We don't have that much free will. Psalm 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

I do not see that scripture applicable to the question. That addresses God's omnipresence which is true for the saved and unsaved . One can not escape even in Hell (which sure would indicate an unsaved man )

Your position is we have enough free will to force God to act , but not enough to walk away?? In case one we have an unregenerate man that can force God to act according to his will and a regenerate man that can not do as he chooses.

It would seem it takes a strong will to make God act. It should be just as strong to walk away .Does God want you to be a puppet, being where you do not want to be?

Noone forces God ...

He has already issued the invitiation.

The banquet has already begun.

Our seat is already there.

We need only join the party in progress.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
And with that ... I must go. God's blessings to you and yours ...
