If you win the Grace of the Lord, even the decree of destiny can be overcome. When a bottle of medicine is purchased, on the label is a date, placed by the manufacturer drug, that indicates its expiration. The drug loses its efficacy beyond that date. Although the drug remains in the bottle, it will no longer be effective. Similarly, the Grace of God can work like an expiration date and make the effects of destiny ineffective.
