When you’re walking in that revelation you don’t have any reason to fear. You’re confident that God is for you, therefore nothing can stand against you. What’s more, because you know God has your back and He’ll see to it that you’re BLESSED, you can practice extending His love to others. You can slam the door shut on the devil in every situation by staying in faith and keeping yourself in the love of God (Jude 1:21).
“But Brother Copeland, I’ve tried that. I’ve bent over backward to walk in love toward the people in my life and some of them don’t even respond!”
It doesn’t matter whether they respond or not. That’s not any of your business. Your business is to keep drawing by faith on the love of God that’s been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5) and continue to express it. Your responsibility is to love them on purpose, all the time, and practice love at every opportunity.
For better or for worse, whatever you practice becomes automatic. I found out from experience that if you practice anger, for instance, you’ll get so developed in it you’ll get mad at everything. Your pencil will break, and you’ll throw it across the room.
If you practice love, on the other hand, you’ll develop in it to the point where love just takes over everything. You’ll be walking around all the time looking for opportunities to BLESS people and be kind to them, not because you feel certain emotions or because they’ve been good to you, but because it’s become automatic for you to walk in the God kind of love.
Talk about a powerful way to live! When you make love your lifestyle, you can triumph in every situation, because “faith…worketh by love” and “overcometh the world” (Galatians 5:6; 1 John 5:4).
By the same token, when you violate the law of love, the spirit of fear moves in. And since all unbelief comes from fear, your faith falters. You don’t have to just stand there and let it happen though. You can stop the moment you miss it and repent. If you say something ugly to someone, you can immediately ask that person to forgive you and get right back on your love walk.
Gloria and I have practiced this with one another for years. But to tell the whole truth about it, she hasn’t had to do nearly as much repenting as I have. She’s always been quiet and loving. Even when I was at my worst, she never would fuss with me.
