Episode description

Divine healing isn't just a concept for Pastor Linda Budd—it's a tangible reality she's witnessed firsthand through years of ministry at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking scripture at its word when it instructs believers to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover," Linda has dedicated herself to pursuing a healing anointing that has transformed countless lives.

The power of this ministry reveals itself through remarkable stories, including one about a couple who drove five hours from Wichita, Kansas solely to receive prayer. Their determination was inspired by their friend who had been completely healed of diabetes after Pastor Linda prayed for him during a service. This testimony speaks volumes about faith that motivates extraordinary action—the kind of seeking that, as Linda affirms, prompts God to respond in kind: "When you seek me with all of your heart, I believe that couple is being healed."

Throughout her years of service, Pastor Linda has witnessed healing across the spectrum of human suffering—from chronic pain to serious disease. Her approach combines unwavering faith with compassionate action, creating space for divine intervention in physical reality. These aren't isolated incidents but patterns that have convinced her of God's healing power available today. If you're struggling with health challenges or simply curious about faith healing, Pastor Linda's experiences offer compelling evidence that miracles still happen when we approach God with expectant hearts.
