“Good job making yourself look like a fool”
Nope. You are a liar. Or a simpleton. Do you have any idea how many faithful, believing, praying DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ have suffered from sickness, and been told what the Apostle Paul was told: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5, NKJV)
Isaiah 53 is the most renowned Old Testament passage on Christ’s atoning work. John MacArthur refers to it as “the first gospel” or The Gospel According to God. It contains vivid and precise prophetic imagery concerning Christ’s suffering and crucifixion. And the “stripes” mentioned in verse five refer to the lashes Christ received at the hands of Roman soldiers....
The belief that Christ’s physical suffering somehow guarantees our physical healing in this life isn’t merely an abuse of Scripture—it’s a form of mental and spiritual torture to those who sit under such false teaching. It’s a lie that has left many churchgoers disappointed with the gospel. Rather than longing for their heavenly home, they are gripped by unrealized expectations in the here and now. The sickness they struggle with leaves them feeling like failures who lack the necessary faith to claim the healing that’s rightfully theirs.
The fact that everyone still dies should be proof enough that on this side of eternity all people are still subject to Adam’s curse. Sickness is a very real part of life in this fallen world, and no amount of claiming divine health is going to change that. Even the disciples of the early church didn’t rebuke their physical ailments into oblivion—they dealt with them as best they could like everybody else...
Christ died for believers to separate them from sin’s penalty, so it can never condemn them. The record of their sins, the indictment of guilt that had them headed for hell, was “nailed to the cross” (Colossians 2:12–14). Jesus paid their debt to God in full. In that sense, all Christians are freed from sin’s penalty. They are also delivered from its dominating power and made able to live to righteousness (cf. Romans 6:16–22).
Peter describes this death to sin and becoming alive to righteousness as a healing: by His wounds you were healed....

Or why THEY get sick and are not healed....
you have no idea what the Word of God even says. Sad for you as a ‘long time Christian’. You never bothered understanding what you read, if you read the Word. Which, sadly, many Christians do NOT read the Word.
Isaiah 53:5
Exodus 15:6
Psalm 107:20
Psalm 103:2-3
Jeremiah 33:7
1 Peter 2:24
Matthew 15:30
Luke 4:38-41
Here’s several healing scriptures, just to name a few. Somehow speaking with you makes me think of the verse about throwing pearls before swine as you are not interested in the actual truth. You’re only interest is trying to prove to the gullible that God, through Jesus Christ, doesn’t heal.
