II Kings 6:1-7: God supernaturally caused a borrowed, lost ax head to float to the surface of the water. • It is extraordinary and beyond the natural order of thing for an iron ax head to float in water.

Debt cancellation is not just an economic transaction, nor simply a spiritual matter. Jesus linked forgiveness of money debts and spiritual debts (Luke 7:36-50,11:2-4,16:1-13), and made forgiveness of our debts contingent on our forgiveness of the debts of others (Matthew 6:9-15,18:21-35). • Un-forgiveness, holding grudges, being angry and bitter toward people that have wronged you blocks the flow of God's grace from working on your life.
