The Live Mana Worldwide Foundation Productions presents…. Gratitude:UnFiltered “Unity”

What's up everybody. This is gratitude, dude. Unfiltered. And I'm your host? Joshua T Berglan. Thank you so much for being here tonight. We are broadcasting live. God. I hope so. On the Live Mana Worldwide Network, I've been playing around with new technology today. It has been a wild experience. Oh good. We are alive. I'm just checking out the website. So those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I've been tinkering around with a lot of different technologies, adding chat to the website and the live streams to build this network.

00:02:04

Joshua T Berglan

Because again, Facebook has been such a huge part of our journey, but in the sake of building what it is that God has called us to build, yeah, we're doing different things. So we've integrated a chat. Let me actually scroll over to the chat and see if anyone has entered. Okay. The chat is probably not working yet, but we're going to work on it and get it figured out. Anyway, those of you watching on the monitor worldwide.org, we will get this chat figured out.

00:02:36

Joshua T Berglan

We do literally just integrated it today. So working with a developer to be able to customize the chat, because again, user interaction, realtime feedback, all of that stuff matters a great deal. I want to give a shout out really quick to our sponsors live on a utopia, which is actually, I brought one of the skincare products with me. I have good skin. I do have good skin. I should have good skin because I had a skincare line, but I shouldn't have good skin because I spent most of my life partying like a rockstar.

00:03:07

Joshua T Berglan

But nonetheless, I'm a huge fan of the products that live motto utopia. L I V E M O L I V E M a N a Utoya, which is UT O Y a.com. And this is the facial SERM called baby face. And I dig it. It's one of my favorite products at a skincare line a few years ago, which is actually how I ended up homeless. But, well, actually that's not true. It's not the exact reason, but I made some bad decisions that were centered around that skincare line.

00:03:41

Joshua T Berglan

And yeah, so that's a whole other story, but most of you know that story already. I also want to give a shout out to our other sponsor. I am conchita.com. You can go to E Y E a M C O N C H I T h.com. Use promo code, welcome 10 to save 10% on the brand new lash app and curl, which allows anyone who loves fake lashes or wearing lashes, but has a hard time putting them on. You can actually put these on in five seconds or less anyway.

00:04:11

Joshua T Berglan

So I don't know why I really want the chat to work. That's crazy. So we had some problems with the chat early on, and I'm going to get that figured out. I was hoping I'm going to shut this computer since there's no chat. I was hoping to be able to do this, but we'll try again tomorrow. You know, it's so funny. Like I have this expectation of everything being perfect all the time and it just, it's just not going to be. And I get to look back at two and a half years ago, starting on a phone and to now we have our own network.

00:04:44

Joshua T Berglan

So God is good. And, and I'm grateful for it, even though I'm sweating with frustration right now, I'm trying to get all this worked out and anyway, but I'm grateful for all of you that are here. I'm grateful for all of you that have taken the Pilgra jum, the Pilgrim pilgrimage over from social media to the live model, worldwide network. And also if you've been wondering how you can find us on Apple TV, Roku, and, and Amazon fire, you need to download the E three 60 channel, or it's an app on your streaming device.

00:05:21

Joshua T Berglan

We are powered by the <inaudible> network. What we've done is white labeled the technology. That's how we got our own network, but I'm happy to be in partnership with, and that's a producer. And of course now we have our own network. So anyway, thank you to everyone trying with the chat. Couldn't get it down. I feel like I should apologize because I know some people tried multiple times and customer service and customer satisfaction is something that I really care about even though you're, you know, viewers, you're part of this experience.

00:05:50

Joshua T Berglan

So I don't know. I appreciate everyone trying. So the last 15 episodes of gratitude, unfiltered have been focused on the power of vision. And I, to be honest, I told Jessica this, like towards the last one, last two, I was like, I was ready for it to be over because I don't feel like I don't enjoy repeating myself. And it was starting to get to that place. So I was kind of burnout even though vision and purpose is so important to us talking about it.

