Benny and Suzanne Hinn to Remarry in March
Monday, March 04, 2013Omoba
Charismatic pastor and evangelist Benny Hinn has
announced that he and Suzanne Hinn, whom he divorced in 2010, will celebrate
the restoration of their marriage in a ceremony on March 3 that will be
conducted by Dr. Jack Hayford. Describing how he and Ms. Hinn "are more in
love with each other than ever before," Pastor Hinn shared in a newsletter
with supporters, you can read it below:
It all began at Christmas when we were together at Suzanne’s house in Orlando,
Florida. Suzanne and I and all of our children and grandchildren were there. It
was a beautiful day I will never forget, and that is when the Lord began to do
His mighty work.
Suzanne and I want to thank you, from the bottom of
our hearts, for praying for us and our family. The Lord has surely answered
your prayers! Suzanne and I are more in love with each other than ever before.
The covenant we made with God more than 30 years
ago was never broken in His sight. Both of us believe our greatest days are
ahead and the best is yet to come.
The last three years have been very painful for
Suzanne and me and for the children—more painful than we can ever explain or
describe. Suzanne and I will share much more with you in a future letter and
soon on This Is Your Day. Please be watching next Thursday and Friday, June
7–8.
Our marriage died for two reasons. One, I, Benny
Hinn, was married to the ministry, not realizing it was killing my marriage.
And two, Suzanne started taking certain prescription medications to help her
cope with some of her personal struggles. She became dependent on those for
nearly 15 years, and those medications made her behave erratically at times. As
her husband, I did not know what kinds of medicine she was taking or realize
what they were doing to her.
After the divorce, Suzanne, on her own accord,
decided that she needed professional help to gain freedom from her chemical
dependence and checked herself into the Betty Ford clinic in early 2010. And
for three and a half months she underwent exhaustive treatment. Today she is
totally set free from the need for these medications—she is completely
whole—and for that I give the Lord Jesus the praise.
The truth of the matter is that Suzanne filed for
divorce because she was crying out for help. The divorce most certainly woke me
up, and the Lord used it to show me—as a man of God and as a man—that I cannot
function properly without my wife and family.
Not only did our family suffer as a result, but the
ministry also suffered greatly. Many partners walked away, not realizing or
knowing what took place and why. But I believe that the Lord is restoring not
just my family but also the ministry.
I need you as my partner today more than ever. And
I promise you I will continue to preach the Gospel with all my heart and with
Suzanne at my side. She and I will travel the world together, ministering the
Gospel and the power of God. And we both believe that God will not only save
lives and heal bodies but will also heal families. God is no respecter of
persons, and if He did it for us, He will do it for others.
Because of our experience, God will do more with us
in the future.
I need to hear from you today. Again thank you,
from the depths of our hearts, for your prayers and financial support. And I’m
asking you again today to help Suzanne and me to continue serving the Lord as
we must. We have many crusades planned oversees and in the U.S., and we must
keep the ministry strong through television, crusades, and helping the needy
around the world.
I await your response today and pray the Lord will
bless you and keep you as the apple of His eye, hiding you under the shadow of
His wings, meeting all your needs—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and
financially—and blessing your family and home, bringing glory to His name,
Benny Hinn
I pray some of our pastors who have divorced their wives can learn a lesson from this.
