Who are we as Christians to take authority over?
Eph 6:10-17 (NIV) ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on
the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to
stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with
the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with
the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from
the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up
the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take
the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

God has passed some will unto us... no?
Also, I think things happen because of careless accidents of mankind and sometimes from greed or purposeful sin of mankind because of monies... for examples....
First example -- Love Canal Tragedy, Niagara Falls, New York
Toxic chemicals from leaky drums fill up the backyards of people's homes where their children played. People are becoming sick and mother's give birth to children with birth defects from serious toxic chemical poisoning in their own backyard.
Was this God's will? Or man's?
Second example: Some birth defects happen by accident from pregnant mothers of the past because of taking a prescription medication prescribed by regular everyday physicians. The drugs produce birth defects.
Was this God's will? Or man's?
