What Happens When Angels Touch Your Cheek?

Faith comes alive through extraordinary testimonies of divine healing in this powerful account from Pastor Linda Budd of Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taking Scripture at its word, Pastor Linda has devoted years to pursuing a healing anointing, seeing countless people healed through the simple act of laying on hands and declaring new body parts for those suffering.

The centerpiece of this episode is an astonishing testimony from Coffeyville, Kansas, where the supernatural broke into the natural in remarkable ways. When a man requested prayer for multiple health issues including hip problems, sciatica, prostate concerns, and heart issues, something extraordinary unfolded. Not only did these conditions respond to prayer, but unexpectedly, his hands—which weren't even mentioned in prayer—were completely restored. His fingers, stuck together for years following an injury, suddenly separated, allowing him to make a fist for the first time in years.

What makes these accounts particularly compelling is how the healing extended beyond individuals to the entire congregation. Pastor Linda describes the moment she declared the church a "diabetes-free zone" and how all forty attendees ultimately reported healing by the service's end. She shares her personal confirmation of divine presence—the sensation of an angel touching her cheek—signaling moments when extraordinary healing is about to manifest. Whether you're skeptical or a firm believer, these testimonies invite us to consider the possibility that faith still works miracles today. Ready to experience something beyond the ordinary?

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 in Coffeyville, kansas, and a lady had just gotten her hip and her sciatica healed and a man had been sitting in the front row and he was really excited about all the healings that were taking place. And so he stood up and he said would you give me heal? The four things? And so I went, one at a time, to get new body parts for all the problems he had. The first was a hip problem. So we got him a new hip in Jesus name, then the sciatica nerve in the leg, and then he declared that he was just so hot and I told him and everyone when you're praying for healing and you get high, it's a sign to keep praying because God's healing you. Well, we then got him a new prostate, and not only for him, but all the men in the room. I had faith for that, since God was touching this man so strongly and the glory was present. I then began to declare that this church was a diabetes-free zone. Numbers were going to come into proper alignment. I instructed them not to get off of insulin but to consult with your doctor, but I said there would be a noticeable change. Everyone was getting a new pancreas. This man had also told me he was having heart issues, so I began to get him a new heart in the name of Jesus, and I told him he was getting new ventricles and the veins were no longer blocked and that he would begin to feel very good. Well, people all over the congregation were receiving this for themselves as well, as I released it on all, and they were really excited when I said it, because it was like they knew that he had this problem. They knew that he had this problem.

Speaker 1: 2:27

When the service ended, there had been so many healings in the glory that I asked everyone just to come forward and come to the front and we would give God all the glory and put our hands in the air and just praise him for all that he'd done. Well, this man. He began to show me and all in the congregation that he could open and close his hands and make two fists. He had not been able to do that for years. Then he showed us that his two middle fingers were no longer stuck together. He showed me a scar in his hand where he had taken a cut from the fall and from that time on his fingers were stuck and he couldn't make a fist in either hand. Now the fingers came apart and a bump that had been on his hand was gone and he could make a fist. And everyone was so excited because they knew this man and they knew it to be so.

Speaker 1: 3:14

And this is what happens in the glory. I didn't pray for this man's hands and I didn't know about any of these hand issues. So when I walked into that church, the angel of the Lord touched my cheek on the left side and I know that when that happens, that the glory is manifest. And when that happens, I know I don't have to do a whole lot of anything other than direct people to receive, but that God's going to heal them in a major way, and that is what our Lord did, glory to God.

Speaker 1: 3:45

About halfway through that service, I had asked people how many are healed, and about 12 people had already raised their hands, and at the close, they all raised their hands that they were healed. And so there were approximately around 40 people and they all stated that they were healed. And when I questioned a second time, they still said yes, we're all healed. And so that's when I quit, and that's when I called everybody up to just praise God and to go home. Well, when I did that, then even more people started getting different things happening, and so it was just really amazing, glory to God. Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus Christ?
