Hear a Healing Happen LIVE!
WELCOME to Issue #195 of The Seedhead from Alex and Hannah at Dandelion Resourcing - a weekly confidence booster to help you step into naturally supernatural discipleship and mission!
Listen to this INCREDIBLE recording of a pastor receiving supernatural healing for his severely damaged voice WHILE HE TAUGHT ON GOD’S HEALING POWER!
After catching a virus that penetrated deep into his throat, Pastor Duane Miller found his voice had turned into a raspy, hugely strained mess, marked by what multiple doctors and specialists later identified as irreparably damaged vocal cords.
Three years later, after resigning his job and moving back to their home city of Houston, Miller had given up his career to work in a research role that didn’t require much voice usage. At the church where they belonged, he was asked to cover a teacher absence in an adult Sunday School class, and very reluctantly agreed to do so.
The text for the day came from Psalm 103:1-5 “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Here’s the recording:
It’s powerful to replay the start of the video again, just to realize how bad his voice was pre-healing. And if you want to read the back story, Miller writes about it here (20 years after the original healing - so this was no blip!).
As Miller pointed out, while Scripture never promises that we will always be healed when we ask God, we should never stop believing that He can do such a thing. God is good and mighty, and while there are mysteries occurring that are way above our pay grade, we can always look to Him for the miracle.
Our job is to keep on trusting Him whatever the outcome, putting His name and His fame in top place in our lives. Whether or not the request is answered as we’d wish, He is our only hope. “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68)
Be encouraged by this amazing recording! Let it inspire you to press into God and His goodness again, bringing that request afresh, while not holding Him (or your faith) hostage to the outcome.
Next Steps
Where in life do you need to trust afresh the God who “heals all your diseases”?
What will this look like in practice?
Healing the sick is such an amazing thing to do… but many people feel uncertain why or how to proceed.
If you’d like some training in both the theology and practicalities of healing the sick, check out Part A of the Naturally Supernatural Course, or our book Healing the Sick.
It’s time to be proactive in healing the sick!

P.S. Most of you will be aware that Alex is undergoing treatment for cancer of the larynx. He’s now 1/4 of the way through radiation treatment! We’d greatly appreciate your prayers for him, specifically for relief from an increasingly painful and swollen throat, as well as for our witness as we go through this journey. Thank you!
