A single vision can reset a room. When Melinda Budd stood up at our healing service and described someone slipping on a tile floor, an elderly man named Alan knew it was him. He had fallen twice and now lived with pain and a walker. What happened next was not hype or theatrics; it was a sequence of bold steps, sharp commands, and a surge of power that turned caution into courage and hope into action.
We walk you through the moment a crowded room became deeply personal: the first, hesitant attempt to move without support; a wife desperate for relief, listing every pain that would not let go; and the startling turn when Melinda cut through the noise with a clear declaration, “Jesus Christ heals you.” The shift was immediate. The wife cried out, moved in ways she could not moments before, and the atmosphere cracked open with awe. Melinda herself was overwhelmed by what she calls the fear of the Lord—swept back, stunned, and filled with worship. That awe reframed everything: healing was not just about symptom relief but a meeting with a present, loving Father.
Then came the return to Alan. A simple command—get up and walk—landed with fresh authority. This time he walked the aisle unaided. Color returned to his face. His posture and presence changed, as if years had lifted. We talk through why persistence matters when the first step seems small, how bold speech can unlock faith, and what it means to hold reverence and risk together. For anyone who has fallen, physically or otherwise, we offer a straight path forward: test what changed, take a step, and resist reaching for the old supports unless you truly need them.