00:06:25

Joshua T Berglan

15, 15 episodes in a row was like, come on, give me something else. So the last night I was doing some research and I was just really checking my heart and asking God, what was next? Am I, do I take a break? I just focus on the network or is there something God wants me to talk about? And sure enough, what fell in my lap is unity. We are a world it's easy to say nation.

00:06:55

Joshua T Berglan

We are a nation divided, but I think it is. We're far past that we're far past that I, we are a world divided. You know, we're divided obviously by geographic location, but spiritually, culturally, you know, we have been put in a situation now where, you know, we're blaming other countries for a lot of the craziness that's happened here. And whether it's right or not, I don't know. I'm not going to go down that path.

00:07:27

Joshua T Berglan

But I do know that we were divided at every turn. And then we have the media here in the United States that has been, they're just evil. I don't care what program it is, Fox business, CNN, MSNBC, any of them, they're not giving us, they're not feeding our soul. They're not feeding our spirit. They're feeding the energy that is dividing us. And, and, and, and, and the truth is that everything, since the beginning of time, the, every, everything from the beginning of the very first sin has, has started the process of separating us further and further and further away from who we were created to be who were recreated to be well.

00:08:22

Joshua T Berglan

Like Jesus, the reason why Jesus came here was to show us an example of what living pure is like. It was an example of why we were created, let us make us and let us make them in our image. Speaking of the Holy spirit, Jesus and God. And, and since that sin has happened, we've gotten further and further and further away from our original purpose and, and who we are really meant to be, send us, separated us from God is ultimately what that is.

00:08:59

Joshua T Berglan

And, and that's a problem. And it's showing up in our world in a way that, well, the reason why we see all the turmoil and the angst and the hell and the frustration and all that stuff is because we have so far separated from God now, technology and the conveniences that technology has afforded us, not just in the, the media side of things, but technology has also separated us. Everything's more convenient. We are not working as a community anymore. We have been separated and divided from man and put in isolation.

00:09:32

Joshua T Berglan

The world has changed, but the good news is that everything that the enemy has used to try to destroy us and to separate us from God, we get to use for God's glory. We get to use as victory. We get to use it as revenge on the enemy, and that's what we're going to do today.

00:09:53

<inaudible>

00:10:07

Joshua T Berglan

So let's get into it. That's a, that's get started with, start with the unity series. This is from Frank Demassio dynamics, dynamic effects of spiritual unity, heavenly father. Wow. What a last series that was. And, and I just, I'm grateful for having the opportunity to teach that and learn while teaching. I asked tonight, Lord, that your spirit speaks through me, flows through me and gives me the words to say the message of hope, the message of unity, bringing us back to where we were supposed to be from the beginning, why you sent your son to die on the cross for our sins.

00:10:45

Joshua T Berglan

It was not about dividing us. It was bringing us back to center, bringing us back to what we were originally created to be. And, and, and, and, and as much as that makes us whole, the only thing that's ever going to bring us back together is the love of Jesus and father. I asked that this episode that this broadcast and every broadcast moving forward does nothing but unify the body of Christ, the way that you have called us to do in Jesus name. Amen. All right.

00:11:16

Joshua T Berglan

So here we go. United, we stand divided. We fall. This is true in every level of society, ministry, government, business management, and home. It is also true in the church. The body of Christ we have made, we have a mandate from scripture that we should be a specific kind of church. In previous messages, we identified seven clear goals for our church to pursue.

00:11:48

Joshua T Berglan

And we're going to go back to that. Actually, when we live in unity, we, the perfect relationship and the Godhead father, son, and Holy spirit. We are one in spirit, one in purpose, one in passion for the kingdom of God. If we are focused on our own private agendas, how can the kingdom flourish? Here's the thing. So we talk about purpose. It's my purpose. It's my calling. It's my vision.

