Healing For Hurting Feet

What if the pain that shapes your day could end faster than you expect? Pastor Linda Budd shares how a straightforward act of faith—praying for specific injuries and conditions—led to a vivid, measurable outcome: her husband’s lingering foot pain disappeared, then held up under the pressure of a 17.5-mile hiking week. No theatrics, just a clear before-and-after and a call to ask boldly.

We walk through the heart of Linda's healing practice: taking the biblical instruction to lay hands on the sick at face value, focusing prayer on concrete needs, and using testimony to fuel expectation. She explains why targeted prayer—a foot that goes numb, an ankle that aches, knees that limit stride—can help people pray with clarity and track results in everyday life. The story doesn’t stop at the moment of prayer; it’s stress-tested on the trail, turning a private breakthrough into public confidence. Along the way, Linda reflects on how testimonies spread courage and why believing you can receive healing changes how you notice pain, movement, and progress.

For listeners exploring faith-based healing, this conversation offers practical steps: name the need, ask plainly, and watch for sustained change that shows up in real tasks like walking, working, and hiking. We talk about blending faith with prudence—honoring medical insight while also inviting prayer—and how communities can document outcomes with care and honesty. If you’re carrying pain or limited mobility, consider this your prompt to try again, to pray again, and to expect more than temporary relief.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more stories that test faith in real life, and leave a review to tell us what you want prayer for next.

Linda Budd (00:00):
Hi, I'm Linda Budd.
I'm a pastor at RivergateChurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
And I take the scripturesliterally that says that we are
to lay hands on the sick and seethem recover.
And so for several years I'vegone after a healing anointing.
I've prayed for people dozensof times over the years, and I

(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.

(00:43):
We were going after feet to behealed, and anything that was
causing lameness in the bodywhere people couldn't walk
right, whether it was hips,whether it was knees, ankles,
feet.
And uh my husband said, I havea foot problem.
And I didn't really know thathe did because he was kind of

(01:05):
quiet about it.
But he said, Yeah, I feel likeI feel like sometimes it wants
to go numb.
He said, and then it's painful.
And so we got him a new foot inthe name of Jesus in that
service.
And I have to tell you that itmanifested right there on the
spot.
He said the pain left and hedidn't feel it any longer.

(01:27):
Well, then the next day we leftto go on a hiking trip, and a
total of 17 and a half mileswere hiked that week, and he
said that his foot was justfine, it didn't hurt at all, it
wasn't numb, he didn't have oneproblem at all, and his hook was
completely healed.

(01:47):
I want to say to you in thename of Jesus that if this rings
true for you, that you have afoot or a toe or anything else
right there that needs healing,that the healer is here right
now, his name is Jesus, and ifyou will just believe, you can
receive your healing as well.
And so I say that right now toyou that the pain is leaving
