No but when Timothy got sick with stomach issues, he was told to drink wine to help with his sickness.

And when Paul plead to God to heal the thorn in his flesh, God did not help, but told him that his grace alone was enough, that his power is made perfect in weakness

Paul and Timothy weren't Jesus, Jesus modeled how we are to live.
He requires first place ahead of Paul and Timothy.

No but Paul and Timothy were inspired by the Holy spirit and everything Paul wrote im the Bible was breathed by God himself. These examples prove that Gods will isnt always to heal people, think Job.

Jesus modeled how we are supposed to live, as did other people in the Bible. One of the Apostles even says something along the lines of "everything you see us do, do and things will be well with you", im paraphrasing, and would need to find the scripture.

The Apostles knew Jesus directly, and were taught by him. I think its wise to follow their lead as well, with some exception(for example peter being silly and not eating with gentiles with jews around). Even then, Paul rebuked him.

Its funny, because they even were giving commands and leading the church as Jesus had asked for them to do, these commands were much more explanatory and expressive than "raise the dead" and "don't pray for the sick only heal them", which Jesus never said.

We as believers are asked to do so many things.

Job lived before there was an intercessor.
Jesus taught ALL things are new in Him.
