There is a connection with actually hearing from our Lord Jesus Christ, doing what He says, and getting healing. This is explained in the Bible.
Ex 15:26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
The problem then is that we don't hear from Him otherwise we would get healing.
Mat 13:115 FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,
WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES,
OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES,
HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,
AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'
Of course there is also something about how all flesh is like grass - and something about it given to us to die once. Still there is a connection with actually hearing His with our spiritual ears by faith and Him healing us!!!!
So I read people tell people they need to go to church for healing. Ok - He might use the church in many ways to heal us, but going to church is not the same thing as actually taking time to seek Jesus Christ and hear what He has to say to you. So yeah - go to church - but that is not the answer. The answer is actually turning to Jesus Christ and listening to Him.
I also read where we advise people in need to read their Bible. Well - Jesus Christ as the Word of God did tell those who wrote the Bible to write, so reading what they wrote is advisable, however reading what someone else wrote, even if they got the the words they wrote from Jesus Christ, is not the same thing as hearing Him for yourself.
I also read people give vague testimonies about how Jesus Christ was with them and healed them - and those are good testimonies - but they rarely actually explain about how they hear Him talking to them and how important that was for them. So the connection between hearing His voice for yourself and getting your healing is often missed.
Now the Lord had me sign up and work in a Christian healing ministry for five years. I learned a lot doing that. What I found out was that my job was to turn people to Jesus Christ, and to get them to listen to Him for themselves!!!!! I learned that by listening to Him myself. He wants His people to listen to Him, however if they are going to close their eyes and ears so they don't hear from Him, then what?
I saw a lot of people get healed, and even a high percentage of people who came in for healing got some healing. I'd say at least 70 % of the people who came to that ministry got some healing from Jesus Christ. Often He would do a little, then a little more if they came back. Sometimes He would just do a great miracle right then. Sometimes He they would come in for one thing, I would hear Him ask about another thing and when I checked they would also have that issue and He would heal that on that night, so they didn't get the healing they came in for but got the healing He wanted to give them on that night.
Jesus Christ, as God and the Word of God, is still going to do the right thing. So to find out what we need to do we must listen to Him!!!!!!
So do you need healing - well start talking to Him with a focus on actually trying to listen for what He has to say to you!!
Do you have depression - well Jesus Christ can get rid of that problem, but you need to seek His voice and listen to what He says. Pretending to but not actually dong that is not going to fool Him. Jesus Christ knows you listens and seek Him and who doesn't. You can't fool God.
So do you have too many other voices going off in your head. Well, He can get rid of those other voice, but He might not completely remove them all. Paul explained the he had a messenger from Satan like a thorn in his side and that the Lord was unwilling to remove that messenger from Satan. It is written that we have battles with the dark forces of this world - so we need to seek Jesus Christ the King of kings and His Kingdom of God. There are more with us than against us, but do we seek our Lord Jesus Christ, really??
