A night of nonstop testimonies suddenly hit a wall: Pastor Linda Budd’s left forearm began to throb so sharply she could barely keep speaking. That pain wasn’t random. It was a word of knowledge that led us to a man from Vietnam who needed more than a quick prayer—he needed freedom that reached beyond the physical. What followed is a candid look at how healing and deliverance often work together, and why some pain refuses to leave until hidden roots are exposed.
We walk through the moment-by-moment choices in a live service: identifying the person, praying for healing, leading forgiveness, and confronting spiritual resistance tied to family history and oppressive visitations. When relief didn’t come on cue, we pressed deeper into biblical patterns—Jesus healing the sick and casting out demons, the reality of spirits of infirmity, and the importance of renouncing inherited ties that keep people stuck. The story doesn’t glamorize spiritual warfare; it shows the sober work of discipleship, boundaries, and follow‑through that make freedom last.
You’ll hear practical takeaways for prayer teams and seekers alike: how to test for underlying issues, what “breaking tracking” means, why ongoing teaching matters, and how to steward authority with compassion and clarity. If you’ve wondered why some conditions improve instantly while others linger, this conversation offers a grounded, hope‑filled framework to pursue both healing and deliverance with wisdom. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people discover a path to lasting freedom.
