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

Thanksgiving 4.32 | NASB

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

I bless You for all those who have been enabled to commend themselves to God in much endurance, in afflictions, and in distresses; 2 Corinthians 6:4(NASB) who when they have been brought before kings and governors for Christ’s sake, it has turned to them for an opportunity for their testimony, Luke 21:12-13(NASB) and God has given them utterance and wisdom which none of their opponents were able to resist or refute. Luke 21:15(NASB)

That those who for Christ’s sake were put to death all day long and considered as sheep to be slaughtered, in all these things overwhelmingly conquered through Him who loved them. Romans 8:36-37(NASB)

That they overcame the accuser of the brethren because of the blood of the Lamb, because of the word of their testimony, and because they did not love their life even when faced with death. Revelation 12:10-11(NASB)

I bless You for the cloud of witnesses surrounding me, Hebrews 12:1(NASB) for the trail of the flock, Song of Solomon 1:8(NASB) for the men of old who gained approval, Hebrews 11:2(NASB) and are now, through faith and patience, inheriting the promises. Hebrews 6:12(NASB) Lord, give me to follow them, as they followed Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1(NASB)

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

Thanksgiving 4.31 | NASB

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

I bless You that though the enemies of Israel have persecuted them from their youth up, have many times persecuted them, yet they have not prevailed against them; though the plowers have plowed on their back, yet the righteous LORD has cut in two the cords of the wicked. Psalm 129:1-4(NASB)

That Jesus Christ has built His church upon a rock, which the gates of Hades cannot overpower; Matthew 16:18(NASB) but His descendents will be established forever and His throne as the days of heaven. Psalm 89:29(NASB)

Thank God for Planting His Church in the World

Thanksgiving 4.30 | NASB

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

I thank You that the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of the eternal God, and the gospel which has been made known to all the nations for the obedience of faith, Romans 16:25-26(NASB) was divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses: 2 Corinthians 10:4(NASB) That the Lord worked with it and confirmed the word by the signs that followed, Mark 16:20(NASB) so that Satan fell from heaven like lightning. Luke 10:18(NASB)

That though the gospel was preached amid much opposition, 1 Thessalonians 2:2(NASB) yet it grew and prevailed mightily, Acts 19:20(NASB) 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(NASB)

Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of God and the authority of His Christ have come: Revelation 12:10(NASB) And the exalted Redeemer rode forth with His bow and with His crown, conquering and to conquer, Revelation 6:2(NASB) and nations were brought forth all at once. Isaiah 66:8(NASB)
