Episode description

"The joy of the Lord is my strength." These powerful words form the foundation of Pastor Linda Budd's healing ministry at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture at its word, Pastor Budd has dedicated years to cultivating what she calls a "healing anointing" – the divine ability to facilitate physical and spiritual restoration through prayer.

Throughout this deeply personal testimony, Pastor Budd shares remarkable accounts of healing she's witnessed firsthand. From physical ailments to debilitating addictions, her ministry addresses the full spectrum of human suffering through faith-based intervention. Particularly compelling is her approach to breaking "mouth-based" addictions – smoking, vaping, overeating, and substance use – through targeted prayer that addresses both the physical dependency and spiritual dimensions of addiction.

What distinguishes Pastor Budd's approach is her unwavering confidence in divine healing coupled with compassionate delivery. She doesn't merely discuss healing theoretically but actively extends prayers for listeners, creating an interactive experience even through recorded media. Whether you're grappling with chronic illness, battling addiction, or simply curious about faith healing, this testimony offers both practical insights and spiritual encouragement.
