EXPEL THE WICKED by Robert Soto

I Corinthians 5:13 "God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."

Sometimes we have to stop and admit that there are things coming our way that are beyond us. We look at the things that come and we try to find an earthly solution but in the end we must confess that we are powerless and in need of help from a higher power - God the Creator. The Devil knows what can bring us down. The Devil knows our fears. The Devil knows how you will react when things do not go your way. He is not all-knowing, but he is a good observer. He looks at your life and can manipulate situations and circumstances to distract you and cause you to start to doubt. He knows how to motivate our hearts and emotions to bring bad to others. He knows how to make a simple misunderstanding and blow it up to be the worst thing that ever happened.

He is also good at pitting people against people. He knows how to use a person to do the dirty work for him and bring bad and destruction to another. So how do we handle such a situation when it seems to be out of our hands? The solution is simple, yet difficult. It is simple because God the Creator has given us principles to follow so that we can have the victory. But it is difficult because you must admit you cannot handle the situation yourself, and you must let Him do the fighting for you. Because at the end, all who do evil to others will have to give an account to God the Creator. Paul wrote, "God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." So for those who do evil to me, I just hand them over to God the Creator and He will take care of them for me.
