Episode description

What happens when faith meets physical affliction? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa takes us on a profound journey through her experiences with divine healing. With unwavering conviction, she shares how taking Scripture literally has transformed her ministry and the lives of countless individuals seeking physical restoration.

The raw power of testimony shines through as Pastor Linda recounts her encounters with both belief and skepticism. She candidly discusses a particularly challenging case—a woman whose palpable unbelief created a spiritual barrier that affected even the pastor's own faith. This honest acknowledgment reveals the complex interplay between healer, seeker, and divine power that often goes unaddressed in conversations about faith healing.

Pastor Linda offers practical wisdom for those pursuing physical restoration, emphasizing the critical importance of our declarations. "Declare a thing and decree a thing and it shall be established," she reminds us, highlighting how our words can either align with or contradict divine intention. Her guidance cuts through spiritual platitudes with actionable steps: submit to God's word, participate consistently in healing services, create an atmosphere of faith, and speak life over your situation. The culminating revelation—that we must live as though already healed while awaiting physical manifestation—provides a powerful framework for approaching any health challenge. Ready to experience transformation in your own body or ministry? Connect with Pastor Linda through Rivergate Church and discover how these principles might reshape your understanding of divine healing.

Pastor Linda's Healing Ministry Introduction

Speaker 1

Hi , I'm Linda Budd . I'm a pastor at Rivergate Church in Tulsa , oklahoma , and I take the scriptures literally . That says that we are to lay hands on the sick and see them recover . And so for several years I've gone after a healing anointing . I've prayed for people dozens of times over the years and I see so many get healed .

I've seen all manner of sickness and disease healed . If you have any pain in your body , if you're infirmed , if you have any disease , if you have any sickness at all , I just reach my hand up to heaven right now in the name of Jesus and I call forth the new body part that you need .

Testimony About Unbelief

Listen to this testimony . There's a woman that has so many different things wrong in her body and she doesn't come very often to sit in a healing service . She's not consistent , but when she comes there's just total unbelief on her . You can feel it and you can see it . And so she came and in my mind I knew she wasn't going to get healed .

Probably I didn't have any faith for her because of what I see and she doesn't have any faith , and so when I asked her what was wrong with her , she couldn't even name off one thing . She just wanted to say my whole body is falling apart .

Guidance for Seeking Healing

First of all , I've got to tell you that if you want to be healed , you do have to submit yourself to the word of God . You have to submit yourself to constant healing services . Sometimes You've got to be in a place of faith and you can't give declarations about yourself that everything is wrong .

The Bible says declare a thing and decree a thing and it shall be established . And we must decree over our lives that we are being healed and remember that all healing comes from jesus and all sickness comes from the devil .

Therefore , don't take it and just rise up and say I'm going to do whatever I need to do to go after god until I receive my healing . He died on the cross for it . I know I'm already healed , now I just need it to manifest in Jesus' name . Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus
