This very questions brings us to analyse Jesus ministry and his prayer life. The disciples notice a significant relaitonship between the revival that followed Jesus' ministry and his prayer life. So one day, they came to him with a solemn request. They know they were called to be preachers, but they never asked him to teach them to preach. They know they were going to have a healing ministry, but they never asked to b taught to heal the sick or work miracles. They rather requsted: Lord teach us to pray Luke 11: 11 He did

It may well be that they knew how important prayer was to Jesus,He rose each morning before dawn to pray to His Father and derived great strength from this, and so they wanted to be able to pray as Jesus did.

Simple Question, but at least it is a little interesting.
People cannot heal anything and the words of people are the words of fools.
When we Pray that God do his will through us God can heal people and God can speak through us.
People literally cannot heal or preach, but, they can Pray. Salvation is only in God.

Because without a relationship (prayer) with the Father, the other gifts are worthless.

That was just how the writers of the bible included these instructions in their made up story.
