Good Morning Holy Spirit

Summary: Good food for those that are hungry for more...
Review: If you're feeling kinda lonely and you're feeling kinda blue, then Benny wrote a book that says, "The Holy Spirit is for you!" What a wonderful, uplifting and insightful book this is, that I know has changed hundreds of people's lives. Benny gives his own story of how he discovered God's gift of His Holy Spirit -- it leaves you breathless with anticipation in the realization that all you have to do is call, and He will answer. This is a book for the Christians that are searching for that touch of God they may feel a lack of in their lives; it definitely tells you how to find it.

Summary: A remarkable story, pity it has no basis in Scripture.
Review: Is sound teaching supported by Biblical truth what you are looking for? Are you seeking a life on which to model your Christian walk? If the answer to either question is . . . . . yes, then steer well clear of this book. This excursion into the literary world fills 177 pages and is an autobiographical testimony of Benny Hinn's life and experience from his formative years as a Christian to the date of writing. The focus being his introduction to, and deepening relationship with, the Holy Spirit. Whilst the book contains numerous scripture references from both Old and New Testaments, it becomes increasingly apparent that they are present only where they lend weight to Hinn's arguments. Old Testament accounts of the way the Spirit operated are used as a model for the believer, the Spirit comes and goes, anoints and removes His anointing. All designed to add weight to flawed arguments the reader is inextricably drawn into Hinn's world, where experience determines 'theology' and the reasoning is invariably a posteriori. The influence of Kathryn Kuhlman is a major factor on his experience and understanding of the Holy Spirit. His 'baptism in the Holy Spirit' is largely orthodox being accompanied by 'speaking in tongues'. This experience, for him at least, is insufficient and so he invents a theology; 'the anointing of the Holy Spirit'. All too often though the scriptures used to back up this teaching speak only about 'the baptism in the Holy Spirit'. The major thrust of the book is to present the Holy Sprit as a person. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but Hinn's 'Trinitarian theology' is all too often stretched to breaking point in order to prove his point. The Father and the Son are constantly 'located' away from the earth, thus allowing the Holy Spirit control over this domain. Some of the reasoning borders on the ludicrous: we have hands and feet, a heart and emotions and since we were created in God's image He too must have hands, feet, a heart and emotions, and so on. The book is riddled with such jargon, rhetoric and 'helpful' illustrations. Unfortunately, they all too often only serve to confuse the issue further. For example: the reason why Jesus didn't heal people was because the Father did not ask the Holy Spirit to request Jesus to do it. There are other astonishing and downright arrogant statements - His relationship with the Holy Spirit is like a parent and a child; only Hinn is the parent. The Holy Spirit begs him for just five more minutes of his company and God rubs his forehead to thank him for spending time in prayer. On one occasion he would have us believe he wept uncontrollably for more than three weeks. The book promises much which through close, though not too close inspection it fails to deliver. Having an experience does not necessarily make your theology sound. Any amount of Christian jargon and obscure illustrations will not make it sound. Lasting fruit comes when we start from the sure ground of the Word of God and proceed forward, rather than starting from an experience and attempting a find a meandering path back to the Word. Using scripture out of context and without application is also fruitless. The book will appeal to the masses of people who make a Christian life of attending conferences, healing rallies and the like, but for those seeking a daily walk with the Lord in humility and truth it's a no go. I gave the book one star since you can't give it zip.

Summary: Good book
Review: It is a good book. I think holy spirit will guide you to do everything right, and I don't think that he really needs money, but if he writes more general things, it might be better so that some readers won't misunderstand that he just needs money from the holy spirit.

Summary: He Loves The Lord
Review: It's been said that the person with a experience is not at the mercy of someone with an argument. Several years ago, I was struggling with some issues in my life and I began to yearn for God, for a closeness with Him that I had never known. I did not even know for sure what I was seeking. I began to talk to The Holy Spirit, telling Him how much I needed Him. At about that time, I bought this book. I was halfway through it, when one evening, as I sat watching Christian television, and a program that was featuring a full hour of worship music, I had a supernatural encounter with The Holy Spirit and angels that changed me and changed my life forever. A few months later, a friend talked me into attending one of Benny Hinn's Conferences On The Holy Spirit. During those three days, there were many, many things which the Lord did to confirm to me that Benny Hinn is a man of God and is being mightily used of Him. Is he perfect? No. Is he always right, do I always agree with him? No. But after reading hundreds and hundreds of Christian books over the years and listening to as many tapes, I haven't found one single minister/author/teacher that I agree with 100% of the time. I think that's because we're all human. Benny Hinn is a man who is totally in love with the Lord, and gives out that love constantly to others. Sadly, those who criticize him, in books, radio, and here in these reviews, do not exude that same love. We are known by our fruit. Would satan send someone away from a three day conference closer to the Lord, more hungry for and understanding of the Word, more on fire for God, and with more spiritual wisdom and discernment? C'mon folks.

Summary: God IS personal!
Review: Just after I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I suddenly began to understand the Bible for the first time. It was as if someone was teaching me. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and in this book the experiences Benny Hinn describes are some of the same experiences I had then and still enjoy today. This book shows how personal the Holy Spirit wants to be in our lives. Benny Hinn captures this special realationship in a way that will show you how to find that same intimacy with God.

Summary: Don't Ignore This Book!
Review: Much of GMHS is biographical, with stories calculated to soften up the gullible in preparation for Benny's "teaching." After all, any man who has seen Jesus must know what he is talking about, right? (see pp 22, 31.) Uh, no. When Benny starts to talk about the Trinity, he goes into heretical territory. In the first edition of GMHS, Hinn argues that each member of the Trinity has a separate "Spirit, Soul, and Body" (pp 80-92.) It gets worse. He goes on to say that each member of the Trinity has a separate will, allowing each to decide on his own, though always in harmony with the others. Hinn goes on to be more blunt: he says that "the Trinity, as we see, is comprised of three distinct and unique entites." (pg 140.) Go to the back of the class, Benny. This winds up being tritheistic (belief in three gods). Christianity is and always has been monotheistic: God is one in essence, and three in person. Check any of the historical creeds, and see. The first line of the Nicene creed starts like this: "We believe in one God..." Deuteronomy 6:4 is a key verse in this regard: "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one!" As if that isn't bad enough (and it gets worse), Benny argues that "had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have ["may have likely,"2d ed.]sinned...Without the Holy Ghost Jesus would ["may," 2d ed.] have never made it." (pg 135.) This is blasphemous! Jesus said he raised himself from the dead! (John 10:17-18.) Like I said, don't ignore this book: destroy every copy you can get your hands on.

Summary: God showed me the truth in this book!
Review: Once in 1993 and 3 or 4 times in 1999 I had an experience I couldn't explain. I asked my father, who is a doctor, if there was a physical explanation for it all and he couldn't come up with anything, he pretty much just said I was dreaming. I knew my unusual experience was not a dream so I prayed for a couple of months asking God to reveal to me what those sensations I felt meant and where they came from. Then I bought this book and was beyond surprised and overjoyed when Benny Hinn described an experience with the Holy Spirit that was absolutely identical to mine (the "electric" sensation at night that left him numb and paralyzed, etc). The sequence of the sensations, the whole experience was exactly like mine (except I didn't have a vision afterwards like he did). That was God's answer to my prayer. That's also the reason why I know Benny Hinn speaks the truth.
