Sandy Simpson says "Atmosphere" is
not necessary!
This is what in Sandy Simpson's site "Deception
in the Church" says:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Atmosphere
Benny Hinn claims he needs an "atmosphere"
to do his "miracles".
Interviewer:
If Benny Hinn is real, he'll go into the hospitals and cure everyone
there.
Benny Hinn: "I've been told that many times. What
I tell them is quite simple. Healing most times needs an atmosphere
of faith. I have gone to hospitals. I've done it actually many
times or people's homes and pray for them. Most times, they cannot
get healed. … God's people make it happen; bring this atmosphere
of faith ..." (Benny Hinn, interview by Marla Weech, of WFTV
, "Inside Central Florida")
When did the Apostles need
an atmosphere to heal?
Beware of testing meetings by the atmosphere created there. Like
and Amway meeting or halftime at a football game, an atmosphere
can be manipulated. God does not need an stadium full of screaming
Benny Hinn fans burning with fleshly passion to move. What He
requires is simple obedience to His Word.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bible is very clear that prophets and apostles needed
divine atmosphere to have the presence of God and Holy Spirit
could work in that environment.
Jesus Needed Belief
Bible also tells us that Jesus
could not do much work because of the UNBELIEF of people
as we read in Mat 13:57-58, So they were offended at Him. But
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except
in his own country and in his own house. Now
He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief."
Mark 6:5 Now He could do no
mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few
sick people and healed them.
Mark 6:6 And He marveled because of their
unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit,
teaching.
Elisha needed a Musician
2 Ki 3:14 And Elisha said, "As the LORD of
hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard
the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at
you, nor see you.
2 Ki 3:15 "But now bring me a musician."
Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the
LORD came upon him.
2 Ki 3:16 And he said, "Thus says the LORD: 'Make this valley
full of ditches.'
2 Ki 3:17 "For thus says the LORD: 'You shall not see wind,
nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water,
so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.'
2 Ki 3:18 "And this is a simple matter in the sight of the
LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Elisha could prophecy only when a musician played.
Jesus could do miracles only when there believed in Him. So it
is completely wrong to say that "Atmosphere" is not
necessary.
