A New Wrist After 30 Years Is Still Possible

A single testimony can reset your expectations, especially when the timeline makes no sense. I’m Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I’m sharing a healing moment that still stops me: a man with a wrist injury and a failed surgery from 30 years ago comes to an Encounters Healing Service, and everything changes in minutes.

I talk about why I take scripture literally when it says to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, and why I’ve spent years pursuing a healing anointing through prayer and obedience. You’ll hear how a word of knowledge about “wrists” kept pressing on me until I finally asked a visitor the simple question, “Do you have a wrist problem?” What follows is a clear, step-by-step picture of healing prayer: inviting him forward, sensing the presence of God, laying hands on him, and then watching him test his wrist and move it in ways he said he could not do before.

Beyond the miracle, we sit with the takeaway that matters for everyday life: don’t give up if you’ve been asking God for healing for years. Chronic pain, long-term illness, and deep discouragement can wear you down, but I’ve seen God come suddenly, even after decades. I also pray directly for anyone listening who has wrist pain or limitation, asking Jesus Christ to heal and restore.

Linda's Healing Ministry Introduction

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. Last night at the Encounters Healing Service, there was a man visiting that I had never met before, and he was a real nice man. And I was standing sort of in front of him, and I kept getting a word of knowledge for wrists, for a wrist problem. So finally I gave in to it and I asked him, I said, Do you have a wrist problem? And he responded that he did, that he had hurt his hand really bad and broken it up, and that he had surgery and that the surgery did not work. And I said, Walk up here. I felt so much of the presence of God. It was just amazing. I said, Walk on up here, and as you do, Jesus is bringing down a brand new wrist from heaven. And I touched him and I laid hands upon him and I said, You have now received a new wrist. He reached out his hand and he began moving his wrist and he was stunned. He began moving it and he said, I could not move it like this in the past. All I could ever do was move it this far. And uh he began moving it all over. And I said, How long ago did you have this surgery? He said, 30 years. I was amazed by that. 30 years of not being able to move his hand, it was basically stuck, and now he was moving the wrist and the hand all over. And there's just so many lessons in that. If you have had sickness or disease or infirmity or pain of any kind, and you've asked God to heal you for years upon years of it, do not give up because our God will suddenly come to you. And if you have a wrist problem, I am telling you right now in the name of Jesus, you are receiving a new wrist and you are being healed. Amen. 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.
