Stop Waiting, Receive Healing Now

What if the relief you’ve been waiting for is one honest prayer away? We tell the story of a faithful church member who served for years while living with relentless hip and sciatica pain—until a single moment of clarity and a bold declaration changed everything. No theatrics, no complicated formulas, just a specific word of knowledge, a straightforward command for healing, and the shock of feeling years of pain lift in minutes.

We open up the tension many believers carry: showing up for everyone else while quietly adapting to chronic pain. You’ll hear how naming the exact issue—hip pain, sciatica, trouble sitting—made space for targeted, faith-filled prayer and a measurable before-and-after. This isn’t a guilt trip for seeking medical care; it’s a reminder that spiritual healing and wise treatment aren’t rivals. We talk about the power of asking, the role of community, and why postponing hope becomes its own habit. The moment joy broke across his face says more than any sermon: suffering is not your assignment, and resignation is not a virtue.

Along the way, we share practical guidance for those ready to seek breakthrough: how to ask for prayer, why specificity increases clarity and faith, and what it looks like to receive without striving. If you’ve been serving while suffering, this conversation offers permission to step forward and be ministered to. You are not an exception to grace, and your story does not have to end in endurance alone.

Final Declarations Of Healing

Linda Budd 0:44

Some people just put up with stuff for so long. And that was the instance with one of my friends who is a longtime member of the church and is always there and always serving. But he finally came to an encounters healing service, and I didn't know that he had this problem. But I called out a word of knowledge for a hip. And he said, Yeah, it's mine. And I said, Well, brand new hip in the name of Jesus. How long have you had this? Oh, forever and ever. That's ridiculous. Get healed of it. And so I said, Well, you're getting a brand new hip right now. The pain is leaving your hip. It's leaving all the way down the sciatica. In fact, you have a hard time sitting and you squirm around in your care, and all of that is leaving right now. And I just saw him get so delighted and so happy. And I thought to myself, why did you wait so long to come and be healed? Since you're always in the church serving. And so I just want to remind you folks get prayed for, have someone with a gift of healing or a gift of faith pray for you, lay hands on you, and receive your healing and be healed in the name of Jesus. But for right now, that hip pain is leaving you, and that sciatica pain is going now in the name of Jesus.
