kill the weasel
a true story
there was a pastor by the name of
Wilberforce
who was walking one day on the island of
Skye
and he noticed the golden eagle taking
flight
and he was he was uh deeply moved by the
site is that Golden Eagle Circle higher
and higher into the sky and when I stand
there watching this Golden Eagle take
flight
he noticed that the flight became
erratic and the wings began to flutter
wildly and suddenly the golden eagle
started diving
and in fact fell right near him
dead
and he he had not heard a shot there was
no shots fired and he was very curious
as to what had happened to this uh huge
golden eagle and he went over to examine
it there were there was no gunshot wound
there was no wound at all and then he
flipped the eagle over and he suddenly
recognized the the reason for the death
of the golden eagle their clutch in his
claw was a weasel
now a weasel is a long thin animal a
carnivorous animal that lives on rodents
and birds and it’s almost like a mink a
long thin uh edible the eagle had
clutched it uh further down in the body
and in Flight it evidently clutched it
to its breast and the
Louisa had latched itself onto the
breast of the eagle and sucked its Blood
Out
and the ego absolutely evidently had
died in flight
because
the weasel had drained the Eagle’s blood
and folks this is an absolute Vivid
picture of a Christian who is
endeavoring to go higher and higher in
the knowledge of Christ
and yet has in his hand to be setting
sin
a secret sin
that will absolutely detain the flight
and not only detain the flight it’s not
only the weight that we’re talking about
here in Hebrews 12 1 but it’s also that
besetting sin that will absolutely suck
the lifeblood the spiritual lifeblood
out of the believer
now I want you to hear me very clearly
some of you may think this is a crude
illustration but it’s one of the
clearest and if you walk out of here
when I am finished today and you look at
your besetting scene in your hand is an
eagle clutching that weasel
see he thought that was his meal he was
going to devour he’s going to have
pleasure eating that thing and instead
it drained him and literally killed took
his life
if you have a secret loss to be setting
sin you’ll have a weasel that is in the
cuts of your hand
and if it isn’t dropped
if it isn’t let go of
no
the hawk family has has a trait and I
don’t know why this Eagle didn’t do but
many in the hawk family will take the
rabbit or the whatever animal that
they’ve swooped down and picked up and
will drop it on a rock and then swoop
down to the dead animal and devour it
and the lesson is that that besetting
sin that thing that is still in your
life that God is dealing with is that
weasel in hand that will drain your
spiritual life out of you and that’s
where we’re going with the message today
my message is a plea
and a loving warning from the Holy
Spirit
asking you
to drop your weeds along the Rock
drop your besetting sin on the rock
blessed devour you and unless you kill
the weasel the weasel will kill you it’s
that simple
this is exactly the warning here in
Hebrews 12 1.
this is a very familiar verse let us lay
aside every weight
and the sin that is so easily beset us
now that verse sounds almost leisurely
it sounds nonchalant well laid down your
besetting sin as if when you get around
to it or when you think about it or in
time will you please deal with your
besetting sin but that’s not how the
original Greek brings it out in the
original Greek it’s very strong it says
it says an original original stop it lay
it down now cease it put it away from
you
in other words let go of it
before it kills you it’s that strong in
the Greek and the Bible says lay aside
every weight
and this is the counts of the Lord that
says that that be setting sin has put a
load on you that you can’t carry it’s a
load of guilt
there is not a true Christian here
hearing me right now if you have a
besetting sin that you are still
holding in your hand clutching too if
that is still there if you love the Lord
it has to produce in you a load of guilt
he said the only way to lay aside that
weight that load of guilt is to lay the
sin down and when the sin is gone the
guilt is gone
that is the weight it is the guilt to
fear the condemnation that comes on a
believer that is carrying that hidden
thing and folks that that sin that I
likened to the weasel is the very thing
no matter how hot you you may look like
you’re soaring into the heavens and
people may admire your flight
but they don’t know that you have a
weight they don’t know that you’re
carrying something in your hand they
don’t see that thing that’s draining
your life
you can look like a Christian you can
look like an overcomer you can have all
of the outward appearance of being an
ego and the Bible in Isaiah the 40th
chapter I think of the 35th verse talks
about our walk with God or our our our
our uh being with Christ is uh taking
wings as an eagle having wings is an
eagle flying into the heavenlies
and you can be flying in the heavenlies
soaring above everybody else enjoying
the knowledge that you’re getting in you
can be enjoying your Christian walk but
if you have that weasel
in your hands
it’s going to get to your breast
and it’s going to drain your spiritual
life little by little until there are
spiritual death
I’m not talking about damnation of the
Soul I’m talking about spiritual death
here and now I’m talking about the Here
