    It’s a story that is told to us about a miracle that God performed through one of His greatest Old Testament prophets, Elisha. Elisha was the prophetic successor of another great Old Testament prophet named Elijah.

    Has your faith sunk 1. 2 kings 6:1-7 2. Job 42:1-10 “Faith is not believing that God can; it is knowing that He will”. Faith allows God to do for us and with us what we could never do alone.

    You Must Protect Your Axe Head!

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 22,023 views

    The Story Of The Lost Axe-Head Is One Of A Miracle Of Recovery & Restoration. The axe-head speaks of the power, the anointing, the enablement of the Holy Ghost, without which Christian service is ineffective. Protect your axe head.

    YOU MUST PROTECT YOUR AXE HEAD! 1. 2 KINGS 6:1 The company of the prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us. 2 Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.” And he said, “Go.” 3 Then one of them ...read more

    As believers, our hope ultimately rests in the promise that Christ will come back for us one day and make all things new. But what about the here & now? The Bible is full of examples of how God makes things new for His glory & our good.

    WHEN GOD RESTORES: STEPS TO RECOVERY & RESTORATION IN GOD 1. 2 KINGS:8 1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, and depart with your household, and sojourn wherever you can, for the Lord has called for a famine, and it will come upon the land for seven ...read more

    Iron, That Floats—even Swims.

    Again ax-heads don't float. Or do they? Maybe it’s time to pray a ridiculous prayer! The Bible say’s, “The iron did swim!” This ranks as one of my favorite miracles in the scripture for a couple reasons. First, this isn't a life or death situation. It's just a borrowed ax head.

    Iron, That Floats—Even Swims. 2 Kings 6:1-7NLT Whenever I counsel people who are wrestling with the will of God. I remind them of a simple truth: “God wants you to get where God wants you to go, more than you want to get where God wants you to go.” I’ll read it once more—it should relieve you from ...read more

     | 1,161 views

    The simple things or actions during our Christian walk of faith are just as important as with the things that seem major.

    2 Kings 6:1-7 Elisha has now succeeded Elijah as a prophet to the Northern Kingdom (2 Kings 2:1-18). He has by now already prophesied and God has performed a few miracles through him. But now we will see something peculiar, he makes an axe head float. This situation shows how God cares for His ...read more

    Recovery Is In Reach

    The gifts of God are irrevocable, so is the anointing of God. 1 John 2:27 says, “But as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you;” But we will never be able to serve the Lord in an effective manner with a broken tool! God can help us to recover what has fallen.

    II King 6:1-7 (NKJV) Recovery is in Reach February 12, 2023 Setting: The school of the prophets had grown to the point that they needed a new place. As they are in the process of cutting down trees to build their new school, one of the ministers loses his ax head in the Jordan River. He becomes ...read more

    Iron Can Swim

     | 2,072 views

    When a man makes iron to float on water, people will say it is magic. God is not a magician. He is the God of miracles. Nothing is impossible with Him. He can make iron swim. His children too can.

    TEXT: 2 KINGS 6:5-6 (NIV) "As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water. 'Oh no, my lord!' he cried out. 'It was borrowed!' The man of God asked, 'Where did it fall?' When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, ...read more

    There is some weird stuff in the Bible... Talking donkeys. Floating axe heads. Men swallowed by fish. Commands not to wear mixed fabrics. Giants. Seraphim with six wings... All of which ultimately points us back to our redemption in Jesus Christ.

    Sometimes God's blessing creates beautiful problems that require faithful responses, while other times success can lead to spiritual complacency that demands honest restoration.

    The Place Is Too Small 2 Kings 6:1-6 Introduction There comes a moment in every believer's life, in every ministry, and in every congregation when we must honestly assess where we are and where God is calling us to go.
