"Not my will, but Yours be done."

ASSIGNMENT 5

The Yielding Inventory

Rate yourself 1–10:

Trusting God

Obedience

Humility

Teachability

Repentance

Submission

Patience

Dependence on God

Identify your lowest score.

Create a plan to strengthen that area.

FINAL CHALLENGE

Many people want God's power.

Few want God's process.

Many want God's promises.

Few want God's pruning.

The struggle often continues because surrender has not yet happened.

The question is not:

"Why is God not moving?"

The deeper question is:

"Have I fully yielded?"

Because God can do more with a surrendered vessel than with a talented but resistant one.

The Holy Spirit flows most freely through yielded people.
