Episode description

The supernatural healing power of faith takes center stage as Pastor Linda Budd shares her remarkable ministry experiences. With unwavering conviction, this Tulsa-based pastor approaches scripture literally, particularly the biblical mandate to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover." Her years of dedicated pursuit of the healing anointing have yielded what she describes as countless miracles across a spectrum of medical conditions.

Pastor Linda recounts a particularly moving testimony about a woman who journeyed 40 minutes specifically to attend a miracle healing service. "Anytime you go on a pilgrimage to seek the Lord, he will be found of you," Pastor Linda observes, setting the stage for what happened next. The woman arrived seeking relief from bilateral hip pain, but received more than she bargained for. After Pastor Linda's straightforward declaration of healing, the woman tested her hips and discovered her pain had completely vanished. Remarkably, the same woman also received healing for a stomach ulcer she hadn't initially mentioned, through what Pastor Linda describes as a "word of knowledge."

Throughout this powerful episode, we witness Pastor Linda's extraordinary confidence in divine healing as she extends these same miracles to listeners, declaring freedom from hip pain and ulcers for anyone tuned in. Her matter-of-fact approach to supernatural intervention challenges conventional thinking about health and healing, inviting listeners to consider the possibilities of faith-based recovery. Have you experienced or witnessed healing that defied medical explanation? We'd love to hear your story in the comments, and don't forget to share this episode with someone who might need encouragement in their health journey today.

need . Listen to this testimony . There was a woman who had driven about 40 minutes to come and be a part of the miracle healing service . I knew God would heal her , because anytime you go on a pilgrimage to seek the Lord , he will be found of you .
