The spirit of God dominates and controls.

In this material world of ours, the spirit of God dominates and controls. 

And although there may be those who refuse to recognise its guidance in their lives, even they—when they are free from the body—will look back and see that in spite of their destructive thoughts—in spite of their most destructive actions—the spirit—if not able to hold its own—yet still controlled many of the events of their earthly experience.
