Lord, help me to end well. - yes, LORD, that's a prayer i need to pray each morning.
Josh is a good communicator, not just musically, but verbally. His words bring life.
Christ brings life.
Wow! Josh if you ever see this I want you to know how immensely helpful this has been to me. I’ve been going through my own crisis moment and it has led to a great surrender and trust in the Lord. Your talk is giving me language to express my experiences. I can testify from personal experience that what you are saying is true and spot on. Thank you and God bless you!
Josh's music is even starting to touch my husband . With Josh's music and lyrics. For my husband has been a bass player for 30 yrs and has been kinda a local celebrity in Central Illinois playing classic rock and some original music . My husband is really getting the scales removed from his eyes with prayers and of course God's doing. He actually asking me about this song or that song of Josh's and wants me to play it to listen too. Josh you are touching so many people with your music and your storytelling lyrics . May Jesus keep you humble and keep making music to bring more to christ . You are a servant and tool for christ .hallelujah! Brother in christ .
Well, I've just really recently discovered this guy, and imagine my surprise to find out he was born in my same home town, and has moved back to where I went to college!
and his music is moving me so deeply and listening to him speak has moved me even more
Thank you God for what you're doing throughout the Earth bring the sound that's needed for the great harvest❤
Only been introduced to Josh Garrels for a little over a month, but the inspiration I received through his music is astounding. This is the second speaking video I've seen and this one, by far, hit home. Since I am 66 years old, I'm not looking to build something now, but I know I am getting closer to the end of my race. Like Josh, I pray that I will finish well, even better than when I started.
I pray that Matthew 20:1-16 will have a refreshing, new revelation of blessing for you that speaks directly to you right now
hey 66 is still young, look at the OT and see how old Abraham and Sarah were, Moses, Noah. You can be used any age for Christ! Do not think you are out or it is too late, I work for a major Christian company and a man who was 83 and use to be a pastor is training pastors in latin america. it is never to late and you are never to old, be encouraged my friend!
68 now - if you haven’t gotten started yet, look to the Lord to show you how to build and what to build. In the Bible, what do elders - the more mature - do?
He is a gem
Josh is an amazing singer. After watching this, I see a humble and gentle man. This really spoke to me.
This was the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a while. Such important truth.
Wow. I have been in a lousy mood listening to the enemy while working, working, working. And feeling exhausted, I played music to distract myself. I was listening to Needtobreathe and I was feeling it but I knew the song would end.
I taught ‘what musicians music could help’ and Josh Garrels pops in my head.
I listened and l started thinking about him as a person. His music shines and it speaks and it declares God. God, the one I need.
Still my battle is hard for me and I looked up ‘Josh Garrels interview’ cause I need wonder if I’m going to keep fighting the good fight.
Then I click on this video.
Wow. This was packed with so much. There was definitely wonder but to hear Josh Garrels say, disappointment from making it in your career is bound to happen and God, God is the one truly to be wonder filled for, is something that has made me stop. Stop just always exhausted and complaining and look up
Psalm 121
Hi Yesica. Completely same story here. There are no accidents we are/were here. Keep fighting the good fight! :)
This comment speaks volumes ty God give you. Comfort
I hope God is still wowing you! 🥲 🙏🏻🙌🏻
His voice is like his music; melodious and soothing
He's also a great lyricist
Thank you Ocean Programs.
Josh Garrels remains my favourite musician, I'm not sure I've heard him speak in a conference before, or even share his heart, in speech for such an amount of time, I've only heard short interviews and suchlike. So to have this opportunity to hear him speak is a blessing.
Thank you Josh Garrels.
Ditto Ben!
Wow. I resonate deeply. So thankful for this message. God bless you and keep you close, Josh.
Love this guy! This is just what I needed to hear today! Thank you Josh!
It probably sounds silly, but I wish I could play your music from speakers in the sky so the whole world could hear it. I feel sure a miracle would occur.
Very true. Most powerful lyrics.
Holy smokes, Josh described my background when he described his own.
The internet doesn’t care but I had to record that very surreal experience.
I care
Ryan Tandy well that’s because you’re and awesome dude, Ryan. 🤛
@@TheBBear86 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Good thing you got out of Portland when you did. Way to hear, listen to and heed God's voice.
Your comment is just an example of the noise he was describing that's harmful to people.
