God has not given free will to human beings regarding things above, namely making ourselves spiritual alive to the LORD. In this matter, we don't choose God, instead we are chosen by God. God gives us spiritual eyes and faith to see and believe His truth. In matters below, such as daily living decisions, God gives us free will. These practical matters include who to marry, what career to choose, and where to live. Many American Evangelical churches have these two decision spheres inverted. Listen to pastor's teaching on this important Biblical doctrine in this lecture beginning at 44:10.
