Elisha pt.4 - God Can Restore What Seems Lost 

November 9, 2025

Pastor Sam Goins

God will help you FIND what you didn’t mean to LOSE. 

… When they arrived at the Jordan, [the prophets] began cutting down trees. 5But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!” 6“Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface. 7“Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it. 2 Kings 6:4-7 NLT 

Sometimes the smallest MIRACLE carries the biggest MESSAGE. 

If it MATTERS to you, it MATTERS to God, because you matter to him 

What have you lost that god wants to restore? 

Be HONEST about where you LOST it. 

The man of god asked, “where did it fall?” ... 2 kings 6:6 niv 

Take BACK what you LOST. 

... When [the prophet] showed [Elisha] the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. 7“Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it. 2 Kings 6:6-7 NIV 

And the God of all grace … will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10 NIV
