Due to the extreme importance of just this one topic, I am going to go ahead and do an entire article on this topic.
This major revelation from our Lord has been talked about several times in our other articles, but do to all of the new people coming to our site and scrolling down the list of articles to find what they want to read, this particular revelation that we have received from the Lord has to have its own article to do it proper justice.
Not only must you have a full understanding of this major revelation from the Lord, but this revelation has to be believed on, grounded on and acted on if you want to be able make it through this life in one piece and fully accomplish all of God's perfect will and plan for your life.
To really get this incredible revelation burned into your memory banks so that you never forget it, especially when you find yourself going through some of the trials and tribulations that can occur at a moment's notice in this life - I am going to give you a very good analogy the Lord gave me several years ago that will perfectly describe what we will get in this revelation that we have received from Him through His Word.
This analogy is what I call the "Car Analogy." When you buy a brand new car, you will get 4 things with the car that will enable you to properly use the car for what it was originally designed for.
Visualize these 4 components as I describe them to you and lock them into your memory banks, as I will then show you how these 4 factors will perfectly line up with how God will fully support you as you journey through this life.
Here are the 4 key components that you will get with every car that you buy in our day and age.
Every car that you buy will have body panels that will surround the entire car. These body panels will serve to protect you if you are ever struck by another car.
We all know how fatal motorcycles accidents can be as compared to accidents involving cars. Motorcycles do not have the outside physical protection surrounding them as cars do. Motorcycles are thus subject to being involved in many more serious accidents as a result of not having the kind of physical protection that a normal car has on it.
The second thing that a car will give you is support - and that support is in the 4 tires that will come with every car. If a car does not have the 4 tires on it to properly support itself, you will never be able to move and get out of the driveway, much less ever be able to get it to move forward so that you can get to where you want to go with it.
And not only must these 4 tires be supporting you so that you can drive the car forward, but these four tires must also be kept properly inflated. If they are not and you end up getting a flat tire as you are driving on the roadway, your whole vehicle will be completely shut down until you are able to fix that flat tire.
The third thing that you will need to be able to properly drive and operate the car is power. You can have the 4 tires properly supporting you and all of the body panels properly protecting you, but if the car does not have the power to be able to propel itself forward, then you will never be able to start the car, much less ever be able to get it to move forward to move out of the driveway.
The power of the car is obviously in the engine and all of its components. If some of those engine parts will not work or if any of them ever break down, the whole engine will completely shut down, thus making the car totally inoperable.
The last and final thing that you will need to be able to properly operate the car is a guidance system - and that guidance system is given to you in the steering wheel and its column.
You can have all of the protection of the body panels, all of the support of the 4 tires, and all of the power in the engine to take you wherever you want to go - but if you do not have the steering wheel to safely guide you so that you can either turn right or left, the car will be totally useless to you - as all you will be able to do with it is to drive forward and hit the first thing that will come directly in your path.
As you will see when I give you the Scripture verses in the next caption, we have all four of these components in the divine support that we can receive from the Lord.
Again, here are the four components of this car analogy in a bullet point format. Visualize these 4 components and lock them into your memory banks, as this picture and revelation will help keep your chin up and your faith levels up if you are ever forced to face any type of trials or tribulations in this life.
As you will see in the Scripture verses below, you will have to have all four of these things in full operation with the Lord in order for this piece of revelation to be able to work in your own personal life and walk with Him.
If God will protect you, but He doesn't properly support you, you will never make it out of the driveway, as your walk with the Lord will completely crumble and shut down in the same way a ship will sink if it gets a major leak in its support structures. In that support you will receive from the Lord will be all of the money, supplies, favor, friends and windows of opportunities that you will need in order to be able to make it into the next levels of service for Him. No support - no promotions!
If God will protect you and support you, but He doesn't give you His power and anointing to be very good at whatever He will be calling you to do for Him - then you will not be able to properly function and max out for Him in that call - and you will thus never be able to fully accomplish everything that He will want you to accomplish for Him in that call.
If God will support you, protect you and anoint you with His power, but He does not properly guide you - then you will never be able to get to where you are supposed to be going for Him and you will thus never be able to fully accomplish everything that He will want you to accomplish for Him in this life. You will thus end up going down one dead end road after another, with no positive fruit and results ever occurring in your life.
As you can see with this car analogy, you have to have all 4 of these factors in full play and operation with the Lord if you want to have any kind of chance of being able to complete His perfect plan and destiny for your life.
