My analysis
Pastor Robert Kayanja has finally released the ‘million dollar’ message( I mean poison) that was preached by Pastor Benny during the holy spirit outpouring conference at Rubaga Miracle centre in June, 2009 . Participants in this conference paid 50US $ each. World faith preachers like Benny Hinn hold incredibly erroneous views of God , the holy spirit, heaven etc.
I see Christians in Uganda reading Benny Hinn’s so called GOOD MORNING HOLY SPIRIT. Most of these people lack the discernment skills to test this text. There are many saints who have exposed the heresies in this book, however so many born again Christians are so lazy to do research. One pastor in Uganda one time told his congregation not to waste time doing research about faith issues on the internet since this will make them more confused. These guys are ‘smart’ they know that once people discover what is going on, the pastors will be in problems. Many saints in Africa are still IT illiterate and this has led to the entrenchment of the deceptive gospel of TBN preachers.

My expose
Check out how the report uses ‘god’ small letters
Check out these quotes from the report
''We must know that the Holy spirit is the power of the trinity… when you see him as a person then and only then will you really experience the power. When people see him as power they end up fanatics but when they see him as a person, they end up all powerful themselves. .’’
‘’Furthermore heaven is a planet; it’s not just some clouds or some space..’’
‘’Angels have no relationship with him-are they not ministering spirits? the bible says they have been made as flaming fire in psalms, sent for the heirs of salvation. Unlike man angels don’t have the capacity to love because angels have no soul. Angels are spirit and body, not soul. Angels have no emotions. Angels are not capable of loving anybody just like they do not take tea and play with your dog. Angels cannot receive revelation too.’’
The angels cry holy-holy-holy. Because of god’s revelation of himself to them, they cry holy. Don‘t ever forget this; angels discover god by watching you. The Holy sprirt cannot reveal god to angels because angels are not capable of receiving revelation from god about his person. That’s why they cannot love him nor does he love them.
Compare with Kenneth Copeland’s view that heaven is a planet
Copeland's diminished view of God is further amplified by a correspondingly inflated view of the universe in general and man in particular. He claims that the earth is "a copy of the mother planet [i.e., heaven] where God lives."[25] Exactly how Copeland could "squeeze" God on any planet is difficult to fathom, especially since Solomon pointed out that heaven itself cannot contain God (1 Kings 8:27).

Compare with Benny Hinn’s Good morning Holy Spirit
BENNY HINN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
There is much about what Benny Hinn says concerning the Trinity with which orthodox Christians can agree. Hinn affirms that God is a "triune being" and that the three persons "are really one in Being" (70, 71, 74). He states clearly that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully God, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit is just as much God as the Father and Son (69-71, 87, 90, 131). He also insists that the Holy Spirit is just as real and personal as the Father and Son (2, 51, 71). As God, third person of the Trinity (49, 73), the Holy Spirit is omnipresent (73, 87-88), unlike the angels or the Devil (88), and He is also omnipotent and omniscient (88-89). The Holy Spirit is a personal friend, companion, and counselor to the Christian (52).
Unfortunately, these biblically sound assertions are mixed with statements which express notions that are unbiblical and unorthodox. That Hinn is presenting a novel view of the Trinity is implied when he informs us that "what I am about to share with you regarding the Godhead gave me an entirely new picture of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (81, emphasis added). In context this "entirely new picture" is evidently new to most Christians, and not something that was merely new at one time to Hinn. Thus he complains that "even dedicated ministers of the gospel" and "clergy" have misled the church in this matter. Throughout this key chapter Hinn claims that most ministers and Christians generally have ignored or even avoided the subject (81, 84, 89).
BENNY HINN ON THE TRINITY
What is this new picture of the Trinity? According to the original version of the book (and even more explicitly in Hinn's sermon on the subject televised October 13, 1990, on TBN), God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, like God the Son, each is a real "person" in the sense that each has his own separate "Spirit, Soul, and Body" (the title of chapter 6, pp. 80-92). Although this teaching is not absolutely new (it has been taught by F. J. Dake, Jimmy Swaggart, and others), it is new enough in most circles to account for Hinn's repeated claim that most Christians and even most ministers have ignored it.
According to Hinn, the Father "is eternal spirit yet with nonmaterial form" (81, 1st ed.), having "the appearance... of a man," described by the prophets as having such "features" as lips, tongue, breath, eyesight, and a back (82). "To my amazement I found that God has the likeness of fingers and hands and a face" (82, 1st ed.). To document that God has a soul in addition to his spirit and body, Hinn notes that in Scripture "God also has a heart" (83).
Jesus is also shown from Scripture to have both a body and soul (83). "And His glorified human body is distinct from the divine form of God the Father" (84).
"But what about the Holy Spirit? Does He also have a mind, will, and emotions? Does He have a body? He certainly does" (84). He "has a mind of His own" that is "distinct from that of the Father and the Son"; "He also has emotions"; and he has a "will" by which it is possible for him "to decide separately from the Father and the Son," though of course "always in harmony with the Godhead" (84, 85).
"It is the question of the 'body' of the Holy Spirit that causes much confusion," however (85). Hinn states, "I believe the Holy Ghost is spirit body, not with actual flesh and blood but a spirit being with form, yet without limitation....Let me tell you why I believe the Holy Ghost is a body -- a spirit body" (86, 1st ed.). His reason, in short, is that as "God the Father looks like Jesus on earth," so also Hinn believes "that as Jesus looked on earth, so the Holy Ghost looks" (87, 1st ed.). "Someday soon I'm going to find out for certain" (87). Hinn evidently does not mean that the Father and the Holy Spirit look exactly like Jesus, since he says that no one knows what the Father's "mysterious form" looks like in detail (72, 82) and that the Holy Spirit "doesn't have ears or a mouth" and "doesn't have eyes like mine" (86). Rather, he seems to mean simply that the Father and the Spirit, like Jesus, each have a body.

