The
Power and Necessity of Christian Media
Benny Hinn
And
one of the great privileges we have is to declare the message of the Gospel
through television, the Internet, social media, print, and networks. Because of
these media outreaches around the world, we literally receive mountains of mail
and telephone praise reports of hearts being touched for all eternity.
Why Benny Hinn Ministries and Christian Media Are Effective
Because
the media, in all its forms, is so familiar and ever-present today, we sometimes
forget how effective it really is as a tool of spreading God’s Word.
Here
are three of the many reasons why we must continue to use this powerful tool:
- Christian media allows us to
cross cultural and religious barriers that would seldom happen otherwise. The media is such a powerful tool to get the
Gospel into the lives of men, women, and children who might never hear of
salvation and God’s miracle-working power any other way.
- Christian media allows our
ministry to literally walk into the homes of people all over the world, at
their electronic invitation! People
can access us and watch, listen, or read when it’s convenient for them.
- Christian media allows people
to open up to the Gospel in their own environment. People can access us at the touch of a screen,
anytime, anywhere. They can be relaxing at home, eating in a restaurant,
or taking a break at work. They tend to have their “guard” down. They
don’t have to be dressed in “Sunday” best. They can simply open up to the
Holy Word of God and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s Power without
fear about what others think.
God
is allowing us to use Christian media to share not only the message of
salvation but also the miracle-working power of the Holy Spirit.
With
the “weapon” of Christian media, God is breaking Satan’s hold on the hearts of
people in nearly every country and village around the world, and it’s happening
right now—even as you read these words.
God Has Even Great Work for Us
I
believe God wants us to use Christian media more than ever, as He continues to
expand our outreach as technologies become even more effective and accessible.
Staying
up with all these technologies is very expensive, of course, but this tool is
so focused and effective that we must continue to move forward in faith.
During
the past few months God has given us a glorious time of anointed harvest. He is
blessing so many of our partners and ministry friends with abundance as they
support each advancement around the world.
One
of the great reasons for this outpouring is to give you more seed to plant
toward an even greater harvest. He wants to bless you so you can bless others
even more.
Christ
stated it plainly: “Give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38)
What
better time than right now to sow your best gift in confidence and boldness
into the fertile soil of this worldwide ministry!
You
can be assured that your seed-gift will touch lives all over the globe, not
only through Christian media, but also through miracle services and mission
outreaches that God has birthed through this ministry.
The
Bible promises “glory, honor, and peace, to everyone who works good” (Romans
2:10), and I pray for increased blessings on you and your family because of
your faithfulness to this ministry.
True Public Media
We
are a faith-based media. We are public television and media in its purest form.
We don’t have long lists of corporate sponsors. We don’t receive government
assistance.
We
are totally dependent upon God’s people to continue doing the unique work that
we’ve been doing for over four decades. We are totally dependent upon God’s
people as we make plans for the future.
One
thing I know is that Almighty God blesses those who give faithfully to the
spread of the Gospel.
And
I truly believe that your seed-gift will bring you a great harvest and great
protection for your financial tomorrow, as we are promised:
Cast
thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a
portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be
upon the earth…. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not
thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or
whether they both shall be alike good. (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2, 6)
God
wants to pour out His abundance upon you so you can give toward the spread of
His Good News!
A New Ministry Website Coming!
Let me announce here for
the first time that we are in the middle of building a completely new BennyHinn.org website! It is not only
beautiful, but also immeasurably faster with greatly expanded resources,
including more than triple the amount of content in Spanish and many other
languages.
Plus,
we are launching an entire new category of eBooks, many of which are completely
free, to enrich your life and the lives of others as you share God’s
Word. Every single feature of the new BennyHinn.org
will be easily accessible from any smartphone or tablet.
There
are many closed doors to the Gospel around the world, but the Internet, despite
some censorship in certain countries, but our website generally has a wide-open
door that we are striving to make even more useful, convenient, accessible
anytime, and powerfully effective.
For
years this ministry has sought to use our website as a powerful tool for
inspiring believers, reaching the lost, and providing life-changing materials
to anyone we can reach.
And
nothing thrills me more than being part of something like the development of
our new website that truly has the potential to help us to fulfill our Lord’s
command to “Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15)
An Exciting Hour for This Ministry
The cry for the Gospel is the
loudest ever.
Please help me reach them before
it’s eternally too late. Help me seek to fulfill the Great Commission as we
work together.
Help me fulfill God’s mandate on my
life now during this prophetic hour.
Yes, the enemy of our souls is
opposing every move we make as a Christian media ministry, but God is also
opening incredible doors, and I want you to be part of this prophetic
opportunity!
I am asking you to give today toward
what God is doing in our midst. Whatever God places on your heart to do, please
obey Him!
May I Count on You Today?
Yes, we face challenges every day.
It’s been that way since 1974 when I first started in ministry.
But I’ve learned that challenges by
the enemy of our souls is often a clear sign that we are being effective. And
the greater the opposition looms, the greater the opportunities await us just
ahead. I believe that with all my heart.
I am asking you, from the bottom of
my heart, to give generously today for this mighty work of God so we can
continue to make advance preparations for all our scheduled healing services
and can take the Good News of Jesus Christ through the awesome, unprecedented
doors He is opening to us.
We cannot lose this moment. We cannot
lose the battle for the lost!
Prayerfully give to the Lord your
very best seed today, and watch what He will do for you!
For the glorious and eternal cause of our precious
Lord, Jesus Christ,
