Alma 46:9


Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of men.

One wicked man gains power only when we give it to him.  This we learn from history. When we become complacent and turn over responsibility for our lives to someone else, we abrogate our agency. The only person we can trust with our agency is God. Everyone else will misuse it for their own gain. Thus, the way to stop a wicked person from getting control is to refuse to give it to him, be it political, financial, emotional or spiritual.
