Thank God for the Martyrs and Confessors who have Gone Before you

Thanksgiving 4.32 | KJV

For the martyrs and confessors, the lights of the church, and the good examples of those that are gone before me to heaven.

I bless thee for all those who have been enabled to approve themselves to God in much patience, in afflictions, in distresses; 2 Corinthians 6:4(KJV) who when they have been brought before governors and kings for Christ’s sake, it has turned to them for a testimony, Luke 21:12-13(KJV) and God has given them a mouth and wisdom, which all their adversaries were not able to gainsay or resist. Luke 21:15(KJV)

That those who for Christ’s sake were killed all the day long and accounted as sheep for the slaughter, were yet, in all these things, more than conquerors, through him that loved them. Romans 8:36-37(KJV)

That they overcame the accuser of the brethren by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and by not loving their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:10-11(KJV)

I bless thee for the cloud of witnesses with which I am encompassed about, Hebrews 12:1(KJV) for the footsteps of the flock, Song of Solomon 1:8(KJV) for the elders that have obtained a good report, Hebrews 11:2(KJV) and are now, through faith and patience, inheriting the promises. Hebrews 6:12(KJV) Lord, give me to follow them, as they followed Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1(KJV)

Thank God for the Preservation of Christianity in the World to this Day

Thanksgiving 4.31 | KJV

For the preservation of Christianity in the world unto this day.

I bless thee that though the enemies of Israel have afflicted them from their youth up, have many a time afflicted them, yet they have not prevailed against them; though the plowers have plowed on their back, yet the righteous Lord has cut asunder the cords of the wicked. Psalm 129:1-4(KJV)

That Jesus Christ hath built his church upon a rock, which the gates of hell cannot prevail against; Matthew 16:18(KJV) but his seed shall endure for ever and his throne as the days of heaven. Psalm 89:29(KJV)

Thank God for Planting His Church in the World

Thanksgiving 4.30 | KJV

For the planting of the Christian religion in the world and the setting up of the gospel-church, in despite of all the opposition of the powers of darkness.

I thank thee that the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, and the gospel which was made known to all nations for the obedience of faith, Romans 16:25-26(KJV) was mighty through God to the pulling down of the strong-holds: 2 Corinthians 10:4(KJV) That the Lord wrought with it and confirmed the word by signs following, Mark 16:20(KJV) so that Satan fell as lightning from heaven. Luke 10:18(KJV)

That though the gospel was preached in much contention, 1 Thessalonians 2:2(KJV) yet it grew and prevailed mightily, Acts 19:20(KJV) and multitudes turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven. 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10(KJV)

Now came salvation and strength and the kingdom of God and the power of his Christ: Revelation 12:10(KJV) And the exalted Redeemer rode forth with his bow and with his crown, conquering and to conquer, Revelation 6:2(KJV) and nations were born at once. Isaiah 66:8(KJV)
