I AM Joshua "Healing Through Others"

I think I'm Live how's everyone doing what a day, right? How's everyone feeling today? Irony of plain bittersweet symphony I'm I'm in this like 1980s, 1990s kind of flow. When it comes to music, I've been listening to all of them. Hold on one sec. It's amazing. Very underrated. We, we, I think we could use some hall and Oates, like in our lives right now. Hi, Virginia how are you? You better stop playing And in this music.

So there's so much on my mind right now I've been hiding. The first thing I want to say is God is good. And there's a lot of like an ad. And first of all, congratulations, if your candidate won, of course, I have a really strange feeling that this is far from over God is definitely in control. Yeah, that song is good. So today he had one of the most amazing, magical experiences of my life. And I posted earlier, we reached out to see if anyone wanted to volunteer with us.

Joshua T Berglan

00:01:25

And to be honest with you, I'm kind of grateful that no one showed up, but yeah, it did have someone that was going to come, but you know what? One of the things that's amazing about Jessica, like when I have something to do, I'm one of those people that just go get it done. Like just stay out on my way. I'm getting it done. Not no time for small talk, really. Like I'm just like, get it done. And what I learned today, his Jessica is the same way we had the opportunity to serve today. And I'm not going to go into the details because I'm not looking for any type of like a good job. We were blessed extraordinarily for our experience today.

Joshua T Berglan

00:02:07

And it was a beautiful, like our last beautiful day in Minnesota for a few months, I think. But I was, it hit me today because we were talking, we met this amazing woman that we were able to help today. And I kept looking at her going this she's like, Jessica like, she reminded me of Jessica Like in 50 years. Right. It is about right. I think she was 15 years older than you, but she's in our eighties and Jessica wanted to get her age, like maybe 35 to 40 or 35 to 40 years old, whatever the math is on that she's in her eighties and the whole time I'm looking at her going, Oh my gosh, that's Jessica in, in 40, 30 years or whatever.

Joshua T Berglan

00:03:01

But it, it was so amazing. But the other part of it was just like, her spirit reminded me of my grandma too late. And, and it made me wonder 'cause, you know, like how many of us have lived our life, where, you know, maybe we were selfish and kind of doing our own thing. And maybe family wasn't a big thing to us because we were in a lawsuit in our addiction or last in our own pain or our own mental health. Yeah, you do. Jeremy, you owe me and, and Wendell. You know what? I, I voted for Kanye. So you know what a, I, God bless everybody.

Joshua T Berglan

00:03:41

That's happy. I don't frankly care. I'm I'm just happy for every one. That's happy right now. I'm but the thing is, God is still in control and God is still good. And the president doesn't change my life and it shouldn't change yours either. Like no one has that power over you, unless if you surrender it to him, but this is not a political message. I'm talking about family right now. But how many have you in your addiction, like I'm serious about this when you were lost in your addiction, when you were lost in your own emotional pain, or maybe you were just in a bad mental health cycle or whatever, you neglected the people in your life that matter most, and then they die. And I'm not trying to be like morbid with this because I know this is actually a message of hope, but yeah.

Joshua T Berglan

00:04:27

And how many have you, like, can you say me, can you say whatever? Just like acknowledge it. You know, if this is true for you, but there was someone or people in your life that you neglected and, and like you have regrets about it. I have regrets over the family that I took for granted. Like So my mother's side of the family. And I'm very, very close to my mom. My mom is and angel, but I neglected my mom's side of the family and neglected my aunt and uncle on my mom's side and neglected my grandfather neglected my grandpa and my grandmother Like I took all of that for granted because I was trying to hide My the shame of my addiction and all of the things that I was doing, which was not good at all.

Joshua T Berglan

00:05:19

Like there is no privacy, right. But I pushed them all away. And, and because of that, like, I don't have that same connection that I should know that a lot of family members have. But how many of you were like that today? As I was sitting there and in, in visiting with her, which she, I kept calling her mom and she got mad at me. She was like, call me Bettie. And I'm like, yeah, that's not going to happen. And she goes, well, call me, grandma. And I go, okay, I'll call, I'll call you. And grandma, like the grandmas is a lot easier. So I call her grandma. So it was her. Thank you. Is it Nikita? Nikita is how you say your name?

