Evil spirits are not sent by the Lord, neither can they be for He is all good, there is no evil in Him. Neither does he wish evil upon any person. Evil Spirits can only be the followers of Satan, who were cast out of heaven without gaining a body as we have. It is he who sends out his followers to torment mankind.
AnswerEvil spirits obviously can come from God since The Bible recounts it in 1 Samuel 16.v14 says: 'But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
v15 ....an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
v16 ....when the evil spirit from God is upon thee...
v23... when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul...
The Hebrew from the Masoretic text is clear and unchallenged textually, so that it is not possible to allege that there is some kind of mis-translation or variant reading possible here.
Satan, even though in rebellion against God is still subject to the will of God. This is so since God is almighty, perfect and infinite, whereas Satan is not almighty, neither perfect, nor infinite. Satan is of course powerful, totally evil, and the father of lies who seeks 'to steal and kill and destroy.' The first chapter of Job demonstrates that Satan can only do what he is permitted to do.
The evil spirit sent to Saul was clearly in line with his own rebellious choice in failing to obey God's command. God told Saul through Samuel that 'rebellion is as the sin of withcraft.' 1 Samuel 15:23. Such rebellion Saul had indeed practiced, inviting satanic interference in his life. This is usually the way with people - they invite Satan to have a part in their lives, either unwittingly or deliberately. God, in the case of Saul and others does not prevent nor thwart man's will, although He is nonetheless offended that people turn away from Him, the fountain of living water.

Who created evil spirits?
Good question. Depends on how you look at it. I think that God created all the spirits, and that he also gave them choices... some of them chose to be evil. I don't think that any spirit was created evil. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 1 Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 18:10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 1 Samuel 19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
Did God create evil to fight in heaven?
One Answer:No, what God created was all good (Genesis 1:31 / Deuteronomy 32:4 ). Evil began when an angel chose to turn away from God, and spread it's influence to others. (Ezekiel 28:11-19 here the King of Tyre is likened to this wicked angel Revelation 12:7-9)) . Soon God will eliminate evil entirely .(1 John 3:8)(Revelation 21:3-5)----------------Another view:God did create evil...read it direct form the bible itself >God Creates Evil And Peace"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7) Here it explicitly states that God creates evil as well as makes peace!!!Evil From God"Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?" (Lamentations 3: 38-39) Here we have the little known verse that plainly asserts that evil as well as good comes from the mouth of God!The Evil Spirit Of The Lord, 1"And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him." (I Samuel 16:23) Here it specifically describes an evil spirit from God!The Evil Spirit Of The Lord, 2"And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand." (I Samuel 19:9) Consider that many modern Judeo-Christians consider God the opposite of evil, yet here we have, again, the clear Biblical wording of evil coming from the LORD!!
