Proverbs 23:26(KJV) "My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways." The turning point of battle is when a person gives his/her heart to Jesus Christ to cleanse it with his precious blood(Rev.1:5) and then make it his palace, and his throne as person's King. Without this cleansing and conversion,the human heart outside grace of God is naturally vulnerable to attack and effect of 'viruses'(Jer.17:9).

Eph.4:27(NIV) "and do not give devil a foothold." God's 'anti-virus software' is very practical in handling any kind of 'virus'. Firstly God offers himself as shield('the personal firewall') of every person in Christ-Gen.15:1;Psalm 3:3. Secondly,in Lord God every follower of Christ has responsibility to allow in his/her heart peace of God to rule(Col.3:15),and word of Christ to dwell(Col.3:16). Thirdly,being strong in Lord and power of his might(Eph.6:10) each Christian needs to put and keep on armour of God(Eph.6:11-18),and to fight 'viruses' using spiritual weapons(2 Cor.10:3-6) as concisely discussed in an earlier article 'making an impact'

Proverbs 14:30(KJV) "A sound heart is life of flesh: but envy rottenness of bones." Finally,for anyone whose heart/mind seems to be corrupted by these 'viruses' to point of ill-health,God has covenanted himself through Jesus Christ to his people as our healer(2 Peter.2:24). The healing process could seem gradual or sudden. For this process to be effective,one needs to allow God as one's healer to choose and use various agents/agencies. The following should be of help:-

The love,understanding,and prayers of trusted family members and friends(Mark 2:3). Proper,and sound counselling(Prov.11:14). Casting out of demons(evil spirits) if and when their presence and activity are discerned{not speculated}(Mark 1:34).

Moreover,since God is never in a hurry,one should be patient with him and his timing if 'an instant cure' has not been experienced!

2 Tim.1:7(KJV) "For God hath not given us spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

But there is still hope for anyone with a so-called lost or dead or buried or imprisoned destiny! All it takes is a personal encounter with Jesus Christ who is resurrection and life(John 11:25). It is only Jesus Christ who can give life and freedom to real person within these victims so that their originalities are restored and they can fulfill their divine destinies. The first step is to repent of one's sins and receive Jesus Christ as one's personal Lord and Saviour(John 1:12).

When one is in Christ,one has to be Christ-centred as empowered by Spirit of God so as to preserve and demonstrate one's restored originality in conformity not to world system around(Rom.12:1-2) but to Christ within(Rom.8:29)upon throne of one's heart.

For those favoured by God to be mentors or role models for others,the love and fear of God within is only force that restrains one from making latter(proteges) into clones(1Cor.11:1). The proteges should be encouraged to fulfill their own destinies primarily to please their maker(the Lord God) who has entrusted them to mentors. And if one is guilty before God their maker for any kind of manipulation,one should repent now or face divine judgment later(Rev.20:11-12)!

For those who have their destinies restored,God's love and forgiveness should be humbly and graciously extended to those who had wrongfully 'cloned' them(Eph. 4:32)!

Finally,now is right time for anyone to leave fool's paradise and through Lord Jesus Christ enter into one's real divine destiny!!!

Rev. 4:11(KJV) "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
