Scripture tells us that soul prosperity is necessary for Divine wealth and health in the life of the Christ believer; we must care for the soul.

3 John 1:2 (LITV)
“Beloved, in regard to all things, I pray for you to prosper and to be in health as your soul prospers.”

Let us realize that healing is an act of the Spirit and not emotions. We cannot heal by our emotional strength. Healing comes by way of the Spirit and gives the soul prosperity. The soul cannot be defined as our emotions or inward thoughts. That is merely old Greek Philosophy.
“The Spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:6) Although the prosperous soul provides Divine health, it does not do the healing. It is the Spirit that gives life.

2 Kings 5:1 (NASB)
“Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master and highly respected because by him, YeHoVaH had given victory to Aram. The man was also a valiant warrior, but he was a leper.”

Naaman: General to Syria, a leper
He was filled with Pride, Ego, Vanity, and False Religion, which are intrinsic parts of his damaged soul.

2 Kings 5:9-14 (NASB)

If healing then comes from a prosperous soul, does sickness then come from a soul that is diseased with such things?

Though Naaman came up from the water and his leprosy was gone, his soul was not cleansed. We see this when he offers to the prophet Elisha “the bless.” Though the English translates as “please take a gift from your servant” The Hebrew text says that he offers the “bless”.

2 Kings 5:15 (NKJV)
“And he returned to the man of Elohim, (healed/cleansed)
he and all his aides and came and stood before him;
and he said, ‘Indeed, now I know that there is no
Elohim in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore,
please take a gift (Heb. “Berecha” = bless) from your servant.’”

Divine Healing takes place by the Anointing.
The Anointing is the Bless of Elohim. In order to have the Anointing flow and teem with life, the heavenly protocol must be in order. Naaman, in his pride, ego and vanity, raised his stature still above the prophet of YeHoVaH. His religious spirit offered a bless as a greater to the lesser, but his pride blinded him from the truth. It was Elisha who blessed Naaman, not the other way around.

Hebrews 7:7 NKJV
“Now beyond all contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the better.”

Elisha refuses the blessing from Naaman. It was unlawful.

2 Kings 5:16 NKJV
“But he said, “As YeHoVaH lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.”

Oftentimes people want to consider themselves according to their pride and say, “You have blessed me, now let me bless you.” This is not proper. An offering is unto YeHoVaH and the representative of YeHoVaH “eats of the fruit of it.” The offering is not “the bless” from the one receiving the Anointing to the one who distributes it. This breaks heavenly protocol. This is also why people need training in spiritual matters of the ministry of the Anointing.

Pride, ego and vanity wants to take a higher place; wants to show that “Elohim speaks through us, too.”

Gahazi should have been inheriting the Anointing from his spiritual father, Elisha.

But in 2 Kings 5:27, we see that “Gahazi pursued Naaman.” Thus, Gahazi rejected his inheritance of the Anointing and received an inheritance of pride, ego and vanity:
2 Kings 5:27
“‘Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.’ And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.”
