Why am I not getting healed?

There could be many reasons why but the main ones could be familiarity and lack of relationship with God. 

Familiarity is one that is hard to notice if you are the one with it. It can prevent you from receiving your healing from the man of God if you’re too close in relation with each other. Because then you can grow a sense of familiarity to them. This is because dishonour is likely to take place. Take Jesus for example, He said in Mark 6:4-5, “”A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”  Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.” He mentioned ‘his own relatives’ and ‘his own house’ because those are the people that saw him grow up from a young baby. So when you’ve changed the nappies of a man with all the glory and power there is, your vision can become distorted to only see them as still being young child that you saw grow up. Especially when they are still younger than you. This limited Jesus to only heal a few sick people because of their familiarity. The bible says “He could not”, meaning it was basically impossible for Him to do so even though He had all the power. It is possible to limit God in your life, it doesn’t mean He is unable but in that circumstance, you have restricted Him from moving in your life. The same way you can make the word of God of no effect with tradition and religion (Mark 7:13). That doesn’t mean the word of God isn’t powerful but that humans can nullify and deprive it by depriving the word from it’s force and authority (akuroó meaning of no effect in Greek) because God can only move in the parameter you have set with or without realising. So therefore, with familiarity, it is difficult to honour. You can not honour what you don’t recognise but it is possible to have a close relationship with God and not become too familiar. A way to do this is by knowing when to humble yourself when you come before God. And when you do that to remove any titles that you’ve been given, whether you’re a prophet or teacher or doctor and come to God as a child. And to come to Him empty so that he may completely fill you up Himself. Removing all things that you used to know, whether true or not and allow God to reveal a present truth to you. 

Familiarity is also possible in relationships, like Michal for example, when she saw David dancing and worshiping with all his might, through the window. She became embarrassed as she says in 2 Samuel 6:20 when she said “shamelessly uncovered himself”. She took it personal and thought of the other women that could have potentially seen him dancing. This was Michal’s inability to recognise him as a man of God. She was seeing him as her man in that moment in time, that's why a bit of jealously entered her because her feelings got in the way. Thats why David replied saying that what he was doing “it was before the Lord… therefore I will play music before the Lord, I will be even more undignified than this and will be humble in my own sight”. If this was Job, he would’ve said the same thing he said to his wife, “you speak as a foolish woman speaks” (Job 2:10) because job’s wife also held that familiarity, because the ‘of God’ part became silent to her, making him just a man. How can she tell him to curse God, we’ll never know but it doesn’t make us any better than her. But in the case of Michal, due to her lack of honour in that moment, she became barren from then onwards (2 Samuel 6:23).

That's why it’s important that God checks your heart daily cause you will never know what’s embedded in your character. Sometimes when you do something once or say something once, it can either be an out of character moment/a mistake or it can be a character problem. And it is out of the heart that those issues arise because it is out of the mouth that the heart speaks (Luke 6:45). Unless satan controls it for a second like he did with Peter. But give all you heart to God, so that when you speak, it is His words that is upon your tongue and not anyone else’s. This will lead to a good relationship with God with no familiarity.

Declaration:

I shall not familiarise myself to the Lord to the point where I hinder His movement in my life. Im ready to remove all this that I know, so that God can do a new thing in my life. I will open the door for healing in my life and use it to also glorify God. God has loved me before I loved Him and has chosen me as a royal priesthood. So with or without my healing I will bless His name. And I will glory in knowing Him alone. Amen
