From Parkinson's to Praise: A Pastor's Journey of Faith Healing

Witness the extraordinary power of faith healing through the ministry of Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture at its word—specifically the command to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover"—Linda has dedicated years to pursuing what she calls a "healing anointing," with remarkable results.

Pastor Linda doesn't just talk about healing—she shares compelling testimonies from her ministry. The centerpiece of this episode features her encounter with a man diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in Coffeyville, Kansas. During a service where "the glory of the Lord was really moving," she approached his condition as a spiritual battle rather than merely a physical ailment. In a bold demonstration of faith, she took away his cane and threw it down, after which he began to walk normally. This powerful testimony illustrates her belief that divine healing remains available to believers today.

What makes Linda's approach distinctive is her understanding of illness as sometimes stemming from "spirits of infirmity" that require spiritual deliverance. Her ministry combines scriptural teaching with direct prayer intervention, creating space for what she describes as God's healing power to manifest. Through this episode, listeners struggling with health challenges may find both hope and practical faith perspectives that complement traditional medical approaches. Whether you're battling chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about faith healing, this testimony-rich episode offers a window into the lived experience of believers who take Scripture's healing promises literally.
