Trust in the Father
The world would say that this capacity to make others more important than our own safety and walk with the Father is what distinguishes the People from animals. Father would Say that is not so.
Taking upon yourself the responsibility that is of the Father, makes everyone involved vulnerable to the unrighteous – unholy. Why? Because, rather than looking to the Father for safety and receiving it from Him, people who have falsely accepted the worldly deception look unto each other for safety and thus, by their very own choice, look away from the safety the Father would provide. How can the Father then assist people who are unwilling to look unto Him?
Recognizing this and learning to do it the Father Way is difficult enough, even when you know that everyone you care about knows to look unto the Father for safety. More difficult is when you are in a situation where you know that those you care about are making choices that are leading them to the vipers den and you know that because of where they are in their believes / choices, they are minimally receptive to Father’s Safety (their very choice to answer the viper’s call negates their safety in the Father).
The tendency in cases like this is to assume the “superhero” mentality and want to go out and save them… perhaps you can do or say something to change or prevent the damage that you think may come to them… for how can you live with yourself when you know what may occur to those you care and do nothing to prevent it?
Yet it is the case that in the Father Way, one learns to be at Peace in the Knowing that out of Respect and Love one can allow others to choose their own experiences and learning. If Father would have us take action, He would provide the Guidance. If there is no Guidance to take action, then it is not for us to take it upon ourselves to do something, nor is it for us to accept guilt and condemnation for Living of one a-chord with the Father.
In my particular case, Father has been Guiding me to Respectfully and gently provide some words of Wisdom and Guidance as to what the Father would have for this particular family. Yet, His Direction has not only gone unheeded but the choice was made by this family to move into the vipers den. Of course, I feel sorrow and pain to see them go there, especially since I know from experience the damage that may come unto them, but it is for me to Respect their choice and be at Peace that I have done as Father Guided. Any other action would not only be very unwelcome by them, but would place me in a vulnerable position, since I would take a false responsibility and disregard the Father Way. This very action would be an indication of lack of Faith in the Father, making it all so much worse.
Seeing this from a distance, you may recognize that in reality this entire scenario of taking responsibility for the safety of others is a trap of the unrighteous - unholy which is used to entangle those good hearted people who otherwise would not play in the unrighteous - unholy game.
As point of departure approaches, it is important for each one who Desires to Walk in the Father Way to make Peace with this understanding and to stop taking the bait / falling into this trap. Any pain, sorrow, and sense of false responsibility that surfaces is placed on the Altar of Divine Love and Power in Right and Proper Exchange for Universal Truth and Peace.
Remember that baiting and trapping is the way of tyranny.
The Way of the Father is Peace, Joy, Abundance, and Safety for all.
Trust in the Father, Safety is in Him.
