Jesus is the same always, if he healed all that came to him when walking on the earth, he does the same now, only through his Spirit-filled saints. Faith does play a role in everything we receive from Jesus including healing. He hasn't changed. The same principles apply.
As for the man who was crippled and healed, God knows the times and the seasons. The when and the whys. I believe God is no respecter of persons. He doesn't willy nilly pick and chose who to heal and who to save. That's the impression I get from your post when you attribute all healing to God's sovereignity. If anyone comes to Him in faith believing, according to his word, they will be healed. Unless there are other reasons, like Paul's thorn in the flesh. I don't claim to know it all, but I believe God will honor his word if we obey the conditions of his promises.
