One of my favorite take aways is when you pointed out that old testament were physical promises where new testament are spiritual. I know He will also give us physical promises but I have learned in my lifetime that not all the physical promises He gives us are necessarily good for us. What I mean is sometimes we keep praying over and over again for something, often times if it isn't good for us. God won't give us some of those things for our own protection but at other times for instance if we have prayed for a particular man in our lives to be with, He will just to let us learn our lesson because He has warned us about this man but we won't take heed to the warning and keep on asking in prayer. There are lessons to be learned to help us to grow. It's these times though, we get on our knees humbly admitting that we knew better but wanted it anyway, now we want God to help us through the issue or to just take it out of the way of our lives. Thank you Jesus for what I have learned and the lessons you have given me through out my life. I thank the Lord for His mercy, I surely would not have made it this far without Him in my life.
@@logcadrymom I will Pray for you Cindy everything is going to be okay God has a plan. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better." I legit prayed before I hit play on your video that I want to know more of Him, hear his voice, for Him to speak to me through the scripture!
There is so much more there waiting for us if we will dig for the nuggets He has left in His Word! Love, love, love spending time with Him and you as well!❤
Love these videos so much, Kaci! I really loved the part about how our spiritual blessings cannot be affected by physical things because they are kept in Heaven. That solidifies His promises in a new way for me!
I just started to read Ephesians, Thank you, this is a blessing, cause God has led me to read Ephesians and then you are starting a Bible Study at the exact time.❤❤❤
Trying desperately to fall in love with reading and studying God's word. Thank you for doing this beautiful study. I am excited to get to chapter 2. Looking forward to more time to learn!
It's nice to know the 3rd subheading of Chapter 1. It reminds me to pray for others so they may realize and know that they are already chosen, anointed, and adopted. Verses 17-19 struck me the most. Thank you! :)
Thanks Kaci Nicole. Several things stood out for me from this study. 1.Our blessings in Christ are spiritual in nature, thus, they are incorruptible. 2.We are heirs together with Christ. 3.We have redemption through Christ. 4.We become sealed with the Holy Spirit once we believe in Christ. The Spirit gives us an access to God's inheritance for us. 5.As saints, we are God's glorious inheritance. This assures us that God values and treasures us. Awesome!!!!
My favorite verse is lean not to your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5-6. Sometimes we go through things and we don’t understand why but it’s important to not lean into your own understanding but to trust God with all your heart. We’re nothing without God.
Verse 4 because know matter what's going on I know i have the one who loves me unconditional his name is God and all thanks to Jesus christ who died for my sins and verse 17 that my life must be centered around Lord Jesus because his wisdom and knowledge is everything in life. Thank you for summarizing this chapter. 🙏🙏🙏
Very powerful teaching. Thank you my savior. Lord Jesus Christ for giving me the privilege to learn more about you through Kaci Nicole. 😊🎉very well organized & holy spirit led teaching ❤😊
Thanks for breaking down the scriptures in Ephesians 1 so that they are easy to understand. The one scripture that stood out for me is Ephesians 1:4. To know I was chosen before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before Him is reassuring. God is forgiving.
Thank you so much for this excellent study it has revealed to me some things i was not understanding and i have come to realise how much GOD loves me so much and that he gave me spiritual blessings stored up in heavenly places where noone can steal or destroy 🤗🙏🙏
I just want to say thank you. I am trying to grow deeper in my faith and like to watch these types of videos to aid in my thought process and understanding, and this video.. I don't think I've ever teared up watching one. Thank you ❤
Finally stepping out of my comfort zone and doing in-depth bible studies. This is my first one and I'm so happy to stumble upon this video! Will be watching more of your videos for my daily studies
Right on Girl. I have not heard the rightly divided Gods Word Like you in a long time. Ephesians is the pinnacle of the whole word of God. I tell us exactly everything to what a believer is and know What God Almighty Called us to believe and do.
Thank you for all your incredible Bible studies ❤ they are also my first Bible studies & I love the format & all the wonderful insight and pointers you share :) What really stood out to me & melted my heart is that we are God’s treasured inheritance 🥹 and that he is excited to delight in US (whaaaat?!) so sweet 🥲
Started studying Ephesians tonight. Favorite Verse is Verse 7: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s Grace that he lavished on us. Key points I learned is that we are God’s Inheritance. We are his prize possession and he has promised us the heirs of his inheritance. He has given us Everything we need it is up to us to pursue it. Thank you for breaking this down.
Very good Bible Study! I have been trying to preach to Calvinists recently, and they really get stuck on Ephesians because of the false doctrines they are taught. This Bible Study of yours have helped me greatly. These are a list of blessings that have been chosen for whosoever believes in Him. Not blessings we received outside of Him. Then Ephesians 2 talks about a time when they were not in Him, but now in Christ Jesus they have inherited these blessings that have been foreordained through Jesus from before the foundation of the earth. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I've struggled for so long to get my head around this chapter . Praise the Lord for your excellent video . It has answered all my questions in a very clear and simple way . God bless you and this channel 🙏
I have read my bible for so long, but I have trouble understanding what I read much of the time. This is such an encouragement to me. I am so excited about this study with you. I am trying to fall in love with reading and studying God's word.
So much of this stood out. For myself I would say praying this scripture over myself. At the same time the part about being sealed by the holy spirit made my heart so heavy for those wo don't believe in the baptism of the holy spirit. As I heard another scripture last week stating in the end time, people would have a form of holiness but not believe in the power there of. This made me think we are in those times. Because so many believe in God and struggle to do right without the power of his holy spirit. But this verse saying sealed by the spirit. Does that mean those people who don't believe in this power are not sealed? It brings me to tears for so many.
