Last week I shared about the one hundred and twenty.  
After sending out the 120,  
Jesus sent out another group.  
This group was closer to Jesus  
and were given the commission  
to go with nothing,  
and preach the Kingdom.  
  
**Seventy-two is six times twelve,**  
some Bibles say seventy,  
but I think it was seventy-two.  
This is humanity coming into the Kingdom.  
This is the mission of human beings  
to be the vehicle   
for the Kingdom of God  
**on the earth.**  
  
The seventy-two were just that,  
they were the **living embodiment**   
of the Kingdom of God  
on the earth.  
And Jesus said  
that he saw "Satan fall like lightning"  
because of their work.  
  
When you get close to the Kingdom,  
you experience the intensity of the battle.  
You discover   
that you are **now in a war**  
and you need someone standing next to you.  
This is why our calling to artists  
is a call to **raise up an army**.  
  
An army is disciplined,  
and is committed to solid core values.  
Seth Godin described a shared culture  
this way:  
"People like us do things like this."  
  
If you are in the trenches,  
you want to know the person next to you  
is as committed as you,  
there is safety and support  
in a common set of values and behaviors.  
  
You cannot do it alone,  
but you also can't do it without some   
**solid holy habits.**  
  
Many Christians are like a blowtorch  
that has been turned on all the way.  
There is a bright yellow flame,   
but it goes all over the place  
and it is ineffective, wild, and wasteful.  
It can set things on fire,  
but it can't do much else.  
  
When you tighten that nob on the blowtorch,  
the flame changes color,  
and suddenly,  
you have a tool that can cut steel.  
  
Making the Belonging House commitment  
is about becoming  
a little copy of Jesus   
the Master Copy of the Father.   
We ask those who come under   
the Belonging House roof to make the following commitment:  
  
Agree to our "[12 I wills.](https://belonginghouse.substack.com/p/our-commitment)"  
We also ask that you read the [daily gospel ](https://universalis.com/mass.htm?ref=belonging.house)every day and take time to listen to God.  
Pray for Belonging House regularly.  
Form or become part of a small group of artists.  
[Fast](https://methodistprayer.org/wesleyfast?ref=belonging.house) one day a week, traditionally on Fridays.  
Support Belonging House financially.  
(If the hotlinks are missing, you can find the details here:  
https://belonginghouse.substack.com/p/our-commitment)  
  
Beginning April 1,  
our [Mighty Network](https://belonging-house.mn.co/?ref=belonging.house) community   
will become a closed group   
for those who have made the Belonging House commitment.  
We will be creating content and opportunities   
for those who have come under the Belonging House roof.  
  
Those who make this commitment  
are core to our life and mission.  
  
This is part of putting a door on the house,  
and we hope this will make our community stronger.
