Predestination Is Created by Us, Not God

Predestination to my own understanding means our lives from birth to dead has been fixed, preordained or determined by an unseen God, without inputs whatsoever from us.
Therefore, all our efforts in thought, words or deeds cannot change the roadmap God created even while we were in our mother's womb.
Honestly, I do not think this is right. Please, feel free to convince me to change my mind based on sound, superior arguments, as opposed to blackmail and propaganda.
The Bible says what we sow today, we reap tomorrow. Therefore, in life, there is a sowing and reaping process, which we determine, through the choices we make daily.
Instead of predestination, I know from personal experience that our destiny is in our hands, created by us from our past thought, words and deeds.
God exists, man also exists and there is a definite relationship between God and man. This statement from AMORC is true and acceptable by me.
Our dominant thought, words and deeds, negative or positive have definite effects on our lives tomorrow, the year to come and after this present life. Karma and reincarnation in action.
So, whether we are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, noble or criminal, loving or cruel, kind or brutal, we are sowing a seed today in our individual lives that will come to manifestation either in this life or the next. We will pay for the seeds sown.
This is destiny in action, created by us not by an unknown God. It is not predestination that some pastors, imams and spiritualists out there will want to force down our throats, just like the concept of heaven and hell.
Yes, some of us have the power, wealth, connection and the means to cut corners, suppress and intimidate others and run others down in desperate moves to achieve our selfish desires.
We may think we can buy the judiciary and the law enforcement agents. But, none of us can manipulate the laws of karma that is closely tied to destiny, instead of predestination.
God is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth, so says the Bible.
Therefore, none of us can hide under the umbrella of predestination to escape facing the consequences of our thought, words and deeds in this life time and the next.
Your preacher may want to use predestination as another plot to place you under his or her control for life. Please, get this message here and now, nobody, not even God has the right to determine your life.
God only gives you what you sincerely ask for. God will work with you, not for you. The journey of life is a personal one and your preacher cannot determine the roadmap of your life. He is she is also a human being like you.
