    Awesome Teaching!!
    I was strolling on TH-cam looking for a teaching on Spiritual Blessing, and The Lord had me to stop when I saw your page, I don’t know you, never saw you before, but, God knows you and I’m glad He does!!
    Today is 10-11-2024,
    I was reading
    1 Corinthians 5, and I wanted to know what it meant: that in everything you are enriched by Him.
    And you took us in Ephesians 1:1-3, which helped me to understand 1 Cor. 5.
    Thank You So Much!!
    I Love how you teach, with the Spirit of Excellence!!😊❤

    This is the best explanation I have heard of this passage. My question is “what are the spiritual blessings?” Thank you for describing these blessings in a way that is believable, not based on the trendy teachings of faith teachers of today.

    Hi Kim I became acquainted with
    you on watching my first video “how I study the Bible”, I’m a born again Christian for many years, I like to see what others have to say on the topic. From there I watched many more. I’m in study with you currently in the book of Revelation, you make it easy to follow. You are a great story teller, your diction is perfect, you are a pleasure to watch. When you were practicing law, many must have been drawn to you. If you were a litigator I would have enjoyed watching you.i just started to join you in the study of Ephesians, one of my favorite books.
    By the way... I love your shorter hair style.
    Somehow I feel a connection... my niece received her MBA from the University of Maryland, moving their from Alexandria Virginia.
    You are a great asset to the Christian YT, many more “ spiritual blessings” to you.

    Lately I feel like the Holy Spirit has been bringing people of God, sent by God to my timeline for specific lessons that he's teaching me it's just amazing. You came on my timeline a few days ago with how to read the Bible and it's something I have been praying to God for, and after seeing some of your videos, this is exactly what I need at this point in my life. You are God sent, please keep following God's direction. We appreciate what you are doing...🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

    Great kick off! Tonight, my 12 yr old joined me for the first session. He was desiring more of your Bible Studies. I know our journey through Ephesians will be dynamic! This is how believers should always study the Word of GOD; slowly marinating and meditating on each phrase, scene, and sentence structure. I loved the way you
    linked the other scriptures, they all formed a secure chain in my spirit. Thank you for sharing your Wisdom of the Word. I'm looking forward to next week!

    • @kimcashtate
      @kimcashtate  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I was so touched to hear that your 12 yr old joined you…and wanted more! Praise God for his hunger. That's a real blessing, and I know it's because of what you, his mom, have been teaching him and sowing into him. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, and I'm so glad you like the pace. :) Blessings to you and looking forward to connecting throughout the study!

    Girl....I just had Bible study in my room! I came across this video, after watching a couple of your others. I have been searching for a Bible study/devotion I could do in my quiet time, but all the ones I've done in the past just kind of leave you hanging out there all by yourself...I seriously felt like you were right in the room, talking to me! What a refreshing way to do an online Bible study! Thank you for your videos, they are informative and very well articulated in a way we can understand! Looking forward to many more as you have just given me a new excitement and hunger to learn more about His Word! Blessings to you!

    • @kimcashtate
      @kimcashtate  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dana, I meant to reply to this a couple of times and got distracted....I was determined to get back to it because it blessed me so much. I am so thankful to God that these videos are presented in a way you can understand, and I'm rejoicing that you have a hunger to learn more about His Word! God is so good! This encourages me more than you know. Blessings to you, my sister. I know the Lord will give you grace continually to learn more and more from His Word. xoxo

    Wow!! Right now you are blessing me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!! I am loving this Ephesians Bible Study. I've read through the book of Ephesians a few times, and didn't notice that in Ephesians 1:3, blessed is used as an adjective, a verb and a noun. Awesome insight! Also on another tip, I am an aspiring writer and am working on a long chapter. I was a little tired, so I put my writing down and I picked up my new book "Though I Stumble" to relax. But after reading a few pages of your superb writing and hearing your Bible Study, I'm encouraged to finish my chapter!! Thank you for that blessing! God bless!! :) P.S. I hope you're still uploading Bible Study videos, after Ephesians, there are still 65 more books :)

    • @kimcashtate
      @kimcashtate  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And you have blessed me as well! So thankful that you are loving the Ephesians study and thank you so much for reading Though I Stumble! So glad you were encouraged to return to your chapter, and I pray God's blessings upon your writing journey! I am definitely praying about a next study here on TH-cam. I so appreciate your encouragement. Blessings to you, my sister. xo

    @dil2700 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    As far as Ephisians1 goes, many religious people have this misconception to separate spiritual from physical material things. The bottom line is that, the spiritual blessings we have already been blessed with are the foundation of all the physical and tangible earthy aspects: health, belongings, connections, money and so forth. The word of God is 100% spiritual and it does create physical reality. Planet earth and its wealth were created following this concept. Anyway, each blessing in the heavenly places will manifest in every single aspect of our secular life!

    @InChristAlone830 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I love the video but I had a thought while watching. Yes, Paul, penned the letter to the Ephesians, but it was actually written by the Holy Spirit through Paul. I know this is a random thought but I think its important especially for new believers to know that just random men didn't come up with the Bible but rather the Spirit of God working through these men.

    • @kimcashtate
      @kimcashtate  9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      +Shelly Baxter Absolutely. Going verse by verse, I'm covering what's written specifically in Ephesians, and in this case, who Paul is. But we understand and praise God that all Scripture is inspired by God through the Holy Spirit.