My husband and I really appreciate Mr. Garrel’s music and testimony. Thank you Josh for articulating the various seasons and pressures you have faced as well as your victorious rest in Him. You are epitomizing Galatians 2:20 for us “for it is no longer I who live but Christ. For I have been crucified with Christ and the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Literally God's direction!!!
@@nic8671 how?? by getting out of portland. which is a terrible city to live in.
I just discovered your Train Song, and so enjoy and appreciate the nuances of quieter sounds - the underlying call abounds in the bigger message - which is of course, by itself, a deafening call to know Him deeper, personally, for who HE is not, what we may have thought or possibly made Him. What a great share and testimony Josh... thank you! May God use you to deliver a song to change the world....
"The noise around you,
is drowning out the quiet parts"
Thank you Josh for your honesty. We are all struggling. The music you make has been a great encouragement in my life.
What ever you have been gifted by God to serve God in this earth do you best staying in faith and fear of God. God bless you and guide you all body of Christ . AMEN.
And of course none of us will do that perfectly. But as you rightly point out, God will bless and guide us. We are utterly dependent on Him. And even when we go against Him, he is faithful to bring us back to Himself. We are a people so secure, not because of our success' but rather because He is faithful. And again you're right. God has blessed Him, and moreover has used Josh to be a blessing to you and me. It's wonderful.
thank you so much for this wonderful video. My wife and I have followed Josh since Love & War and the Sea Inbetween. All praise to God. So appreciate Josh's heart, and openness to share as he has.
There are songs by Josh that feel like the Lord inspired to minister to me. He knew I'd be listening to them one day. The Holy Spirit led me to this today. I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏
I agree! His music is anointed! How we know is it has personal messages in it for each of us! 🔥
Josh's music really carries colours in them.
My Favorite musician. The music is so beautiful ! Best best best !
Yep!
Hallelujah!! "An industry that's built on loudness"
Pretty much with everything else when it takes away the intimacy with God factor.
Wow! That just jumped at me!
Thanks Josh.
THANK YOU JOSH!!
“In my time with HIM I accomplished more faster and in a way where I felt like I was in my stride and enjoying the thing again.”
Peace Be Still!
First time for making a serious youtube comment. I have watched this two times and definitely think Josh could make a worldwide impact based on his talent and desire to put his relationship with the creator as his first priority and to seek creative inspiration from Him. He did mention the idea of writing a song that could circle the globe, but possibly this message if implemented by the 562 people that liked it could change the world forever. Jesus only had 12 disciples. For another approach to it, I recommend reading Brother Lawrence "The Practice of the Presence of God" (they did not have youtube back then).
I totally respect this man .Humility ,is often absent. GOD BLESS YOU JOSH ,I hear so much TRUTH to this MESSAGE 🙏🙌❤ ty Father .
Josh, your music came to me in a very lonely season back when I lived in Birmingham AL for a few years, where I met the Lord, and when I first came to your music. It comforted and grounded me more than I realized, looking back at it now.
Josh your words with melody and without surely inspire every time. Thank you for listening to that small voice.
Yeah, there's some really good advice in this I think. I ended up copying him, in terms of going for a drive, and just being still before the Lord, and can attest to it as a really good, and healthy thing to do, as a creature, dependent on a Creator.
@@NavyJonesMusicShorts I totally agree.
Overcomers become the Bride at His side, . . . “To him who overcomes I shall give to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Rev 3:21.
HalleluYah! Bo Yeshua! Wonderful Pilgrimage in Messiah. Our testing, aka REFINING, is such a sweet blessing of suffering trials and coming out above them without midway escapism or bailing out or begging for deliverance too soon. Once led to the place of overcoming we are often led to being still and overcoming greater things to His glory. He is always forming us. So grateful for Josh's music and this testimony by which, with the Blood of Messiah, will save. Again, HalleluYah! Amein 🌼
Yeah that wake of men and women, who have destroyed their lives, is the reason the Lord made me pray that, if musical success would take me away from Him, then I wouldn't be granted it. Nothing yet. And that's for the best. Everything works together for good, for those who love God, and are called according to his purpose.
This really blessed me.
Moving word Josh. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Very much agreed
I once read....Thomas Merton, maybe.....that music is made from rhythms. Rhythm is created from sound in-between absences of sound. Therefore, if there is no absence of sound there is no rhythm: no music. We must all be found in life making music, seeking a rhythm in our relationship with our Father.
