When Your Heart Hurts And It Is Not Yours

Something shifts when a healing story leaves the church building and walks straight into a workplace. We tell the true-to-life chain reaction that begins when a young man gets prayer for a hip problem at a Sunday night healing service, then heads back to his restaurant job with a challenge: let your coworkers see the difference, tell them where you went, and bring them with you.

A couple weeks later, he returns with a young woman who looks genuinely scared to be in church. We talk about why welcome matters as much as bold faith, and how a simple hug and a calm voice can open the door for someone who would never volunteer for a prayer line. Then the moment turns intense: a “word of knowledge” lands as real pain near the heart, leading to a careful question and a shocking answer, a diagnosis of autoimmune disease affecting the heart. From there, we share the prayer that follows, including the language of receiving a “new heart from heaven” and what it can feel like when intercession is heavy.

We also address the closing declaration aimed at listeners experiencing autoimmune or heart symptoms after the COVID shot. These are serious health concerns, so we hold space for faith, healing prayer, and responsible medical care without turning the conversation into fear or speculation. If you’re searching for prophetic ministry, Christian healing testimony, word of knowledge, and healing service stories grounded in real people, this one stays focused on what was said, what was felt, and what happened next.

Bringing A Coworker To Church

A Sudden Pain And A Diagnosis

Prayer For Autoimmune And Heart Symptoms

Linda Budd 0:44

A young man had come to the Encounters Healing Service on Sunday night, and I prophesied to him, and I also got him healed of a hip problem. He told me that he worked at a pretty popular restaurant here in the city. And when I prophesied, I told him that other people in the restaurant that he works with are gonna see that his hip is healed, and that he is to tell them what happened, where he went to church, how God met him and so forth, and to bring them as well, and that they would be healed. And so here he came about two weeks later with a young woman. She was very pretty, and I could tell that she was scared to be in church, so I gave her a big hug and told her how welcome she was, and that we were just so happy she was here. And then as the service was closing, they were standing pretty close to me, and I saw him whisper through her, and I knew he wanted to have her come up to me to get healed. I just knew it. Suddenly I got a word of knowledge where my heart and the area around my heart began to hurt so terribly, and so I did not wait for them to approach me, and instead I approached them and I said to her, Honey, I said, What is wrong right here? And she didn't know what to say at first. And I said, Listen, God told me there's something wrong right here. What is it? Because it hurts really, really bad. And she then told me that she has been diagnosed with autoimmune disease and specifically cardiac autoimmune disease. And so I called forth and I said, You are getting a new heart from heaven. It's coming upon you right now in the name of Jesus. And I said, You're not going to have trouble with this any longer. Well, that pain that had touched me was so heavy on me that it took me about five hours to get rid of it. I actually had to sleep it off, and sometimes that happens when I get a really, really strong word of knowledge. But I'm telling you, those of you who took the COVID shot and you now have symptoms from that, and many people are having symptoms of autoimmune and heart disorders. And I just cancel that COVID vaccine on you in the name of Jesus. And I declare that you're getting new autoimmune and that you're getting new hearts in Jesus' name.
