If somebody comes along and says, 'OK, Benny Hinn, I'm gonna help you financially so you can pay your own bills,' or if I can do it on my own and get a job and do something on the side like I'm doing now, it would be a pleasure.
Let me just tell you this, my aim in life is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, that's all I care about.
Over the years, there's been some cases where people did come up who said they were healed, but really they were not healed. I do believe it's possible for individuals to mentally convince themselves they are, but that does not deny the real healings. That doesn't dismiss the fact that a lot of people are really cured.
The anointing, which is God's power, comes on me... I can actually feel it. And people start getting healed. From the cancer, the pain is gone.
