What happens when one bold request opens the floodgates for a whole room? We share a vivid, moment-by-moment account from a service in Coffeyville, Kansas, where a single man’s ask for four healings turned into a cascade of reported breakthroughs across the congregation. Pastor Linda walks us through her approach to healing ministry—naming specific needs, praying with clarity, watching for signs like unusual heat, and inviting the entire room to receive with expectation.

As the night unfolds, the story moves from individual needs to corporate declarations: new hips, calm nerves, restored prostates, clear hearts, and a striking call for a diabetes-free zone. Alongside the faith-forward language, we emphasize practical wisdom—don’t quit insulin, talk to your doctor, look for measurable changes—so spiritual hope and medical insight work together. Then comes the surprise: the original guest returns with unexpected freedom in his hands, fingers unstuck after years, and two strong fists raised. No one had prayed for this, and that’s precisely the point Linda makes about recognizing when the “glory” is present—less effort, more guidance, and a room learning how to receive.

We also take stock of what collective expectation can do. Mid-service, a dozen hands went up to say they felt healed; by the close, the room—about forty people—signaled the same. Whether you arrive eager or skeptical, this story offers a clear framework: ask specifically, pray persistently, stay grounded in responsible care, and make space for testimonies to build faith.

What if the treatment that always hurts simply doesn’t? We sit with a story that surprises even the people closest to it: a woman braced for severe pain, heard a promise that the pain was taken, and then completed not one but two procedures without the agony she feared. Her husband watched in stunned silence; she went back to work the same day. The account is simple, specific, and disarming—no theatrics, just gratitude.

I share why I take the Bible’s command to lay hands on the sick literally and how that shapes the way I pray for people facing illness, injury, and chronic conditions. Across years of ministry, I’ve watched fear lose ground when someone chooses to ask boldly and expect good. We talk about the difference between hype and hope, how to honor medical care while still praying for more, and why giving God the glory keeps the focus where it belongs. The testimony “Jesus Took the Pain” returns with a second chapter, confirming what happened the first time and strengthening faith for the next visit.

If you’re navigating treatments, dreading side effects, or just longing for a spark of courage, this conversation offers a clear path: remember what helped last time, speak hope before you enter the room, and invite prayer that is simple and specific. Whether you call it a miracle, mercy, or mystery, the story opens space for trust to grow and for peace to interrupt panic.

What if pain didn’t get the final say? We sit down with Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa to explore a simple, powerful practice that changed the atmosphere of a room—and the story of a doctor’s visit. Linda’s approach is disarmingly straightforward: take Scripture at its word, pray with clarity, and speak a concise declaration—“Jesus took the pain.” From there, we trace how dread gave way to peace, how a procedure expected to hurt became unexpectedly painless, and how testimonies multiplied when people named their pain and agreed in faith for relief.

Across this conversation, you’ll hear what “no hype, just presence” looks like in real time. Linda breaks down how she prays—short words, steady focus, and a readiness to measure change—and why agreement in a room can create momentum for healing. We talk about the emotional side of pain, the role of expectation, and how communities can honor both medical wisdom and faith-filled prayer without contradiction. The thread running through each moment is compassion first, then courage: identify what hurts, invite God’s mercy, and celebrate even small steps toward freedom.

If you’re skeptical, bring your questions; if you’re hopeful, bring your need. You’ll come away with practical steps to pray for yourself and others, ideas for sharing testimony responsibly, and a renewed framework for resilience. Listen to the stories, weigh the outcomes, and consider how a simple phrase might open a new chapter in your own healing journey.

What if the pain that’s followed you for years could break in a single, simple prayer? Pastor Linda Budd shares why she takes the words of Jesus at face value—lay hands on the sick and they will recover—and how that conviction shapes a practical, compassionate healing ministry. We walk through a vivid sinus-healing story step by step: the ask, the moment of prayer, the heat and flushing, the deep breaths, and the joy of clear airways. It’s raw, specific, and grounded in years of praying for people with all kinds of symptoms, from nagging aches to chronic disease.

