From Pain to Power: A Pastor's Journey of Miraculous Healings

What happens when ancient scripture meets modern pain? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa doesn't just read about healing—she lives it. Taking the Bible's instruction to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover" as a literal command, Linda has pursued a healing anointing for years with remarkable results.

The episode centers around a powerful testimony where three people with identical symptoms—pain extending from the right side of the neck down into the shoulder—responded to Linda's call during a service. Among them was a first-time visitor, a tall businessman, who experienced something extraordinary. "I knew, like I knew my name, that he was going to get healed," Linda recounts. Before she could even touch him, he was overcome by divine power so strongly that ushers had to catch him as he fell. When he stood up? Complete healing. Simultaneously, Linda's daughter, who experiences similar pain from her work as a hairstylist, found her discomfort vanished as well.

This isn't just a story about neck pain—it's about what happens when faith intersects physical reality. Linda extends this healing connection directly to listeners, praying with conviction for those experiencing similar conditions. "Your neck is restored, those muscles are restored and everything about you is restored," she declares, bridging the gap between testimony and immediate application. Whether you're a believer or skeptic, these accounts of immediate physical transformation raise compelling questions about healing possibilities beyond conventional medicine.

Hi, I'm Linda Budd.
I'm a pastor at RivergateChurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I
take the scriptures literally.
That says that we are to layhands on the sick and see them
recover, and so for severalyears I've gone after a healing
anointing.

(00:22):
see so many get healed.
I've seen all manner ofsickness and disease healed.
If you have any pain in yourbody, if you're infirmed, if you
have any disease, if you haveany sickness at all, I just
reach my hand up to heaven rightnow in the name of Jesus, and I
call forth the new body partthat you need.
Listen to this testimony.

(00:42):
I was ministering and I had aword of knowledge that there was
pain on the right side of theneck all the way from like what
would be even with the ear, allthe way down into the shoulder,
and so I asked who has thisproblem?
Well, three people responded.
One man in particular wasvisiting for the first time and

(01:03):
I knew, like I knew my name,that he was going to get healed
of that.
I said get up out of your seatand just walk forward, and
that's going to leave you.
And he walked forward and cameup to me and the power of God,
before I could even touch him,hit him so hard that he fell out
and he was a large, tallbusinessman.
But the ushers caught him andanyway, when he got up he was

(01:28):
totally healed of it.
Well, another person was mydaughter, who does hair for a
living and always has her armsup working, and she said the
pain was gone as well.
So if you have pain on the rightside of your neck, where it
feels like it's pulling, I'mtelling you, in the name of
Jesus, that that pain is comingoff of you right now.
