When God's Healing Touch Transforms Lives Against All Odds

Divine healing moves in mysterious ways. Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa shares her journey of pursuing a healing anointing based on the literal interpretation of scripture. With refreshing authenticity, she recounts how years of faithful ministry have yielded remarkable outcomes for people suffering from various ailments.

The centerpiece of this powerful testimony involves a woman who arrived in a mobility scooter, unable to walk due to severe leg pain. Though initial prayers didn't restore her mobility, something unexpected happened—the excruciating pain in her thumb completely disappeared. This partial miracle brought immense joy and functionality back to the woman's hand. Pastor Linda uses this story to illustrate a profound truth: healing often manifests in unexpected ways, and persistence in faith is crucial even when immediate results aren't visible.

Throughout this heartfelt message, Pastor Linda boldly declares healing over listeners suffering from hand pain and mobility challenges. Her confidence stems from witnessing countless transformations firsthand. She speaks with conviction about the reality of divine intervention in our physical bodies while acknowledging that healing sometimes comes gradually or in surprising forms. For those seeking their own breakthrough, this testimony offers both hope and practical encouragement to remain steadfast in prayer.

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.

You need Listen to thistestimony.
A woman came in.
She was in a scooter.
She was with a man that wasbent over.
I said what can I do for you?
She said I have so much pain inmy legs I cannot walk.
And I said well, come on uphere in your scooter.
I said can you get out of thescooter?

(01:04):
She said, yes, I'm willing.
I said walk to me.
She began to walk to me and shejust totally froze up.
She could hardly walk.
Her legs just became justtotally stiffened and we began
to pray for her and we didn'tsee any improvement in her legs
and got her back in her scooterand she went back to her seat.

(01:25):
But then she called me over andshe said I had terrific pain in
my thumb and it's all gone.
And so I just want to say toyou don't give up.

infirmity out, if you'restanding for healing, if you're

give up.
I say to you, in the name ofJesus, that your God is the
healer and he will come, and hewill come swiftly and he will
heal you.
She was elated that the pain inher thumb had left and in her
hand because now she could useher hand.
And I declare over you thathave hand pain that that pain is

(02:10):
going to leave you right now,in the name of Jesus, and those
of you in scooters.
