Acts 20:24

"But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER of God."

Acts 15:11

"But we believe that though the ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."

Acts 14:3

"Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands."

Acts 4:33

"And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER was upon them all."

Why My Grace Project?

In my last counseling session my therapist challenged me to read and to put into practice the talk from this March's Ensign by Carolyn J. Rasmus titled "The Enabling Power of the Atonment". In this talk Carolyn quoted from a talk Elder David A Bednar gave at BYU back in 2001 which was featured in the April 2012 Ensign. In Elder Bednar's talk he spoke about the enabling power of the Atonement and said: "I believe we can learn much about this vital aspect of the Atonement if we will insert 'enabling and strengthening power' each time we find the word grace in the scriptures."

This what My Grace Project is for. I'm going to be going through all of the scriptures that include the word "grace" and will insert "enabling and strengthening power" in and I will see what I have to learn about this enabling power of the Atonement.

Please take the time to read both of these articles and take the time to really ponder them and apply their teachings into your life. It will change your life for the better.
