Femurs & Faith: A Pastor's Unlikely Vision

What happens when scripture is taken literally? Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma demonstrates the power of unwavering faith through her healing ministry. Believing firmly in the biblical instruction to "lay hands on the sick and see them recover," Linda has dedicated years to developing a healing anointing that has transformed countless lives.

The centerpiece of this episode features a remarkable testimony that begins with an ordinary Sunday afternoon nap. As Pastor Linda drifted between sleep and wakefulness, she experienced a vivid vision of disjointed bones—a divine preview of what would unfold at her healing service later that day. Despite several false starts with people suffering from neck issues, the true recipient of this prophetic insight eventually stepped forward: a woman suffering from complications following femur surgery, where the bone had failed to properly connect to her ankle.

The moment of recognition was electric. Acting on faith, Pastor Linda declared healing over the woman's leg, proclaiming that God was creating a new bone connection that would eliminate her pain. The result? Immediate relief and restoration. This powerful demonstration of faith-based healing extends beyond a single incident, as Pastor Linda regularly witnesses healing across a spectrum of conditions—from chronic pain to disease.

Whether you're struggling with your own physical ailment or simply curious about the intersection of faith and healing, this testimony offers a window into possibilities that transcend conventional understanding. Could the healing you've been searching for be just a prayer away? Listen and decide for yourself. For those interested in bringing Pastor Linda's ministry to their church or conference, contact information is provided at the conclusion of this powerful episode.

Hi, I'm Linda Budd. I'm a pastor at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, oklahoma, and I take the scriptures literally. That says that we are to lay hands on the sick and see them recover. And so for several years I've gone after a healing anointing. I've prayed for people dozens of times over the years and I see so many get healed. I've seen all manner of sickness and disease healed. If you have any pain in your body, if you're infirmed, if you have any disease, if you have any sickness at all, I just reach my hand up to heaven right now in the name of Jesus, and I call forth the new body part that you need. Listen to this testimony.

I was attempting to take a nap on a Sunday afternoon because I had preached in the morning and I had a healing service to get ready to go to, and so I did take a nap and I fell asleep. But I woke up and when I woke up I saw a vision of a large bone that was to be connected to another bone, but that there was something wrong there, and then I fell back to sleep again. When I went to the healing service, I gave that word of knowledge. Well, several people responded, but it was like with neck issues, and I knew that wasn't the problem. You want to get people healed with neck issues. But then, finally, when the service was about three quarters of the way over, a lady says I'm the one with the bone, and what she said was that she had had surgery on her on her femur bone in her leg, and that it had not healed properly and was in a lot of pain where the bone connects to the ankle. Well, I immediately knew that was the one, so I told her to walk up that God was giving her a new bone and that there would no longer be any pain, that there would be a good connection there now. And that is exactly what happened, and she said that the pain was gone.

I want to tell you, if you've had any kind of a leg surgery where bones have to be connected to each other, I want to tell you, in the name of Jesus, that all the pain is leaving you now. Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus Christ? If you are interested in having me come and speak at a motivational event, your church or a conference of some sort, I am more than happy to consider that invitation.
