Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today
00:06
I want to thank you so much for joining me for this podcast No, it's been a little while since I've done a video uploaded a video, but I've been on the road last couple weeks and So anyway, that is why that haven't been you haven't seen anything new on my channel for a little bit
00:20
And I do know that it looks like I have something on my lip there, but I don't it's just a little tuft of hair
00:27
Some hairs that are darker than the other ones the few remaining hairs that I have
00:32
I guess that are that are black They're all turning gray. So at any rate, this is an update on Benny Hinn so -called repentance
00:41
Many of you remember that a few years ago Benny Hinn made big news when he said that he has
00:47
Repented of the things that he used to teach and he's no longer gonna tell people to sow a $1 ,000 seed in his ministry so they can reap a harvest
00:56
In fact, he said if he ever hears that again, it's gonna it makes him It will make him want to throw up quite frankly.
01:02
He said so he duped an awful lot of people Practically everyone in the charismatic movement, of course fell for it because there's a
01:14
Complete dearth of discernment in the charismatic movement, but even some folks in in my
01:22
Soteriological circles At least temporarily not for very long But they were they were at least hopeful that Benny Hinn may indeed have repented
01:29
But but he hasn't repented he hasn't repented of anything In fact,
01:35
I did a video a year and a half or so ago an update on Benny Hinn's repentance fact
01:40
I'll put a link down there in the in the description so you can watch that if you would like to I showed that Benny Hinn is still teaching prosperity theology still teaching give to get
01:51
Theology sow a seed in my ministry so you can reap a harvest and he is still airing fake demonstrably fake quote -unquote
02:00
Miracles, he has not repented of anything. It does even suggest That Benny Hinn has repented is to so cheapen the biblical doctrine of repentance as to make it meaningless
02:15
So I want to show you some clips of some recent programs that Benny Hinn has uploaded to his
02:20
YouTube channel and These really are just kind of spot -checked I mean Benny Hinn does this all the time, but I want to show you some clips and towards the end
02:29
I want you to watch all the way to the end because the last Clip is going to be especially
02:36
Damning and I don't say that in a profane sort of way just especially Damning to Benny Hinn and to the guest on this program so More on that in just a minute, but watch this program.
02:50
This is that he uploaded this on February 27th 2022 so just a few weeks ago and this was right as the the war in Ukraine Started so I think right before but anyway watch this
03:08
How many sense the glory of God here Yeah, you can pick him up, but you know what leave him alone.
03:20
God is really blessing him. I didn't expect this.
03:28
I Did not expect the Lord to do this I Began sensing a strong and owning earlier here
03:36
Yeah, sure. You did Benny. I wish if I had a nickel for every time I've heard
03:41
Benny Hinn or one of these other Word faith charlatans say, oh, I sense the anoint.
03:47
Oh, I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit It's so never felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as strongly as I do right now except for the the time two days ago when
03:57
I said the exact same thing and and then three days before that and I said The same thing but no, this is stronger than I've ever felt before and Barf This is a this is a this is a trick
04:12
This is what they do. He sets the scene. He sets the emotional stage To make you believe that God is present even though we know from Scripture that he's always present omnipresent but at any rate
04:25
He's really present now and that just and you got the emotional music going on and and as I said before not the charismatic movement would absolutely collapse
04:37
If it were not for the movement Excuse me for the music it would absolutely collapse
04:45
But the the emotional music and all I feel I sense that I didn't expect this I did not expect to sense the presence of the
04:52
Lord so strongly right now. Well, that's just to set Set the stage for you to make you think that God's really present and what he's about to say is really anointed in You so you better obey what the man of God is about to say
05:09
The last few days the economies of the world began to shake the stock market went down went up up down dependent on Russia and Ukraine Now they're declaring a possible war in Europe That could that could bring economic collapse overnight
05:34
To the world to the world we don't know how how things are going to develop the next few years, but all we know as we
05:43
As God's people is if we are faithful in with God Today if we are faithful to him today, we have nothing to worry about tomorrow
05:54
So Benny Hinn is going to use the war between Russia and Ukraine as a pretense
06:00
To get you to send him money because when war breaks out the entire world economy could collapse
06:06
Gas prices will shoot up. There'll be uncertainty chaos dogs and cats living together
06:12
And it's just gonna be bad bad bad and make no mistake It is very very bad for many people right now
06:19
But what he's getting at is it's going to be bad For you here in the United States and other parts of the world that are not
06:26
Russia not Ukraine but it's gonna be bad for us too, and we're going to need protection from the surely ensuing chaos and of course the only way to ensure that we are protected from said chaos is to Give Benny Hinn our money
06:44
Because a faithful man will abound Abound means overflow abound with blessings
06:52
Now a lot of you sweet people have you smart people Many of you are you've invested your money in real estate or possibly other things maybe precious metals or this or that The only way you're gonna be safe with your investments is by being a giver to the kingdom
07:13
Because all those who are not givers are they they're gonna lose their investments Because it's gonna collapse out there.
