Inside Out Devotionals

"This is the day which the LORD has made,  let us rejoice and be glad in it"  Psalm 118:24 Some days we wake up kind of mad with the world for no reason... what we don´t realize is that this is NOT NORMAL and it is NOT supposed to be like that! What we don´t realize most of time is that there is a spiritual world surrounding us 100% of the time and it is what really influences our days because -first of all- we are spiritual beings. The GOOD NEWS is that we do not  have to be bound to this bad atmosphere that is causing this turmoil within us, but the Lord has given us DEVICES in order to CHANGE things around us!  One of this weapons is SINGING, WORSHIPING, PRAISING JESUS for the GOOD DAY THAT HE HAS MADE! God makes no "bad day". Therefore, if we happen to wake up in a bad mood, we don´t need to end the day the same way it started!  "Verily I say unto you, what things soever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;  and w

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free..."  Galatians 5:1 Many things in this world are meant to bind us to them. Once I heard this christian guy say that when he was in college his professor once tried to mock him because of his faith in Jesus. His professor said that christians were robbots that were not free to do anything. The christian student replied "you smoke, right? ... well, I don´t. I´ve chosen not to. But, for example, if I WANTED TO I could start smoking, thought I CHOOSE not to. But what about you? If you -wanted to-, could you -easily- QUIT smoking today? So who is the one who is ACTUALLY FREE between the two of us?"  This story illustrates how that the devil will cause people to be bound to habits, diseases, mental conditions (depression, OCD, etc) - things that most of time do not depend on our sole will to get rid of them. But THE GOOD NEWS is: we are not fated to live bound by all these conditions... JESUS´ BLOOD HAS

"Or do you despise the riches of  His kindness and tolerance and patience,  not knowing that the kindness of God  leads you to repentance?"  Rom 2:4 There is a widely spread thought that says that if we don´t decide to get to God through love, we will get to Him through pain! And most of time, those who quote this mean that God will make a way to bring us close to Him, even times of suffering through losses or diseases. But that is not even close to the true message of the GOSPEL! It is funny because the word GOSPEL  means GOOD NEWS. I doubt anyone would say that getting sick, suffering, losing a dear one is GOOD NEWS! God´s nature is LOVE, GOODNESS, KINDNESS, TOLANCE AND PATIENCE. But, as Paul says in Romans 2:4, most of time people despise, think lightly of God´s goodness and INTELIGENCE and WISDOM!... It is not smart to try to bring people closer to you by causing them to SUFFER!... For example, let´s say that you did something bad to me... and t
