Day One Bonus Day: I celebrate myself!

Many years ago Charles Fillmore wrote a book called The Twelve Powers. In it, he discussed 12 spiritual powers or qualities within each one of us. These spiritual powers describe the qualities of your Higher Consciousness; your awareness of God dwelling in you, as you. There are other names as well – Christ Consciousness, Christ Mind, Buddha-nature, Unitive Consciousness. But no matter what you call it, it is what you really are.

Day Two: Your Divine Power of Faith

In Hebrews 11:1 we read, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” What a wonderful definition of the word “faith!” It tell us that by using our Power of Faith and the ideas that come to us from God, we can create what we hope for. All of us want to be free from pain. All of us want to be loved. All of us want to live a life of abundance. We have been given the spiritual Power of Faith as a tool for us to use in this human experience. It is part of our infinite potential as children of God…

Day Three: Your Divine Power of Strength

When we think of strength, we may think of what it means to be strong physically. We take care of our bodies so that they will be strong and healthy.

There is another kind of strength – a spiritual strength – that we have as part of our divine potential. This “soul strength” is aligned with courage. The word “courage” comes from a French word, “coeur ” meaning “heart.” Our Divine Power of Strength gives us the heart we need to be and to do everything else…

I have a friend who begins each day by reading I Corinthians 13 with his wife. The two of them began this practice even before they were married, for they have found that it keeps their marriage strong and their love for one another alive.

Day Six: Your Divine Power of Mastery

“Man is the power of God in action.” -Charles Fillmore

I like this quote very much, for it reminds us that we are the expressions of God and of God’s power, God’s ideas, God’s intelligence and God’s love. This is why we are here….to access our Divine Powers and to bring them out to create our world and to better this world, just as Jesus did…

Day Seven: Your Divine Power of Imagination

Albert Einstein wrote that “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Day Eight: Your Divine Power of Understanding

Many of us may be familiar with the Bible story of Solomon who, when God asked him what gift to give him, replied that he would like to have an “understanding heart.” God granted him this, and along with this, also “riches and honor.” Later in the story Solomon uses his understanding heart to solve a difficult problem successfully…

Day Nine: Your Divine Power of Will

Your Divine Power of Will is your power to choose. Making good choices is essential to living a harmonious, abundant life. And all of us have made choices that, at the time, seemed good. This is how we grow; we choose, moment to moment. In doing this we learn the difference between making conscious choices and unconscious ones that are not in our best interest…

Day Ten: Your Divine Power of Order

One of my favorite poems is “The Lake of Beauty” by Edward Carpenter. The poem goes on to say that our good comes to us only at its appointed time. In other words, according to the great Loving Divine Order of God. Our creator set in motion in the beginning, a great order that provides for every possibility and for every form of life, including yours…

Day Eleven: Your Divine Power of Enthusiasm

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Yes, enthusiasm is the essential ingredient in anything we undertake. It is our passion and our spirit poured into it.

Day Twelve: Your Divine Power of Letting Go

There is a pop song called “Bruises” by the band Train that came out in late 2012. “Everybody loses. We all got bruises.” So true! In this human life experience, all of us have been hurt by people and situations and these hurts have left bruises on our hearts….

Day Thirteen: Your Divine Power of Life

There’s an African proverb that states, “The body of a man (or woman) is very small compared with the Spirit that inhabits it.” The Spirit that inhabits your body and mine is the Only Spirit – the One Spirit of Life that we call by the name of God. God Is Life and this Life is the life of all creation, for each of us are Its forms, Its children, Its temples…