Praying for you Josh and your ministry. Use the gifts that God has given you. Looking forward to hearing the song that changes the world's heart.
I try listen to Revelator from Josh every day to stay grounded and focus on what the ultimate goal is.
Helping me a lot brother Josh your music has blessed me and has helped me through this hard time I've been having health wise. And this also helped me in musical journey for Christ.
Whem music, no, when God speaks to you through music, which was not even my style, has such an intense meaning and revelation that changes your life. Thank you God and Josh Garrels.
That was "Gold"... thank you Josh!!...."Be still and know that I AM God!!
Josh your music has been speaking to me for years and now your speaking moves me. I needed to hear this today. Praying He gives you lyrics to move the world closer to Him. God Bless
I want to learn to sing your Soulful "arrow!". Your style of voice is a challenge! I hope I can persevere...
Everything you say along with your music resonates deeply with me. The Lord has anointed you for sure. God bless your beautiful family and you.
How succinct and well spoken. Just found Mr. Garrels through the movie Tulsa. I've listened to Phil Driscoll for years and now Josh is added.
Thank you Lord Jesus. I needed this for helping inform a fine art project I'm working on.
So encouraging. Thank you Josh. I love what you had to say about the full surrender. Praying for continued surrender in my life and yours.
Wonderful Winston. I know myself, it's super easy to grasp at what I think the Lord is giving me rather than trusting that He has what's best for me and will supply what I need always, in spite of what I do or do not do. I suppose my question to you would be if I don't surrender to Him, will he cause me to surrender?
Love your music Josh! You qre one of the very very few i listen to. Im fom marion indiana only 40 minutes qway. Glad to have you back in indiana
What and inspiring talk! Thanks for sharing your heart and walk with the Lord.
Josh needs to start a podcast
I never knew there was a meaning to this ear busyness of mine!
Thank you so much for this message it rings clarify to a lot of things I am going through 🙏
Thanks Josh. Hope to see you at Alliance or somewhere in Muncie
it's like getting caught up in the Christmas "machine" I had luv'd Christmas but it got too Crazy. So had to UNPLUG from the $hopping, parties, baking, events, etc. to enjoy the true spirituality of it. Classical 🎶 - Handel's Messiah was essential.
You're amazing speaking the truth in words and song.... i wish the world would hear the words . We are in trouble
Love it Josh - keep up the good work. Love the comments at 7:15... so true. 22:30 is also so great.
love this dude!
Beyond words thankful for this 😭
Josh thank you this was very much needed words and advise in these times for me
I keep looking to see when Josh will be performing in the area. Since I'm Indiana grown myself, can't wait for a local gig. Covid has disrupted some things, but Gods Word is still going forth, and his sweet melody is an instrument in doing so. The Word can not be silenced 📖. Can't wait!
Incredible insight. Brings tears
God keeps taking my car... I think best when moving or driving or ripping out the old garden... but driving is my thing & he keeps taking my car! and my job - he took that too... went thru burn out but didnt get the chance to think about it!
So beautiful. Praise God!!! He is so faithful to His people🙌💜
Josh is the male equivalent to Steffany Gretzinger. Both are called to minister to the Savior.
AMEN !!!
thanks
Beautiful message
Thanks for the insight brother
Loved it. Great stuff. Much Love.
Thank you Josh. This resonated deeply.
Wow is this a timely message.
Wow this was amazing. So so real.
Arian Armstrong - I know her too! She actually introduced me to you, Josh! 10 years ago or so
Sabbath rest.
Begin with the end in mind…
Brother I disagree. Music, musicians, fame or stardom is not the vehicle Jesus uses. He uses people, ordinary, low born, low educated (cause there is no other kind) people to share the good news. We just have to believe with all our heart and soul and then He performs the miracles. He saves the souls. We are the lowly instruments. Recording songs, making deals, publishing music are not His instruments. Those are the things that prop us up for the bigger and bigger fall that teaches us how to need Him. My prayers are with you and your family and I hope the fall is low and not too high. We all must fall.
Music is his career so trying to take away how the Lord has used him in his art of music is hypocritical, considering everything you just described is your own opinion based off your own experience. I hope you have humbled yourself greatly since you made this silly comment.
You lost me i want lie, but you where not made to speak but spread the gospel through your music. 😅 ❤
