I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners. "I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the LORD, "And I will heal him." But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. "There is no peace," Says my God, "for the wicked." Isaiah 57:18-21
Those who say that healing is not God’s will are not only liars who don’t know God but also have discarded God’s word which is a testimony of the fact that He said without reservation ‘I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, And restore comforts to him And to his mourners.’ How can liars and deceivers and unrighteous ones go to heaven? They cannot for God’s word is unchanging:
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelations 21:8

Check out your favorite New Testament Greek Lexicon for the Greek word translated salvation. Salvation, with Strong’s Number 4982, means
Quote:
to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction
a. one (from injury or peril)
1. to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health
2. to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue
b. to save in the technical biblical sense
1. negatively 1b
c. to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment 1b
d. to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance
When does healing take place?
Salvation occurs in three tenses. Salvation involves something that is past, so that one can say, “I have been saved.” It also refers to an experience in progress, so that he can say, “I am being saved” (see Acts 2:47, RSV.). It also refers to the future; for there is a sense in which he can also say, “I shall be saved.”
Recall that John, in his vision of heaven, saw “a river of the water of life” and “the tree of life.” “And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:2). Let’s not fool ourselves into believing that genuine healing is confined to the here and now.

Jesus Christ who is the Savior, Healer, Deliver and Miracle is not limited by time or space. He heals and delivers in the now where He is. According to your faith is what you get. If you want healing only in the future that is your choice. I will take everything that I can get including healing and prosperity in the now and then also in heaven. That is why the Lord has healed me and different members of our family because we believe He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Psalms 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
103:3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
103:4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
103:5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
