March 26, 2023 - "The Overcomer"
As defined by Charles Fillmore, an overcomer is one who recognizes the Truth of his being and is renewing his mind and body and affairs. It is one who is changing his thoughts from the old mortal beliefs to the new as he sees them in Divine Mind. He demonstrates the divine law, not only in surface life but in innermost consciousness. Spiritual power, mastery, and dominion are attained by the overcomer. It says in Revelation 3:21, "To the overcomer I will give a place
with me on my throne."