07:22
So giving to God today is more important than a week ago And by giving to God he means giving to Benny Hinn because now
07:34
We can all see things can change real quickly out there real quickly
07:41
So this is the time to really get serious about giving I've been a
07:47
Christian for over 50 years now a few days over 50 years No, Benny you have not been a
07:53
Christian for over 50 years you haven't been a Christian for 50 minutes You haven't been a
07:58
Christian for 50 seconds Because you're not a Christian Benny. You see real
08:04
Christians don't teach jaw -dropping heresy and Blasphemies real
08:11
Christians do not offer thousands of false Prophecies real Christians do not put words in God's mouth
08:19
For years on end for decades put words in God's mouth that he emphatically did not say real
08:26
Christians Do not exploit the poor the sick the desperate in the widows in order to enrich themselves
08:33
Real Christians don't air fake miracles on their television programs for decades real
08:40
Christians don't do that You see because real Christians are indwelt by the real
08:48
Holy Spirit of God Who convicts of sin and righteousness real
08:53
Christians when we sin and real Christians do sin? But when real Christians sin we grieve over our sin.
09:01
We don't double down on it We don't continue in it unabated with no sense of conviction
09:08
Because the real Holy Spirit who indwells real Christians is not a weakling He's not a girly man if he's strong enough to save us he's strong enough to deliver us out of deception and real
09:20
Christians Cannot sin with impunity and feel no conviction about it because real
09:28
Christians when they sin if they go into a season in their life of some serious unrepentant sin real
09:36
Christians are Placed by the real Holy Spirit in the middle of the very real chapter of Hebrews chapter 12
09:43
And they undergo the very real discipline of God and they are brought to real repentance
09:51
Real Christians Benny Hinn don't do what you do We guarantee our children's tomorrow by our giving today
10:01
And if we love our families, we need to give today more than we did a week ago
10:07
We need to really go all out in faith for God in giving because if we don't we ourselves are going to see disaster and We will see disaster come to our children fear -mongering
10:23
So if you fear for yourself if you fear for your own life, or especially if you fear for the lives of your children
10:31
Then send Benny your money. I'm gonna pray also no lack in your life
10:37
Lift your hands and receive it now. I want to pause it here for just a second
10:43
Did you notice how he pointed you know, he was pointing at he's pointing at the music man He's pointing at the guy at the the piano or the keyboard or whatever it is.
10:53
He's playing He's pointing at that guy. In other words, okay, we're going into the giving time. This is when
10:59
I'm gonna Prime the pump here for people to give so music guy do your thing
11:05
Play that emotional music because we all know people give a whole lot more money
11:10
When you got that emotional music playing this is a trick. This is intentional
11:16
This is a gimmick goes back to what I said a little bit ago the entire charismatic movement
11:22
It would collapse it without the music as it is right now as as the the way the charismatic movement is right now with their
11:29
Their their their tactics on getting people to give and their tactics on making people think they're healed
11:36
When they're really not healed because it's all psychosomatic None of this stuff would work without the music
11:43
So mr. Music man Do your thing I'm gonna play also no lack in your life
11:52
Lift it lift your hands and receive it Lord As you've anointed me tonight to be disturbed to your people and knowing me now one more time
12:05
Lord as I pray for them No lack No lack spiritually
12:15
No lack when it comes to health No lack financially as we yield our lives and yield our
12:27
Members our bodies and even yield our finances to you So, how do you prosper?
