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)

Thank God for the Ministry and Other Ordinances

Thanksgiving 4.29 | NASB

For the institution of ordinances, and particularly that of the ministry.

I thank You that You have not only declared Your words to Jacob, but Your statutes and ordinances to Israel, to Your people: You have not dealt thus with other nations; and as for Your ordinances, they have not known them. Psalm 147:19-20(NASB)

That the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them; Revelation 21:3(NASB) and that He has set His sanctuary in their midst forever, Ezekiel 37:26(NASB) and there will meet with the sons of Israel. Exodus 29:43(NASB)

I thank You that You have made known to me Your holy Sabbaths, Nehemiah 9:14(NASB) and that there still remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Hebrews 4:9(NASB)

And that when the Lord Jesus ascended on high He gave gifts to men, Ephesians 4:8(NASB) not only prophets, apostles, and evangelists, but pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until all the people of God attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ; Ephesians 4:11-13(NASB) and that while they teach Your people to observe all that Christ has commanded, He has promised to be with them always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20(NASB)

Thank God for the Scriptures

Thanksgiving 4.28 | ESV

For the writing of the Scriptures and the preserving of them pure and entire to this day.

I thank you that I have the Scriptures to search, and that in them I have eternal life, for it is they that bear witness about Christ; John 5:39(ESV) and that all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16(ESV)

That whatever was written in former days was written for my instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures I might have hope; Romans 15:4(ESV) and that I have this sure prophetic word, as a lamp shining in a dark place. 2 Peter 1:19(ESV)

That the vision has not become to me like the words of a book that is sealed, Isaiah 29:11(ESV) but that I hear in my own tongue the mighty works of God. Acts 2:11(ESV)

I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that the things which you have hidden from the wise and understanding and which many prophets and kings desired to see but did not, 1 Peter 1:10(ESV) are revealed to little children like myself; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Luke 10:21(ESV)
