Faith either waits politely at the door or steps into the room with authority—today, we choose authority. Pastor Linda Budd, from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, shares a straightforward, scripture-first approach to healing that pushes past endless requests and into confident declarations anchored in Isaiah 53:5. We walk through why she takes Jesus’ commission to lay hands on the sick literally, how years of praying for people have shaped her boldness, and what it means to treat sickness like a trespasser on property Jesus already purchased.
You’ll hear a focused prayer for creative miracles—“new body parts” language that reflects trust in God as Creator—and a practical rhythm for standing in faith when symptoms persist. Rather than reducing faith to one big moment, we explore a daily practice: speak God’s word over your body, align your thoughts with the truth of Christ’s finished work, and keep your stance until your life echoes the promise. The stories we share aren’t hype; they’re meant to fuel steady endurance, reminding us that testimonies point to what God is still doing, not just what He did once.
If you’ve felt stuck repeating the same prayer, this conversation offers a clear shift: rise up, declare the word, and hold your ground. We aim to equip believers with simple, strong tools—scripture, expectation, and a posture of enforcement rather than negotiation. Share this with someone who needs courage, subscribe for more faith-building conversations, and leave a review to tell us what you’re contending for so we can stand with you.
