Benny Hinn's teaching is directly linked to the Apostle Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:16: "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man". This prayer is a key scripture underpinning his message.

According to Hinn, a strong inner man has several direct effects on a believer's life:
Victory over sin: The inner man gains the fortitude to refuse sinful actions and do what is right.
Spiritual maturity: The process leads to a deeper dimension of discipleship, resulting in maturity in strength, faith, and the fullness of God.
A victorious life: As the inner man is energized, a person becomes more fervent in their faith, more enthusiastic about the Word, and more courageous in sharing the Gospel.
Divine direction: The spiritually-energized inner man directs the body to do God's will, while the old nature must be constantly watched and subdued.
