What if you stopped calling your pain “yours” and started telling it to leave? Pastor Linda Budd opens up about a life spent praying for the sick, the plain reading of Scripture that fuels her boldness, and the simple steps anyone can take to speak healing with authority. From Rivergate Church in Tulsa, she shares how repeated, faithful prayer has led to story after story of change—less pain, restored function, and renewed hope.

We walk through a vivid testimony of a woman with TB in her blood and the prayer that confronted it directly. Linda explains why language matters—why ownership words can lock sickness to identity—and how to flip that script with clear, faith-filled commands in Jesus’ name. You’ll hear how she prays for “new body parts” as a way of asking for full restoration, not just relief, and why gratitude and praise anchor the process as people test their bodies and track results.

If you’re longing for a practical, no-drama guide to healing prayer, this conversation lays out the essentials: align your words with God’s promises, speak to the problem with authority, and stay persistent. Along the way, we talk about building a culture of testimony, inviting community support, and creating spaces where people feel safe to believe again.
