God promises his children a heavenly healing and on occasion provides earthly ones as well. I hope you are not implying some kind of “name it and claim it” stuff.

“I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers” (3 John 2).

There’s a lot of “name it and claim it” in the Bible.

“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith has made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.” (Matt 9:20-22).

Many thronged him but only one said, “if I can only touch him I will be whole,” and Jesus said “Your faith has made you whole.”

Don’t be among those, like the Pharisees in Jesus’ day, who scoffed and actually hindered God’s people from receiving from Jesus.

Name it, claim it and believe it:

Mark 9 -

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
