Full surrender to God's call requires letting go of our past completely, just as Elisha burned his plow and sacrificed his oxen before following Elijah. This radical act of surrender eliminates the possibility of returning to our old life and demonstrates total commitment to God's purpose. Common barriers like fear, pride, and the need for control often prevent us from surrendering fully. When we finally release everything to God, we experience greater spiritual authority, clearer identity in Christ, and freedom from past bondages.
