Do you have your real-life examples related to God's grace?

Ellis Lucas Here is another one, Sanjay. An amazing awakening in Aubra Dawn's life.

Letter from Aubra Dawn

Dear Ellis, I'm almost done with your book and this prayer is exactly what the Father left on my heart thus far. Psalm 37:3-5 I read on your page weeks ago and am seeking it's individual meaning in my personal life, and He answered me through your testimony.

THE LORD WANTS MORE FOR ME THAN TO JUST CROSSING THE JORDAN. HE WANTS ME TO POSSESS MY PROMISED INHERITANCE AND LIVE MY PROMISED LIFE!!!!

Ellis, I am stoked about Christ Jesus revealing this to me but as you know all too well I am scared too. Please pray for me and my deeper walk with Christ. My faith and trust in God have been getting some cardio lately and I feel Him preparing me for a marathon that I never want to stop running! Just like in your book before you switched jobs you felt a big change coming. So have I the last year but heavily since the beginning of 2016 and not only did I get laid off from perfect employment of 4 years, He has provided for every single need for my children and just like He said He would and my doorway to my promise land is within grasp. I NEED PRAYER FOR FAITH Ellis please!!

I've always believed the infamous lie from Satan that a little feels amazing cause it's better than nothing but God wants me to have it all so I'm scared that I don't have what it takes and that I can't do it and I'll let God down. OK almost 4 in the morning and God (literally) only knows how long this message is cause I'm on fire for Him and I'm just typing away and it's 4 a.m. and I'm super tired so I'll stop repeating myself and hit post. I'm not even gonna proofread!

Morning Prayer – I know the Plans I Have for You says the Lord
“Dear Gracious, Omniscience, and Compassionate Heavenly Father,

“Father, as I sit here this morning contemplating the day ahead, I freely acknowledge my need for strength and understanding. The trials and difficulties that surround us seem at times to take up so much of our thoughts and prayers. So Father, I ask that You would give me a deeper understanding to know how and what to pray and that Your word would speak wisdom and discernment into my heart and mind!”

“David recorded this promise in Psalm 37:3-5: “Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass!”

“Your instructions for us are to commit our ways to the Lord, a life decision to follow Jesus Christ no matter what the cost and no matter who approves or disapproves of that decision. Next, You instruct us to trust Your plan throughout all the various seasons of life to include joy and pain, countless trials and difficult circumstances, and to not think it strange concerning the fiery trials which are to try us as though some strange thing happened to us; but rejoice to the extent that we partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, we may also be glad with exceeding joy (1 Peter 4:12-13)!”

“Paul reminded us that as Your children, to truly know and experience Your plan for our lives will result in us knowing the power of Your resurrection but also knowing the fellowship in Your sufferings (Philippians 3:10). He also said to not cast away our confidence, which has great reward. Your word says we have need of endurance, so that after we have done Your will and completed Your plan, we too, may receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35-36)!”

“I believe that all the difficulties and dangers we encounter, the brokenness, loneliness, heartaches and rejection, the sufferings, problems, pain, trials, tribulations, temptations etc…. are all connected to the fulfillment of the plans You have purposed for our lives. I believe it takes all of the above to shape our Christian perspective and prepare us spiritually, emotionally and physically to fulfill Your plan for our lives that prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of Yours for our lives –Romans 12:2!”

“Help us to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith – Hebrews 12:2, relying on His all sufficient strength, mercy and grace knowing that we are Your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which You Yourself prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10). And help us all, dear God, to stand strong in these perilous final days just before Christ glorious return to planet earth without fear, and never forget Who’s in control of the universe and our lives!”

“Thank You Father, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever (Matthew 6:13b)!”

“In Jesus Magnificent Name we pray. Amen!”

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11)!”
