When the Promise will be recieved.

Those who are healed will preach heavily on others that they can be healed too as YOU HAVE. As 2 Corinthians 10:12 says : "We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." I mean, after one person gets healed, they are pushing others to get healed as well. This does not mean if one is healed that others will be healed. Healing promise is the same as this verse in the Hall of Faith Hebrews 6:15 "And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised." 1 Peter 5:6 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." This ties with this parable in Luke 18:9-14: To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Paul reminds us in Philippians 2:21 "For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ." that we as the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful (2 Timothy 2:24). There are those who will receive the promise of healing as Hebrews 11:39,40 says "These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect." Everyone will get healed but only in God's time, NOT OURS.
