When A Cold Belly Means A Hot Miracle

A lot of people talk about healing in theory. We’re talking about it the way it shows up in real life: bodies hurting, homes with mold, breathing problems that won’t quit, and a desperate hope that God still meets people with power. Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma shares why she takes Scripture literally when it says to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, and what that belief has looked like after years of praying for people.

We walk through a vivid healing testimony from an encounters healing service where a visiting young mother responds to a word about allergy issues. As she carefully describes life in low-income housing and the impact of a moldy environment on her and her little girl, we focus prayer on the throat, chest, and bronchial area. The moment is intense, and the follow-up is even more striking: she returns the next week saying both she and her daughter are no longer dealing with the problems that had been dogging them, describing a strange “cold” sensation in her belly during prayer.

If you’re searching for Christian healing testimony, prayer for allergies, mold-related breathing issues, or what a healing ministry service can actually sound like, you’ll find clarity and courage here. Listen all the way through, share this with someone who needs hope, and if you’ve got your own story or questions about healing prayer, leave a review and tell us: what are you believing to change next?

Pastor's Healing Ministry Introduction

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. Young mother was in the encounters healing service. She was visiting. Of course, I did not really know that she was a young mother until after the service was over. But uh I called out some words about allergy issues. And this woman raised her hand and she said that she and her little girl live in a place, and she was very careful with her words. But I, from what she was saying, you could tell that where she lives was low-income housing and that it was moldy, and that her and her little girl were having just a lot of trouble. And I said, You walk on up here because God is healing you of all of this that I am feeling right now in the throat area, in the chest, and in the bronheels. Well, I touched her in the power of God came upon her. She was so drunk and staggering. And, you know, I didn't know if she got healed. Well, the following Sunday, she came back and she got a hold of my husband, Pastor Joel, and uh she began to explain to him and she said, Please tell Pastor Linda that my little girl and I are so changed and so different. We are no longer having any of those problems. Something really happened to us. Well, I do know that at the service where I prayed for her, she said that her belly got really, really cold. Well, I didn't know what that meant, but God was upon her and he just totally healed her. She says, My whole life has changed. I'm so healed. If you are struggling from any kind of allergy problems, whether it's from mold or anything else, I declare to you in the name of Jesus that you are being healed right now. 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.