12:34
Spiritually, how do you prosper financially? How do you prosper in your health will give
12:40
Benny in your money? of course so if you're sick if You have cancer if you have a sick spouse if you have a sick child if your child is handicapped
12:50
Maybe you have a child with cancer The best way to secure protection and to secure healing for you or your loved one and especially your child give your money to Benny in and You best dig deeply because you know the the bigger miracle you need the bigger seed you'd better so One day these false teachers will have to stand before a thrice
13:18
Holy God and give an account for what they are doing to people in the name of Christ Now, let's go to another episode.
13:27
It's a different program. We're gonna back up a couple of months This was aired put up on his
13:32
YouTube channel on December the 11th 2021 and you'll probably notice the audio in this clip is just a
13:41
Fraction of a second off from the video. It's out of sync I don't know why every once in a while when you download a video
13:46
It just does that so anyway, you'll notice that but no big deal We don't trust ourselves because you see what happens is this let's say
13:55
You dear people who are smart business people You're gonna invest money and you need to in good things and you know smart ways and so on when the problem hits
14:06
God's gonna protect your your investment, but not somebody else's You see he's saying the same thing.
14:12
This is from Two three months earlier two months or two and a half months earlier and he's saying the same thing
14:19
So if you want your investments protected in the coming world chaos
14:24
Then then you need to give to Benny Hinn because if you give to Benny Hinn your investments will be protected
14:30
But not the other guy not the other guy who's not giving to the Lord aka Benny Hinn He won't be protected but you will you see if you give your money you see difference
14:39
This is not this is not a one -off with Benny Hinn. I could if I had time
14:45
I could download Practically every single video on his YouTube channel and show you the same thing.
14:52
He does it all the time Now I'm gonna ask you to give why
14:59
I want to see your future safe. That's why I Want to see your life and children safe and not only you but your own family will be protected when you give givers never lose and takers never win
15:13
You see Benny Hinn really is a good guy. He wants you to give just so you and your family can be protected
15:20
That's why he wants you to send him your money. So so you can he he's just looking out for you.
15:26
Don't you know? Yeah, right Benny Hinn is a liar. He is a fraud.
15:33
He is a charlatan He has repented of absolutely nothing and for anyone to say that he has repented of anything is to cheapen the biblical and beautiful Doctrine of repentance now.
15:46
I want it. This is the clip that I really want you to see because If you think what you just saw is bad
15:54
No, I mean it is but but watch this. This is a video that That my friend
16:01
Stephen Kozar put together his YouTube channel the messed -up church And if you've not yet found his channel,
16:07
I would encourage you to do it. Look for it. In fact, I'll make it easy There's a link down below there in the description and you can subscribe to his channel and he does some really good work
16:16
He's much better with graphics and all that kind of stuff. He's offered to help help me and up one of these days I'll take him up on it.
16:21
But anyway, I digress so He was watching Benny Hinn a few weeks ago
16:27
I think this was aired on March the 6th and Benny Hinn is of course asking for money surprise surprise
16:34
But this time he's not by himself. He's with some of his word -faith charlatan friends and so I'm just gonna play this for a little while and I'll have a comment, but this is
16:47
This is revealing watch We're here gathered together to talk and bless you.
17:01
First of all comfort you strengthen you as God's people We just finished a great service here in Houston Bishop Clarence McLennan is with me.
17:12
I want as many of you as can to get a $500 seat Pastor Dan Willis.