This is my favorite book in the Bible at this moment! I'm so excited you are doing this Bible study! You are incredible articulate and refreshing! I enjoy all your work! God bless you!
favorite verses of chapter 1: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as HE chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love HE predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved" Eph 1:3-6 Thank you Kaci! Love these studies, love the commentary notes too
Thank you so much for this truly, when I started reading it I was not connecting to the text so I came across your video and it helped me understand so much better then how I would’ve on my own. Please keep posting these they help me so much I love you sister.
Kaci your are so used by God! Tks for sharing your studies! I'm starting reading Ephesians and will help me a lot. God bless you with spritual blessings ♡ Greatings from BR 🇧🇷
Wow! ✨May GOD continue to work through you Kaci, you've really gotten deep with Ephesians 1 and I love it❤️. Amazing 🙏🏼✝️. You really take the time to understand the WORD OF GOD ✨
Thank you so much for doing this! I can't wait to watch the rest of your study with me's ❤ The verse that stuck out to me was verse 13 where we are sealed in Him when we believe!
Good Morning! So glad to have found this channel this morning. Just subscribed. I have been in ministry for just over 7 years now - with my gift in serving in men's ministry, in children's ministry and as an usher. However, as I have been in ministry of helps, I have not been able to actually find time to sit down and actually study God's Word, instead have been serving other people with provided lessons and materials. I have watched several videos but none until this one has not only clicked with me, but remained in my brain and I was able to take efficient notes without my mind wandering. Such as blessing! Finally found a channel I can press into and better my understanding of his word. From Ephesians 1 - I most took away the difference between our physical blessings versus spiritual blessings that he has stored for us in heaven that can not be tarnished. That blew my mind!
Kaci God lead me to your page. I wanted to study ephesians and go more in depth with the chapters and you clearly help me understand them soo much more. You have a new follower. I can't wait to see what you have for chapter 2. Continue to let God speak to you and deliver his word. It was awesome. God bless you.
This is my first RU-vid bible study. Its was great,thank you 🤗. My take on verse is 18, where is talks about may the "eyes of your heart be open....." This has been my prayer lately. God bless you🙏🙏
Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher. To be honest I thought you might be to young to have much wisdom, but you are very wise. Thanks for you time and knowledge. GOD BLESS
God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in our spiritual UNION WITH CHRIST. "For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world." (Good News Translation)
Thank you Kaci! You do a wonderful job in explaining the beginning chapters of Ephesians. Look forward to studying other books in the Bible. I found your channel while listening to BibleProject. God bless you for what you do!
That was amazing & incredibly helpful. Please do more studies like this! I am so thankful that I found your channel and that you use this platform to share His Word and truth with believers (who are seeking to grow in relationship) & for those who aren’t yet believers. My prayer is that you continue down this path of content. You are doing great things! Thank you
Thank you for another beautiful video, Kaci! My biggest takeaway from this was how the character of God is shown in His gratitude for His saints. So often in pop culture, at least in my personal history and experience, God is depicted as some overlord that demands our devotion yet ‘all we get is entrance to heaven.’ Even if that were true, I’d say that’s a massive and wonderful reward, to be sure. But to know that God is not a golden ticket to heaven, but a Father who genuinely loves us and cares for us immeasurably.. Not only is He our inheritance, we are His. I positively adore each time I hear of how truly magnificent God is, and how his generosity, kindness, and love expands further than the human mind can really grasp on it’s own. Thank God He gave us His Word to truly know Him, His power, and His love for us! And that he demonstrates the type of leadership we should demonstrate to our fellow humans here on earth - in motherhood, church, the community, our careers, etc. And what a beautiful demonstration it is!
this is absolutely wonderful! I very much like the style that you are using for this study. further, as someone who has been totally blind since birth, and uses a screen reader on my phone to read what is on my screen, it is incredibly helpful how you are reading each verse, as well as reading your notes rather than just simply popping them up on the screen. keep up the fabulous work! you're doing a great job.
Kacie thankyou for doing this bible study. I have a learning disability so it makes it hard to read and understand the bible. You clear things up for me. Terry lynne
Good morning Miss Kaci (yes, I'm southern) ;).... I just want to thank you for taking the time and energy to guide us through the books of the Bible. I'm a newbie Christian and your wisdom and thorough explanation is absolutely fantastic! Basically, I'm just following your lead and I look forward to learning and growing in the Word. Again sweet lady...thank you so much. :)
I loved this study. I am currently a small group leader at Alpha and I’m planning to use Paul’s words to pray over my group as we finish the course 🙏 Looking forward to the next video!
Hi Kaci, I watched you today on Fox Nation Ainsley’s Bible Study. It was great to get to know a little about you and your social media platforms. I just listened to your bible study on Ephesians 1 - great job, Keep shining your light ! I’ll be tuning in each day. Thank you!
I enjoyed this bible study very much. In my reading and studying along with you, I'm a firm believer in using a kjv bible and one thing that stood out to me was how often the word "In" was mentioned, "to the faithful in Christ Jesus" "in heavenly places in Christ" "all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" "According as he hath chosen us in Him" "in love" etc there are more. I want to go back as part of my next bible study and look further at all the places "in" is written since it stood out to me.
@@kacinicole Actually, I am a pastor here India and I have recently come across your channel on RU-vid.It is really good to be receiving this knowledge of the Bible from You.I will not miss any video on this channel from now on..May God bless you for this wonderful work of imparting the knowledge of the Bible.
Just found you and I did the study on Ephesians 1. Loved it. I am also doing some bible journaling so I like the way you did the lists. It was very helpful. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Hi there, God bless you for the amazing insight to the book of Ephesians. May I please know the name of the commentary you use as well as the study Bible please....? 🙏
