Thank God for the Communion of Saints

Thanksgiving 4.33 | NASB

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

I bless You that if Your people walk in the Light, they have fellowship with one another, 1 John 1:7(NASB) even with all who in every place call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and mine. 1 Corinthians 1:2(NASB)

That Your people, who are many, are one bread and one body; 1 Corinthians 10:17(NASB) and that though there are varieties of gifts and ministries and effects, yet there is the same Spirit, the same Lord, and the same God, who works all things in all persons. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6(NASB)

I thank You that all the children of God who are scattered abroad, John 11:52(NASB) are united in Him who is the head of the body, the church; Colossians 1:18(NASB) so they are all my brothers and fellow partakers in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus. Revelation 1:9(NASB)

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)
