What would you call someone who creates vast galaxies, thousands of varieties of living creatures, and maps out plans that span across millennia? God is BIG! His power is BIG! His love is BIG! His mercy is BIG! His patience is BIG! His joy is BIG! His thoughts are BIG! And His plans are …yep – BIG! Even God’s problems are BIG! Not opening blind eyes, walking on water, resisting the devil, or even raising the dead. These are trivial matters to an all-powerful God. The biggest problem Jesus dealt with throughout the Gospels is the problem of getting people to believe! “O you of little faith”
The implication here is not that we ask for things that are too big for God – but for things so small and insignificant that they hardly register on His radar screen! God’s idea is a BIG idea. By eliminating the barrier of sin between us, establishing a covenant partnership, and transforming our lives by His power – He intended that we would rise up and do BIG things together with Him! God intended that with our faith and His power – we would together storm the gates of hell, deliver Satan’s captives, revolutionize life on earth and over-populate heaven!