00:12:19

Joshua T Berglan

Well, yes, but hopefully when you say that, you're actually meaning it's God's purpose for my life and God's vision for my life, because ultimately God knows better than we do. That's why God's timing. Oh, God, God's timing always proves to be better than ours every time, every time, but our purpose and for the King, our purpose is not even about us. It's about other people. It's our gift that we've been given by God.

00:12:51

Joshua T Berglan

When we were born, we were all born with gifts and how we use our gifts to be a blessing to other people, how we contribute to society, how we contribute to the body of Christ the church. So if we were focused on our own private agendas, how will the kingdom flourish? It won't, If we all play our role in the kingdom, I promise you, we will not have this division in the world. We will not have it.

00:13:22

Joshua T Berglan

We will start to unify. And that's why we're doing this. Mark Twain used to say, he put a dog and a cat and a cage together as an experiment to see if they could get along. They did. So we put in a bird, a pig, and a goat. They too got alone long, fine with a few adjustments. Then he put it in a Baptist Presbyterian and a Catholic soon, there was not a living thing left.

00:13:53

Joshua T Berglan

Yeah, pretty much you can throw in any other religion in there too. And that's true, but this is the thing if the Christian Church, but you know, the people that follow Jesus and worship Jesus and read the Bible, and Proceq a relationship with them every day. If they don't get their act together and unify, then no one else will no one else will. I always say, you know, as Hollywood goes, the world goes, man. I mean that like, it has a mega mega influence.

00:14:25

Joshua T Berglan

And that's why Hollywood needs Jesus. But the church itself needs to unify because their messages are all crisscrossed. And it's like, there's no unity. There's no, there's no like agreement. It's everyone has their different opinions because they're stuck on the rules instead of the relationship. And that crap has got to stop. We'll never going to change the world the way that we're going to change the world In a way that is going to benefit all of us until we get our act together and start quit focusing on the religion crap and start focusing on the relationship, focus on first of all, our own crap, like we are so quick to judge and lash out at other people.

00:15:12

Joshua T Berglan

We are so quick to tell them that they're doing this wrong, or they're doing that wrong. Or, you know, what about looking inside and starting to be honest with ourselves and who we are, who we were created to be. And I promise you, most of the people that are spending their time, pointing the finger at other people and how they're doing this and that wrong have, is not looked inside about how they are showing up in the world. Are they living in their purpose? Are they living?

00:15:43

Joshua T Berglan

Are they being the person that they were created to be? Are they too busy judging others? And I don't care how much, you know, the Bible. I don't care how much, like what kind of a biblical scholar you are at that has nothing to do with your relationship. And it has nothing to do with kind of fruit. Your biblical knowledge is not producing fruit. It's your relationship in your obedience that is going to produce fruit. So what's your fruit. What kind of fruit are you producing?

00:16:13

Joshua T Berglan

Honest question coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford, the anointing on any of us is not as powerful as the anointing on all of us. Let me say that again. The anointing on any of us is not as powerful as the anointing on all of us. Unity helps overcome the insurmountable and reach the unchurched, unachievable, unity to us, the power to make the impossible and to change dreams.

00:16:50

Joshua T Berglan

To reality, we can't do it alone. You're starting a business. You have an idea. You've started a nonprofit. You you've started a ministry. You can't do it alone. You need a team. You need unity, but you cannot unify people. Unless if you are living in what God called you to be, you're never going to unify anyone. I mean, this goes back to truth too. If you, if you're not living in truth, you're not going to be able to unify anybody because you can't, you not unify anybody on a foundation of lies.

00:17:29

Joshua T Berglan

It won't happen. The calling of every congregation is to be one that lives in harmony, working together with one heart and one soul and a unified vision that causes us to be perfectly joined together. Thus not allowing unresolved offenses to separate us because we are one in spirit in one and purpose gathered together. Phrases suffer together, sing together. Well, there's nothing like singing together.

