You Have The Power:
Did you know that you have within you a supply of untapped spiritual potential? Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore identified a way to access that vital energy by calling forth 12 innate spiritual abilities (or powers) that are "expressions of the One Power, the Christ within each of us."
    The Power for December is 'Life' - the ability to energize, vitalize, enliven, animate and invigorate.  Affirm: I am filled with life, sweet life.

​Charles Fillmore's classic book The Twelve Powers is available in our bookstore.
