A Pastor Sees A Vision And Two Lives Change

A single sentence can change the room. When Pastor Linda Budd shares how a midday vision of a man slipping on tile led to a packed healing service, we walk through a chain of moments that start small and end in a surge of hope. Alan arrives with a walker and pain that sits heavy on the body and the mind. His first attempt without support is shaky and slow. Then attention shifts to his wife, whose need to be heard floods the aisle—until a clear command slices through the noise: “Jesus Christ heals you.”

What happens next is both startling and deeply human. She screams, spins, and moves in ways she couldn’t moments before, while Linda is thrown backward by what she describes as the palpable presence of God. The fear of the Lord settles in—less terror, more reverent awe—turning the room from tense effort to steady praise. In the wake of that shift, Pastor Linda returns to Alan and asks him to walk. This time he strides the aisle unaided, color back in his face, posture light and confident. It’s the kind of before-and-after that makes you question limits: are we underestimating what faith, authority, and a simple instruction can unlock?

We open up the anatomy of breakthrough—the role of a timely vision, the discipline of cutting through symptom lists, and the courage to test change in real time. Whether you approach healing ministry with bold belief or careful skepticism, the story offers tangible checkpoints: movement measured, pain challenged, and a community witnessing transformation together. Along the way, we talk about why clarity beats complexity, how awe resets the heart, and what it means to keep walking when the cane or walker has defined your days.

Linda Budd: 0:00

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 taking a nap and suddenly woke up with a start because I saw a vision. It wasn't a dream, it was a vision of someone falling on a slippery floor like a tile floor. And it was very vivid and very strong. And I knew that he had been, this person had been badly hurt. So in the Encounters Miracle Healing Service that evening, I announced this, and an elderly elderly gentleman by the name of Alan said it was him, and that he had fallen on tile floor or slippery floor twice. Now he's in great pain and he's walking with a walker. And his wife was with him in the meeting and was just overcome by this announcement. So I got Alan up and walked in the aisle towards me. And when he got to me with his walker, I told him to walk now without the walker. He hesitantly took my hand and did so. Then maybe was a little progress, but not a lot. So I let him walk back to his seat. His wife was waiting for him and she wanted healing. And she would go on and on and would not stop talking so that I could pray for her. And I asked her to stop talking, but she would not. And then she even pulled out a sheet of paper and wanted me to read it to show me all the things that were wrong in her body. Well, that did it for me. And I told her no, and to stop talking because Jesus wanted to heal her. Well, she still wouldn't stop talking. So I yelled at her, Jesus Christ heals you. And suddenly she got hit with so much power from on high. She screamed and she began to fall out. And that was the last that I saw because at the same time that she got hit with the power, so did I. I began running backward. And I knew that I couldn't stop. And I was yelling, somebody help me. Well, I told Judith, I was told that Judith at the time that I was running backward and I was falling out that she was spinning around, jumping and yelling. I'm healed, I'm healed. And she was now doing things that she could not have done previously. I wanted to watch, but I was so overcome with the fear of God. Listen, the force of God threw me backwards at the same time, and I was not afraid, but I was astonished and the fear of the Lord hit me. All I could do was praise him over and over while I was down on the floor facing the ground worshiping. I knew that the Father's love had shown up big time. And after I collected myself, I went back after Ellen. I said, Ellen, get up and walk. And he did. And now he was walking the aisle without any help whatsoever. His entire demeanor changed. He got color in his face. He looked 10 years younger to me. It was absolutely astounding. If you need healing because you have fallen, I declare to you right now, in the name of Jesus, that you are healed. The pain is leaving your body, the problem is going. Start walking without assistance because you're going to be able to do it. And don't go back to that walker or that cane or whatever else. Just get up and walk in 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 a 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.
