God always wants to heal you. We know this from Jesus work on the cross, his death and resurrection.

“Surely/ firmly/truly, we know that He bore our sickness and carried away our pain.” Isaiah 53: 4 (translated literally from Hebrew)

Not only is this plain Hebrew, but also we know this is the correct interpretation of the Isaiah scripture, for it is quoted in Matthew, clearly in the context of healing:

Matthew 8:16&17
And when evening had come, they brought to Him any who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill
17 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, “He himself took our infirmities, and carried away our disease.”

We know also from I Peter 2:24: “By His wounds you were healed.” The context is indeed, total healing, not just bodily, but the wider of the chapters is one of complete practicality. Peter is dealing with common, everyday matters, not things that could be figurative or vague. It is evident that Peter is alluding to Isaiah 53 : no guile, relived not again and then in v 24 “ who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed, v 25 For y were as sheep going astray, but are now returned unto the Shepherd and the Bishop of you souls.

We are completely made whole. Bodily healing is included in our overall healing.

It is a sure, and firm word, witnessed to by three scriptures.

And by many many who have believed and received.

Take your stand on the sure word of God. Every word is sure. Your salvation is sure, if you have receive and believed. Now received the rest of your salvation, the rest of your healing, the salvation of your body.

It is the plain word of God, witnessed to and explained – clearly and succinctly. Therefore I recommend simply sitting and soaking in these verses. Why keep arguing when God has spoken? The thing to do is to bring mind into alignment with what you should now know. Reread, meditate, study out these scriptures. Satisfy yourself. I think you will find it clear.
