CHAPTER SEVEN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE Romans 5:5b 5...because THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS(SPIRITS) BY THE HOLY GHOST which is given unto us. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us THE SPIRIT of fear; but of power, and OF LOVE, and of a sound mind. One of the reasons love is rarely practiced as it should be is the lack of understanding. The believer needs to understand and be equipped to walk in love. Love is the spirit of victory and triumph.
