“NOTHING BETWEEN!”

NOTHING: not anything, no interest, value, or consequence

BETWEEN: from one to another

There is an old song my daddy used to lead at his prayer meetings. The Chorus goes like this:

Nothing between my soul and the Savior!

So that His Bless-ed face may be seen!

Nothing preventing the least of His favor!

Keep the way clear let nothing between!

As I was asking the Lord God Almighty what I should share this morning that may encourage and strengthen all who read it, this old song started going through my mind and as I began singing that powerful desire, I knew this would help someone else also.

What stands between us and clearly seeing and communicating with our Savior?

Jesus suffered and died to pay the price for our past, present, and future sins. We just receive and believe!

Then begins a journey with Jesus that will take us to eternity with Him! But after receiving Jesus as our Savior we are to begin to let Him refine us and bring our lives into glorifying Him!

Jesus paid it all, so therefore there is nothing on His part that stands between us and all He has paid the price for!

But what are we allowing to stand between us and a deep, daily, moment by moment relationship with Him!

Is it pride in who we are or what we can do, or is it false humility, pretending to be humble but really lifted up in pride in our hearts?

Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Are the desires for the pleasure and goods of this world keeping you from seeing the Lord and Savior face to face deep in your spirit!

1 John 2:16 (KJV)
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

When we receive Jesus as our personal Savior we are redeemed.  Then we must begin to let the Holy Spirit that is alive in us begin to mold us into the person God created us to be.

This means allowing the Holy Spirit complete access to our lives and our innermost beings.  Most of us have no problem with the outward living. We can speak, act and live clean lives.  But it is essential we understand that others look on the outside and we need to show them Jesus, but God looks on the heart!

It is those attitudes and rebellion of thoughts and pride and lust and selfishness and anger and unforgiveness that comes between our soul and our Savior.

I have found through many years of traveling this journey for the Lord, that when the heart is purified and cleansed and there is nothing between our soul and our Savior, the outer walk will line up with God’s powerful word!

What is between you and a pure and true relationship with Jesus.  Is it success, other opinions, possessions, unforgiveness, guilt, or any of a multitude of things?

Whatever is in your heart that is not of God is standing between! I ask you to join me today in releasing all that is not of God to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He will cleanse and purify our hearts so that we have clear communication with Him!

NOTHING BETWEEN, that is may desire, what about you?

I say with the Psalmist David:

Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)
²³  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
²⁴  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

 

Father touch each person who reads this with the desire for clear vision and communications with you. Grant the desire for Nothing Between! In Jesus Mighty name I pray!  Amen

Let Nothing Between!   Love, MeMaw
