Things that have to be worked on and over come ---before healing can take effect ----it is a process of maturing by practicing and getting these hindrances out of the way ------this takes work and time from us --
Hindrances to Receiving healing
Unbelief
This one is indeed the major stumbling block.
Unbelief makes the power of God ineffective. Wherever unbelief thrives, the power of God is limited. We see a vivid example of this in the new testament;
Matthew 13:58
And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
I say ------The Process is overcoming unbelief ------
Ignorance (Lack of accurate knowledge) on the subject of healing
Nothing sponsors unbelief like ignorance. It is difficult to believe what you are ignorant of. That is why God instructs us to
study his word constantly and acquire the knowledge that puts us over the world. The more of God’s word you study and meditate on, the less likely you are to live in unbelief.
I say ------The Process is to study and meditate on His word ----this takes time --effort -----steadfastness -----to gain the right knowledge and Faith needed to overcome unbelief -----
Common Barriers to healing
1. Ignorance
We are talking about ignorant of what the Bible teaches; ignorant of what God has already provided for you and ignorant of how to receive it. There are many warnings in the Scripture about ignorance and two of them are from the prophets.
A. The Lord said through Isaiah, "Therefore
my people have gone into captivity. Because
they have no knowledge; their honorable men are famished and their multitude dried up with thirst" (Isaiah 5:13, emphasis added).
Due to their lack of knowledge and ignorance God's people have gone into captivity, both physically and spiritually. Multitudes of professing Christians and Churchgoers today have gone into spiritual captivity. because they don't know what God has provided for them and don't know how to receive God's provision.
B. The Lord said through Hosea, "
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being a priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children" (Hosea 4:6, emphasis added).
Again this is a picture of many of the professing Christian Church today. Notice that Christians are made priest and kings to God the Father (Revelation 1:6).
2. Unbelief
It is not enough to have heard the Word of God and have understanding in what God was telling you, but
you have to believe it it.
Jesus said about the Holy Spirit, "And when He (the Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
of sin, because they do not believe in Me; ..." (John 16:8, 9, emphasis added).
Therefore unbelief is not just a harmless weakness, but it is both of evil and of sin. We need to repent and renounce it before we can minister and receive healing.
3. Unconfessed sin
Solomon said, "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13).
Without the mercy of God no one could minister or receive healing.
The psalmist said, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear" (Ps. 66:18).
When there is unconfessed sin between God and you, God will not hear any of your prayers including your prayer for healing.
4. Unforgiveness
Jesus said, "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, (Mark 11:25, 26).
Obviously Jesus was talking about a barrier that keeps God from forgiving you and from answering your prayer.
If you have any unforgiveness, any resentment, any bitterness in your heart against anyone, before you go further you must forgive and lay down that resentment and bitterness.
I say -----Practicing to let go of any unforgiveness ---resentment and bitterness in the heart takes practice ---time ----steadfastness to accomplish so healing is not hindered -------
5. Occult involvement
This concerns the involvement of all kinds of satanic supernatural activities, superstition, fortune telling, worshipping the dead and various kinds of magic and charm. This includes anything that dishornor Jesus and honor Satan.
Moses warned the children of Israel about serving false gods and their images in Exodus 23.
So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And
I will take sickness away from the midst of you" (Exodus 23:24, 25, emphasis added).
6. Unscriptural covenant
The children of God must not make any unscriptural covenant with people who are in some way associated with false gods.
Moses said, "You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods" (Exodus 23:32).

I say -----I was involved in Yoga -----and had to break away from attending that -----as that is connected to Buddhism -----and didn't realize that just doing the exercises still ties in with mind meditation --which relied on self not God -----
So if this doesn't answer your question -----divine healing comes by preparing yourself to receive it ---
God did His Part ----you have to now do your part --------
where in the bible it is taught that divine healing is a process and I have to research to pursue my healing?
Then you will have to resort to God for your answer ---and hopefully He will answer your prayer if you follow His way to get answered prayer ---cause God says this -----
Proverbs 28:9
If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
There is a process to divine healing ----believe it or not
