Second Peter 3:9 says it isn'?t God?'s will for anyone to perish:
?The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.?
That?'s as plain as the Scripture can make it. It is not God'?s WILL for anyone to perish, but they do. In fact, Jesus said more people would enter through the broad gate unto destruction than enter through the narrow gate unto life (Matt. 7:13-14). God doesn'?t force salvation on people.
People don'?t have to ask Jesus to save them; they just need to believe the nearly-too-good-to-be-true news that their sins are already forgiven and receive their salvation (Acts 16:31). The same thing is true of healing: God has already healed everyone, just as He has already paid for the forgiveness of everyone?s sins.
Healing is already an accomplished work. First Peter 2:24 says,
?Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.? AW. Believe and receive your health and prosperity!!!
III John 2 -- Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
I Peter 2: 24 -- Who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Hosea 4:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,
