Pain-Free After Four And A Half Years

A pastor sits on the front row carrying four and a half years of severe pain after a botched cancer surgery and he does not even stand up at first. Then we ask one simple question: what do you need? What happens next is the kind of moment people argue about until they hear the details, the follow-up, and the ordinary proof that shows up in real life.

Linda Budd tells the story of a healing service where results are already breaking out, then she turns toward the pastor and speaks a direct prayer for pain relief in the name of Jesus. The immediate change is not a flashy performance. It is numbness where constant pain used to be, and tears from someone who forgot what relief felt like. A few days later we call him back, and the update is honest: the numbness comes and goes, and when it comes the pain leaves. That is where the conversation gets practical, touching on progressive healing, persistence, and the discipline of declaring Scripture when you are still in the middle of the process.

Then the ripple effect widens. The pastor shares that the woman prayed for with stomach pain is his mother, recovering from liver surgery, and her pain has not returned. He also describes his wife, who has asthma, spending the whole day gardening without reaching for her inhaler. If you care about Christian healing testimonies, prayer for chronic pain, and how faith is practiced when outcomes are unfolding over time, this story gives you specific details you can sit with and evaluate.

We were doing a healing service in another church, and healing was really flowing. I mean, seven out of every 10 people that we declared healing for were getting healed. And so I turned to the pastor who was sitting on the front row and I said, What do you need? And he did not stand up at that point, but he said that he had had a botched cancer surgery on the side of his neck, and that he is in severe pain all of the time. And so I had him stand up and I looked at him and I said, That pain is coming off of your face right now in the name of Jesus. And then I asked him how it was, and he said that it was numb. And I said, Is numb good? And he said, Yes. Tears began to flow. He said, I have not been without severe pain for four and a half years, and this feels so good. I called him a few days later and I asked him, so what's going on? He said, Well, the numb comes and goes. And I said, So are you healed? He said, When the numb comes, the pain goes away. But then when the numb leaves, the pain comes back. I said, You're being healed. That is the touch of God upon you. And he does not do things halfway. After all, he cannot raise the dead halfway. So why would he heal halfway? And so I instructed this pastor to continue to declare scriptures over himself. And he knew that he should do that, and he does do that, and said that he would. He then told me that the woman that I prayed for with the pain in the stomach was his mother, and she had had a liver surgery, and it had left her with severe pain. She has not had any pain since I declared her stomach pain-free. He also said that his wife, who had asthma, and I told her she was not gonna have it anymore, that her lungs, that her bronchial, that the sinuses, all of these things were clear now, and there'd be no more problem. He said she went outside and gardened all day, was digging in the dirt, was cutting stuff, removing stuff out in the yard, and she never had to use her inhaler once. I am telling you that Jesus Christ is the God that heals. He is the God that heals and sets free.