Joshua T Berglan

00:06:00

That is beautiful, but how many, like, so that happened. Then she said to call my grandma as we're speaking to her, I'm thinking to myself, wow. Like I you can't go back and change the thing's of your past life. You can't go back. And like, obviously if someone's passed away, you can't change that. But go ahead. Does he bring you opportunities to heal those wounds and to fill in those blanks in it? And it comes in the most unexpected ways. And there was some times I believe, and I don't mean to be rude through, and I don't have anything biblical to match this up.

Joshua T Berglan

00:06:41

But if we are all technically spirits in our bodies are just flesh. Some, it kind of felt like I was talking to my own grandma today. And there was something Healing about it. Is that like, yeah, that happened. Like if you ever had that come up for you in your life where somebody that you've met later, it was like, it reminded you. And there was this a piece and maybe there was a, a, a healing moment there that took place today. That happened for me. And I don't mean to it. This is not to disrupt disrespect, my, my grandmother, but she had passed away and there is nothing I can do about it. I can't go back and change that relationship. But it was like today, I kind of got a new grandma and it was kind of Awesome and Like, and I felt like it was with my own way.

Joshua T Berglan

00:07:28

And how cool is that? Right? So it was just curious if that's ever happened to you, but like, I want to tell you right now and what happened if, if you're out there and you're hurting, if you're out there and you, you, you like, you're, you feel like you've lost something. You feel like you, you, you can't really replace the people that could be a friend or a girlfriend or a grandma and aunt and uncle, whatever. You can replace them because they have passed away. But there is something about waking up every morning and asking God, like, who can I serve today? Like, who can I make a difference in their life? Or use me today? How does this amazing way of bringing people into your life at the perfect time to do the perfect thing, regardless of where you are.

Joshua T Berglan

00:08:13

Right? And so I wanted to speak to that. I want to, I felt led to share it because I know there's a lot of people out there that feel alone. There's a lot of people out there that sit there and they missed their parents' that mr. Mom, they missed their dad. You know, I kind of look forward to that moment that I meet somebody. And I kind of get that. How did that with my pastor or where, you know, he was like a father to me and I have that with my step-dad and he was like a father to me. But I look forward to that moment where I get to have that experience with, you know, someone that's like my dad, but I wanted to send this message out because like, God has a funny way of healing things through other people sometimes.

Joshua T Berglan

00:08:53

And it's kind of, it's kind of amazing. So that was it. It's off topic because I'm sure everyone, and everyone wants to talk about the election. And it, it doesn't matter because God is still in control. God is still good. And your life is still there for you to live. Your purpose is still there for you, regardless of who is perceivably in charge, but ultimately it's God and God is in control. So anyway, I hope that message. It made sense. Again, it may not mean anything. It may not register to you. It wasn't meant for everybody.

Joshua T Berglan

00:09:34

It wasn't like one of those pop culture messages where I'm looking to see how many views I can get, because they honestly, it doesn't matter if I had an experience today that was healing. And I know a lot of people that are out there hurting 'cause they lost somebody's and they feel like that can never get 'em back. And maybe in the flesh, you don't get them back. Maybe in the flesh, you don't get them back, but in the spirit wear, everything really matters. As in the spirit, you do get that back and you do get to heal and you do get that chance to like help in the yard. Like, I neglected those opportunities with my grandparents.

Joshua T Berglan

00:10:15

Like I dismissed it and blew it off. And, and, and, you know, like, and I was like, yeah, my grandmother was, I remember it was a little kid. My grandmother taught me how to plant flowers. And like, to this day, one of my favorite things to do is work in the yard. And because it reminds me of my grandmother today got to do that with a woman who reminded me of my grandmother. And it was special. So those opportunities for you to heal those opportunities for you to heal the spirit, your spirit that's hurting, they are there just to ask God for him because they show up. I, I can't explain it. Or they just do 'cause.

Joshua T Berglan

00:10:56

You know what? I needed that today. I need that type of healing and, and, and God delivered it. The other thing too really quick, but really I want to go to the comments. Thank you for Virginia. God sends angels unawares. Often you filled her void. She filled your Cindy. That is so beautifully said.

