Nothing between, Lord, nothing between

Even if we deal with our heart and with the negative things in our heart, we may still have some complications. All of us, young and old alike, are complicated. Within us there are a number of factors which cause complications. These complications also make it difficult for us to receive blessing from the Word.

As we read Psalm 119 , we see that the psalmist was right with the Lord. There was nothing between him and the Lord. I appreciate the line in the hymn, “Nothing between, Lord, nothing between. ” However, it is one thing to sing this hymn, but it is another thing to practice having nothing between us and the Lord. How much we shall receive from the living Word if there is nothing between the Lord and us!

2. To Abide, to Remain, in the Son

Once we see the fact that we are branches in the vine, we need to maintain the fellowship between us and the vine. Any insulation will separate us from the rich supply of the vine tree. A little disobedience, a sin, or even a sinful thought can be the insulation that separates us from the riches of the vine. If we do not condemn such things but hold on to them, they will insulate us from the rich supply of the vine tree. First, we must see that we are branches. Then we need to maintain the fellowship between us and the Lord. Nothing should be between Him and us. There is a hymn in our hymnal that opens with the words Nothing between, Lord, nothing between. From experience we know that even a small thing can insulate us from the rich supply of the vine tree. We need to pray to the Lord, “Lord, let there be nothing between You and me separating me from Your rich supply. ”

____________________________
A CLEAR SKY AND A CLEAR CONSCIENCE

We Christians need to maintain a clear sky with the Lord. This means that we need always to have a clear fellowship with Him. We should have nothing between us and the Lord. When there is nothing between us and the Lord, our sky will be crystal clear, and our conscience will be pure, void of any offense (Acts 24:16).

We need to be deeply impressed with the fact that if, as Christians, we would have a clear sky, a crystal heaven, before the Lord, we need to have a conscience that is without offense. Whenever there is condemnation or an offense on our conscience, our sky immediately becomes cloudy, darkened, and foggy. At such times we should confess our failure and our sin to the Lord and receive His forgiveness and the cleansing of His precious blood (1 John 1:9, 7). This will cleanse our conscience so that it will be void of offense. We will again have a clear sky and a clear fellowship with the Lord, with nothing between us and Him.

Message 11 (LSM)

Lord, help me to follow You, wholeheartedly and steadfastly, with nothing between You and I. This is my heart cry, to be Your disciple indeed, and also make disciples.

Nothing of earthly care . Nothing of fear, nothing tears

Father please, help me to draw me to thee This year.

Ephesians 2:13 - But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have become near in the blood of Christ.

Amen to Sister Femi!
Nothing between, Lord, nothing between!

Lord, even in this era of COVID-19,
Nothing between, Lord, nothing between;
Let not earth’s din and noise
Stifle Thy still small voice;
In it let me rejoice—Nothing between, nothing between.

O Lord Jesus! nothing between, Lord, nothing between; Thus may I walk with Thee, Thee only may I see, Thine only let me be, nothing between, nothing between.

After many years the lyrics came to mind.

The Lord gave me this hymn early this morning as I was opening my heart to Him in prayer. The Lord desires even more than we to reveal His Son in us (Gal. 1:15-16) and fill us with Himself (Eph. 3:19). So why would we consider, even for a moment, the value of anything other than Christ, Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). But this is a necessary exercise of heart to allow the Lord to shine on and rid ourselves of every bit of garbage that comes between us and our Lord Jesus Christ.
