Laying Hands on the Sick Is Transforming Lives at Rivergate Church

What happens when someone takes biblical healing promises completely literally? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa has spent years pursuing what she calls a "healing anointing," praying for the sick and witnessing remarkable recoveries that defy conventional explanation.

Linda shares how her journey began with a simple but profound decision to believe scripture at face value - particularly the passages about laying hands on the sick. The results have been nothing short of transformative, with healings occurring across "all manner of sickness and disease." Her passion is palpable as she recounts specific testimonies, including a powerful story about a teenage girl suffering from severe kidney infection.

The testimony reveals more than just physical healing; it highlights the broader impact of Linda's ministry. The teenage girl's mother, single-handedly raising five adopted children with various challenges, found not just medical relief but a renewed sense of hope and support through this experience. Linda extends this same healing declaration to listeners facing similar health challenges, demonstrating her unwavering faith in divine intervention regardless of circumstance.

For those intrigued by Linda's approach to healing ministry, she welcomes opportunities to share her experiences and insights at churches, conferences, and motivational events.

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. My husband had a word of knowledge concerning infection in the kidney area. Well, no one in the room had that problem, except a mother who has adopted five children of all ages spoke up and said my teenage daughter is here, but she has very bad infection in the kidneys. She's in the youth room with the youth and so we said this is for her and in the name of Jesus. She is getting new kidneys now. This infection is leaving her body and she's going to be well. Well, this mother was so grateful because she is parenting these children by herself. They are all troubled kids and she needs all the help she can get.

Speaker 1: 1:32

If you have any type of kidney infection or if you are susceptible to that, I declare and decree to you right now that that is changing for you as well, in Jesus' name. But that is changing for you as well, in Jesus' name. 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. 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.
