Episode description

What happens when a pastor takes biblical healing literally? Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa doesn't just believe in divine healing—she expects it every time she prays. Her conviction that God can instantly create "new body parts" has led to extraordinary moments during her ministry.

The power of these testimonies lies in their simplicity. During a recent service, after witnessing one woman healed of a fractured hip through prayer and deliverance, Pastor Linda spotted two more congregation members with hip problems. With remarkable confidence, she invited them forward, declaring they would receive "new hips" simply by walking the church aisle. According to her account, both experienced complete healing, walking away pain-free after years of suffering.

These stories challenge our conventional understanding of healing, regardless of our belief systems. Pastor Linda's approach combines bold faith with straightforward action—no complex rituals, just expectant prayer followed by immediate testing of the results. Her ministry reflects a perspective where the supernatural isn't extraordinary but simply the natural outworking of biblical promises taken at face value. Whether you're spiritually curious, dealing with physical pain, or simply fascinated by unexplained phenomena, these testimonies offer a glimpse into a world where faith tangibly impacts physical reality. Ready to explore what might happen in your own life? Pastor Linda encourages you to stand up right now as you listen, take a few steps, and see what changes. She's also available to bring her healing ministry to your church or event—reach out to Rivergate Church to learn more.
