When can FREE WILL be violated?

When does a closer encounter with Christ violate our FREE WILL? What if we are in harms way, then can God violate our free will, or is He NEVER allowed to violate our free will? Is there an order to life that would allow God to intervene when needed? Maybe God sees life like a bowl of oatmeal, with the fruit, oats, and milk are all mixed together, whereas humans tend to see things as separate just like cereal in milk? It's like these trees, we see them everyday, but do we realize their full potential? The most important thing that the trees do is give us our oxygen; they take in CO2 and give back the O2. Trees also help to lower noise pollution, they take in water during floods, and they add beauty to the landscape. Look at a river and the way it flows; is God allowed to change the flow of a river if He does not like the flow during flood season? So, did God set these things into motion with order, with the ability to interact with this order? Does this same acting with others apply to our lives? If yes, then why are there Christians who throw Bibles at non-believers? If we cannot violate free will, then what do we do to reach and disciple the Lost?
What is free will and when is God allowed to violate it?
