From Waiting Room To Worship: Breathing Better Already

Breath can be a miracle when fear has tightened your chest. We open with Pastor Linda Budd sharing why she takes Jesus’ command to heal the sick as an active assignment, not a metaphor. Years of steady prayer shape her posture: ask boldly, act simply, and expect God to move. That conviction comes alive in a vivid testimony of a woman battling a serious lung issue who returns to church, takes a few deliberate breaths, and finds sudden relief. No hype, no theatrics—just a quiet moment where faith and obedience meet.

From there, we talk about why community matters for sustaining breakthrough. Healing is not only a moment but a setting, and the local church provides the environment where prayer, worship, and testimony reinforce each other. If you’ve slipped out of the habit of gathering, consider this a gentle nudge home. Find a congregation that honors Jesus and preaches the full gospel, because faith grows best in a room where hope is spoken and needs are named. Pastor Linda also offers a direct declaration for listeners facing pain, disease, or respiratory issues—an invitation to receive and to test what God may be doing in your body right now.

We also get practical about ministry and momentum. Expectancy is not desperation; it’s alignment with God’s promises. Linda describes the simple pattern that guides her: pray with authority, test results in real time, and share the story so others can believe again. If you’re a leader hungry to reignite faith in your community—or someone longing for a second chance at hope—you’ll find both encouragement and a next step.

Linda Budd: 0:00

Hi, I'm Linda Budd. I'm a pastor at Rivate 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. A lady that hadn't been in the church for a very, very long time. She stopped coming, came and got healed of a lot of different things. And now she was back, and I asked her what she needed. And she had a great problem in her lung that the doctors were looking into and she was concerned about. And I said, just start breathing in and out. And as she did, it just like it all cleared up. If you have lung issues, I declare in the name of Jesus that the Lord is restoring your lungs. And if you're not in church, it's time to get back in church. It's time to get back into the house of God. It's time to worship the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have a church that you can access that serves the Lord Jesus Christ, please get to it. If it's preaching the full gospel, glory to God. 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 the 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.
