"The lid is off," says Benny Hinn. The televangelist says he's been sick of the prosperity gospel for a while, and now he's speaking out about it. A video posted Sept. 3 shows the preacher denouncing the prosperity gospel as "an offense to the Holy Spirit." "I'm sorry to say prosperity has gone a little crazy," Hinn says. "And I'm correcting my own theology, and you need to all know it, because when I read the Bible now, I don't see it with the same eyes I saw it 20 years ago."
"I believe it's an offense to the Lord, it's an offense to say, 'Give $1,000,'" he says. "I think it's an offense to the Holy Spirit to put a price on the gospel. I'm done with it. I will never again ask you to give $1,000 or whatever amount, because I believe the Holy Ghost is just fed up with it."
Hinn says this theology hurts the gospel.

I truly hope that his change of heart is genuine. I agree. This is an unexpected surprise. I wonder if he's ill and making his peace with God before he dies? Yeh, I know - we'll have to wait and see.

Prosperity Gospel Has ‘Damaged a Lot of People,’ Benny Hinn Says in New Interview
Hinn was impacted, he said, by the testimonies of people who heard his previous messages and told him they never received the promised blessing – such as a “100-fold return” on a monetary gift.
“I've had people come to me and say, ‘Please, don't say it again. It's not working in my life.’ And you know, sometimes you dismiss it,” he said. “Other times, you just don't know what to say or do. But it has damaged a lot of people.”
“I'm thinking about that wonderful Christian sitting there [watching television],” Hinn said. “What if that 100-fold never came back? What does it do to their faith? What does it do to his future and her future? Let’s be honest: How many do you know that ever got the 100-fold return?”
Asked to define “gospel,” Hinn answered, “The gospel is Jesus, the Son of God, [who] came to earth, lived a sinless life, proved to be the Son of God, by the miracles, and by death and resurrection. And we have to preach Jesus, crucified, and Jesus resurrected. And to point people to the cross. Because the cross is life. The cross is what brings change to their life.”
