When Canes Become Souvenirs: Unexpected Miracles at Rivergate

The remarkable power of faith healing takes center stage as Pastor Linda Budd shares her journey and extraordinary testimonies from her ministry at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture at its word—that believers should "lay hands on the sick and see them recover"—Linda has dedicated years to developing a healing anointing that has transformed countless lives.

At the heart of this episode lies a powerful testimony of divine intervention. A husband and wife arrive at church—he dependent on a cane due to debilitating neuropathy, she silently suffering from panic attacks rooted in childhood trauma. What happens next defies conventional explanation. As Pastor Linda ministers to the man, visible transformation occurs before the congregation's eyes. Hesitantly surrendering his cane, he begins lifting his feet in marching motions—an ability his tearful wife confirms was previously impossible. Meanwhile, through supernatural insight, Linda addresses the root of the wife's panic attacks, breaking chains of trauma that had bound her since childhood. The couple who arrived burdened with affliction leave completely transformed, carrying the cane only as a souvenir of their former condition.

Pastor Linda extends this same healing anointing to listeners, speaking words of faith directly to those suffering from neuropathy and other conditions. Her approach bridges ancient biblical practices with contemporary needs, offering hope where conventional treatments have sometimes fallen short. The testimonies shared demonstrate a fascinating intersection of faith and healing that continues to impact lives today. For those seeking similar breakthrough or wishing to witness these miracles firsthand, Pastor Linda welcomes speaking invitations through Rivergate Church. Experience the transformative power that occurs when Scripture's healing promises are embraced with unwavering faith.

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):
A lady called in who attends ourchurch and she comes by herself
.
I didn't even know she wasmarried, but she said I want to
come to the Miracle HealingService and bring my husband.
He's got problems.
And so she came with him and Isaw him for the first time and
he did look like he had problems.

(01:04):
He was walking with a cane andhe was very slow.
And so, as the serviceprogressed, I said sir, what do
you need?
And he said I have neuropathy.
And so I said are your feet andlegs numb?
And he said no, but they burnand it's very difficult for me
to put my shoes on.
It just takes me forever and soforth.

(01:25):
And I said well, if you willstand up and walk to me, the
neuropathy is going to leave youand you're going to get your
feedback and you won't need thatcane any longer.
And so he began walking theaisle with his cane.
When it got to me, the power ofGod hit him.
You could see it.
And I said now give me yourcane, you don't need it.

(01:49):
And he was hesitant and I saidI'll take your hand and we began
to walk around a little bit andthen he turned to the whole
congregation and he startedlifting his feet up and down
like if he were marching inplace, lifting his feet up and
down like if he were marching inplace.
And I thought that this wasgoing on, and so I said is this

(02:12):
normal?
He said no, I couldn't do this.
And his wife was sitting thereand she began to cry and cry and
she said he could not do that.
And so I noticed that when theyleft the building, he was
walking without his cane and hewas just carrying it.
And then the great part is is.

(02:33):
We asked her what do you needto be healed of?
And she, oh, she had respondedto a word of knowledge about
somebody trying to catch theirbreath and it was a panic attack
.
And she said yes, that's me.
And so she walked the aisle andwe said that's no longer going
to be on you, and the power ofGod hit her as well.

(02:54):
And then suddenly I saw apicture of when she was a young
girl and something with her dadthat caused this panic and she
said yes, and all of that cameoff of them.
So that couple got to leave thebuilding, leave the church,
leave the presence of God and gohome healed in the name of

(03:15):
Jesus.
If you suffer with neuropathy,I declare right now to you, in
the name of the Lord, that thepain of the neuropathy is
stopping, the problem isstopping and you are being set
free right now in the name ofJesus.
Aren't these just greattestimonies of the goodness of
