Minute to Heal It Podcast

One Test Leads To Another As Faith Sparks Healing Across A Room

Linda Budd Episode 1327

A strange bubbling in one man’s ear became the start of a chain reaction—first relief, then laughter, then a deeper story that reached all the way back to a painful connection with the name Robert. We walk through the moment-by-moment choices that Pastor Linda Budd makes when a room shifts: pause, ask the right question, listen for the detail, and pray with clarity. That simple sequence turns a symptom into a breakthrough, and a testimony into an invitation for anyone who needs hope.

Across this short but powerful share, we unpack what it looks like to take the command to lay hands on the sick seriously, even when the first try doesn’t change anything. You’ll hear why two people saw no immediate result while a third experienced the exact sign described, and how staying with the thread led to complete quiet in the ear. From there, the conversation widens into inner healing as a buried memory surfaces—showing how physical pain often carries echoes of old wounds. The story continues with more healings, including ankle pain and a word of knowledge for sciatica that extends care to a family member at home.

If you’ve ever wondered how faith, discernment, and practical courage meet in a live setting, this is a front-row seat. We keep the tone grounded and specific, avoiding hype while leaning into the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus. Whether you’re curious about prayer for the sick, leading a community, or carrying a private ache you’ve learned to ignore, these testimonies model a way forward: be specific, be patient, and be open to unexpected connections that lead to real change.

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. And suddenly, while I was preaching, I felt something very strange in my ear. So I stopped and I said, Who has an ear problem? Well, three people raised their hand. And so I prayed for two of them, and nothing changed for them. But then the third guy, he said, It's like there's bubbling in my ear. And I said, That's it. That's exactly what I felt. And so I declared and I decreed that a new ear was coming out of heaven for him and that this bubbling would stop. And I have to tell you, it took a few minutes, but the bubbling stopped. And he was just so happy, he started laughing. He said that sometimes it would be so bad he couldn't even sleep at night. Well, from what I felt, I uh could understand that it was just very strange. And then he said, You called out the name Robert, which I had done. And I had asked another guy who was visiting, is your name Robert? And he said, No, that's not my name. And he told me his name. And I said, Well, does Robert mean anything to you? And he said, No. Um, so I let it go. Well, this guy then that's getting his ears healed of the bubbling says, by the way, my father's name is Robert. And he he was very abusive to me. And um, I have some issues there. And I said, Well, let's just get all that pain off of you. And so we did, and we were able to pray some really nice prayers over him that the father would heal his heart and so forth. And then some more stuff began to get healed in this man's body, his ankles got healed, and then I called out a word of knowledge for a sciatica, and he raised his hand and he said, Well, my wife's not here, but she has this problem. And so I said, Well, when you go home, you're going to discover that her sciatica was healed. Well, he was just so excited, and so I just want to tell you all to just go with the flow with God, go deep in God, let him just touch you and fill you to overflowing today. And in the name of Jesus, if you have any kind of bubbling in the ears, it stops now in Jesus' name. Aren't these just great testimonies of the goodness of God and the healing power of Jesus Christ?
