| | | | | Hi Everyone,
Okay, so, we are about a week into the New Year and how are those resolutions going? Well, it’s perfectly okay if you have had some stumbles. Remember last week I mentioned that this is going to be my year of solutions. So, I made no resolutions just decided to keep my mind open to solutions instead of focusing on problems. I am happy to report that I have completed three sessions of physical therapy for my hip and am seeing positive results. So, I was happy to read today’s Daily Word reading which reminded me of my power! The affirmation reads, “I am filled with the power of Spirit, and I use my power for good.” The reading goes on to remind me that Jesus taught us that the power to rise above any challenges comes from within. God is my Source and all of my divine powers come from Him through the Christ within me.
This tells me that if I want to change anything in my life, I must start with me. Darn! It is so much easier to look at others and think they must change! But the truth—with both a capital T and a small t—is that I am ultimately responsible for my life. After I get passed the “ugh” idea of responsibility (I am a child of the sixties and seventies after all and we were not big on responsibility) I realize that this is so empowering! I am filled with those twelve powers and I can call on my divine strength, wisdom, life, and zeal at any time to carry me through. I am also able to call on my power to love to heal discord in my life and divine order to bring my thinking and surroundings out of chaos. I can use my imagination to visualize the good I want to see in my life and the power of elimination to deny any limitations. Faith, understanding, and will can propel me forward when I feel paralyzed and unable to continue with whatever journey I have chosen.
Of course, Charles Fillmore wrote an entire book on these powers called The Twelve Powers. In the first chapter, he explains where each power is centered in the body and how it influences our bodies and our souls. However, Fillmore also states in the last paragraph of the first chapter that we “must in all of the bringing forth of the twelve powers of man, realize that they come from God.” I see the recognition of these powers given by God to us through the teachings of the Bible as the pathway to a dynamic and abundant life. We can live this abundant vital life by daring to discover our spiritual identity, our empowerment on both a personal and universal level.
So, stay with me on this journey through the year of solutions! You have the power—all twelve of them!
Our Wings group continues to meet on Zoom every Tuesday at 12:00. We would love to have you join us each week or whenever you can, to give your mind “a metaphysical bath” as the song Resolve to Evolve by Devotion says. I hope to see you there!

Today’s
photos are from my trip to Niagara Falls. When I think of power, I
think of the absolute power that those Falls represent. When I was
present near the Niagara Falls, I heard, saw, smelled, tasted, and felt
their awesome power! |
