Thank God for Every Spirit-Wrought Inward Change

Thanksgiving 4.35 | KJV

I must bless God if there be a saving change wrought in me by his blessed Spirit.

And hath God by his grace translated me out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear Son? Colossians 1:13(KJV) Hath he called me into fellowship of Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 1:9(KJV) and made me nigh by his blood who by nature was afar off? Ephesians 2:13(KJV) Not unto myself, O Lord, not unto myself, but unto thy name I give glory. Psalm 115:1(KJV)

I give thanks to God always for those to whom the gospel is come, not in word only, but in power and the Holy Ghost and in much assurance. 1 Thessalonians 1:5(KJV)

Thou hast loved me with an everlasting love, and therefore with loving-kindness thou hast drawn me, Jeremiah 31:3(KJV) drawn me with the cords of a man and the bands of love. Hosea 11:4(KJV)

When the strong man armed kept his palace in my heart, and his goods were in peace, it was a stronger than he that came upon him, and took from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divided the spoil. Luke 11:21-22(KJV)

Thank God for the Hope of Eternal Life and for the Work of the Spirit within you

Thanksgiving 4.34 | KJV

For the prospect and hope of eternal life, when time shall be no more.

I thank thee for the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him; James 1:12(KJV) the inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for me. 1 Peter 1:4(KJV)

That having here no continuing city, Hebrews 13:14(KJV) I am encouraged to seek the better country, that is, the heavenly; Hebrews 11:16(KJV) the city that hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 11:10(KJV)

That I am in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, hath promised; Titus 1:2(KJV) and that all true believers, through grace, Acts 18:27(KJV) have eternal life abiding in them. 1 John 3:15(KJV)

2dly, I must give God thanks for the spiritual mercies bestowed upon me in particular, especially if I am called with an effectual call and have a good work of grace begun in me.

I must bless God for the striving of his Spirit with me, and the admonitions and checks of my own conscience.

I bless thee that thou hast not given me over to a reprobate mind; Romans 1:28(KJV) that my conscience is not seared; 1 Timothy 4:2(KJV) that thou hast not said concerning me, He is joined to an idol, let him alone; Hosea 4:17(KJV) but that thy Spirit is yet striving with me. Genesis 6:3(KJV)

I thank thee for the work of the law written in my heart, my own conscience also bearing witness, and my own thoughts between themselves accusing or excusing one another. Romans 2:15(KJV)

Thank God for the Communion of Saints

Thanksgiving 4.33 | KJV

For the communion of saints, that spiritual communion which I have in faith and hope and holy love, and in prayers and praises with all good Christians.

I bless thee that if your people walk in the light, they have fellowship one with another, 1 John 1:7(KJV) even with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ the Lord, both theirs and mine. 1 Corinthians 1:2(KJV)

That your people, being many, are one bread and one body; 1 Corinthians 10:17(KJV) and that though there are diversities of gifts and administrations and operations, yet there is the same Spirit, the same Lord, and the same God, which worketh in all. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6(KJV)

I thank thee that all the children of God which were scattered abroad, John 11:52(KJV) are united in him who is the head of the body, the church; Colossians 1:18(KJV) so they are all my brethren and companions in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:9(KJV)
