Holy Hands: The Unexpected Comeback Stories at Rivergate Church

The miraculous power of faith healing takes center stage as Pastor Linda Budd shares her extraordinary ministry journey at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking scripture at its word—specifically the mandate to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover"—Pastor Linda has devoted years to pursuing a healing anointing that has resulted in countless testimonies of divine intervention.

What happens when ancient healing practices meet modern-day faith? Pastor Linda answers this question through powerful stories of physical restoration she's witnessed firsthand. From declaring new body parts into existence to seeing immediate relief from chronic conditions, her ministry challenges conventional understanding of healing while offering hope to those suffering from seemingly incurable ailments.

The episode features a particularly moving testimony of a woman who had endured excruciating pain from three bulging discs following a devastating fall in 2016. After years of unsuccessful treatments, she attended a Sunday evening miracle service at Rivergate. The moment she stepped into the church aisle—responding to Pastor Linda's word of knowledge about spinal pain—something remarkable happened. Overcome by divine presence and despite her mobility challenges, she approached the front where she experienced complete healing. "I've had such severe pain I could hardly stand it," she testified through tears, "and it's gone."

Beyond individual healings, Pastor Linda reveals how prophetic words about former church members returning are now manifesting weekly after years of anticipation. This convergence of prophecy and healing creates a powerful testimony to the enduring nature of faith-based ministry. Whether you're battling health challenges, curious about spiritual gifts, or simply open to extraordinary possibilities, these testimonies offer a glimpse into a world where prayer affects physical reality. Contact Rivergate Church if you'd like Pastor Linda to share these experiences at your event or congregation.

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 this testimony. Our church has had so many prophetic words that people from the past are coming back. I don't know why that's important to the Lord, but he just keeps saying it to us over and over again through different prophetic people for years and years, and we've never seen it happen until this last year and now, every week and every service, there are people from the past. This last year and now, every week and every service there are people from the past. Sometimes they come for one service and sometimes they appear to stay. Well, one such lady turned up this Sunday morning and she let us know that she was back for good.

Speaker 1: 1:16

She came back for the Sunday evening miracle and healing service and I had a word of knowledge about a pain in the spine and she said that it was her. And she said that she had a terrible, terrible fall in 2016 and she got severely injured. And from that time until now that she has had so much pain she can hardly take it. I said well, if you walk up the aisle here, god's gonna give you a new spine. The minute she stepped out of her seat and hit the aisle, she became so overcome with the Lord. She had a very difficult time walking, but she walked on up to me and, sure enough, god gave her a brand new spine. All the pain left her. She started crying. She was holding her head in her hands. She was sobbing. She said I've had such severe pain I could hardly stand it and it's gone. And it was just absolutely amazing. She said I had three bulging discs. I've done all I've known to do and the pain wouldn't leave. And she said it's gone.

Speaker 1: 2:18

If you've had a fall from an injury, I declare to you, in the name of Jesus, that you are being healed right now. Just get up and walk. You're being healed now in the name of Jesus. Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus Christ?
