What if I told you that God is not in control? Too many members within the body of Christ think and say that God is in control. Being 'in control' means that a person actually makes people act against their will whether by domination, restraint, or force. That line of thinking and speaking contradicts His character and His word though.
He gave all people dominion over the whole earth including the creatures and land (See Genesis 1:26). Therefore, He put all people in charge so to speak. He also gave every person a choice or "free will" dating way back to the Garden of Eden, when both Adam and Eve chose to sin against Almighty God --- the Creator of the universe (Read Genesis 1-3).
Of course, He uses every person's "free will" or choices altogether for His purpose in the earth. It's known as His sovereignty which is totally different than Him being in control of everyone and everything. His children are led by His spirit within them (See Romans 8:14). As they surrender, submit, obey Him; He uses them and their choices according to His will for them. And, we know that all things work for the good of those who love Him which are called according to His purpose (See Romans 8:28).
