Receiving by faith
You can receive healing anytime, anywhere, without anyone else's involvement, by following Mark 11:24. You first must understand that your healing has been purchased already and it is just waiting for you to take it. If you feel that you must twist God's arm to get him to heal you, you are not yet ready to receive your healing in this way.
You are simply receiving a gift from God that has been reserved for you since Calvary. Contrary to what people might tell you, this is not a difficult thing to do. Let's face it, the people in the Bible who touched Jesus' clothes did not have the wealth of Bible teaching that we have today. Yet they managed to have it "done unto them according to their faith!" If it didn't take them years to figure this out, it doesn't have to take you years, either.
Besides, if you are saved, you already know how to receive a gift that has been laid up since Calvary. That is how you were born again. You are a believer. Your spirit has been created in God's image in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).
The only thing that makes this hard is the enormous amount of junk teaching in the church world that makes fun of divine healing and those who practice it, and leaves you with the mistaken idea that you cannot really practice Mark 11:24 and receive your healing.
Speaking to your condition
A related, but slightly different, method is to speak to your condition directly yourself and command it to leave in the name of Jesus. The basis for this is Mark 11:23, where Jesus said that you could speak to a mountain and it would be thrown into the sea. He said that if you say something with your mouth and believe it in your heart, you will have whatever you say.
Jesus was not concerned with having you literally throw a mountain into the sea. That could cause trouble unless you also have the faith to stop the killer waves and other damage that could result from doing so. The point was that your words contain virtually unlimited power. You have the authority to speak a thing and have it come to pass.
You and all other believers are constantly using this principle. The trouble is that the immature believer uses it against himself. He gets into fear and believes what the devil says instead of what God says. He speaks what the devil says, and that comes to pass. Jesus did not say that you would have whatever you believe and say as long as it is good. You will have what you believe and say whether it is good or bad! Unbelievers can do this because this applies to whosoever.
The people that Jesus commended for having great faith were those who believed so much in the power of words that they did not need anything else.
In Matthew 15:22-28, a Gentile woman who was not under the Old Covenant persisted in demanding that Jesus do something about her demon-possessed daughter. Jesus merely spoke words. He did not visit the daughter. The woman believed the words Jesus spoke and her daughter was healed. Jesus said that this woman had great faith.
In Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:2-10 you can read an account of a centurion who understood authority. He believed that Jesus could just speak words and his servant would be healed. He did not even ask for a personal visit. Jesus spoke words and the servant was healed immediately. Jesus marvelled at this man's great faith and said that he did know of anyone in Israel with such faith.
In John 4:46-53, a nobleman did request a personal visit, but Jesus simply spoke words instead, the man believed that his words had authority, and the man's son "began to amend" at precisely that moment. Jesus never visited or touched the boy.
Jesus demonstrated the power of words to his disciples when he cursed the fig tree. The next morning, there was visible proof that it was dead, although this process started immediately but invisibly. This is the context for Mark 11:23-24 as well as Matthew 21:18-22. This is a good lesson when you are using words to make the sickness in your body die. Like the fig tree, it may not immediately appear to be dead even though it starts to die the minute you speak. After a while, as long as you stay in faith, what was once only on the inside will manifest on the outside.
We can surmise from Jesus' statements about great faith that people who are experienced in walking in faith would use this method. A new believer would probably not receive his healing this way, although he is legally entitled to do so as much as a mature believer.
Take your pick!
You can be healed in any of these ways. Use whichever you feel like using. If you don't feel ready to use the more "advanced" methods, use the easier ones. The main idea is to get healed! In his mercy, God has given you many ways to receive your healing!
