For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” - Matt 9:5-6
For Jesus, the forgiveness of sin is the same as the healing of sicknesses and diseases. When God forgave our sin, He made us whole ----- healed of sicknesses and diseases.
If we cannot believe that God wants us healed, it means that we don't believe that God has forgiven us of our sin.
Sin is the root of every sickness, disease and death.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned. - Rom 5:12
When God forgave our sin through Jesus on the Cross, He dealt with the sin's problem. Since the sin's problem is dealt with, the result of sin ---- sickness, disease and death, is also dealt with.
When you receive His forgiveness to be a born-again believer, you receive His wholeness to be free from sicknesses and diseases. If you accept His forgiveness, you can accept His healing and wholeness.
The reason why some people only receive healing when they release forgiveness to those who hurt them is NOT because there is a prerequisite for physical healing. It is because they finally understood that Christ has forgiven them, which gave them the power to forgive those who hurt them.
And when they understood God's forgiveness, they are at the right position to receive His wholeness. For when God forgave us of our sins, He also healed all our sicknesses and diseases.
