Very frequently it is spoken by professional church people that God is to be "allowed," or "let," to do something, usually in our lives or "hearts."
Such a notion of "letting" God do something, or anything at all, is not found in Scripture. Where, then, does anyone find the temerity to think God can be "allowed" to do something, especially at the prompting or specification of a created human? Most likely it is from their arrogance and presumptuousness, to think they can fabricate a nonScriptural capacity for them to act.
As well, it is convenientlly supportive of a professional church leader's presumed "authority" to appear that he has a special understanding of God and special influence with God, such that they can professionally and confidently "let" God do things.
The true test of claiming to "let" God do something is to look for material results of such a proclamation. Such material results are always unfindable.
