The Apostles were healing on Credit because Jesus was not whipped yet. Pete Cabrera Jr.
Healing is part of the finished Work of Jesus Christ. We remember it every time we do communion, that his body was broken for our healing. At the Whipping Posts, all of humanity was included and every healing was performed at that moment. In the Old Testament, healing was by faith, looking forward to the promises of what Jesus would eventually do. Today, in the New Covenant, healing is a fact, because the whipping post is a staple of history.
God really wanted everyone to be healed and walk in health. There are basically four ways He has provided means for us to have life in our physical bodies for each place we are at. Firstly, For the unbeliever, healing is a sign (Mark 16:17), by the laying on of the believers hand onto the unbelieving sick person, they can be healed. For the new believer who doesnt have faith for themselves, we are told to call the elders and they will come, anoint with oil and the prayer of faith will heal the sick (James 5:14-16).
If you are a mature Christian, you can be healed by Communion.
1 Corinthians 11:29 30 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lords body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
The damnation of Communion is not sin as some would have you believe. In fact, if you have sin, you need to drink the cup of Communion by faith, as a testimony that by his Blood all your sins are forgiven (Ephesians 4:32 )! The Condemnation in this passage is Not Discerning the Lords Body.