00:18:00

Joshua T Berglan

It's amazing. You're talking about worship. You can worship on your own, but when you worship with other people joined together, Oh, worship together, stand together, flow together. I love this one. Pray together. That's essential, praying together. Pray. Prayer changes things, praying with other people. It ignites things agree together, planted together, laborers together, framed together, quickened together, bound together, necessary attitudes to maintain spiritual unity, Ephesians four, one through three.

00:18:45

Joshua T Berglan

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called with all lowliness and gentleness with long suffering bearing with one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace. Attitude is a settled mode of thinking, including beliefs, convictions, and opinions, which dictates behavior, the heart or spirit of a man that influences his total life.

00:19:21

Joshua T Berglan

The direct result of our character and can be changed and shape. The attitude. Indicator is the most important instrument used for attitude flying. It is placed in the most prominent position on the aircraft instrument panel. It indicates the position of an aircraft in relation to the horizon. Attitude of the airplane indicates its performance. The attitude must change in order to change the performance. Life is 10%. What happens to us and 90% of how we respond to it.

00:19:55

Joshua T Berglan

The most significant decision I can make on a day to day basis is my choice of attitude. Straight up the blessing is in the braking. Remember that like, think about that. That's a paradox, right? Like how in the world is being broken, a blessing. You break a bone. What happens? It grows back stronger. You think about all of the hardships that God has brought you through. Did it not make you stronger? Well, how about this one? And I love that it's talking about an airplane here, focusing on the things that you do have, and not what you don't, that's an attitude choice.

00:20:31

Joshua T Berglan

I'm choosing to be grateful for what I've been blessed with. Instead of focusing on what I don't have. Like, I don't have a chat feature that works right now. I'm frustrated about it. I know this is a, so it's a petty example, but it's a realtime example. Like I'm frustrated. I was sweating before the show because I wanted this feature to work. I'm so ready to integrate this fully. Wait, not time yet. It gets to be perfected it's okay. Okay. I still get to do the show. I still am blessed to, I mean, I remember when I didn't have a microphone and now even have a light that I can travel with, but I mean, it's your attitude, you know, you wake up in the morning and you know, like, it's just, you stub your toe first thing out of the morning, right?

00:21:17

Joshua T Berglan

Or you wake up in the morning and you're out of coffee. And then you're just, just like, you can choose to be upset all day long. And again, these are petty examples, but you know what? It's petty crap like that, that ruins most people's day. And that's the truth. Life is 10%. What happens to us and 90% of how we respond to it, how we respond, says more about our character and where we are at spiritually than I think anything else, because life will come at you.

00:21:50

Joshua T Berglan

How we respond to even triggers that we get the taunts from the enemy. How do you respond to it? Well, you can respond by taking authority over your mind and your thoughts, The right attitude about unity. Unity is not uniformity. We do not have to be utterly alike and we're not. We should celebrate each other's differences. Our unique differences are gifts from God.

00:22:22

Joshua T Berglan

That's why we should celebrate them. I think the more we celebrate people's differences, the more we realize we're all the same. Even saying that it doesn't even make sense, but it's true. We all have the same fears. We have the same worries. We all deal. We have, you know, whether it's children or relationship issues, we all deal with that. With we, with our identity and God like who we are trying to figure out who we were created to be, what's my purpose.

00:22:53

Joshua T Berglan

We all kind of, we all deal with the same issues. Now mind you, in some parts of the world, they're dealing with running away from bombs that are unnecessarily being shot at them. They're dealing with a level of poverty that most of us will never understand, But fears and concerns and insecurities all alike. Yeah, we're the same. We must find ways to integrate our differences and to a symphonic role, creating singleness of heart, unity and diversity.

00:23:27

Joshua T Berglan

Ooh, I like that. Unity in diversity at an international seminar held in Australia, Aboriginal speaker, Eddie Kneebone explained the sense of importance. His people were able to impart to their children when they lived in the old way of their land, a feeling of insignificance or despair, leading to suicide all too common today among young adults was an unlikely then because of a unique custom at a certain predetermined time, a young person would spell them, really entrusted with the secret piece of knowledge information that could prove vital to the tribe's survival.

