1. Healing is bought by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. God cursed all sickness in Jesus on the cross, as its written "“Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”. This also explains why Moses hung a picture of a snake on the tree for Israelites to gaze upon, instead of some positive thing: we are to understand that God has CURSED sickness, infirmity, sin and the like.
2. Healing is an expression of the kingdom of God come near. "But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you". The kingdom is where the king's will is done, and God wants you to be healed. If your body is outside the kingdom of God, it is not healed.
3. We receive healing at the point of our faith. The woman with the issue of blood (Matthew 9) had decided that for her healing would work if she touched the hem of Jesus' garment. For the centurion (Luke 7), he could believe Jesus' word would heal.
You need to figure out how you can receive healing, and that will probably be different from the person next to you. Options include: quietly in your own prayer closet, being prayed for by the elders/great visiting prophet/wife/husband/friend, reaching out by acting against the sickness, by proclaming healing with your words, or by some other means. The way to receive healing does not have to be the same for everyone.