2

00:11:17

He says, I approve this message. Thank you. I told you it was Healing for us. And it was, it was probably, I don't know who it was more special for Like I it doesn't even matter. It was great.

Joshua T Berglan

00:11:30

The other thing too, I want to thank you, everyone for your prayers. I, I got part of my biopsy back. It's a little freaky, but I don't have the whole thing back and I don't have the whole picture yet, but like I said before, God's in control and I know God's not done with me and, and God has Great, but I do appreciate your prayers. I've had several people reach out and go, okay, so what's going on? Are you better now? Or are you better now? The last two days yesterday, it was out of bed. He felt great. Till about three 30, you got to go put makeup on which I can share why yet? And then today I got to go do something incredibly special to both Jessica and I, but your prayers are fel.

Joshua T Berglan

00:12:13

Your prayers mean a ton. And I am getting stronger every day. And you know what? The a, even the results of the biopsy, I know God is in control and God is not done with me. And that's it. So I am out, Wait, Oh, you guys have to see these hoodies on, check this out. She said she has an amazing woman. Kerrie yes. She's in our heart to check out these hoodies. These are great. How freaking cool. And so, as you know, the Jessica has now the executive director of caring hearts and action, Minnesota, a very proud of her fur that show the back.

Joshua T Berglan

00:12:58

Yeah. She designed it. She's actually designed to all of the swag grief banned because she is going to do that. Is this like the ability in the back? Yeah. And like, literally there are so soft inside and the print, the company that I use this time, the print is impeccable. Like, if it is so perfect, Good quality. I know you can't feel the quality through this. So she's very proud of him and she shouldn't be because they were right. Well, so yeah, if you wanna order one, I had done an online shop or messaged. Jessica a message to me. Alright, thank you for the prayers.

Joshua T Berglan

00:13:38

Thank you for your support. And again, God is here to heal. You. God wants to heal you. And it happens through other people. Sometimes it happens to the most unexpected ways in, but that's why a surrender. Like every time we are trying to control the outcome of everything. And we think that we know what God's will is every time we think we know, like what God's plan is every time we think we know better than God, God has this funny way of kicking us on the butt to make us think differently. But all God wants us to do is surrender.

Joshua T Berglan

00:14:20

Like they will be done. Just trust him, trust him, whatever anxiety you have, whatever hurt you have, whatever Healing you need just trust that he's going to do it in a, it doesn't, he doesn't need money to make things happen. He doesn't need any of that. God will use this people, but just be willing. And you know what? I always talk about obedience. And I talk about it being obedient to the call. I talk about it a lot. And its not like, I'm not talking about the right or wrong kind of obedient. But I think that the most important obedience is when the Holy spirit pulls you a direction.

Joshua T Berglan

00:15:03

It says, yeah, go do that. Do it. Even when it's like, what the heck am I going to go do that for like, that's the last thing I should be doing? Go do it. I got to tell you, it is like you see miracles show up everywhere and people will say, well, there is no miracles that happened in this planet anymore. It's because you lack faith. God is a God of a miracles and miracles happen every single freaking right? Hey every day it happens to people's lives. There is healing. There's a radical healing. And, and, and sometimes it takes a emotional healing for physical healing to take place. It takes Healing in your heart for the rest of you to heal it.

Joshua T Berglan

00:15:47

Like it, it, God is a God of miracles do not give up that. But also don't believe that you are the one in control cars. You're not, this is the minute you surrender that control to him. Your whole life is going to look so much different. I'm not a prophet, not trying to be prophetic. It's just written it in the Bible. It, it matters. And I've seen it happen in my life almost every single day. And it's not always a big miracles, but there were a little miracles and you know what? It's like that constant feed, like we all go to social media for our dopamine, hit you on a real dopamine, hit the one God gives you a kiss. Pretty freaking awesome. So trusting.

Joshua T Berglan

00:16:28

Those are the rules and freaking out right now about what's happening to the world. Calm down. The sun is still shining and God's still in there in control. God bless you guys have an amazing weekend. Peace.