00:24:07

Joshua T Berglan

It might be the location of a hidden waterhole in one area of their territory. It might be the medicinal powers of a certain plant CBD. It's true mushrooms Benefits to that too. Just saying, This is why I'm not a pastor, because I think pastors would get in trouble for saying such things. But I believe in the healing powers of mushrooms, No one else in the tribe would be given that piece of important knowledge or when the time came, this young person would be expected to contribute it for the welfare of all.

00:24:51

Joshua T Berglan

Imagine concluded at a what a sense of importance and belonging. This custom gave our young people. Each of them had a unique place. Each had an undeniably important role to play. That's sweet. I love that unity is supernatural. It begins with people who have the Holy spirit and have a right heart towards Jesus and his purposes. Unity cannot be destroyed. It should be guarded at all costs.

00:25:22

Joshua T Berglan

Proverbs 10, 12, hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins. Love is the only way that we will unify Love is the only way we will heal the wounds of our generational sense. Love is the only way And the perfect example of love as Jesus, Whether you believe him and believe in him or not, whether you believe he died on the cross or not.

00:25:54

Joshua T Berglan

Jesus stills, the perfect example of love. What other man willingly died for you?

00:26:01

3

What other men <inaudible>

00:26:07

Joshua T Berglan

Yeah, I was gonna go off on a tangent there, but I'm not Proverbs 13, 10 by pride comes nothing but strife, but with the well-advised is wisdom. Proverbs 26, four do not answer a fool. According to his folly, lest you also be like him. Proverbs 29, 22, an angry man, stirs up strife and a furious man, abounds and transgression fusions four 14 that we could no longer be children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

00:26:51

Joshua T Berglan

There's a lot of wicked doctrine and false doctrine being spread all over the world right now. I would imagine that it's really confusing. Heck even in our, you know, our own churches, you know, we see it all the time and, and look, I, I'm not like I'm not one of those people that's going to start calling out churches. Cause I don't get into all that. And honestly, I don't think that, I mean, that's a dangerous place to be because how do you really know?

00:27:24

Joshua T Berglan

I mean, I think the Holy spirit is what reveals to you and it gives you the discernment that you need to be able to go. I don't know about that. Or you know, you know what I received that, okay, I'm on, I'm on to that revelation. I like that. But this is why the relationship is so important because the relationship, the relationship keeps you from going to and fro, you know what I'm saying? Romans 14 three, let not him who eats, despise him, who does not eat and let, not him who does not eat.

00:27:59

Joshua T Berglan

Judge him who eats for God has received him. The Atlantic monthly told about superstar, tenors, Jose Carreras, placebo, Domingo, and low Siano Pavarotti performing together in Los Angeles. A reporter tried to press the issue of competitiveness between the three men. You have to put all of your concentration into opening your heart to the music. To me, no Domingo said you can't be rivals when you're together making music. It's such a beautiful quote.

00:28:31

Joshua T Berglan

You have to be, you have to put all of your concentration into opening your heart, to the music. You can't be rivals when you're together, making music well, aren't we all making music for God. Like what more beautiful. The harmony is there than all of us living in flow, living in our purpose, all playing our vital important roles in the body of Christ. How many right attitude about the local church?

00:29:06

Joshua T Berglan

Why? I believe in my local church, the church is the only institution dealing with the ultimate issues. Death, judgment, relationships, purpose, lasting priorities, meaning in life, identity, heaven and hell

00:29:22

3

<inaudible>.

00:29:27

Joshua T Berglan

Yeah, well I here's the thing. I actually think the church is missing a few subjects that it needs to cover, but judgment discrimination, racism. It's doing better. Starting to speak up. I think some people were saying, you know what? I'm not worried about my five Oh one C three anymore. I'm all in. And they're committed to doing the right thing and I love that, but we need to do better. The church provides perspective that gives dignity to mankind.

