The extraordinary power of faith healing stands at the center of Pastor Linda Budd's ministry at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture's healing promises literally, Pastor Linda has spent years cultivating what she calls a "healing anointing" that has manifested in countless testimonies of physical transformation and recovery.
Pastor Linda shares a remarkable account of a 26-year-old woman ravaged by cancer who arrived at a church service called "Encounters." Ghostly pale and confined to a wheelchair, this young woman was guided to what Pastor Linda describes as an "open portal to heaven"—a specific location within their sanctuary where the divine presence is particularly tangible and where numerous healings have previously occurred.
What happened next defies conventional explanation. Within minutes of being positioned in this spiritual hotspot, the young woman began experiencing intense heat throughout her body. Those present witnessed color returning to her previously pallid face as she remained in this "portal" for 45 minutes while the congregation prayed fervently. Drawing on the promise of Galatians 3:13 that "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law," Pastor Linda and her congregation declared healing over the cancer-stricken body, commanding rebellious cells to depart. Though the final outcome remains undisclosed, the immediate visible improvements offered a powerful testimony to the potential of faith-based healing.
For those battling serious illness, especially cancer, Pastor Linda's message resonates with fierce hope: "Don't you ever give up. Come to Jesus and let him touch you with his power." Her testimony challenges the boundaries between physical and spiritual healing, suggesting that sometimes the most profound medical transformations begin with faith. Have you witnessed the healing power of prayer in your own life or the lives of those around you? Pastor Linda invites you to explore this dimension of faith as she continues to minister healing to those in need.