kampala, uganda fire conference
http://kayanja.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=124&Itemid=119(accesed on 8th July, 2009)
Pastor Benny Hinn’s fire conference teaching about the Holy spirit in Kampala-Uganda, the power of the godhead, is and will be a pivotal point in the nation’s (church) history. Because of the Holy spirit so much can take place if anyone dare to venture out to know him personally. We must know that the Holy spirit is the power of the trinity. His power is revealed since before the creation story-that of man and the world (god created before they created the earth).
Remember that God created the heavens and the universe. Very often when we come across the word “world”, in our mind, we begin to think of planet earth. But when the bible says the world, it is talking about something way beyond just the earth.
Furthermore heaven is a planet; it’s not just some clouds or some space. According to the bible heaven has trees and rivers, mountains. Remember revelation 7:9 says they were holding palms in their hands. He said he’ll lead them to rivers of living water. Before god created heaven, the universe and the earth, before god created the angels, and all that there is, the spirit of god was. So we discover a lot of scripture that mentions the holy spirit activity.
Remember there are five divisions of angels mentioned in the bible; the Seraphims, Cherubims, living creatures, arch angels, and angels. all these kinds of angels are assigned to different tasks.
The Seraphims declare the glory-Isaiah 6:1-3,
The Cherubims protect the glory-Jeremiah 1,
The living creatures do both declare and protect the glory-revelation 4:6-11,
The arch angels are the waring angels-revelation 12:7-8, and
Then finally angels by the multitudes-the ministering spirits.
Now remember, before god (the word) created the angels, Jesus was not called Jesus just as the word was not called the son of god till the word was made flesh. Jesus was not god the son until he became a man. He was always called the word. in fact the meaning of that is the revelation of who god is .the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory the bible says .that which was from the beginning which our eyes have seen, ears have heard and our hands have handled is the word of life; 1 john 1.
So there comes god the father and god the word. God the father was not called god the father until he got a people-israel.so he was not called god the father but rather “our father, Jehovah god”.
Therefore the three in one godhead we may not really understand that until we are before the father. We shall know as we are known at that moment. But to the best of our ability we can look at ourselves and see that we are trinity- spirit, soul and body. The sun is trinity-sun, light heat. God has shown us himself in his own creation. So when we call him god the father it is because he is now. it was god the son-word, god the holy spirit in eternity past who planned our redemption and made a covenant with each other called the eternal covenant.
There are seven covenants in the bible: and each covenant deals with redemption. The first covenant god made was with Adam called the Adamic covenant .now a covenant has promises, conditions and a covenant, token or a seal. it has to be sealed for it to intact, eternal.
In all this we realize there is an interplay of the holy spirit. He holy spirit is so powerful that the bible tells us he is a person and not just an influence or a mere power .as long as you see him as an influence or as a power, you will never know his power till you know him as a person. But when you see him as a person then and only then will you really experience the power. When people see him as power they end up fanatics but when they see him as a person, they end up all powerful themselves.
You must become acquainted with the Holy ghost as a person. A person is one that has intellect, emotions and will. So if the Holy spirit is a person, treat him like one. The bible tells us in Corinthians that no man knows the things of god but the spirit. And it goes on to say the Holy spirit knows the deep things of god. Things that nobody can find out without him. He knows the depth of the almighty, he is deeper than eternity itself.
The angels cry holy-holy-holy. Because of god’s revelation of himself to them, they cry holy. Don‘t ever forget this; angels discover god by watching you. The Holy sprirt cannot reveal god to angels because angels are not capable of receiving revelation from god about his person. That’s why they cannot love him nor does he love them.
Angels have no relationship with him-are they not ministering spirits? the bible says they have been made as flaming fire in psalms, sent for the heirs of salvation. Unlike man angels don’t have the capacity to love because angels have no soul. Angels are spirit and body, not soul. Angels have no emotions. Angels are not capable of loving anybody just like they do not take tea and play with your dog. Angels cannot receive revelation too.
