A Young Couple Finds Healing, Freedom, And A Future Family Through Prayer

A single sentence from sixth grade can echo for decades. We share the story of a young couple who walked into a miracle service and walked out lighter, freer, and hopeful about starting a family. What changed? A prophetic word about infertility sparked a journey back to the root of addiction, where shame had attached itself to an old wound. Together we trace how trauma births patterns, how lies lock them in place, and how targeted prayer and deliverance break the cycle.

You’ll hear a clear, compassionate framework for inner healing: identify the origin, repent from agreeing with the lie, command every spirit tied to that trauma to leave in the name of Jesus, and replace it with truth that restores identity. We also speak to the spouse’s heart—how hidden blame and quiet grief can lift when dignity is affirmed and innocence is named. The result wasn’t just emotional relief; it was a tangible shift for a marriage and a fresh confidence about their future family.

If you’ve wrestled with addiction, intrusive habits, or labels that never felt like you, this conversation offers practical steps and pastoral wisdom. We talk about faith for physical healing, the courage to confront shame, and the power of testimony to raise hope for others. Listen, take the steps, and share this with someone who needs a path to freedom.

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. Well, I was doing a powerful miracle healing service, and uh a couple came in that I really had not seen very often before, a young couple, and and I know they don't come to my church, they go somewhere else. Uh but when I saw them walk in, I heard the Lord say, tell them that infertility will not be a problem. And so uh as we were progressing, I did that. I said, I said, I don't know if you have children or not, I don't know if you're trying to have children, but infertility will not be a problem, and they received it very well. And so we just kept on going in the service, and people were getting healed, and it was getting to be about 10 minutes before the service was to end. And I said, Is there anyone else that needs a healing? Well, this same man lifted his hand and he said, I do. And I said, Well, what do you need to be healed of? And right at that minute, he just bent forward in his chair and began to sob and sob and sob, and he couldn't talk. He was crying so hard, and so I just kept on praising the Lord, praising the Lord. And finally, he was able to tell us that uh when he was in the sixth grade, his friends had girlfriends and he did not have a girlfriend. And so one of them said to him, Well, then you must just be a homosexual. And it so wounded him and so hurt him that from that time on he began looking at stuff that he should not be looking at, and he got caught up in that all the way from sixth grade now to adult manhood, being a married man, and he wanted to be free of it, and so we took him all the way back to the trauma point and said, uh, let's let the Lord heal you right at the trauma point of where this was said to you in the sixth grade, and we did some deliverance there, and we cast out the spirit that came and attached itself to him in that trauma, and we said that you're set free from this, and we did a lot of praying there and just uh kept flowing with the Holy Ghost, and to the point where probably after 10 minutes of ministry to this young man, married man, he felt a total relief. And his wife was standing and watching, and I looked at her and she looked very stoic, and I put my arms around her and I said, There is no way in the world that this has been your fault. This has nothing to do with you, this has nothing to do with you being desirable or not. I said, You are a great wife, and she just busted out crying, and she got totally set free, and uh this young couple walked out just so, so happy, and now I knew why the Lord said fertility will not be a problem for you. And they were just ecstatic, just so very happy and and so forth. And I heard even today, which has been about two weeks later, that he is free from this. If you are suffering from being caught up in an addiction, please look at your life and see where when that entered you, what happened to cause that addiction to enter your life, what trauma took place, what kind of thing was said to you, what kind of thing was done to you, and then rise up in the name of Jesus and repent for allowing that trauma to hit you, and then command every spirit that is associated with that trauma to come off of you in the name of Jesus. And I too believe that you will be set free. Glory to God for healing the way that Jesus heals, glory to God for this young couple being set free, glory to the name of Jesus. 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 the motivational event, your church, or a conference of some sort, I am more than happy to consider that invitation. Please contact my church's office, Rivergate Church Tulsa, 918-492-5511, and we'll see if we can set something up. God bless you.
