What happens when a room full of people names their pain out loud and hears one simple line in response—Jesus took the pain? We watched fear loosen its grip, faces soften, and long-standing symptoms lift in minutes. No smoke, no show, just presence, love, and a clear request for mercy that met real bodies in real time.We open by sharing how a literal reading of “lay hands on the sick and they will recover” guides our ministry at Rivergate Church in Tulsa. Linda walks through a recent moment before a difficult medical procedure, where dread felt unavoidable until a quiet conviction broke through. Holding onto “Jesus took the pain,” the expected agony never came. That surprise sparked a wider wave of faith, and later that night we moved person to person, listening first, then praying directly for knees, backs, and long-ignored injuries. The pattern was simple: identify the need, declare what Christ already carried, and welcome peace. One after another, people reported relief, some from conditions they had carried for years.This conversation doubles as a field guide for praying for the sick without hype. We talk about speaking to pain plainly, blessing specific body parts, and celebrating incremental change. We honor doctors and treatment while also holding space for God’s intervention. If you’ve felt tired, skeptical, or stuck, this story invites you to try again with a clear, grounded approach: name the pain, declare that Jesus took it, and expect movement.If these testimonies build your faith, share the episode with someone who needs hope today, leave a review to help others find it, and subscribe for more stories and practical tools for healing prayer.
