Dear Margie, I would like to expand on what Jesse wrote. It is true that physical healing is not promised to us today because this dispensation is not about Israel or Gods promises to them. Physical healing is a part of the promises of God to Israel and the establishment of the kingdom promised to them. In this dispensation there is neither Jew nor Gentile. Believers are immersed into the body of Christ. God does have mercy with physical healing today but it is not promised. God was still dealing with Israel in early Acts and then slowly withdrew this sign gift as Israel again rejected the witness of the Holy Spirit repeatedly in Acts so that God finally withdrew the sign gifts to them. Thats why you read about physical healing and other sign gifts in Pauls epistles written during the Acts period. As Moses was given Gods revelation for the Jews, Paul was given Gods revelation for believers today. See Eph 3. I hope this helps because without this understanding it is difficult to reason why we are not healed physically all the time. Not our promise. We have something so much better. May God give you understanding.
Christ's atonement was for our spiritual healing, not physical. This is not to say that God can't heal us physically if He chooses to do so. Christ's sacrificial atonement provided a way for our soul to be healed from sin.
Physical healing was not part of the atonement. The apostle Paul had suffered so many physical ailments. He asked God on more than one occasion to remove these physical ailments and God chose not to do so but instead said "My grace is sufficient for thee."

Anything you ask the Father in Jesus's name and don't doubt in your heart, He will do it. We have not because we ask not.
God's Word is True. If you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, that same faith will heal your physical body.
