A pastor shared a powerful testimony that resonates with many people. He experienced a miraculous healing from lifelong dyslexia, despite not actively seeking it.
Pastor Healed From Life-long Dyslexia
Pastor Kevin Benson, a preacher from Hillsboro Vineyard, shared his personal testimony about enduring a lifelong battle with dyslexia.
“The Lord helped me,” he said. “I developed pretty good coping skills. I had books on CD and my Bible on CD. And had frankly just lost interest of ever being healed of that, and didn’t even care about it anymore.”
On one occasion, he attended Bethel Church without any expectation of being healed. His sole purpose was to listen to Bill Johnson, adopting a “been there, done that” mindset.
“I just want to hear Bill Johnson, and then go back to vacation,” he recalled.

While Pastor Bill Johnson began preaching, Pastor Kevin attentively listened. However, he did not anticipate that Pastor Bill would pray for healing that very night.
Pastor Kevin recalled what Pastor Bill said: “I’m gonna try and do this without crying because the Lord wants to heal trauma. Head trauma and dyslexia.”
How A Pastor Healed From Life-long Dyslexia
As soon as Pastor Bill spoke those words, Pastor Kevin immediately sensed the tangible presence of God.
“The left side of my brain went numb and began to tingle. And I’m dumb but I’m not stupid. I knew what was happening and I immediately went into repentance,” the pastor said.
And then, the pride in his heart melted as he prayed, “Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God! Don’t let my wicked, unbelieving heart stop what You’re doing in my brain. Don’t let my ‘can’t doubt attitude’ stop what You want to do. Because… Why? Why would You do this? I don’t deserve this!”
The pastor openly acknowledged that he did not request the healing, yet God granted it to him. He was astonished that he received his healing by simply sitting there, unable to believe what had just happened.
God Of Miracles
Weeks later, while on vacation with his wife, the pastor shared the incredible experience with her. To demonstrate the reality of his healing, he picked up a magazine and began reading it to her. His wife was taken aback and exclaimed, “What?!”
“I couldn’t tell another soul for one month. It was just too tender, it was too holy And I just repented for a month. I got up a month later and told my congregation. You could hear people crying all over the congregation because they knew me. They knew my struggles, they knew,” he said.
In the following weeks, Pastor Kevin’s relationship with God grew even deeper. He dedicated five to six hours each day to meditating on the Word of God.
“God absolutely is still– I don’t care if you camp out, I don’t care what your problem is– His grace is sufficient for his children,” he concluded.