00:29:59

Joshua T Berglan

We live in a day in which man has become a means rather than an end. This creates a desperate sense of inner worthlessness. The church counteracts this indigent insidious message. The church provides a moral and ethical compass in the midst of relativism, like a swamp of murky slimy water. Our society has rethought, resisted and completely rejected absolutes. Not the church is still stands on the timeless bedrock of scripture.

00:30:30

Joshua T Berglan

Again, not all but some that's the goal of the church. Anyway, the church is the only place to find true community healing, compassion, and love.

00:30:41

3

<inaudible>

00:30:44

Joshua T Berglan

I don't know if that's the only place it is here. It is here. People care really care. Not because of status or money, but because of the spirit of God, because the spirit of God is at work, weaving together the lives within the body. Okay? So there's a couple things in here that I don't agree with. Just letting you know, or it's like, okay, this is what it's supposed to be. And if we are, if the church is in its true identity, then this is true. But some churches have lost their identity.

00:31:18

Joshua T Berglan

They become more money focused, more flash and pizzazz and entertainment value, and a good it's going to be entertained. I believe. Cause it's what keeps you paying attention. But we, everything I'm reading right now, it's, it's, it's truly, and I mean, this sincerely it's when the church has its identity of full gospel church. This is what a full gospel church delivers like my church. What of God, church, which will be on right after us.

00:31:49

3

<inaudible>

00:31:52

Joshua T Berglan

The church. Like no other institution has provided motivation for the most lasting unselfish, essential courageous ministries on earth schools, hospitals, halfway houses, orphanages, lepro sorry, ism and missions. What? Look back over the list. Think each one through. See if it doesn't thrill you to realize you were connected with such significant arm of strength. No, it isn't perfect. You're part of it. Aren't you?

00:32:22

Joshua T Berglan

And it hasn't always modeled its message. Okay, good. At least corrected itself. A man is stranded. A man was stranded on the proverbial deserted Pacific islands for years. Finally, one day a boat sails into view and a man, frankly, waves drawing the Skipper's. The boat landed at the Island and the skipper greeted the stranded man. The stranded man showed the skipper where he had been living in the skipper, asks with a puzzled expression. Why do you have three houses? That's not three houses. The man replied.

00:32:53

Joshua T Berglan

The first one is my house. I built the church next door. What about the third hut? Oh, that's where I used to go to church. Oh my gosh. That's ridiculous.

00:33:08

0

<inaudible>

00:33:22

Joshua T Berglan

Seven absolute unity attitudes. Ephesians four, one through three. I therefore the prisoner of the Lord boosts seat. You to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called with all lowliness and gentleness with long suffering bearing with one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of spirit and the bond of peace wisdom says never trust. Anyone who cannot maintain longterm friendships, attitude of humility.

00:33:53

Joshua T Berglan

Lowliness humiliation in mind. I'm sorry. Humiliation of mind, modesty having a humble opinion of oneself and a deep sense of one's moral littleness. I'm working on the humble and humility part. I'm better than I used to be, but I still wrestle with it because there is a balance I think of, you know, having being bold and having confidence and being determined and being, you know, self confident enough that when the, the doubters and haters and the, you know, people that criticize you when you're on your journey, you know, it, it's hard not to buck up and go, I'll show you.

00:34:39

Joshua T Berglan

I mean, there was a big part of me that has that I'll show you thing going on really does attitude of kindness and gentleness, meekness, gentleness, treating others with kindness kind treatment. Mildness equitable, moderate, not insisting upon the letter of the law. I'm getting better. Like the quality of that. I'm going to go back to that, the quality that enables a person to suffer wrong and not reliable murmur or criticize, but to commit themselves and their circumstances to God who committing your circumstances.

