Chuck Smith on Benny Hinn

4. We have the mystery of the healings at Laurdes in France, or at other shrines. We have the mystery of healings at Benny Hinn's meetings. How are they explained?
a. Jesus said, "According to your faith, be it done unto you."
b. People like Benny Hinn have a way of helping people to release their faith.
c. People travel for miles believing that if they can just get to a certain shrine, that they will be healed.
d. Again they are points of contact where faith is released. In reality it has nothing to do with the person such as Benny Hinn or Oral Roberts, it has to do with the person's faith, which these persons helped them to release.
 
e.Some of these men are absolute frauds such as Peter Popoff, who was being coached by his wife reading the cards in another room of the person's conditions. He had a small receiver in his ear. He would call people out of the audience and begin to describe their conditions, and they would be healed. In their minds they had set a point for the release of their faith. If or when he calls out my name, I know that God will touch me.
f. The wife of a famous football coach had been attending some classes that I had been teaching on the Holy Spirit. She had been seeking the gift of the Holy Spirit. One night when she got home from class her husband was watching Monday night football so she went into the bedroom to pray and ask God to fill her with His Holy Spirit. Suddenly she heard the sound of a rushing wind, and she received the gift of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues. It was only later that she realized that the sound of the rushing wind was when the furnace had turned on.[1]
