In traditional religions, Jesus is worshipped as God along with God and the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of their trinity is one God that manifests as three persons or forms: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unity’s trinity is metaphysical: Mind, Idea, and Expression or Manifestation. Mind is God. Idea is Jesus and us or humankind as ideas in the mind of God. Expression or Manifestation is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God that breathes things into being and gives them form.
Unity believes in one God, in one form that exists in all of us as the spark of Divinity that we are one with, always connected to. The only separation from God is if we do it with our thoughts. This God is loving, compassionate, and always wants us to be happy. The God that I know doesn’t need to forgive us. We are the ones that need to forgive our selves and others.

Jesus is our brother and wayshower who said, (paraphrasing) greater things than I shall you do also. He taught that humankind has the same abilities that he had. He was a man that demonstrated and fulfilled his 100% potential becoming one with God and ascended into heaven. He left a blueprint of steps to follow in the New Testament with his teachings and healings.
The Holy Spirit is the breath and spirit of God, therefore infinite. “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22). As mentioned above brings thing into Being, the breath of life.
As one moves along in their spiritual journey and life in general, challenges occur. It could be a medical health challenge, an addictive behavior, fears of our own making, overwhelmed by world events or politics…etc. In the following quote it has been proven again and again, that the power in saying the name “Jesus Christ” can give you more energy than a candy bar if you are fatigued or dispel fear when it feels futile.
“You can do everything when “Christ Jesus” is your chief word. By and by the world will not seem heavy to you. You will not be Atlas with the world on his shoulders but Jesus with the world under His feet. Your whole business in life is to “learn of Me,” or to learn how to let the Jesus Christ thought within you reign supreme. This thought that names Jesus Christ is the noblest thought within your mind. Let us keep saying “I AM Jesus Christ.” Tennyson kept repeating his own name till he felt as big as the planet. Some mystics kept repeating certain syllables, but Jesus Christ said, “Repeat My Name.” Then you will not feel as if you were the planet, but as if the world were under your feet. You will not become sense-less, like the mystics who repeat senseless syllables, by speaking My Name, but will come into your inheritance of health, wisdom, and success.” p. 192, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Twelve Studies in High Mysticism
“Emma Curtis Hopkins is essentially saying that Jesus is far more than a teacher or wayshower. She is declaring that there is actual power in declaring “the name Jesus Christ.” She acknowledges that “quite great things” may be accomplished speaking “the name Spirit” but doing so will not have the same effect on health and strength as speaking “the name Jesus Christ.” “ Mark Hicks, TruthUnity.net
The same power that surged through Jesus, surges through us. The Holy Spirit that helps us create things into being. It is the only authority that Jesus acknowledged and taught to his disciples. I have experienced it as heat in the palms of my hands when I am doing healing touch sometimes. When I surrender and let myself be the instrument of this power that is moving through me to another. One also doesn’t have to touch the person.
In using the name Jesus Christ, it doesn’t need be spoken out loud to be effective. I will create affirmations and prayers, which are really one and the same, that begin with: In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Get thee gone! I did this when I had poison ivy starting on my arm. I learned that it was all about how much power you allow something to have over you.
