Recently, a stunning announcement has come across the waves of media: Benny Hinn is apparently refuting and recanting from the message of the “prosperity gospel.”

On the show, Your Loveworld, Hinn announced that “I’m correcting my own theology, and you need to all know it.”

I would be lying if I said that this announcement did not take me by complete surprise. I have heard of Benny Hinn for many years and have been sickened to the core of my being at the false teachings that have come from his lips. To hear from his own lips, that he was wrong in teaching that you can buy the blessings of God causes me to raise my hands in praise to the Lord.

The “prosperity gospel” has done great damage around the world. The Gospel Coalition put out an article that gives a good overview of the “prosperity gospel” and why it is so dangerous. You can check it out by clicking here.

I sincerely hope that this confession is true and will be backed up by a life of repentance. I also hope that others who buy into the false teachings of the “prosperity gospel” will errors of it and follow suit with their own times of confession and repentance. Time will tell…