We talk about praying for “new body parts” without flinching, because precision matters when pain is personal. Linda explains how she prays: short, focused, and confident in Jesus’ authority. She invites listeners to test what changes—breathe deeper, move joints, notice relief—and to name aloud what improves. For those who’ve felt overlooked in medical or spiritual spaces, this conversation offers dignity and a direct path to hope. We also tackle the quiet questions people carry: is it real, is it safe to hope, and what do I do next if I need healing now?

If you’re a pastor, event leader, or community organizer, Linda shares how this ministry can serve your people and your city. The goal is simple: bring faith close enough to touch pain, expect relief, and celebrate tangible change. Whether you come skeptical or eager, you’ll hear a clear invitation to ask boldly and receive freely.

Breath can be a miracle when fear has tightened your chest. We open with Pastor Linda Budd sharing why she takes Jesus’ command to heal the sick as an active assignment, not a metaphor. Years of steady prayer shape her posture: ask boldly, act simply, and expect God to move. That conviction comes alive in a vivid testimony of a woman battling a serious lung issue who returns to church, takes a few deliberate breaths, and finds sudden relief. No hype, no theatrics—just a quiet moment where faith and obedience meet.

From there, we talk about why community matters for sustaining breakthrough. Healing is not only a moment but a setting, and the local church provides the environment where prayer, worship, and testimony reinforce each other. If you’ve slipped out of the habit of gathering, consider this a gentle nudge home. Find a congregation that honors Jesus and preaches the full gospel, because faith grows best in a room where hope is spoken and needs are named. Pastor Linda also offers a direct declaration for listeners facing pain, disease, or respiratory issues—an invitation to receive and to test what God may be doing in your body right now.

We also get practical about ministry and momentum. Expectancy is not desperation; it’s alignment with God’s promises. Linda describes the simple pattern that guides her: pray with authority, test results in real time, and share the story so others can believe again. If you’re a leader hungry to reignite faith in your community—or someone longing for a second chance at hope—you’ll find both encouragement and a next step.

What if a voice could return in the span of a breath? We open the door to a midweek service where a visitor arrived in pain and left speaking clearly, and we trace every small step that turned a routine dismissal into a room-wide gasp. From the first nudge to approach a stranger, to naming a stomach issue before it was spoken, to declaring “new vocal cords” and testing the change in real time, we walk through the exact moments that transformed doubt into awe.

I share why I take the biblical call to lay hands on the sick as a present, practical command—and how years of praying for people have shaped a simple rhythm: identify the need, pray with specificity, and verify what changed. You’ll hear how we move beyond vague language, invite the person to participate, and involve the whole room as witnesses. The centerpiece is a clear, observable shift in a woman’s voice—weak and strained one moment, strong and clear the next—and the stunned reaction that followed. For anyone wrestling with voice loss, throat disease, or lingering pain, I speak a direct, compassionate declaration of healing and freedom.

Along the way, we talk pastoral ethics and practical ministry: creating space for unscheduled moments, avoiding pressure, and celebrating improvements without exaggeration. If you’re curious about faith healing, this story offers both encouragement and a framework—expectant without hype, accountable without coldness. And if your community wants to learn how to host and steward this kind of ministry, I’m open to visiting your church or event to teach, pray, and serve.

If this moved you, share it with someone who needs hope, subscribe for more testimonies and practical teaching, and leave a review with your questions or story—we’d love to hear what changed for you.

What if healing begins the moment hope returns to your face? Pastor Linda Budd, from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, opens up about a lifetime of praying for the sick and the many quiet breakthroughs she’s witnessed—some immediate, others unfolding step by step. We walk through a raw, honest testimony of a woman worn down by eleven surgeries and a crumbling marriage, and the moment a simple, specific prayer sparked a visible lift in her spirit. It’s not a sales pitch for quick fixes. It’s a grounded look at how faith and persistence can move both the heart and the body toward recovery.

We explore how practical, scripture-centered habits—reading, applying, and declaring promises from Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24—help listeners reframe identity from being defined by pain to living as people in recovery. Linda shares why she asks boldly for “new knees” or “a new hip,” and how naming the need focuses hope and invites measurable progress. You’ll hear why “grab a hold” is more than a catchphrase; it’s an active way to show up for prayer, stay connected to community, and take steps that align with what you believe about healing. The tone is candid and compassionate, balancing faith-filled expectation with respect for the process and the person.