00:35:15

Joshua T Berglan

God, I love that the, the not insisting upon the letter of the law, that's what discipline. So like as a parent, I, I, this is what I think of, well also as a leader, this applies, you know, I've being a parent is something I'm, don't really have experience in. And this is the honest to God truth in the six months that I've known Jessica in, in, in our, in our children and kind of getting to step into that role of getting, you know, being a father figure, even though I'm not their father, but I love them.

00:35:59

Joshua T Berglan

Like they're my own children. And one of the things that I'm having to learn is like, you know, I got away with a lot, but I was sneaky, but I got away with more when my parents got divorced BMI, but my father was very, very strict and regimen. And we got, you know, disciplined severely and yada yada yada dump, not going to go into saying anything negative about my father. Cause I love my father, but it, it was kind of a militant military structure and didn't always end up being very pretty, leave it at that.

00:36:37

And so I didn't like, that's what I learned. Right. And so if things weren't done a certain way, you know, I used to be really, really hard on, on my daughter before, you know, we parted ways. And you know, in like in my understanding of being a parent was always just like strict disciplinarian. That's my way or the highway, you know, you, you're going to do it this way. And I've, I've learned through now maybe maturing a little bit and now being around Jessica's children, that that's not really the way it's supposed to work.

00:37:18

Joshua T Berglan

Sometimes you get to show kids, grace. I mean, yes, you're going to be respectful. Yes, you're going to, you know, do things the right way. But if they're not perfect or they are on a sugar high and they're acting a little goofy and silly, there's no reason to scold them or discipline or, you know, spank them now. And I don't even believe in spanking anymore, but I think it's because I don't know my own strength and I would like severely hurt somebody, but that's another story, but not insisting upon the letter of the law. I find very, very interesting in this text.

00:37:50

Joshua T Berglan

And that speaks to me because you know, we, again, when we're parenting, I think we get to show some grace and, you know, allow kids to make mistakes, allow kids to not be perfect, allow kids to figure out some things on their own. We can't protect our kids from everything which I'm learning the hard way. Well, the hard way, but in a good way. Yeah. Attitude of long suffering, long suffering fortitude patients with a long enduring temper to be long spirited use to describe a long distance runner.

00:38:25

Joshua T Berglan

And this is the, these are seven absolute unity attitudes. So these are the kinds of attitudes we need to have in dealing with other people, especially for wanting to unify this isn't church. This isn't work. This is an everything we do attitude of. Forbearing bearing one with bearing one with another and love bearing with one's another's faults, making allowances for one another, because of love. I love that steadily pouring yourselves out for each other and acts of love, alerting that noticing differences in quick, at mending fences, you were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction.

00:39:06

Joshua T Berglan

So stay together, both outwardly and inwardly.

00:39:13

Joshua T Berglan

That's really cool. I'm wondering how, how many of you that are watching right now? And if we had chat, we'd be able to respond in real time, but like pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, like, what is it like your coworker, right? Coworkers, people in your church, no matter what it is that you're doing, like how often do you pour or, or pour into somebody with love, like an act of kindness, an act of love, you know, even a compliment.

00:39:43

Joshua T Berglan

Did you practice this number five? An attitude of love, love responsibility, deliberate principle of the mind, deliberate conquest and achievement of the will power to love the unlovable. God's kind of love. Number six, attitude of endeavoring endeavoring to exert oneself, to give diligence, to hasten, to be zealous active, concerned about something, to treat respectfully a serious effort.

00:40:18

Joshua T Berglan

Number seven, I love this one, an attitude of peace bond of peace chains that keep unity peace, peace brought between individuals harmony, Concord, to be a peacemaker to harmonize. Are you a peacemaker? Romans 14, nine, four to this end Christ died and Rose and lived again that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. What time is it?