17:19
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Right now you're to pick up the phone and so a $1 ,000 seat James Payne, I believe
17:25
God's speaking to people who plan $1 ,000 seat John Avanzini and others over here Mike Smalley and others and We just got the news about the attack on that nuclear plant in In the
17:41
Ukraine This is a video that was put up on March 6th of the year 2022 by the
17:48
Benny Hinn Ministries people Basically, he says they had a meeting of some sort and they decided to change the meeting and to just do this little prayer session because they were concerned about what was happening in the
17:59
Ukraine with the Russians and the Nuclear plant that was apparently being attacked. We pray you intervene in this situation in this war
18:09
Between Russia and the Ukraine law and I just played the beginning of the video
18:15
I'm gonna skip forward to the very end about 25 minutes later This is a case of the typical fear -mongering that Benny Hinn does periodically
18:23
There's really two ways to make a sale or to get people to spend money One is to tell them all about the benefits of spending money
18:31
But the other way is to scare them into what might happen if they don't spend the money and that's what he does here
18:37
He's trying to promote the idea that we might have a world war starting soon And if you want to be protected by God, you need to send money to Benny Hinn I want you to watch the guy in the left in the dark suit with the handkerchief over his face
18:49
That's Clarence McClendon and even he can't believe the audacity of Benny Hinn Who is instilling all this fear into people and then he finishes with if you want
19:02
God to protect you You really need to send money to Benny Hinn. I think this is the time we all need to really be wise
19:10
With our finances, this is not the time to fear
19:16
This is not the time to trust the world Because it can collapse now
19:22
I want you to watch the last few seconds again because I want you to watch Clarence McClendon as Benny Hinn is talking and You see
19:29
Clarence go as Benny and so he goes You know, he's just always
19:35
Boy that that he's just so sincere sincerity just oozes out of his pores and his heart is so burdened
19:42
By this and oh just oh, he just cares so much for the people and wants them to be protected.
19:49
Mm -hmm Uh -huh. Yeah, you're about to see how sincere he's not
19:56
This is not the time to fear This is not the time to trust the world
20:03
Because it can collapse overnight This is the time to trust
20:08
God In every part of life Especially now financially
20:16
I Would advise all of you to become more givers now than you've ever been in your life
20:23
If you want protection Because this is the time to so Because it will protect you because it says so Ecclesiastes 11 to It says give a portion of seven also of eight for thou knowest not what evil
20:44
Shall be upon the earth What a great promise That God will protect his people.
20:51
I have not seen the righteous forsaken No receipt begging for bread Much love to all of you and will will will stay in touch
21:01
I You know, I've been wanting to minister other things, but every day it seems more and more happens
21:07
We we aired a different program Today it's just I said no
21:14
I said I don't want to keep talking about this But you know, how can you stop we just finished this meeting and this news now about this nuclear reactor
21:25
All right much. Love all is well. I want you all to say all is well Hallelujah If you want protection
21:39
Because this is the time to so Now, I'm not a poker player.
21:45
I don't even know how to play poker I probably don't even remember how to play go fish that game when
21:51
I used to play with my Dad and sister as a kid, I don't think I remember how to play go fish
21:57
But I'm pretty sure that grin by Clarence McClendon. I'm pretty sure that's what they call a tell
22:04
That's a tell Because that reveals what is really going on in that man's heart and mind
22:11
He's laughing at you. He is he is laughing at the audacity of Benny Hinn and he's laughing at you
22:21
For being gullible enough to believe it and he's laughing all the way to the bank
22:28
Dear friends. These people are charlatans. They are liars. They are hucksters they are shysters and It cheapens
22:37
Repentance to in any way insinuate that Benny Hinn has repented on any level.
22:43
He hasn't repented of anything He may not be using the $1 ,000 specifically calling it a thousand dollar seed
22:53
He may not be doing that because he kind of painted himself into a corner on that But he's still teaching the same thing
22:59
He's still teaching the same theology the same give to get sow a seed reap a harvest If you if you're in debt, give me money.
23:07
God will get you out of debt If you have a sick husband, you have a sick wife. You have a sick child. You're sick. You you have cancer.
23:14
Send me your money quickly Because the bigger miracle you need the bigger monetary seed you'd better so and if you want protection from the coming world chaos
23:23
Send me your money He hasn't repented of anything And to say that he has cheapens
23:30
Repentance and shame on those shame on anyone Especially those who should know better To say that Benny Hinn has repented.
23:41
He hasn't You know how you'll be able to tell when true repentance comes
23:48
I should say if true repentance comes to Benny Hinn or Clarence McClendon Or John Avanzini.
23:56
I hadn't seen that guy in eons, but there he was in that video or to Kenneth Copeland or to Todd White or to You know
24:06
Joel Osteen or any of these other word -faith False teachers and false prophets, you know how to tell you'll be able to tell when true repentance really does come
24:15
True repentance will come when you see them say this I've been lying to you
24:23
For all of these years for all these decades of my ministry I've been lying to you all the times that I have claimed that God has spoken to me.
