The wife of the man who died soon after he was said to have been healed by American televangelist Benny Hinn seven years ago had this bit of advice for sick people who plan to attend Hinn's crusade this month: Visit a doctor instead.
"Don't believe in any man. Believe that Jesus can help you," Molly Chance said on Monday.
Chance's ailing husband, Marcano Siewkumar, went to Hinn's crusade at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain in 1999.
Struggling to walk, he was chosen as one of the people to be healed that night, and was lifted onto the stage.
Hinn is returning to Trinidad for a three-day crusade from May 19.
Siewkumar, who suffered with heart disease, kidney failure and hypertension, was told he was healed.
The Siewkumar miracle as it was called was broadcast on a Christian television cable channel by Hinn who said he had cast out more demons in Trinidad than anywhere else he had preached.
Chance said her husband was bitter until his death, which came 33 days after the healing.
At her home in Douglas Trace, Barrackpore, Chance recalled: "When he came home, he believed he was healed. He walked off that stage without help. He felt real good. But three days later, he said we should take him to hospital."
She added: "My husband said the man didn't heal him."
Siewkumar, a 61-year-old cane farmer, was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital, then Mt Hope, and died at the Port of Spain General Hospital.
His wife said: "He was Hindu. But he took Jesus when he started getting sick. But he should never have put his faith in Benny Hinn. If I get sick. I would not put my faith in Benny. I would put it in Jesus."
Chance said many people who listened to Hinn might be given false hope.
During his first visit Hinn also prayed for Prime Minister Patrick Manning who said in 2002 that the pastor had predicted his election victory.
Manning said then Government had contacted Hinn's representatives for a follow-up visit.
In addition to not putting faith in Benny Hinn, don't put your money in his wallet either. The man is a complete fraud.
Never be sorry for being right.
I Nominate Marcano for a Darwin Award!

You have a better chance of being healed by Benny Hill.
Everytime I see a picture of Benny Hill that stupid theme song starts playing in my head...
I miss Benny Hill.
Are his shows out on DVD yet?
Me too, but I can also clearly visualize the Hill's Angels bikini girls; -)...
He's not even a Christian. Among other things, he believes the Trinity is actually nine persons!

"I'd advise ya to keep prayin', Oxmyx!"
Benny Hinn has never claimed he is the healer.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Actually, you may be right! Laughter is the best medicine, they say!
Never open you wallet to Benny Hinn - he'll just go out and buy himself some cool new toy with it. He IS a charlatan!
Darwin Award
"Benny Hinn has never claimed he is the healer."
He might not have taken the credit but he sure took the loot for it.
Five years ago, almost to the day, got out of hospital and began tithing to Benny Hinn out of my disability check.
Couldn't crawl then--let alone walk, but in less than 2 months I was walking!
ROTFLM*O! Went to doctor and he growled, "Mister, you are a paraplegic--you can NOT WALK! So don't come in here standing up, telling me you turned your wheelchair back in.
"You CAN NOT WALK!"
Money well spent on this end, don'tchaknow!???
Benny claims to have the gift of healing, and also claims to receive personal messages and prophecies from the Holy Ghost, all of which have been false prophecies.
Benny may be channeling a spirit, but it's not the Holy Spirit, that is for sure.
I just see him slapping Little Jackie Wright on the top of his head.
It is a prerequisite for being on TBN.

He might not have taken the credit but he sure took the loot for it.
He's a false prophet by definition; he pronounced the man healed when he was not:
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
--Deuteronomy 18:20-22
"He's a false prophet"
I see what the problem is, it's a matter of observation. You see prophet, he sees profit.
Must be the dead guys fault, he didn't believe enough. < /sarcasm>
APPARENTLY THE HERETIC HAS BEEN WORKING OFF SHORE!
TBN isn't all bad. They do air Way of the Master. Why they do is beyond me; he bashes the "feel-good" gospel that permeates much of their programming.
As the others pointed out, Hinn is not from God. Even if he pointed to God for credit, this man still died from his illness. That's not the hand of God, lying to someone about being healed.
You sleep with dogs (Crouch's) you get fleas.
My Dear Grandmother had Money Milked Out of her by Hinn and was Convinced he was a man of God for Many Years. :(
Many will Say to Me in that Day, Lord, Lord, have we not Prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have Cast Out devils? and in Thy Name Done Many Wonderful Works?And then will I Profess Unto them, I Never I Knew you: Depart from Me, ye that Work Iniquity. (Matt.7)
That's not a toupee, it's a hat!
Then, good sir, that is the ugliest hat I've EVER seen.
Usually it's the televangelists' wives that have crazy hair...
