Minute to Heal It Podcast

Can Faith Overcome Doubt? A Pastor's Healing Mission

Linda Budd Episode 1233

Divine healing remains one of the most fascinating and controversial aspects of faith. Pastor Linda Budd takes us deep into her experiences as a spiritual healer who embraces the biblical mandate to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover." With years dedicated to pursuing what she calls a "healing anointing," Linda shares compelling testimonies that illuminate the connection between faith, doubt, and physical restoration.

The heart of Linda's message involves a powerful encounter with a woman who arrived at a healing service with a cane and a heart full of doubt. "She announced to everyone that she would not be healed because she's too overweight," Linda recalls, describing the spiritual battle that unfolded during their interaction. This revealing testimony serves as the centerpiece for Linda's core belief: "If you want God to heal you, you have to come into agreement with God." Through this and other experiences, she demonstrates how negative expectations might potentially block divine intervention.

Pastor Linda's approach to healing ministry emphasizes active partnership with divine principles. She encourages those seeking healing to engage with scripture, verbally affirm their belief, and position themselves in alignment with God's promises. Whether you're curious about faith healing, seeking spiritual guidance for physical challenges, or interested in testimonies of divine intervention, this episode offers thought-provoking insights from a pastor who has dedicated her life to seeing the miraculous unfold.

Speaker 1:

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.

Speaker 1:

There was a lady sitting in the crowd. She was holding a cane and it was at the healing service and I said ma'am. I said what is your name and what do you need to be healed of? And she said well, I just have a real hard time walking. And I said well, walk up to here to me.

Speaker 1:

As she was walking the aisle, she announced to everyone that she would not be healed because she's too overweight and there was just this spirit on her that wanted to fight. Well, I was kind to her and I prayed for her. Anyway, the whole time I prayed for her. She tried to fight me with words that she was speaking to me of doubt and unbelief. Other people could not hear it and I knew this woman is just totally caught up demonically with a spirit of fear and and doubt and there's just total unbelief and it was just a challenging thing.

Speaker 1:

I knew I couldn't do anything for her and I said is Jesus touching you? Know your hands touching me? That's all that's touching me and there just wasn't anything we could do for. And I just got to tell you that if you want God to heal you, you have to come into agreement with God, you have to be in agreement with his word. You have to read what his word says about healing and read healing scriptures and say, yes, I believe, yes, I come into agreement with that in the name of Jesus. Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus Christ? If you are interested in having me come and speak at a motivational event, your church or a conference of some sort, I am more than happy to consider that invitation. To consider that invitation, please contact my church's office, rivergate Church, tulsa, 918-492-5511, and we'll see if we can set something up. God bless you.
