It has the power of Choice, every single time it makes it.
Who decided that you would join this forum?
Did God make you do it?
Who decided what you would eat today?
Did God choose if for you?
See, this "pre-destined elect" mentality, is like being insane.
There is no logic, there is no right thinking, its just.......total penetration into heresy.
Totally darkened mind that Blames God as its reason to exist.
You are misreading Isa 6:9,10.
Let's have it from Dr Luke in Acts 28-
25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
26 “ ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’
Red words are what the peope to do themselves.
Blue words are what they COULD do if they chose.
Green words are God's response to their proper choice.

From God.
God made man in His IMAGE.
"image", = Likeness..........
This is why Jesus said...>"ye are gods'.
If you understand Adam and Eve, then you will know that "God breathed into Adam", and this is the SPRIIT OF GOD.
Its the same thing that Jesus performed, when He saw the Apostles, after HE rose from the Dead..... and "breathed on them".
Adam was made by God, but His body had no life in it.
God put His Spirit into Adam and Adam became a LIVING SOUL>.....which is, a Spiritual LIFE.
So, Adam's free will came from God, who created humans to have this internal capacity of Spirit that is active in the mind. (soul realm)
Here is what you need to understand, reader.
If you have no free will........then How can God hold you accountable for sin or for anything, if you dont choose it for yourself.
God could not hold you responsible for what you do if you are being forced to do it.
God could not hold you accountable for being a Christ Rejector, unless you have the free will to make that choice.

Is this really what you think???
So, everything that is an "entity" has 'power', eh? Where do you come up with these things?
Is a rock an entity? How much power does it have?
Is my ink pen an entity? How much power does it have?
I could go on and on, but I hope you are beginning to see the point here.
In the morning when it time to get dressed, who decides the clothes you will wear? If someone does that, then you don't have free will in what you wear that day. But if you decide the clothes you put on, then you DO have the free will in your clothing choice.

Because of Adam's "Spiritual" fall....
See, we get our "nature" from our father.
Our father came from Adam, who had a fallen nature......or 'Adamic Nature".
We are born of this adamic nature, and that is the "sin nature".
JESUS......has GOD as His Father.
He was born of Holy Seed, so, He was born without the adamic nature or the sin nature.

Free will is the reason a person makes a choice to believe in Jesus or not.
God does not choose that for you.........You choose it for yourself, and that is why you can't stand before God after you die and say....."you made me not choose Christ"....>"you forced me not to choose to be saved".
And God will say......"Liars are not permitted to stay here, just like Christ Rejectors are not permitted to stay here"..
= "DEPART !!!"
