God says always test the spirits if a spirit does not confess Jesus as come in the flesh and being God risen from the dead they are false, all according to the bibleSome good responses here. All I will add is for your own healing the need to recognize your own authority that God has given you in the name of Jesus and your position in Christ. Regarding your position, you are a child of God, a joint heir of Jesus. None of the angels can say that. Still, they can be messengers or ministering spirits sent from heaven but angels are not exercising their own will but rather the will of God. So channeling/praying etc. to them is a downgrade to your own position that can go straight to God. What angel has the power to forgive sin? none, What angel can act highly independently from God? none, except demons. So a born again believer has an interesting position in God.
Hebrews 2:14-16 says, “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.”
So how is healing really achieved? By faith, and that faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God. Hearing is not just reading the bible, it is the rhema or the spoken word of God. At some point as you focus on God hear from Him and it is that hearing that helps bring healing. One could make the case that Paul's thorn was a denial of healing but it is unknown for certain what that thorn was plus Paul was humbled because of the great revelation he was receiving so that really should not apply to many of us. I will admit too that some healings require miracles, like the blind being able to see. Angels are present in some healings. One of my former pastors relays a story where his wife saw the angel come into the room and touch the pastor, bringing him healing. But the angel was the messenger, it was God responding to a man's faith that caused the healing.
In short, it is good to respect angels but why not just go to the top and learn about Jesus and the authority and faith that can come from Him and the word of God? Who as a man, lower than Satan openly showed that he could defeat Satan as a man. And having done that raised man to a position that was higher than angels.
Of course no man has all knowledge in this but I am glad you have veered from this woman and will begin to mature in the things of God. In any given instance, you yourself can achieve faith for almost anything as you seek and God gives that to you. Unlike many contemporaries though you can't just claim it, demand it or even work for it without God giving the increase. What you can do is throw yourself at the feet of Jesus and learn what He is going to teach you. Take that mustard seed of faith and bring it to a full grown tree in the areas of your life that Jesus wants to touch, which includes physical healing. God bless you on your journey.
