Does God Control Everything? | Sovereignty, Free Will & Spiritual Authority Explained on ASKPJ

Mar 5, 2026

What does it really mean that God is sovereign?


Does He control everything?

What about human free will?

And if God is in charge, why do bad things still happen?


In this episode of Ask Pastor Jeff, Pastor Jeff answers one of the most common theological questions believers wrestle with: the sovereignty of God. Using Scripture from Psalms, Daniel, Ephesians, Colossians, Genesis, and more, he explains how God rules, reigns, and accomplishes His will in all things — without eliminating human responsibility.


You’ll also hear a powerful biblical response to another common question:

Does praying out loud make the devil flee? Is there power in volume — or in obedience?


This episode will help you:


• Understand what the Bible teaches about God’s sovereignty

• Reconcile free will and divine control

• Find peace when life feels out of control

• Know how to resist the devil biblically

• Grow in confidence in the authority of Jesus


When you realize God is fully sovereign, it humbles you — and it frees you.


If you’ve ever wondered whether God is really in control, this conversation will strengthen your faith and anchor you in truth.