Though some of these verses have already been talked about in some of our other articles, I am going to go ahead and re-state some of them once again under the these 4 factors so that you can have them right at your fingertips as you are reading this article.
Before I get into the verses, one more reminder. You will only be able to receive all four of these factors in your divine support from the Lord only if you are walking in a full surrender with Him. This full surrender has been fully discussed in our article titled "The Full Surrender" in the Bible Basics section of our site.
If by chance you have come across this article before reading that one, it would be our strong recommendation that you also read that article - as you will not be able to receive this kind of divine support from the Lord unless you are walking in this full surrender with Him.
As stated in the above car analogy, the first order of business that you will have to have going with the Lord in this divine support that you can receive from Him is to have His divine protection operating in your life.
As a result of many of God's people not walking in this full surrender with Him, they are not receiving His full divine protection. And as a result of not having His full protection operating in their lives, they are getting hammered with one trial after another and are getting absolutely nowhere with their lives.
Attacks from the dark side, and just some of the normal cause and effect things that can occur at a moment's notice in this life, all serve to keep them grounded and broken down - thus causing them to never be able to fully accomplish what God originally had in store for them before they were even born through their mother's womb.
In the Spiritual Warfare section of our site, we have an article titled "Battle Verses of the Bible." In this article are listed 100 of the best battle verses in all of the Bible. These battle verses will all show you how God can supernaturally protect you as you journey through this crazy life.
If you enter into this full surrender with the Lord, and He then enters you into His perfect plan and destiny for your life, but He doesn't divinely protect you along the way, you will never make it to the finish line in one piece, much less ever fully accomplish everything that He will want you to accomplish in that divine destiny for Him.
Bottom line - if you commit to buying a new car, then you will get the full protection of the body panels surrounding that car.
In the same way, if you commit to making a full surrender with the Lord and are willing to submit to His perfect plan and destiny for your life, then you will get His divine protection operating in your life as you start on this new journey with Him.
This is one of the major perks and blessings that you can receive from the Lord as a result of entering into this full surrender with Him - His divine protection operating on you and your entire life!
Here are some of the better verses from the Bible showing how God can supernaturally protect you in this life.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation." (Psalm 91:1-16)
All of these verses are extremely powerful. I believe that all of these verses should be interpreted literally and as such, they need to be believed on, grounded on and acted on in your own personal walk with the Lord.
Again, if you want to get the full scope of exactly how far God can go with you in this realm, read our article titled "Battle Verses of the Bible," as it will give you several other ways that God can protect you in this life.
The next thing that you will need in God's divine support system for your life is His actual support itself. Just as a ship needs the support of its bottom planks to ride the sea and a car needs the support of the 4 tires to be able to drive on the roadways, in the same way you will need God's supernatural support to be able to make it into the calls and directions that He will want to take your life in.
Here are some of the specific things that God can give you that will serve as good support structures for your life with the perfect plan that He will want to set you up in:
Again, all of this can be given to you free of charge if you are willing to enter into this full surrender with the Lord and are willing to fully submit to His perfect plan for your life.
Here are 7 very powerful verses all showing you how God can supernaturally support you in this life.
Notice some of the intense wording that the Lord is using when He says that He will supply all of your needs, not just some or part of your needs - and that you will have an actual abundance and not lack any good thing for every good work that He will set up for you to do for Him in this life. These are very powerful promises being given to us by the Lord through His Word.
The last two verses had to do when God was testing the Israelites in the wilderness for forty years in the story of Moses. Notice that during those trying times that they had "lacked nothing," that their garments "did not wear out" on them, nor did their feet ever swell on them during the course of the entire ordeal.
In other words, God had kept them properly supported during those trying times. And if God properly supported them, then He will also support you since He is no respecter of persons. This dramatic story shows you that God can keep you properly supported through thick and thin and during the most trying of times if you are willing to hold fast to Him and not bail out on Him with what He wants to do with your life.
All of these verses are telling us one thing - and that one thing is that major divine support is available for all of us from the Lord on whatever He will be calling us to do for Him in this life if we are willing to fully surrender to it!
Just as a car needs the power of the engine in order to be able to move itself forward, in the same way you will need God's anointing and power flowing through you in order to become very good at whatever He will be calling you to do for Him.
If God calls you to be an evangelist, doctor, policeman, or an attorney, but does not anoint you with His supernatural power to be very good in those calls, then you will end up being only second best, if even that, and you will end up abnormally straining yourself trying to be very good in those positions and trying to make things work out properly.
