Romans 15:15

"Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER that is given to me of God."

Romans 12:6

"Having then gifts differing according to the ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith."

"And if by ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER, then is it no more of works: otherwise ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER is no more ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER. But if it be of works, then is it no more ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER: otherwise work is no more work."

Romans 6:15

"What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER? God forbid."

Romans 5:17

"For if one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."

Romans 4:16

"Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seen; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all."

Romans 3:24

"Being justified freely by his ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

Romans 1:5

"By whom we have received ENABLING AND STRENGTHENING POWER and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name."

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.
