Inheriting other people's problems

In Revelation, we read of the fall of the harlot, mystery Babylon, and we see the statement, "Come out from among her, that you may not share in her plagues." Now, I've seen from personal experience that by trying to "help" someone who is likely being punished for their sins by God, you can get involved to the point where it causes YOU problems. First, if they're under judgment, and by trying to "cushion" them you're interfering with God's judgment. I can state a few cases where this happened to me. One, back when I was working for the courier services, there was this crooked dispatcher whose money was legitimately tied up, so I, like a sap, when he told me his bills were due, he would ask for an amount, and he said he could get the money back in such a way at such a time. But of course, it never happened, and eventually it ran down MY money. Also, as examples that helping someone who is doing wrong by violating God's will by doing so brings harm to yourself, I've had someone try to ask me about bearing false witness and lying in court for them, and a drug addict neighbor who wanted me to take him to pick up drugs. Also, an illegal alien I have the misfortune of knowing, who, because she's illegal, and doesn't have the "right means" to do things, "puts the lean" on me to "cover her" in everything when it's her fault, and she stubbornly resists changing. And even my mother, fascinated by the occult, like obsessed with it. And lately she has financial problems {no matter what she tries}. Although she has the same amount of bills she had when she didn't have this problem, so I'm starting to wonder if it's not a coincidence, if, since she's not following God's will by contacting demons at a séance, maybe this is a judgment, but here again, when I try to help, my lending her money doesn't reverse the curse, the only thing that happens is I get shorter on money!! So my point? If you help SOME, you get blessed, BUT if you try to assist someone in a sin, I don't believe you will be blessed. Or if the reason they have a problem is because they're under a judgment from God, by us helping them when it's God's will to judge them, wouldn't that be AGAINST God's will? Aren't there times we're supposed to use judgment and wisdom, not just willy-nilly do everything for everybody at all times, no matter what? If I lend money to someone to see a prostitute or buy drugs, do you think God would give me a financial blessing? If anything, He might take it away from me, because I'm using it wrongly. USE JUDGMENT!!
 
For You o Lord are worthy of all praise, all honor and all glory. Your word reveal to us the wonderful plan for our life, for our attitude and our desire. People may have all kinds of problems and all kinds of pressures in their life because they live so far away from Jesus. They do not fast and pray daily for lost souls, they do not read God's word nor honor the Lord with giving tithes and offerings to the Lord. We must not inherit other people's problems, God will not allow. When we get to heaven we shall give an account to the Lord for what we personally have done here on earth. We will not give an account for our wife, or husband or our children or our own parents. Each one of us shall be judged according to what we have done. So, let us all live a holy and pure life before Jesus. He knows our heart, He knows our needs, He want us all to be with Him in heaven.

We will be judged separately, but I mean if we ASSIST THEM in the sin, like if I lend money to someone to see a prostitute when I know it's wrong, or give them money to buy a gun to kill someone. I think helping someone to sin is itself a sin. There are times we must say no.
 
Giving money to a panhandler to get himself drunk and lost forever in hell is a sin that Jesus does not want anyone of us to do this. Give the panhandler bread, a sandwich or buy them a meal where he will be satisfied with it. More important than that, feed them with God's word. Tell them instead of drinking too much, be filled with the Holy Spirit of God and He will satisfy the longing of His heart. Do not participate with sins of others. If someone invites you to a farewell party at work and there will be a lot of drinks, women and everything else, do not participate with them. Say thank you but I can't do this. Jesus will be so sad to see me get involved in sin and evil before Him. Obey the Lord. Obey His word and blessings upon blessings shall come to your life.

For just one example.} Any way, his money was legitimately tied up, so I like a sap when he told me his bills were due he would ask for an amount, and he said he could get the money back in such way at such time.

God is a holy God. In his words He said "Be ye holy for I am holy." As long as you violate Biblical precepts you have sinned. In the letter to the Ephesians children were expected to obey their parents in the Lord if it is right. Sin is sin and even if you try to help or cover for someone who has committed an offence of any kind as long as it is not of God it remains wrong. Every individual must give an account before the Almighty for every act he has done. God is unchangeable and whatever he says stand. One should never assist another person in doing wrong. Even under the law which governs a country you would be found guilty. We should always stand up for what is right and a wise person should keep away from trouble. Use your head and not your heart. I say this because you might be tempted to cover for a relative or as a friend and could easily get in trouble. I know of many instances when this occurred. Anyway the all-important question is this "Is God pleased with my action?"
 
Love the poor and needy just as Jesus did. Inherit everything and give to Jesus. Pray for them, fast for them. Jesus will save all of them.

No, I meant use judgement. If an alcoholic asks for money for more liquor, etc, or the like, we're under no obligation to help make it easier for some to sin, just to say we "helped" someone.
