Benny Hinn’s Airforce
I laughed myself silly at Old Truth’s post today about Benny Hinn’s “need” for a new $30,000,000 dollar Gulfstream jet that God told Benny he would provide (through your healthy donations of course). If you ever needed some proof that god-told-me-too language is ridiculously out of control then there it is. I love this comment in the response section though:
“If I give money can I specifiy that I want the money to go to a Holy Spirit weapons system. Maybe a Holy Ghost Vulcan cannon in the nose or heat seeking Phoenix Holy Spirit Missle system. Think of all the people he could slay in the spirit with weapons like this.”

Actually instead of a new jet, I think Benny needs a space shuttle for reaching people naive enough not to see right through his white majesty. But who am I to question God. For those of you too lazy to link over then here is what Benny’s website said:
“Benny Hinn Ministries has the opportunity to acquire a safer, longer-range aircraft – the Gulfstream G4SP – which is a powerful and technologically advanced ministry aviation tool to take the Gospel to the nations. For more than four decades, Gulfstream has set the global standard for technologically advanced corporate aircraft, and the Lord has provided ’Dove One’, an aircraft that became available just as the door of opportunity began to close on aircrafts our ministry had previously been utilizing!”
And if you donate to the Jet fund like God told you to:
“Your name will be placed prominently in a special area of Dove One where Pastor Benny studies and prays during his travels. Everywhere Pastor Benny flies, your name will travel with him, millions of miles and for years to come, reminding him that you have made it possible to go and preach as God has called him to do. He wants to keep the names of his closest and most generous friends nearby as he travels the globe in the highest prayer tower in the world, at 40,000 feet in the heavens, where he will intercede for you and ask God to pour out an unprecedented and unusual anointing upon your life.”
You see, number one on God’s priority list right now is Benny Hinn’s “safety”, so the Lord provided Benny with this new jet. He doesn’t say but we can only surmise that he provided it the same way he provided Benny with his two $80,000 Mercedes Benz and his $10,000,000 dollar oceanside mansion. He was also gracious enough to provide Benny with a $3000 per night luxury hotel to stay in during layovers between crusades. Of course there wouldn’t have been any layovers if he had, had “Dove One” to begin with. Why didn’t God just give him that one in the first place. God works in mysterious ways, right?
