Walking and talking with my mind stayed on Jesus.
As the saying goes, "You have to crawl before you can walk." But, I like God's take on it better, because before we can truly walk, we must first learn to stand.
It's usually at game time, but even while I'm sleeping on the streets, do they gather themselves together. That's even worse than when they cut off my hair while I was sleeping. I don't altogether know why they are seeking me out to walk (drive) around me; BUT GOD KNOWS. GOD IS NOT MOCKED - He said seek His face. Therefore, we must be mindful in our walking. Are we walking in the Spirit of God's Righteousness? for His purpose of SALVATION? Or is our walking according to man's instructions to obtain earthly things?
Philippians 3:18-19 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.
In some passages, God instructs us to sit down to recieve; but, in Ephesians 6:10-18, He stands us up to ready us to walk in battle. Notice also, how that battle is fought. The battle is not fought through mindless physical activity and rituals, but rather through "All PRAYER and SUPPLICATION in the SPIRIT. Walking is most often a symbolism for right living. If indeed God instructs us to actually walk, we must walk with the right spirit and purpose.
God's instructions and Righteous armor is sufficient for victory in any battle. The army that engages in battle without proper marching orders and armor is soon defeated. Until fully armed and properly prepared to walk, you must stand still, lest you find yourselves walking in circles for forty years, or worse yet, circling around your own city walls. The Israelites did not circle around their own city, they circled around Jericho. Once the circling was complete, ALL inhabitants had to be killed (whirlwind).
When you don't stand on the Word of God, you'll fall for anything. Therefore, your walking must be for this purpose:
Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Supplication :to make a HUMBLE entreaty starts here...As the saying goes, "You have to crawl before you can walk." But, I like God's take on it better, because before we can truly walk, we must first learn to stand.

Psalm 119:33-34
33) Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end.
34) Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Jesus never instructed anyone to mistreat their neighbor, especially not one of the least of these "Sheer cussedness"...
I heard, you can't hate your neighbor when your mind is stayed on Jesus.
