You Have The Power:
A supply of untapped spiritual potential lies within us all. 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 February is "Strength."
Qualities - The ability to endure, stay the course, persevere. Affirmation: I have the strength to accomplish all that is mine to do. Disciple represented is Andrew. Color is spring green. Resides in the loins. - Learn more at www.unity.org/12powers - Charles Fillmore's classic book The Twelve Powers is available in our bookstore or at unity.org. - Awaken the 12 Powers in You with a boxed-set of 48 Power Cards available from Unity Books. - Order from unity.org/powercards LENT - Feb. 17 - April 4 (Easter)
In Unity we use this season to deny out-of-consciousness old error thoughts, as if we are gently sweeping away cobwebs, and affirm positively and fearlessly that we are all children of God. Look for daily Lenten affirmations on our Facebook page, brought to you by Licensed Unity Teacher Carla Palmer. Connect to Facebook Limited Re-openings of the church:
