It's the last episode with Tracy in our Walking from Bondage to Breakthrough series, and she leaves us with her story of chronic illness. It's her testimony of how God has healed, and continues to heal, in a year-long battle with Vestibular Neuritis. You will love hearing her personal story as she describes what life is like for her right now, but moreso no matter how she feels, she determined long ago that wherever God leads her, she will preach Christ! 

What Tracy is learning through her illness:

  1. Self-reliance is a myth.
    1. “Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions.  Don’t worry about missing out.  You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.  Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.  God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” (Matthew 6:33-34, MSG)
    2. “Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle, but never get around to exercising it in real life.  Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them - living and breathing God!  Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life.”  (Romans 8:5-8, MSG)
  2. How to Glance at her body, but GAZE at Jesus.
    1. "He was fully convinced that God was able to do whatever He promised.” (Romans 4:18-24)
  3. How to wait expectantly for healing.
    1. I will daily ASK for healing.
    2. I will daily BELIEVE for healing.
    3. I will daily TRUST in God’s provisions of strength, grace and help in the midst of my chronic illness.
