The art of walking may parallel the art of negotiation.

The Art of NEGOTIATION  you have heard the word  of the Lord through this Meditation.. .email it and take it the person Gods leads you to.... Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. John F. Kennedy This Meditation is the hardest meditation that I  tried to write. The spiritual warfare and opposition is great. 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Be assured of Gods unconditional Love...however, Your Dream hangs in the balance...     DO NOT FEAR  2 Timothy 1 7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline Psalm 56 11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?   Do Good to the opposition Proverbs 3 27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.. God is your reward not the object of your negotiating 8because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free     Edify those at the negotiating table Ephesians 4 29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. put away anger 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.   Avoid the Playful Spirit during negotiating Ephesians 5 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. Avoid Deception at the negotiating table Ephesians 5 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Do not Covenant with your enemies of God Ephesians 5 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them Wait on God Lamentations 3 25 The LORD isgood to those whose hope isin him, to the one who seeks him; The Wisdom of God will compensate for your weakness 3I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. Be a listener Proverbs 1 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance- do not act until you have all the facts Proverbs 18 13 He who answers before listening- that is his folly and his shame. Be Quiet Proverbs 17 28   Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. 1 Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, [1] with strife Do not accept a peace offering Prov 17:23   A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. Be positive and cheerful Prov 17:22   A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Do not share everything at the negotiating table Proverbs 17:27   He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Be Congenial Proverbs 18 24   A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Define your expectations at the negotiating table Matthew 7 7   Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Listen to the Strongest point of your opposition Abigail brought  food to ward off Davids assault Please read the entire chap 1 Sam 25 1 Sam 25:18   Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. What the expectations of the opposition Do you know what they cannot give up
