A Big Devil and a Little God

A Big Devil and a Little God By Don Gossett

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.

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 John. 2; Psalm 27:1; 2 Timothy 1:7; Philippians 4:19; and 2 Corinthians 2:14.

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

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

Both the saint and the sinner have troubles. The big difference is: “The way of transgressors is hard” (Proverbs 13:15) and “many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). Both the saved and the unsaved have hard places, troubles and afflictions. But the unsaved have no deliverer; the righteous have a wonderful deliverer!

Affirm these truths: “Greater is he that is in [me], than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). “Behold, [God] give[s] unto [me] power…over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt [me]” (Luke 10:19). “In [Jesus’] name shall [I] cast out devils” (Mark 16:17).

Don’t allow Satan to “brainwash” you into believing in his subtle supremacy. He is a thief who comes “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy,” but Jesus has come that you “might have life, and [you] might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Believe in this big God of abundance—abundance of everything!

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

Image
A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
