    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

    Iron Can Swim

     | 2,234 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

    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

    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.

     | 22,723 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

    The Floating Axhead

     | 10,542 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!

    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. Sometimes we find ourselves in seasons of growth that demand expansion, and ...read more

    Permission

    Contributed by Nishal Maharaj on Mar 8, 2026
     | 107 views

    In today’s passage, we see the prophets coming to Elisha, asking for permission. They could have gone on their own, but they chose humility and respect for God’s appointed leadership. We’ll learn why permission and obedience are a path to God’s blessing and protection.

    Today I want to speak about the importance of permission and respect for God-appointed leadership. In the passage we read from Second Book of Kings 6:1–7, we see that Elisha was the prophet appointed by God and he was leading a group of prophets. These prophets lived and learned under his ...read more
