Laying Hands on the Sick Is Transforming Lives at Rivergate Church

What happens when someone takes biblical healing promises completely literally? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa has spent years pursuing what she calls a "healing anointing," praying for the sick and witnessing remarkable recoveries that defy conventional explanation.

Linda shares how her journey began with a simple but profound decision to believe scripture at face value - particularly the passages about laying hands on the sick. The results have been nothing short of transformative, with healings occurring across "all manner of sickness and disease." Her passion is palpable as she recounts specific testimonies, including a powerful story about a teenage girl suffering from severe kidney infection.

The testimony reveals more than just physical healing; it highlights the broader impact of Linda's ministry. The teenage girl's mother, single-handedly raising five adopted children with various challenges, found not just medical relief but a renewed sense of hope and support through this experience. Linda extends this same healing declaration to listeners facing similar health challenges, demonstrating her unwavering faith in divine intervention regardless of circumstance.

For those intrigued by Linda's approach to healing ministry, she welcomes opportunities to share her experiences and insights at churches, conferences, and motivational events. Reach out to Rivergate Church at 918-492-5511 to learn more about having Linda speak at your next gathering. Her message stands as a bold reminder of faith's potential impact on physical wellness in a world increasingly dominated by purely medical approaches to healing.
