If you’ve ever wondered what “laying on of hands” sounds like when someone truly expects healing, you’re about to hear it. We sit with Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as she shares why she takes scripture literally and why she’s spent years pursuing what she calls a healing anointing. Her tone is simple and direct: pray in the name of Jesus, believe for recovery, and watch for real change in real people. 

We move from conviction to practice as Linda prays for anyone listening with pain, sickness, disease, or physical limitation, even asking God for the specific help a person needs. Then she tells a striking Christian healing testimony about a new woman at church who was struggling on multiple fronts, including Bell’s palsy. Linda describes praying and seeing the facial condition improve, then later praying for the woman’s heart in her office and hearing that it was healed too. 

The conversation doesn’t stay only on physical healing. It turns toward mental health and spiritual weight as Linda talks about major depression, bondage, and what she calls a spirit of heaviness. You’ll hear the kind of deliverance prayer language that some faith communities use and the way she frames freedom as something Jesus actively gives. If you’re searching for faith healing, prayer for depression, Christian testimonies, or what Rivergate Church Tulsa believes about healing, this is a clear, unfiltered listen.
