that we had to warn our Christian brothers and
sisters of the dangers they will face if they listen to those false
prophets.
Almighty God literally rescued us from their filthy hands. It is unconceivable
that ministers can be so heartless and hypocritical in their lives.
What you see on TV or on stage is far from being their true nature.
I can declare that it is only by God’s grace that we have remained
steadfast in our Christian walk.
We do believe in Divine Healing, but I strongly opposed the concept
that some preachers have a permanent gift of healing, they have not
been able to prove real biblical healings like limbs that grow back
blind that see, or deaf that hear.
But marketing miracle work, it sells and attracts large crowds, and
large crowds mean large offerings.
People need to realise that God can and will heal according to His divine
will.
Now many years after as I look back, I cannot help but to praise God
for His love His mercy and His grace.
Our son and our daughter who have been so deeply hurt by those false
prophets, are living their own life, God has His hand on them, and He
is taking care of them
My wife and I are still on fire for the Lord and every time God opens
a door, we walk right in and share the Gospel of Salvation.
When we minister to churches we show them our video; a tool we use to
expose how Benny Hinn uses mesmerism and in which we also reveal many
of Benny’s lies.
We have a book titled: Behind The Scenes; the True Face of The Fake
Faith Healers
And I invite you to visit our web site at: www.fakefaithhealers.com
But let us face it, if we had more financial resources, we would do
a lot more, and that would enable us to warn more brothers and sisters.
In Christ Love.
