Wife of televangelist Benny Hinn files for divorce
The wife of faith healer and televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce in Orange County Superior Court.
Suzanne Hinn filed her divorce papers Feb. 1, according to the court website. Her attorney, Sorrell Trope, could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
The couple married in 1979 and have three daughters and a son, according to a biography on posted on the website for Benny Hinn Ministries.
The silver-haired Hinn is one of the world's most financially successful faith healers.
He lives in a multimillon-dollar home near Salt Creek Beach Park in Dana Point. And he has flown around the world in a leased Gulfstream jet to lead his "Miracle Crusades," during which tens of thousands of followers have packed stadiums and auditoriums to hear Hinn preach about the Gospel and God's healing powers.
Hinn has been a pastor for more than 30 years but remains committed to "winning the lost at any cost," his website says.
Hinn's ministries are headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, and operates a television studio in Aliso Viejo.

Let us pray for brother Benny Hin and his wife, his human and attached by setan ultimately God wins b/s setan is already defeated 2010 years ago. those who insult and curse take off your eyes of human and try to live for your self. Christians dont be intimidated by comments from the world. God has a way here there seems to be no way. Benny hin did nothing but preached the Gospel and used the name of God to cast out devil and to heal. i have never heard him taking the glory of God for what happens. Let God give you insight so you dont jump on every preached. please live your life and be conserned of your salivation
Maay GOD bless Benny hin and his family

Christian or no christian, if your spouse wants to divorce u, u can`t hold them against their will. We don`t know the facts. But i do know, that those who make fun of the matters like this, most likely will have to go through something like that themselves. Unless u`ve been in a situation like this, u can`t possibly imagine what it`s like. So, just zip it and mind your own life.
And same goes for everybody else. Preacher, golf player, movie star, etc.
Stupid Hollywood/celebrity oriented culture.

When Satan cannot get you with sin, he attacks your reputation. A woman is the least of Benny Hinns problems and the divorce is NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. Even when married, people still live their lives. Great Man of God remains "unquestionably committed to his calling". All physical and spiritual haters, sorry, i have bad news for you, the next Miracle Crusade is going to hold! kill yourselves. His God can give him whatever he desires, but you enemies are doomed; keep wallowing in your darkness.

The Devil. accuser of the Brethren is at it again: he will for sure FAIL. If this is true, what Benny's family needs now is our collective prayers and not condemnation or judgement.

Know matter. If not God do. He will fix this.
Mrs. Hinn, don't follow thier advice. Trust your heart. Mr. Hinn, forgive each other.
Drop this Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,...
It is better to remove the avesary from your home before he become strong.

Something good and grat and awesome is about to come out. the God we serve is a great and miraculous God who never fails his own servants.Pastor Benny Hinn and very wonderful people,and I know they love one another, and i know and believe that God is able to restore this marriage..it ain't over till God said its over. (MARK 10:27)AND JESUS LOOKING UNOT THEM SAITH, WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT WITH GOD; FOR WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...THE GOD WE SERVE IS A MIRACLE WORKING GOD...I believe the God we serve is a God of RESTORATION, nd just becoz of whats going on we fix our eyes on Jesus..HEB 12:2..LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS DESPISING THE SHAME, AND IS SET DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD...

IT AIN'T OVER JUST BECAUSES OF PIECES OF PAPERS, GOD IF FAITHFUL WHO CALLED HE WILL SEE THESE WONDERFUL COUPLE THROUGH...GLORY TO HIS NAME JESUS..THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME...LOVE IN JESUS NAME.

The Message Bible
Galatians 6:1 - 3
Nothing but the Cross
1-3 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ's law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.
Galatians 6:1 (Amplified Bible)
Galatians 6
1BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and RESTORE and REINSTATE him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also.

You nay sayers ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You always gloat at someone's troubles. You really ought to be ashamed.

Can we have some serious and spiritual brethren who can visit and counsel Suzanne and get to know where and what the problem is? I want to assure all christians that this is spiritual warfare and we as christians need to stand in the gap for this family and stop behaving immaturely. We are also vulnerable and so we need to pray for them and also take heed or else tomorrow we become the laugh of the day. Spreading such news is spreading gossips. When you get to read about such issues you are suppossed to pray. The Messiah is just around the corner. Last, let us stop judging. We are not better and no one is perfect. Let us stop having the judgmental spirit.
Love you guys and remember to pray for the family of Hinn and Suzanne.

He is human, Has been faithful to serve God. No one twisted peoples are to send the ministry money. People gave in good faith to a cause they believed in. For those who cuss or call him a false prophet woe unto those, youve probably never read the bible thur or even read a whole chapter. They need our prayers not our stupid remarks of not know the whole situation

men of God are the most target of the enemy.i pray for hinns.they too are human beings.God will be with you in the storm and you will come out winners.been blessed by him and just pray for them.

Christians everywhere should pray for this great general of God in his period of tribulation. We need to pray that the wife would repent and retrace her steps because God hates putting away. At the marriage altar, she vowed to stick to him for better for worse.
@ AKV, you claimed there is no God and concluded by quoting Mark Twain. Please find out how Mark Twain died, the pain he suffered, how he groaned regretting that he ever fought against God. Unfortunately, it was too late for him. This is true lesson for all atheists out there and the funny posters who criticize God's annointed. Repent, AKV. Jesus bids you come unto him.
Posted by: Samitos | February 21, 2010 at 01:14 PM
we must pray for them. God knows every details of our life too.God knows who is right and who is wrong. God is the final ultimate judge. May God's will be done!!!

In all the years that I have been affiliated with this ministry, I think it would be most appropriate if the true Christians would come forward and give their testimones, which includes healing, deliverance of family members, salvation, etc. I am a witness to a lot of healings that took place, including my very own healing. Pastor Benny Hinn is none of the 'things' you are calling him. For Christ, you will suffer persecution...and that is so true. Take a real good look at a wonderful, compassionate, and God's choice for this particular ministry. He's the best Bible Teacher one could have and he's the most anointed minister I have ever met in my lifetime. I pray that Pastor Benny and Mrs. Hinn will do what God wants them to do...Not what you, with your bad mouthing thinks they should do.
I pray you receive the gift of praying for him and his family.

Reports say that according to the Audit reports he spend 88% on Ministry. He is not Immoral. His wife for unknown reason is filing a divorce, that to without notice. Why do the fools compare him with Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Warren Jeffs, Floyd Flake. We are already living in curse, let's not bring judgement on ourselves America by touching the anointed. We have to make sure we make it to our destiny, rather than condemning a faithful man of 30+ years.

It amazes me that so many people, professing to be Christians, have such an incredible lack of understanding of the Word of God. This is a sad situation with Benny Hinn and his wife, but they don't need us passing jugement on them, they need our prayers.
As I read through the comments below, I can only shake my head and question if people who truly love God would say such foolishness.
When people are hurting, as this couple obviously are, our responsibility is to uphold them and pray for them. Our prayer should be that they press in to God and really get instructions from Him on what is their next move.
Is the love of God operating in anyone who would judge someone elses marriage? How about anyone who would say that the money he receives for the work of the Kingdom of God is his and will be split with his wife in any divorce?
If we all would accept responsibility for our own lives and pray that we live lives pleasing to God, and allow the Holy Spirit of God to instruct them in their lives, I believe the world would be a better place.

Thanks Tina!
we have no right to judge period... I have known both of them for years..
She is very well off her self has her own ministry and is well know across the country.. soo i know its not for money. and as far as Benny.. He is a great man right or wrong in some of his actions there is a 30+ year marriage falling apart.. they need people to stay out of it and remember THEY ARE HUMAN TOO....