If you’ve ever wondered whether persistent prayer matters, or how to engage scripture when your body hurts and your heart is tired, this conversation offers both courage and clarity. We aim to help you anchor your healing journey in simple, repeatable practices that build resilience over time. If the story resonates, share it with someone who needs hope today, and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and tell us how you’re grabbing hold of healing this week.

A woman walks in with a list of problems and a walker—and moments later she’s jumping, shouting, and moving like the weight just lifted. That jolt of possibility frames a candid conversation with Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa, where bold, scripture-shaped prayer meets very real human pain. We explore what it looks like to take “lay hands on the sick and they will recover” at face value, and why language like “new knees” and “new hips” can shift a room from resignation to expectancy.

Linda shares how years of praying for people forged a steady confidence: be clear about the need, ask for precise change, and invite movement to test what’s happening. Her testimony centers on presence—the belief that God’s nearness is the decisive factor—while keeping the spotlight on those seeking relief from knee pain, hip issues, back stiffness, fluid retention, heart strain, and immune challenges. As the woman’s companion confirms the before-and-after contrast, we talk about how communal witnesses help validate stories and stir hope without turning them into spectacle.

The conversation also touches on practical ministry rhythms: how to steward moments of apparent breakthrough, how to avoid pressure while still encouraging action, and how a local church creates space for people to try what they couldn’t do. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or eager for your own turning point, you’ll hear a grounded approach that pairs faith with compassionate attention. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how expectation, prayer, and community can intersect when pain feels permanent.

A single sentence can change the room. When Pastor Linda Budd shares how a midday vision of a man slipping on tile led to a packed healing service, we walk through a chain of moments that start small and end in a surge of hope. Alan arrives with a walker and pain that sits heavy on the body and the mind. His first attempt without support is shaky and slow. Then attention shifts to his wife, whose need to be heard floods the aisle—until a clear command slices through the noise: “Jesus Christ heals you.”

What happens next is both startling and deeply human. She screams, spins, and moves in ways she couldn’t moments before, while Linda is thrown backward by what she describes as the palpable presence of God. The fear of the Lord settles in—less terror, more reverent awe—turning the room from tense effort to steady praise. In the wake of that shift, Pastor Linda returns to Alan and asks him to walk. This time he strides the aisle unaided, color back in his face, posture light and confident. It’s the kind of before-and-after that makes you question limits: are we underestimating what faith, authority, and a simple instruction can unlock?

We open up the anatomy of breakthrough—the role of a timely vision, the discipline of cutting through symptom lists, and the courage to test change in real time. Whether you approach healing ministry with bold belief or careful skepticism, the story offers tangible checkpoints: movement measured, pain challenged, and a community witnessing transformation together. Along the way, we talk about why clarity beats complexity, how awe resets the heart, and what it means to keep walking when the cane or walker has defined your days.

Hope doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; it shows up in hospital rooms, late-night services, and long drives across the state. We share a candid journey from our healing ministry at Rivergate Church, where prayer for the sick is more than a line in scripture—it’s a daily practice of showing up, laying on hands, and asking boldly for restoration. You’ll meet a young couple who drove an hour to seek help: a wife enduring relentless colitis and a veteran husband carrying pain in his elbows, shoulders, hips, and knees. Their courage illuminates the heart of faith-led healing—naming real needs, praying specifically, and standing firm even when immediate change doesn’t appear.

We talk through what to do when outcomes delay: return to the word, speak truth over your body, and keep declaring hope with patience and grit. That rhythm isn’t denial; it is discipline. Along the way, we address a quiet reality many caregivers and veterans know well—putting others first while ignoring personal pain—and how a simple invitation to receive prayer can open the door to relief. Testimonies become more than stories; they are signposts that point to what’s possible and create momentum for those still waiting.

If you’re navigating illness, chronic pain, or the weariness of long-term caregiving, you’ll find practical encouragement, honest reflection, and an open hand. We believe the power of prayer meets people where they are and can bring recovery, strength, and peace to body and soul. Listen, share with someone who needs courage today, and tell us your story.
