Let there be silence int he temple.  Shut up the voices.  When the Holy Spirit fills the temple.  In the silence, there can be true prayer, so we can hear the still small voice.  Our minds are full of Babel.  Once we crucified the son, the Father doesn’t see the human race.
2 Timothy 2:16-26 In discipline we are unlearning, til finally the thing we are trying to apprehend, apprehends us
1 Peter 1:1-7
Eze 36: 27; 22-31

Free will discussion
Satan’s will is self for self.  God’s is self for others.
Romans 6:14-18  We are either slaves to sin or to righteousness
1 John 3: 4-10
Romans 6:11-18  God’s fail-safe within us is that we become poor and that opens the door to Him.  Don’t rebuild the things you have destroyed.  The “disasters” in our lives are what God uses to mold us into his kingdom.

Free Will
Martin Luther taught against free will.  The scriptures are clear that we don’t have free will.  The fall produced self for self and the illusion of free will.
Eph. 2:1-3
John 15: 1-3 How can a branch have an independent self?  If we use our mind, we cut ourselves off from the vine.
Abandon self completely!
Romans 6:1-13
2 Thess. 2:1-4
Read Bondage of the Will by Luther
