What happens when someone takes the biblical command to "lay hands on the sick" completely literally? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa shares extraordinary testimonies from her healing ministry that challenge conventional understanding of faith, prayer, and physical healing.

At the heart of this episode is a remarkable account of divine intervention. Pastor Budd describes encountering a man in his thirties, severely hunched over from heart problems so dire he had "died seven times" previously. With unwavering confidence, she approached him saying, "Take my hand when you begin to walk with me. You're going to get healed." What unfolds next is nothing short of astonishing—after just two steps together, the man feels something physically happening within his heart. The testimony culminates with medical confirmation of his heart being "40% healed."

The episode introduces fascinating spiritual concepts like "portals"—described as openings or gateways where heaven's presence becomes tangibly accessible. Pastor Budd shares how she guided the man into such a spiritual gateway within their sanctuary, resulting in his overwhelmed reaction: "Oh my God." The visceral nature of this experience offers a glimpse into a dimension of faith that transcends intellectual understanding.

For those intrigued by the intersection of faith and healing, Pastor Budd's straightforward approach provides much to contemplate. She speaks with both compassion and authority, extending healing declarations to listeners suffering from various conditions. Her ministry exemplifies what can happen when biblical principles are applied with unwavering conviction. If you've ever wondered about the power of prayer for physical healing or have experienced inexplicable healing yourself, this testimony will resonate deeply.
