The Secret to Receiving Grace

grace receiving Oct 30, 2025

Welcome to The Laws of Peace, where you will learn how to understand and apply God's laws in simple ways so that you can take small steps to create big changes and miracles and become the person you are always meant to be.

The answers are in the scriptures.

Let me show you how to find them.

Today's episode is called The Secret to Receiving Grace.

This month, we are discussing the law of the divine economy, which basically states that we do our part, we prepare to receive and the Lord gives us grace to do what would be impossible otherwise.

We prepare to receive grace.

And there are three principles that are a part of this law.

The first one we discussed last week, which is faith and taking action.

Today, we'll discuss grace.

And next week, we will discuss the third principle.

So let's dive right in.

We're going to start with the parable of the talents.

This is a famous parable.

Everybody knows it...

Welcome to The Laws of Peace where you will learn how to understand and apply God's laws in simple ways so that you can take small steps to create big changes and miracles and become the person you were always meant to be.

The answers are in the scriptures.

Let me show you how to find them.

Today's episode is called How to Have More Faith, More Freedom, and More Miracles.

This month, we are studying the Law of Sacrifice.

The Law of Sacrifice states that everything has a price and a price must be paid for everything.

Raymond Halliwell, in his book, Working the Law, had this to say about it.

He said, We are sacrificing every day of our lives, whether we want to or not, whether we know it or not.

No matter what we want in life, we will have to give up something in order to get it.

Freedom is not living in obsessed, undisciplined life.

Freedom is being able to control your life and making it what you want it to be.

An undisciplined lif...

Why You Don't Need Self-Confidence

Welcome to The Laws of Peace, where you will learn how to understand and apply God's laws in simple ways, so that you can take small steps to create big changes and miracles and become the person you were always meant to be.

The answers are in the scriptures.

Today's episode is called Why You Don't Need Self-Confidence, What You Can Get Instead.

It's actually a little bit controversial because it's an idea that maybe you haven't considered.

And it kind of goes against what we're taught in the personal development world.

The information that I am sharing with you today comes primarily from M.

Catherine Thomas in her book, Selected Writings.

She also has a BYU speech called The Doer of Our Deeds.

And when she gave it, even back then, it was controversial.

So you can go check it out to get more information about the things that we're sharing.

I want to get started by telling you first, three main reasons why we don't feel lovable or why we ge...

Let me show you how to find them.

Today's episode is called What to Do When God's Plan Feels Stupid.

Maybe that's never happened to you.

It's happened to me.

I want to start with a story.

We're going to start with the story of Naaman from 2nd Kings 5.

Now, remember, Naaman was a leper, and he was a really good guy.

In verse 1 of 2nd Kings 5, it says that he was a mighty man in valor, but he was also a leper, and his wife's maid knew about Jesus and told her about Jesus.

And so he wrote a letter.

He sent this letter to the prophet with lots of money and clothes and everything, and he said, Help me.

And the prophet was a little bit stressed out.

So what happened was Naam...

The Parable of the Ping Pong Balls

Hi, I'm Julie Hawkes.

Welcome to The Laws of Peace, where you will learn how to apply and understand God's laws in simple ways so that you can take small steps to create big changes and miracles and become the person you were always meant to be.

The answers are in the scriptures.

Let me show you how to find them.

Today's episode is called The Parable of the Ping Pong Balls and the Difference Grace Makes.

We're going to start with three progressive levels of obedience.

These have to do with our motivation and the reasons why we obey.

All obedience is good.

As we grow in our intentions and as we grow in our abilities, then obedience shifts from becoming transactional to becoming transformational.

We become rather than just do.

That's what we're going to talk about today.

I want to read a quote to you from Elder David A.

Bednar from a talk called Heartfelt and Willing Obedience from Education Week at BYU-Idaho in 2002 and he said, "O...

How Our Thoughts Create Success

Today's episode is called How Thoughts Create success.

We are talking about the law of success.

Years and years and years ago, my husband and I were really struggling financially.

We had three small children, we lived in a teeny tiny little apartment, and we drove a grey van.

I went grocery shopping late at night because I did not want to take my kids because I was already overwhelmed and I just wanted a few moments of peace.

And so one night in the middle of winter, I had come home from grocery shopping and I had just pulled up to and and pulled all of the groceries out of out of the car.

And if you're like me, you just load them all up at once because you don't want to make 2 trips.

So my arms were filled with groceries and I slammed the door shut the side door on the van and the window shattered.

I was devastated.

I immediately thought to myself, how on the earth are we going to pay for this?

I, I had no idea.

And we couldn't go without a window for our van because our c
