There are scriptures in the above post, and, of course, others in the Bible, that indicate clearly that God uses His knowledge to affect the affairs of men.

There are certainly times when God imposes His will over human will.

Isaiah 46:9-10 [9] Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. [10] I make known the end from the begin- ning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Notice the order God gives: He knows the end from the beginning. Why does He state it that way? Maybe because He's making the point that nothing He's done or purposed has been contingent upon our actions.
