God not only reigns down judgement on bad people He also disciplines His followers. I thought I heard Hagan reference the idiom of permission but I could be wrong. If this idiom of permission were true how would you ever  know if the Bible writer  actually meant that God caused the judgement? An example 

Genesis 6: 17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Suppose God was trying to say that yes he really did it not satan how could he tell us that if there is an idiom of permission? Why would satan destroy all the wickedness that he was promoting?

Kenneth Hagan Ministries in Tulsa teaches the idiom of permission too, but personally I am not buying it. If God is good then "good" will sometimes mean He reins down judgement on bad people.
