On a computer, there is a system restore procedure that allows you to clear out everything that is causing stagnation and return it to its original factory setting. This idea was created by someone who has a deep understanding of the relativity of life and the mind. This concept was modeled after the fact that a human being can renew and refresh their mind and return it to its original setting.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. [Psalms 51:12 NIV]

Believe it or not, God originally programmed you for greatness. His spirit of greatness dwells within all human beings. Therefore, our factory setting is originally programmed for a beautiful and abundant life of love, peace, joy, happiness, prosperity and health. Greatness is coded within our DNA and it is who we truly are at the spiritual core.

However, the programming for greatness and total success has been interrupted by outside influences, just like when a computer gets infected by different viruses. These viruses get downloaded into a computer from other programs without the computer user being aware and after a short amount of time it begins to cause the computer to experience problems.

A computer’s original factory installed software program has been infiltrated by an enemy that interrupts it and causes the computer to malfunction (i.e. run slow, and /or some other kind of problem). Sometimes, a virus shuts the computer down completely.

The mind has an original program that is divine in nature and is designed to run the body or cause actions that bring about a joyous, abundantly blessed and fulfilling life. However, because of its spiritual nature, we do not truly understand our software and the viruses in life that are waiting to infect us with data that interferes with our original divine programming.

Our lack of understanding causes our mind to be infected with a virus and the effects are physical illness, financial lack or limitation, lack luster relationships and emotional issues like stress, worry, fear, hopelessness and emptiness, etc. Many are unconscious of these viruses and are content or complacent with them as being an accepted normal way of life.

A virus that has unconsciously gotten into your mind is possibly causing restricted or limited success in several areas of your life. Therefore, if you are experiencing stress or lack of fulfillment in any area, it is time for you to refresh and restore your mind so that it will eliminate the virus; refreshing means doing the inner work that removes a virus and causes renewal, transformation and restoration of your original divine programming.

Therefore, the beginning of a New Year represents a time to refresh and renew your mind to purge and rid yourself of the viruses that have gotten into your mind and disrupted your divine programming from running your life base upon an abundant blessing and fulfilling you with joy. When your divine programming is restored, this is who you truly are and there is nothing separating or restricting the flow of the Holy Spirit from leading and guiding you to heaven on earth.
