A single testimony can reset your expectations, especially when the timeline makes no sense. I’m Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I’m sharing a healing moment that still stops me: a man with a wrist injury and a failed surgery from 30 years ago comes to an Encounters Healing Service, and everything changes in minutes.
I talk about why I take scripture literally when it says to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, and why I’ve spent years pursuing a healing anointing through prayer and obedience. You’ll hear how a word of knowledge about “wrists” kept pressing on me until I finally asked a visitor the simple question, “Do you have a wrist problem?” What follows is a clear, step-by-step picture of healing prayer: inviting him forward, sensing the presence of God, laying hands on him, and then watching him test his wrist and move it in ways he said he could not do before.
Beyond the miracle, we sit with the takeaway that matters for everyday life: don’t give up if you’ve been asking God for healing for years. Chronic pain, long-term illness, and deep discouragement can wear you down, but I’ve seen God come suddenly, even after decades. I also pray directly for anyone listening who has wrist pain or limitation, asking Jesus Christ to heal and restore.
If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people looking for Christian healing testimonies and healing prayer can find it.
