What happens when ancient scripture meets modern pain? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa doesn't just read about healing—she lives it. Taking the Bible's instruction to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover" as a literal command, Linda has pursued a healing anointing for years with remarkable results.
The episode centers around a powerful testimony where three people with identical symptoms—pain extending from the right side of the neck down into the shoulder—responded to Linda's call during a service. Among them was a first-time visitor, a tall businessman, who experienced something extraordinary. "I knew, like I knew my name, that he was going to get healed," Linda recounts. Before she could even touch him, he was overcome by divine power so strongly that ushers had to catch him as he fell. When he stood up? Complete healing. Simultaneously, Linda's daughter, who experiences similar pain from her work as a hairstylist, found her discomfort vanished as well.
This isn't just a story about neck pain—it's about what happens when faith intersects physical reality. Linda extends this healing connection directly to listeners, praying with conviction for those experiencing similar conditions. "Your neck is restored, those muscles are restored and everything about you is restored," she declares, bridging the gap between testimony and immediate application. Whether you're a believer or skeptic, these accounts of immediate physical transformation raise compelling questions about healing possibilities beyond conventional medicine.
