How Do You Reconcile God’s Command Over Demons with His Allowance of Evil?

Description

In light of the fact that God is sometimes said to have sent an evil spirit to do something, how much agency do demons have? How can they be both evil and under God’s command?

Greg and Amy explain how demons can have agency while still remaining under God’s authority. Demons act according to their own evil intentions, but God can use their actions to accomplish his good purposes.
