Through the presence of the gifts and the anointing to heal:
There are times when God releases the gifts of healing in certain places. In these instances, the anointing is so great that even clothes are used as points of contact. People are healed in a spirit-saturated environment where gifts of healing are released.

Now God worked unusual miracles by the hand of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick and the diseases left them and evil spirits went out of them (Acts 19: 11-12)

To another faith (is given) by the same spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same spirit (1 Cor. 12:9)

Clearly healing is a gift given for the benefit of the church and for the glory of God.

Through laying of hands:
It is the privilege of every true believer to lay hands on the sick and pray for their recovery. When this is done, a spiritual transference takes place in the invisible realm.

They will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover (Mark 16:18)

Through elders prayers and anointing oil:
Here the believer by his own volition calls for the pastor(s) to pray over him. Confession of sins and heart preparation is necessary. The oil symbolizes the work of the spirit.

is anyone among you sick? Let call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the lord. (James 5:14)

Through speaking the word to your sickness:
Note carefully in the following verse, the believer must say his need. This word must be spoken confidently. Here your own words are the tool you will use to drive the sickness away.

For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he say will be done, he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:23)

Through the power of agreement and healing:
The reason God gave us the church was so that we could learn the power of agreement. Psalms 133 speaks of God’s commanded blessing when two or more get into agreement about the will of God. To actualize this healing, you need the church to come to agreement and speak your healing.

Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them (Matt. 18:19-20)

Through your own faith:
Your own faith-saturated prayer can deliver healing to you. Faith will make plans and move on in spite of the sickness

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:24)

Through the name of Jesus:
The name of Jesus is a powerful force against disease and devils. It is a veritable battering ram for knocking down diseases.

And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it (John 14:13-14)

Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms. And fixing his eyes on him with John, Peter said ‘look at us’. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
Then Peter said ‘Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk’. And he took him by his right hand and lifted him up and immediately his feet and ankles bones received strength. So he leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them- walking, leaping and praising God (Acts 3:1-8)

Through praying for others:
God brought total restoration to Job when he forget self-interest and began to intercede for his wayward friends.
In the midst of his intercession God gave him what he needed.

And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. (Job 42:10)

Through medicine:
God has built the human body with defense systems that respond to attacks by sickness and disease. Because He has placed healing process in the body, God may use medicine to heal, aiding the natural defense of the body.
Jesus Himself said,

Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. (Matt. 9:12)

God uses myriad approaches to effect healing for His children and most people have been healed except those whose time is up and they go home to be with the Lord.
