I have cerebral palsy, which causes stuttering. At a missions trip during worship, the worship leader felt like they needed to pray for any kind of healing, so i raised my hand, and a guy who was a leader for another group that was there prayed for me and i felt something shift in my chest, it was a really powerful feeling. the sstutter is there as of now
YES it is GODS will to heal anyone.. excuse the copy and paste.. but I am myself not feeling well tonight.. and haven't got much time online.. I found this and it says it all very well..
I also want to encourage you to watch some clips on you tube by Pastor Joseph Prince regarding the LORD's supper.. I was so impressed I bought the dvds and they are fantastic at showing us that healing is ours paid for by JESUS death on the cross.. the bearing of our sins but also our diseases in HIS body.. HIS body was broken so we could be made whole..
Throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Jesus healed the sick. In fact, Jesus never turned down a sick person who believed and asked him for healing. The Book of Acts reported that Jesus healed all that were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). The devil made people sick, but Jesus healed them all. The same thing is happening today: The devil makes people sick, but Jesus stands ready to heal all who are sick. In fact, He made provision to heal all of us. By His stripes we were healed (1 Peter 2:24).
No sickness was too difficult for Jesus to heal. He healed every kind of sickness and every kind of disease (Matthew 4:23). No person was too far gone for Jesus. He even brought people back alive from death and healed them. He healed them all. The people in Syria brought to Jesus all who were ill, and he healed them (Matthew 4:24). Read Matthew 4:23-25 to find out what sicknesses and diseases Jesus healed in Syria. Read Matthew 8:16 and 12:15 as other examples of Jesus healing them all.
Just as Jesus healed all when he walked on the earth 2000 years ago, He stands ready to heal all today, because He has not changed (Hebrews 13:8). More importantly, Jesus stands ready to heal you, because He heals all and He shows no partiality (Romans 2:11). Whatever sickness you may face, Jesus made provision for your healing and stands ready to heal you. Just believe and ask Jesus for your healing, and you will be healed!
Feed the people around you with your smiles, and your face will become like Christ's inexhaustible basket of bread that fed thousands of people. Your face can feed people hungry for love in their life or at that very moment. "There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread." - Mother Teresa ♥
I believe, as he does, that healing is part of our redemptive
package. Jesus sometimes couldn't minister because of
people's unbelief. As believers, we can have faith, yet
our flesh may not be in agreement with it because of
what it is experiencing.

It seems to me to be absolutely VITAL that we know it is God's will to heal ALL, every single one who comes to Christ for healing, if we have any doubt we will not be healed, WHY? because if you did get healed and you were not sure if it was God's will, you might ever after doubt whether it was God or some other source from whence you were healed, It is for our own sakes that God witholds healing, or any other covenant blessing, if we are not UTTERLY convinced it is His will.
How then can we reach this place of certainty? it is not complex or difficult, it is simple~and that is just the problem, it is too simple and we cannot handle the simplicity of faith.
The simple fact is that Jesus bore away ALL sickness and disease just the same way He bore away ALL sin on the cross.
Everyone believes the part about sin, no-one doubts that God hates sin and will wash it away when we ask Him, but the same prophecy in Isaiah which says He bore our sin says just as strongly "SURELY He hath borne our sicknesses and carried our infirmities."
But people don't know that, preachers don't preach that, and when they do they do not preach it with the utter certainty with which they preach forgiveness. So the fault is not with God, and it is not with the sick and needy, it is with the ministers.

It is exactly this kind of statement~without any scriptural authority or base what-so-ever and myriad statements like it in the church that sap faith and rob people of the healing they ought to have.
Why do you not say the same for salvation from sin? you say He bore our sin on the cross THAT was God's timing. He doesn't die again and again for every new sin or new sinner it was once for all.
Well the very same scripture that teaches that He bore our sins on the cross teaches also that He bore our sickness and disease on the cross.
When people CAME to Christ for salvation He saved them, never turned anyone away [providing they came all the way]
When people CAME to Christ for healing He healed them, never turned anyone away.
