As with the other "signs and wonders" gifts; questions exist of healings today as were the case in the Apostolic era. The verse in Corinthians ( 1 Cor. 13:10) which states that certain things will pass once the perfect comes leads some to question whether that means the end of Canon being written or when Christ Himself comes as to when tongues; healings; prophesyings and other such things will end. It is certainly clear that prophecy will characterize the Tribulation with the signs and wonders of destruction being given to the two prophets.
Strictly from an impartial view; there are instances when "spontaneous" healings seem to occur with cancer disappearing; for example. I am not aware of any doctors ever describing a limb growing back; however. There are also some so called healings that are clearly faked. These would; more often than not involve TV evangelists who have "healing" gifts assigned to a preacher. Often there is not good documentation from any reliable doctors; and testimony other than from the individual involved (such as family members; friends). We certainly don't hear of warnings like Christ had to "go and sin no more" nor have the discernment as to whether an ailment is because of sin; demonic influence or no fault of the individual; ALL which are dealt with in specific incidences differently in scripture.
God works out all gifts in distributing as He will. There certainly should be more prayer in general in churches for illnesses as well as a myriad of other needs. There is no indication that healing is mutually exclusive to seeing doctors; in fact the O.T. rules of seeing the Priest were mentioned by Christ on occasion after healing. General wisdom on proper care is important as well.
Proverbs 17:22 also shows how joy can bring healing; particularly for the soul. I have seen too many lives prolonged after prayer; so we should pray particularly for the saints and meet needs whenever possible.

worked in a prefab housing plant and my area built roof trusses. One day the trusses werenot stacked correctly against
the wall on Iron rails and I walked by and 10 22foot trusses came down and flattened me. Next thing I new I was in the
hospital bed. I had bandages oon my neck and suffered a full body concussion whatever that means. The doctor told me
I couldn't move I then closed my I prayed and immediately had a warm gentle flush through my body and sat up and went
to the mens room. The doctor ask how could I do that and I said I prayed and God healed me to which he said whatever
which now i'm used to. All things given of God are freely given the believer must act on what is written to receive and also
God our father is more willing to give then we are to receive. I'm nobody special just a believer that endeavors to believe
in all that was given and paid for by our lord and saviour. I'm convinced that the christian church doesn't or believers don't
see great deliverance because they are too sin and condemnation conscience and I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Thre last is true
that's why JESUS CHRIST came to make us good enough and righteous and redeemed before our Father GOD.
