Benny Hinn: Standing with Israel
CBN.com FAMILY RESTORATION
Benny Hinn is so thankful for the restorative work the Lord is doing with him and his ex-wife, Suzanne. He says they have never been closer and are falling more and more in love each day. Those who are giving the Hinns spiritual guidance and oversight have encouraged them to walk, not run, and to wait on the Lord as He completes His plan for their future. They have learned much thru the mistakes of the past and never want to repeat any of the things that led to their divorce. They are totally committed to remarrying.
WHAT HAPPENS IN ISRAEL AFFECTS THE CHURCH
Hinn grew up in Israel and his father was involved in Israeli politics. Celebrated leaders such as Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir often came to their home.
Hinn is very concerned as he sees less and less support for Israel among Evangelicals. Many are backing away from their support of Israel. Christians need to remember the miracle of Israel in 1948 as it became a nation again after centuries. That was also the time of the restoration of the healing ministries such as Oral Roberts and the mass evangelism of Billy Graham. The Six Day War in 1967 when Jerusalem was reunited as an Israeli city coincided with the restoration of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as the Charismatic renewal movement exploded worldwide. And the Yom Kippur War in 1973 was the time of the expansion of Christian television worldwide.
Hinn feels something is coming down the road that will affect Israel and the Body of Christ which may well be the activity of the Iranians. He doubts that Iran will cease its pursuit of nuclear power or make peace. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has consistently called for the end of Zionism and the total destruction of all of Israel. Hinn knows God will protect Israel, but he feels we will soon be facing events that will change the world and Church history. He is troubled about the future of America as we face the election next month. We must seek God’s direction as never before.
