A Big Devil and a little God*

By Don Gossett

1. God is only as big as we allow Him to be in our lives. He will be to us what we believe Him to be. To most people, God is too small.

2. Perhaps you are one who has faith in a big devil and a little God, and your whole life reveals it. You have more faith in sickness than in health; more in weakness than in the Lord's strength; more faith in possessing fear than in God's gift of courage; more faith in lack than in God's supply of your needs; more faith in defeat and failure than in the triumphant life Christ gives. To give you the right faith, read 3 Jn. 2. Ps. 27:1; 2 Ti. 1:7; Ph. 4:19; 2 Cor. 2:14.

3. I challenge you to let God be big in your life. God is limited to your faith. He is "small" in the world as you make Him small. He is big only when you make Hint big by using your divinely given authority.

4. It is important to have the Bible appraisal of the devil and not one of your own making. Have a Bible ‑sized God (and what a wonderful, big God the Bible reveals Him to be) and have a Bible‑sized devil sand how the Bible limits His power toward the believer).

5. Both the saint and the sinner have troubles. The big difference is: "The way of the transgressor is hard" Prov. 13:15); and "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all" Ps. 34:19. Both the saved and the unsaved have hard places, troubles and afflictions. But the unsaved has no deliverer; the righteous has a wonderful deliverer!

6. Affirm these truths: "Greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world" I Jn. 4:4. "Behold, I give unto you power . . . over all the power of the devil: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" Lk. 10:19. "In My Name shall ye cast out devils" Mk. 16:17.

7. Don't allow Satan to "brainwash" you into believing in his subtle supremacy. He is a "thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy," but Jesus has come that you may have "life and that more abundantly" Jn. 10:10. Believe in this big God of abundance . . . abundance of everything!
