What are you doing for the Kingdom today?

noted in passing:
some guy saying "same sex marriage" like 5 times in 30 seconds...
"these people will kill you" on some reality, towing show (not lizard lick-the tamer one)(lol, that didn't take long...)
weird to watch the enemy at work...

Bump for "Mindfulness."

[Amanah]

buddhism encourages mindfullness

The Buddha:
Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.

Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.

but so does the bible:

Matthew 6

Do Not Be Anxious
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Cool. I remember a "mindfulness" kind of movement, like 20 years ago, but never really investigated at the time. I have this BeHereNow thing going on, and yet I'm able to catch myself, several times a day at least, being mentally absent from the moment.

One day the Lord said to me

do you see all those people busy everyday all day long.

Going here and going there .

And doing this and doing that.

I said yes Lord I do.

He then said to me

All that that they do

they do on their own.

I did not tell them to do any of it.

If the Lord allowed anyone to get close to me enough to give me their opinions from time to time when they could ease it in without seeming to be minding my business

they would say to me

You know I never ever see you do much of anything.

I say to them with a great big smile

If the Lord did not tell me to do it.

I am not going to be doing it.

So whatever you see me doing

You know the Lord told me to be doing it.

If you want to always be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.

Be where the Lord put you
doing what the Lord put you to doing
exactly as the Lord
instructed you to be doing.

There sure are a whole lot of folks on the Lord's earth doing something other than he told them to do or doing something other than he did not tell them to do.

Sure, but we can only judge this for ourselves? One cannot hope to judge rightly for someone else here. When you see someone else's sin (which God does not see) you are lost, imo.

Today I am not kidding myself, that I am somehow superior to anyone, and yet not also being a judge. The moment you find something lacking in another (and there will always be something) you can even feel the flames, lol, that you suppose are for the one who is "lacking," which ends up being self.

Good stuff.

Amen. Today I am wondering about your idea of the Scriptural "serpent seed," as I have only ever heard this through Arnold Murray. Are there alt serpent seed doctrines, that maybe condemn a certain group or something? How do you explain "serpent seed" if it is not "offspring of satan?" What is a "Kenite?"

Please comment on the Arnold Murray thread, if you have some wisdom here, ty.
