    The Floating Axhead

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 19, 2016
     | 10,360 views

    The account of Elisha, the student prophet and the floating axhead is one that would make intellectuals just shake their heads at someone who would believe such a thing. How big is your God? The God of the Bible is awesome even in small miracles!

    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

    Message on 2 Kings 6:1-7

    As I prepare for this sermon I'm reminded of a quote I read that's goes like this “You shouldn't go through life with catchers mitts on both hands, you should be able to throw something back”.

    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.
