Trying Not To Be Selfish And Getting Healed Anyway

She stayed in her seat because she didn’t want to be “selfish” and then the miracle happened anyway. We’re sharing a powerful Christian healing testimony from Rivergate Church that turns on a moment many of us recognize: the hesitation to respond when a word of knowledge is given, even when it feels like it might be for us.We talk through what Linda Budd describes from a miracle healing service she was conducting, alongside the role of Pastor Joel as a word of knowledge is given first for a left hip and later for a left ear. The testimony is clear and specific: the woman responds to the left hip word, walks the aisle, and experiences what she calls a new hip. Later, when a word of knowledge is shared for her deaf left ear, she holds back because other people are responding and she doesn’t want to take attention or space. That inner dialogue is more common than we admit, and it raises a real question about how we view receiving, faith, and community prayer.Then the story shifts from public response to private encounter. While seated, she feels a tingling in her ear and experiences complete healing in her deaf left ear, and she can now hear perfectly. If you’re searching for encouragement around hearing loss, deafness, healing prayer, or how words of knowledge function in charismatic ministry, this short episode offers a vivid window into how these moments are experienced and how we pray in response.Subscribe for more testimonies and faith-building conversations, share this with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review if these stories strengthen you.
