The Next Level Foundation

Frequently I have heard and at times even mentioned myself something to the effect that we want to take our walk to the next level. As I reflect on my own use of the phrase, it is not completely clear what I meant. I think that within us all is buried that desire to be as close to our Father as we can be. We are drawn to Him. As a result, we want more. This “next level” idea comes from that, possibly. That is all great but one question we might want to ask and answer is, what does it take to do that? We must have a foundation, and it needs to be a good one. Here is one example of a good foundation.

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

The Law and the Prophets are our foundation for the new covenant, which is the Law written in our hearts and minds.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your kingdom reign with us. Heal us internally, and deliver us from the thief. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus).