24:33
He hasn't spoken to me I've offered hundreds nay thousands of false prophecies
24:42
I'm a false prophet. I've been lying to you all of the people that I have claimed to be healed
24:48
Up on my stage and my miracle crusades they weren't healed Todd White's case, you know all the all the legs that I've lengthened.
24:57
That's a trick That's a parlor trick and I knew it was I know it is and and yet I've been doing it for for many years
25:06
Quite literally pulling your leg I've been lying. I'm a deceiver.
25:12
I've been deceiving you. I have brought untold reproach upon the name of Christ I have been exploiting the poor the sick the desperate and the widows for personal financial gain to fund my lavish lifestyle to fund my 102030 even in Jesse Duplantis this case 35 ,000 square foot parsonage to fund my private jets
25:40
Plural because many of them have more than one can't get by with just one private jet, you know
25:45
Got at least two You know my fancy cars and my fancy clothes and Benny Hinn's case is his jacket that the ministry logo logo is said to have
25:56
Is said to be stitched with 24 karat gold thread I've been exploiting people for personal financial gain to fund my lifestyle of the rich and famous I brought untold reproach on Christ and Now I realize that I am biblically
26:17
Manifestly unqualified to be in the ministry. And so here's what I'm gonna do. I cannot possibly refund
26:25
Every person's money that has given to me over the many decades. I can't possibly cause many of them are dead now
26:31
There's no way to do that So in light of my inability to do that, here's what I will do
26:37
I'm gonna shut my ministry down I'm gonna liquidate everything that the ministry has every building every chair every television camera
26:49
Everything Liquidate it sell it and I'm gonna give every cent of what this ministry has to doctrinally sound churches and Doctrinally sound ministries and I'm gonna fund real gospel work real ministry missionary work
27:08
I'm gonna fund real gospel work for a change That's what I'm gonna do And I'm gonna find a good
27:15
Doctrinally sound church that is led by biblically qualified elders who are men
27:21
And I'm gonna join that church And I'm not gonna be behind the pulpit anymore. No, I'm gonna be in front of the pulpit sitting in a pew in Learning that's when you'll know they've truly repented and anything short of that is
27:38
Not repentance anything short of that is to cheapen the very beautiful doctrine of repentance
27:47
But if they do that Hey, I'll support them. I'll support them a hundred percent not financially, but I will support them
27:56
I'll help them And Benny Hinn if by some chance you or one of your
28:02
Staff members is watching this video You are in grave danger
28:08
You are not a Christian. You have not been a Christian for 50 years. You're not a Christian now
28:14
Clarence McClendon, you're not a Christian Todd white you're not a Christian Kenneth Copeland.
28:20
You're not a Christian Joel Osteen. You're not a Christian Because Christians don't do the things you do
28:29
Real Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God. I Don't want you to go to hell
28:35
That's where you're all headed. I don't want you to go there. I Want you to know the true
28:41
Christ. I want you to to know true repentance And so if you are watching this and you're convicted, maybe you're a staff member
28:49
For Benny Hinn or Kenneth Copeland and you're watching this and you realize
28:55
Yeah, I'm I'm working for a false prophet. I'm working for a false teacher Please Examine yourself to see if you're in the faith if you will come to Christ in a true godly sorrow over sin
29:10
If your sin weighs on you Come to Jesus Trust him and what he did for you on the cross
29:17
That he offered his perfect life as a perfect sacrifice to perfectly set up satisfy the perfect wrath of God In three days later bodily raised from the dead
29:30
Proving himself to be who he said he was God in human flesh if you will come to Christ if you will lay your works down because they are nothing but filthy rags
29:37
Lay your works down go to Christ Cry out to him confess your sins.
29:43
Ask him to forgive you if you will do that And do it from a a heart that is that is being moved upon by the true
29:51
Holy Spirit of God Then he will save you You'll pass from death to life and Benny Hinn Kenneth Copeland Todd white
30:00
Jesse Duplantis if this happens to you if you will truly come to Christ, he will save you and Your salvation will be evidenced by genuine repentance shutting it all down and if you work for Benny Hinn or work for Kenneth Copeland and You're convicted then leave
30:22
Leave you can't stay you can't stay and work for Benny Hinn You can't stay and work for Kenneth Copeland a true
30:28
Christian can't do that If you're a true Christian and you're working for one of these false ministries
