Daily Inspiration Quote by Benny Hinn

"Because we are continually growing in the Lord, preachers and lay people alike must be open to the Lord's correction"

About this Quote

A savvy bit of pastoral inoculation is hiding in plain sight here. Benny Hinn frames “correction” as an inevitable byproduct of “continually growing in the Lord,” which makes change sound less like damage control and more like spiritual maturity. The line doesn’t merely encourage humility; it builds a theological permission slip for revisions, reversals, and recalibrations without conceding error in the ordinary sense. If you’re “growing,” yesterday’s certainty can be quietly reclassified as yesterday’s stage.

The phrase “preachers and lay people alike” is the democratic flourish that makes the ask feel fair. In practice, it also consolidates authority: everyone is under correction, but the mechanism of identifying what the Lord is “correcting” tends to flow through the pulpit, the platform, and the ministries that claim special discernment. Equality of accountability pairs neatly with inequality of interpretive power.

Context matters because Hinn’s career sits at the crossroads of televangelism, the prosperity gospel’s promises, and periodic controversies over healing claims, money, and shifting prophetic rhetoric. In that ecosystem, “be open to correction” functions as soft armor. It signals piety to supporters (look, we’re teachable) while preempting critics (you’re attacking growth). The subtext is less “question everything” than “accept adjustment as faithfulness.” It’s a pastoral tone with a strategic edge: sanctify evolution, keep the movement cohesive, and turn doubt into a test of whether you’re resisting the Lord rather than scrutinizing the leader.