00:40:49

Joshua T Berglan

This is seven dynamic results of spiritual unity. And let's see, before we go into this, you know what I'm going to get us started. And then we'll finish. We'll do the rest tomorrow. The seven dynamic results of spiritual unity, a unified church fulfills God given vision scriptures, Nehemiah four 16 through 19. So it was from that time on that half of my servants worked at construction while the other half held the Spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor.

00:41:23

Joshua T Berglan

And the leaders were behind all the house of Judah. Those two built on the wall and those who carried burdens loaded, loaded themselves. So that with one hand they worked at construction and with the other hand held a weapon. Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side, as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me. Then I said to the Nobles, the rulers and the rest of the people, the work is great and extensive.

00:41:54

Joshua T Berglan

And we are separated far from one another on the wall.

00:42:00

00:42:09

Joshua T Berglan

Genesis 11, five through seven, but the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, indeed, the people are one and they have one language. And this is what they begin to do. Now, nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come let us go down and confuse their language that they may not understand. One another speech exalting the Lord by dynamic, Holy spirit, inspired worship, praise and prayer, giving our time, talents and gifts as the, an offering to the Lord.

00:42:46

Joshua T Berglan

Number three, equipping the church to fulfill her destiny with godly vision, biblical teaching and pastoral ministries, bringing believers to maturity in Christ and effective ministry resulting in a restored triumph church. Church has changed. The church has been flipped on its head. It's been blown up, it's left the building like this is a ministry now, right? But you think about talk shows and events and all of the different forms of ministry, ministry, cooking show, which I'm still waiting to see.

00:43:19

Joshua T Berglan

I'm there's somebody that I believe needs this. I have an idea for a Christian cooking show. Love to help you create it anyway. But like, but in the end, it's, it's still it's it's w the church can come together with these new style of ministries. I think there's so many people out there that are so hungry for a different kind of ministry that people are starting to step up and take advantage of these unique opportunities in this unique time where there's been a lot of downtime.

00:43:53

Joshua T Berglan

There's been a lot of people that have lost jobs, and it feels like, Oh my gosh, my life is over. Well, what if this was your time to start your type of ministry? You can glorify God in anything you do and everything you do. And all of you, I believe have a ministry inside of you. That's been waiting to be born. So this is the last one I'm gonna do extending the kingdom of God through the church, to our city and our nation and the world through aggressive evangelism, training leaders, planting churches, and sending missionaries and mission teams.

00:44:31

Joshua T Berglan

So for me, this is kind of the purpose, not kind of, it's part of the purpose of what we're doing with live model worldwide, which is

00:44:57

Joshua T Berglan

I'm having fun with buttons today. Anyway, it's our mission to elevate the voices of the voiceless, the people that are speaking life into others to create this ripple effect of change of good and inspiring unfiltered gospel, the real stuff, not hiding from mistakes, letting them out, letting them go.

00:45:30

Joshua T Berglan

We're no longer holding ourselves prisoner with these awful thoughts about ourselves or our past, or screw ups or whatever. I don't care what you did three hours ago. Like Jesus still loves you. And, and, and it doesn't change that you, you, you have an opportunity to repent and to confess and to shift your thinking and to shift from beating yourself up. This is what Jesus died for you for to relieve you of that sin.

00:46:04

Joshua T Berglan

That's the beauty of it. Let it go. Surrender it anyway. Alright guys, that's it for tonight. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be back at 5:00 PM instead of the five 30 that we did today, but I'm grateful for all of you being here and yeah. Hopefully we'll have a chat. God bless you guys again. Thank you for being here, having the father. Thank you so much for this broadcast.

00:46:36

Joshua T Berglan

Thank you. I hope it was able to send the message that you wanted to deliver tonight. And I just thank you for your goodness Lord, and I thank you for the opportunity, the opportunity to be used for your purpose and Lord. I know that everyone that's watching and listening right now, you gave a unique and powerful purpose to help them realize that. So they step into it and own it and take action today. We love you Lord in Jesus name. Amen. All right, good night, everyone.
