Here’s how I’d see it, and we may actually be agreeing but talking in different terms.
Foolishness says no to God. God will begin to flow in when we stop saying no, and yet that in turn gives us the power to positively embrace God, i.e. assert a yes to God.
I don’t even get into Calvinistic (or Arminian) arguments any more. They are not useful. I go straight to the biblical promises.

I think so.
