God Will Support You
ue 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.
1. Protection
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.
2. Support
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.
3. Power
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.
4. Guidance
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.
- Protection
- Power
- Support
- Guidance
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.
Scripture Verses
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.
1. Protection
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.
- "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his
household, and around all that he has on every side?"
(Job 1:10)
- "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

- "I will lift up my eyes to the hills - from whence
comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven
and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who

keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The
sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall
preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out
and your coming in from this time forth, and even
forevermore." (Psalm 121:1)
- "... Deliver me speedily; be my rock of refuge, a
fortress of defense to save me. For You are my rock and my

commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of
truth." (Psalm 31:2)
- "Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up
for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those

pavilion from the strife of tongues." (Psalm 31:19)
- "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I
fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I
be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my
flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though
an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
though war should rise against me, in this I will be
confident." (Psalm 27:1)
- "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can
man do to me? The Lord is for me among those who help
me; therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in
man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put
confidence in princes. All nations surrounded me, but in
the name of the Lord I will destroy them." (Psalm
118:6)
- "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
(Romans 8:31)

(Psalm 46:1,5)
- "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God
(I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I
will not fear. What can flesh do to me? ... In God I have
put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to
me?" (Psalm 56: 3,11)
- "When they went from one nation to another, from one
kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them
wrong; Yes, He reproved kings for their sakes, saying

- "For the Lord God will help me; therefore I will not
be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I will not be ashamed. He is near who
justifies me; who will contend with me? Let us stand
together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near me. Surely
the Lord God will help me; who is he who will condemn me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment; the moth will
eat them up." (Isaiah 50:7)
- "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains
surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from
this time forth and forever." (Psalm 125:1)
- "Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of
His praise to be heard, who keeps your soul among the

- "Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs
I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will
carry, and will deliver you." (Isaiah 46:4)
-
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I
will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in Him I will trust. Surely He shall deliver
you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous
pestilence. He shall cover you with His feather, and
under His wings you shall take refugee; His truth
shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be
afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that
flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in
darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at
noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten
thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near
you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the
reward of the wicked.
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.
2. Support
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:
- All of the money you will need to be able to survive
and function in this life
- All of the friends you will need to share the walk
with
- Marriage and/or children if it is God's perfect will
that you get married in this life
- All of the housing, supplies, equipment and
materials you will need
- Doors supernaturally opening up for you when the
time is right for your next promotion
- All of the favor you will need with others in order
to be promoted to the next levels of service
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.
- "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to
the power that works in us." (Ephesians 3:20)
- "And my God shall supply all your need according
to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians
4:19)
- "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you,
that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have
an abundance for every good work. (2 Corinthians
9:8-11)
- "But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good
thing." (Psalm 34:11)
- "The Lord will give grace and glory; no good
thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."
(Psalm 84:11)
- "These forty years the Lord your God has been with
you; you have lacked nothing." (Deuteronomy 2:7)
- "Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your
feet swell these forty years." (Deuteronomy 8:4)
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!
3. Power
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.
- "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the

Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of

- "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and
every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
Lord, and their righteousness is from me," says the
Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
- "Through You we will push down our enemies; through
Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.
For I will not trust in my bow, nor shall my sword save me.
But You have saved us from our enemies, and have put to
shame those who hated us. In God we boast all day long, and
praise Your name forever." (Psalm 44:5)

the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those
whose heart is loyal to Him." (2 Chronicles 16:9)
- "... but the people who know their God shall be
strong, and carry out great exploits." (Daniel
11:32)

might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord
of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of

but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit ..." (1
Thessalonians 1:5)
- "For the kingdom of God is not in word but in
power." (1 Corinthians 4:20)
- "... in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of
the Spirit of God ..." (Romans 15:19)
- "Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among
you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and
mighty deeds." (2 Corinthians 12:12)
- "God also bearing witness both with signs and
wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy
Spirit ..." (Hebrews 2:4)
- "And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord
working with them and confirming the word through the
accompanying signs. Amen." (Mark 16:20)
- "And with great power the apostles gave witness to
the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was
upon them all." (Acts 4:33)

abides in you ..." (1 John 2:27)
- "But you have an anointing from the Holy One,
and you know all things." (1 John 2:20)

and signs were done through the apostles." (Acts
2:43)
- "No man shall be able to stand before you all the
days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with
you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of
good courage ..." (Joshua 1:5)
- "Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands
for war, and my fingers for battle - my loving kindness
and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield
and the One in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people
under me." (Psalm 144:1)
- "For You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord shall enlighten
my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; by my
God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is
perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to
all who trust in Him." (2 Samuel 22:29)
- "It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my
way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and
sets me on high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so
that my arms can bend a bow of bronze ... I have
pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn
back again till they were destroyed. I have wounded them,
so that they were not able to rise; they have fallen under
my feet. For You have armed me with strength for the
battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up
against me." (Psalm 18:32,37)
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.
4. Guidance
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.
- "For as many are led by the Spirit of God, these
are the sons of God." (Romans 8:14)
- "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord
..." (Psalm 37:23)
- "O Lord, I know the way of a man is not in himself;
it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps."
(Jeremiah 10:23)
- "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its
end is the way of death." (Proverbs 14:12)

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.
Conclusion
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.
