Sure. I have myself. It was an instantaneous healing--snap, just like that--from a back injury that had plagued me for over a decade. Went away in the moment I stood up in obedience to the Holy Spirit and has never returned. That was a time that the Lord was telling me to do a particular physical task and I needed to be healed to get it done.
OTOH, the Lord has never healed my myopia or my enlarged sinus turbinets (took three operations to get those in check) nor has He protected me from the physical ravages of old age, such as this troublesome enlarged prostate.
Have you noted the eye problems Paul speaks of in Galatians? It's got an interesting juxtaposition:
So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? -- Galatians 3
As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.--Galatians 4
Wow. Paul was sick among the Galatians (apparently an eye problem) even as God was working miracles among them, although from what Paul says, God used his illness to put him among the Galatians in the first place.
