. . . The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. — ROMANS 5:5
“I hate my mother-in-law!” a minister’s wife once said to me. “I don’t even know if I’m saved or not, because the Bible says, ‘Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him’” (1 John 3:15).
I knew this woman was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. But I also knew that she was letting the devil dominate her through her mind and flesh.
So I said, “Look me in the eye and say out loud, ‘I hate my mother-inlaw.’ As you’re saying this, check up on the inside of you — because the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts, not our heads — and tell me what is happening.”
She did what I had asked and said, surprised, “Something is ‘scratching’ me down in my spirit!”
“Yes, something on the inside of you is trying to get your attention,” I told her. “The love of God in your spirit wants to dominate you, but you are allowing your mind — where those thoughts have built up — to dominate you. In your heart, you actually love everyone.”
“Yes, I do,” she agreed. “What shall I do now?”
“Act in love. And let your heart dominate you — not your head.”
Confession: I let the love of God shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit dominate me.
