Do remember that Gandulf's magic are connected to his staff, and Yoda's power in the force would easily allow him to remove said staff and render Gandulf spell-less. Remember when the Witch King destroyed Gandulf's staff? Gandulf wasn't able to cast any of his super powerful spells. He had to rely on his sword and Shadowfax (WHY THE F--K IS HE WHITE?). The results can be mimicked by just plain removing the staff. Gandulf will still be able to cast some spells but none of the super spells.

Also, God? God? I think you're stretching it. He is powerful as hell but he isn't THAT powerful.
