What Happens When Angels Touch Your Cheek?

Faith comes alive through extraordinary testimonies of divine healing in this powerful account from Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture at its word, Pastor Linda has devoted years to pursuing a healing anointing, seeing countless people healed through the simple act of laying on hands and declaring new body parts for those suffering.

The centerpiece of this episode is an astonishing testimony from Coffeyville, Kansas, where the supernatural broke into the natural in remarkable ways. When a man requested prayer for multiple health issues including hip problems, sciatica, prostate concerns, and heart issues, something extraordinary unfolded. Not only did these conditions respond to prayer, but unexpectedly, his hands—which weren't even mentioned in prayer—were completely restored. His fingers, stuck together for years following an injury, suddenly separated, allowing him to make a fist for the first time in years.

What makes these accounts particularly compelling is how the healing extended beyond individuals to the entire congregation. Pastor Linda describes the moment she declared the church a "diabetes-free zone" and how all forty attendees ultimately reported healing by the service's end. She shares her personal confirmation of divine presence—the sensation of an angel touching her cheek—signaling moments when extraordinary healing is about to manifest. Whether you're skeptical or a firm believer, these testimonies invite us to consider the possibility that faith still works miracles today. Ready to experience something beyond the ordinary?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
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 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):
I was in Coffeyville, kansas,and a lady had just gotten her
hip and her sciatica healed anda man had been sitting in the
front row and he was reallyexcited about all the healings
that were taking place.
And so he stood up and he saidwould you give me heal?
The four things?
And so I went, one at a time,to get new body parts for all

(01:06):
the problems he had.
The first was a hip problem.
So we got him a new hip inJesus name, then the sciatica
nerve in the leg, and then hedeclared that he was just so hot
and I told him and everyonewhen you're praying for healing
and you get high, it's a sign tokeep praying because God's
healing you.

(01:26):
Well, we then got him a newprostate, and not only for him,
but all the men in the room.
I had faith for that, since Godwas touching this man so
strongly and the glory waspresent.
I then began to declare thatthis church was a diabetes-free
zone.
Numbers were going to come intoproper alignment.
I instructed them not to getoff of insulin but to consult

(01:50):
with your doctor, but I saidthere would be a noticeable
change.
Everyone was getting a newpancreas.
This man had also told me hewas having heart issues, so I
began to get him a new heart inthe name of Jesus, and I told
him he was getting newventricles and the veins were no
longer blocked and that hewould begin to feel very good.

(02:11):
Well, people all over thecongregation were receiving this
for themselves as well, as Ireleased it on all, and they
were really excited when I saidit, because it was like they
knew that he had this problem.
They knew that he had thisproblem.
When the service ended, therehad been so many healings in the
glory that I asked everyonejust to come forward and come to
the front and we would give Godall the glory and put our hands

(02:33):
in the air and just praise himfor all that he'd done.
Well, this man.
He began to show me and all inthe congregation that he could
open and close his hands andmake two fists.
He had not been able to do thatfor years.
Then he showed us that his twomiddle fingers were no longer
stuck together.
He showed me a scar in his handwhere he had taken a cut from

(02:55):
the fall and from that time onhis fingers were stuck and he
couldn't make a fist in eitherhand.
Now the fingers came apart anda bump that had been on his hand
was gone and he could make afist.
And everyone was so excitedbecause they knew this man and
they knew it to be so.
And this is what happens in theglory.

(03:16):
I didn't pray for this man'shands and I didn't know about
any of these hand issues.
So when I walked into thatchurch, the angel of the Lord
touched my cheek on the leftside and I know that when that
happens, that the glory ismanifest.
And when that happens, I know Idon't have to do a whole lot of
anything other than directpeople to receive, but that

(03:38):
God's going to heal them in amajor way, and that is what our
Lord did, glory to God.
About halfway through thatservice, I had asked people how
many are healed, and about 12people had already raised their
hands, and at the close, theyall raised their hands that they
were healed.
And so there were approximatelyaround 40 people and they all

(04:00):
stated that they were healed.
And when I questioned a secondtime, they still said yes, we're
all healed.
And so that's when I quit, andthat's when I called everybody
up to just praise God and to gohome.
Well, when I did that, theneven more people started getting
different things happening, andso it was just really amazing,

(04:24):
glory to God.
Aren't these just greattestimonies of the goodness of
God and the healing power ofJesus Christ?