However, when God's anointing is properly flowing through you, it will become very easy to do what He wants you to do in these calls. But if you are not flowing in His anointing and you are only trying to make things work out from your own flesh, it will only be a matter of time before you start reaching dead ends in your own personal pursuits and everything ends up coming tumbling down on you.
Whatever God calls you to do for Him in this life - He will make sure to anoint you with His power so that you can become very good at the position that He will be calling you to play on His team. Again, God's anointing can be given to you free of charge if you are willing to enter into this full surrender with Him.
Here are 25 very good verses all showing us that we have the power of the Holy Spirit Himself ready to flow through us so that we can fully accomplish all of the missions that God has in store for us in this life.
If God highly anointed the first set of apostles so that they could embark on the dangerous missions they were called to undertake for Him, then God can do the exact same thing for you since He is no respecter of persons. All of these verses are showing you the incredible supernatural power God can flow through you if you are willing to enter into this fully surrendered power walk with Him.
Last, but certainly not least, is God's guidance system for our lives - and that guidance system is the Holy Spirit Himself.
Just as you will never be able to get to where you want to go with a car without being able to properly steer the car in the right directions, in the same way, you will never be able to make it into the divine calls and opportunities that God has in store for your life if you are not willing to be led by the Holy Spirit on exactly how to get there.
If there is one major thing that gets fully surrendered, Spirit-filled Christians in major trouble with the Lord and the direction that He wants to take their lives in, it has to be their refusal to be led by the Holy Spirit in their daily lives.
I recently had a very solid Christian man, who does very heavy full time ministry work for the Lord, tell me that he has met very few Christians in his life who are truly following the leadings of the Holy Spirit on any kind of regular basis. Most of the Christians he has met and worked with in his field are still walking and working in the flesh rather than trying to walk in the Spirit and follow His specific leadings on a regular-daily basis.
As you will see in the first verse I will list below, the Bible makes it very clear that we have to be led by the Holy Spirit in this life. If you do not, or you are not willing to do so out of direct disobedience to the Lord, then you will never accomplish whatever God's perfect will would have been for your life and your life will then end up being all for naught and a total waste as far as the Lord is concerned when you come to the final end of it.
If God is willing to enter you into His perfect plan for your life, if God is willing to anoint you with His power in order that you can become very successful in that call, and if God is willing to protect you and support you as you embark on that call - but then you refuse to follow the leadings of His Holy Spirit on a daily basis - then sooner or later God will pull back His anointing, His support and His protection on your life - and you will then end up falling all the way down to the bottom of the mountain, possibly never getting another chance to climb that mountain again.
Just as a car needs all four of the above factors in operation in order to be able to drive you and get you to where you want to go with it, in the same way we have to have all of God's guidance, protection, support and power flowing through our lives if we are ever going to be able to leave any kind of personal mark in this world in the divine assignments that He will be calling us to do for Him in this life.
Here are 20 very powerful verses showing us the extreme importance that we learn how to be led by the Lord through the Holy Spirit on a regular-daily basis.
Notice that in every single one of these verses that we are to follow directly after the Lord and His desires for our life. We are not to follow after our own wills, our own desires, or the wills or desires of anyone else in this life. God, and God alone, is the Captain of our ship and the Shepherd of our souls. We are to follow Him and Him alone, no matter how much someone else may try and persuade you otherwise.
Follow God and the path that He has set up for you to follow in this life, and you will enter into true abundant life on this earth. Follow your own path or the paths of what others will want you to take, and your life will eventually end in corruption and death.
Per our article titled "Trials and Tribulations - the Testing of Your Faith," this life can get downright rough, vicious and nasty at times. As I have stated in that article, every single person, including every single born-again Christian, will have to face and engage with a certain amount of trials and tribulations in this life - with absolutely no exceptions to this cold hard fact and reality as a result of the Adamic curse that is still in full operation on this earth.
However, you can either keep a lot of this adversity from ever coming your way in the first place, or you can successfully engage and overcome many of these trials if you are willing to walk in this full surrender with Lord.
With God's full protection, power, support, and guidance operating in your life, many of these storm clouds can either be taken out before they ever attempt to come your way, or they can be totally defeated and overcome if God wants you to take some of these storm clouds head on like He had David do with Goliath.
So the next time you are faced with any kinds of obstacles, difficulties or roadblocks in your life, remember this car analogy.
If you are truly walking in a full surrender with the Lord and you are faithfully following Him on a daily basis - expect God's incredible divine support system by way of His divine protection, power, support and guidance to help keep you afloat, help keep you alive and eventually get you through the trial or difficulty with a complete victory.
