‘My understanding of “hand over to satan” meant Paul had him disfellowshipped and he was now in the pagan world where satan ruled.  It is a dramatic use of words, that is for sure.’

This is my understanding also.

In fact abuse was so high in 3 different relationships for me (one in particular that is most important) that I had no choice but to cut the people off and have them put in the ‘out’. Within a flash each were.

Regarding one of the three, after months had passed I had to restore the person. As fast as they were put ‘out’ they were restored back in. I had no doubt that these ‘cut off’s’ were necessary.

There’s more power and authority (not the comp kind) that we have that many don’t even know we have, by faith and I’m talking about the real kind, the kind that could cause fear in reaction.

It has been my experience that I have this at my request, but I never take advantage of it, and try to go other routes and only use this when there are no other options.
