Stress At Work (Tips to Reduce and Manage Job and Workplace Stress)Jodie Harper
While some workplace stress is normal, excessive stress can interfere with your productivity and impact your physical and emotional health. You can’t control everything in your work environment, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless—even when you’re stuck in a difficult situation. Finding ways to manage workplace stress isn’t about making huge changes or rethinking career ambitions, but rather about focusing on the one thing that’s always within your control: YOU.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

16. Understanding the 12 powers
Charles Fillmore, Unity's co-founder along with his wife Myrtle, was a visionary and a futurist, as well
as many other things. He wrote, "The subconscious realm in man has twelve great centers of
action, with twelve presiding egos or identities." One of Charles' major contributions to New
Thought was his unique development of metaphysical Bible interpretation.
To understand the twelve powers, you have to know that they are twelve expressions of the one
Power, the Christ within each of us. The twelve powers are: faith, strength, wisdom (judgment),
love, power, imagination, understanding, will, order, zeal, renunciation, and life.
What is meant by "the Christ" is "the fully awakened human being," the same as the Buddha-Mind or
the higher self, in the indwelling Lord, Shiva, the Altman, to use words from a number of traditions.
It is the state of consciousness within us that is completely one with God. Jesus, the man from
Galilee, born in Bethlehem, realized his true spiritual nature and became the Christ. He became
our Way Shower, showing us the way for each to know our Christ nature and to fully realize it.
Fillmore also saw the twelve disciples of Jesus as symbolically representing each of these twelve
pathways, these twelve powers of the Christ. He believed that each disciple manifested one
aspect of the Christ more perfectly than any other and connected that power to that disciple. Peter
became Faith, James became Wisdom and Discrimination, John Love, Andrew Strength, and so
on.
