¶ Linda's Healing Ministry Introduction
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 . Listen to
¶ Bill's Back Pain Healing Story
this testimony . I sell stuff on Marketplace on Facebook and meet people at a Walgreens near my house . I'm always on the lookout for who I can heal . Well , I had an appointment scheduled with a man named Bill , and Bill Facebooked me when it was time to meet and said that he could not meet because he had hurt his back real bad and that he couldn't move .
And so I asked him to come anyway and I said I will pray for you if you will come . And here was his response he told me he had tried everything else . So he said I guess it wouldn't hurt . He said I'm desperate , I'll try anything . So he came to Walgreens just so I would pray for him .
He wouldn't get out of his truck , and so I walked up to his new truck , to the driver's side where he was driving , and I asked the Lord to give me a new back for Bill . And then I asked him how it was and he said well , I won't know unless I get out of the truck and I move . And he didn't appear to be willing to do so .
So after he got home , he Facebooked me and he told me it was better , but that it was not completely gone , and so I kept leading him through healing by talking with him on Facebook Isn't that great ? Well , today he still has a level five pain and he refuses to forgive himself for anything he
¶ Forgiveness: Key to Complete Healing
has done in the past . And I've told him that unless he does , he will keep his pain , and I get the feeling that he must have done some really bad things in his past , because there was nothing that I could do to convince him that he needed to forgive himself . So I just want to say to all of you that forgiveness is so huge .
The Lord died for our forgiveness . He died for the forgiveness of our sins and our sicknesses and he does not want us to keep unforgiveness of any kind . And so I asked this man on Facebook if he's asked Jesus into his life and he states that he has .
I just get the feeling that he's really not living for the Lord and that he has a lot of guilt and shame . And so if you have guilt and shame and unforgiveness today , I just want to encourage you right now , in the name of Jesus , to let it go . Give it to the Lord and no longer hold yourself up bigger than Jesus , because that's what we're doing .
When we say I refuse to forgive , I can't forgive myself . I've been so awful . You're making yourself bigger than God when you do that because he died for your forgiveness . Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of