and Now
David said because of his sin there’s no
soundness in my flesh because of thine
anger neither is there any rest in my
bones because of my sin
my iniquities have gone over my head is
a heavy burden they’re too heavy for me
now I am troubled I’m bowed down greatly
I go mourning all the day long I am
feeble I’m sore broken by reason of the
disquietness of my heart and he said I’m
so broken I can’t even look up
you see because he he had this thing in
his hand and it was draining his life
this this luster was in David’s heart
this sinner was in David heart it was
absolutely draining him
until he says my bones are broken I
can’t even look up I’ve got a heavy
burden I can’t carry
and folks when there is sin in the life
of a Christian it is an unbearable
burden the load of guilt and fear and
condemnation and how it how it just
sucks the joy how it drains the life
blood out of and overcoming a Christian
who should be living overcoming
there are countless numbers of
Christians however who carry no guilt
whatsoever
they don’t the scripture that can’t
apply to themselves it says lay aside
every weight and this sentence even to
be such a because they’ve made peace
with their sin they don’t see us wrong
because they got tired of resisting it
and what they finally did they found a
doctrine of perverted Grace that enabled
them to live with their sin comfortably
and at one time they had the conviction
of the Holy Ghost at one time God dealt
with them to their sin but they got
we’re given they got cozy with their sin
and they began to just uh hold it to
their breasts so to speak that weasel is
taken into the breast
and now they they can go about without
any guilt or any condemnation whatsoever
they forget what Paul said in Titus
about the grace of God the grace of God
that bringeth salvation has appeared to
all men
teaching us that denying ungodliness and
worldly lust we should live soberly
righteously and godly in this present
world
we’re to live God the grace of God is to
produce godliness and Holiness in US
now follow me closer you you’re going to
see something in the Romulus spirit that
I I hope and pray will bring absolute
Deliverance to you this morning
Moses spoke of the people who would
refuse to forsake their sins
but he said they would claim to have a
peace
it’s a false peace but they would claim
that they’re in peace it’s in
Deuteronomy 21 19 this person will say
he will bless himself in his heart
saying I shall have peace though I walk
in the imagination of my heart to add
drunkenness to thirst and the Hebrew the
original Hebrew Bible says I shall have
peace though I walk in the stubbornness
of my heart and gratify all my appetites
I have peace I’m a Christian I’m under
the blood
I’m the righteousness of Jesus I can
satisfy all my appetites
I don’t care if I walk in the
stubbornness of my sin
I have peace
folks there’s no greater peace than in a
graveyard
and here’s a man that’s having his very
spiritual life sucked out of him he’s
got this thing draining him and about to
destroy him and he says I have peace
though I walk through the stubbornness
of my own heart and folks there are
thousands of Christians living in a
false world of false peace and what a
day when they stand before the Lord what
a day
I used to think that Christians who
sinned willfully and stubbornly would
always have have this guilt that some do
not because they have shaken it off they
don’t even know that they’re weighted
down they’re loaded down and weighted
down with sin and can’t recognize it and
how do you put off something you don’t
even recognize
and I want to talk to you about what the
Bible calls mortification mortification
would you go to Romans 8 chapter please
Romans 8.
you’re still there
Romans 8.
verses 12 and 13.
Romans 8 I still hear the leaves
rustling
are you there
Romans 8 verse 12 and 13 therefore
brethren we are debtors not to the flesh
to live after the flesh
for we live after the flesh you shall
die but if you through the spirit do
mortify
and he’s put to death the Deeds of the
body ye shall live
listen to me look this way if ye
to the spirit to mortify
or kill the weasel
he shall live
if ye through the spirit
to mortify
the Deeds of the flesh ye shall live
the word mortify actually means to draw
the life out and to dead that weaken it
until it’s dead you keep working on it
by faith and working on it and that
besetting sin becomes weaker and weaker
and weaker until finally the thing lies
without life it has no lifeblood
now I want to stop here right now and
tell you I why I believe God so hates
uh sin
why is it that God wants to kill the
weasel
that weasel is your besetting sin let me
explain something to him boy the Holy
Ghost put this in my heart yesterday and
I I just had to put my hands up and
rejoice and and and praise the Lord I
said Lord I never saw it before
and it puts it puts God’s hatred towards
sin and a whole new light
you see
it’s not because sin
is is the work of his arch enemy Satan
it’s not just because it’s the work of
the devil that angers God
it’s not because sin embarrasses God
because he’s beyond that
it’s not even because God is Holy that
he so hates sin
yes there’s a hatred towards sin but
it’s it’s not as a sin in itself and as
such but it is the results of sin
it is what sin it’s not what sin does to
him it’s what sin does to his children
it’s what sin does to his people it’s
the wages of sin it’s the consequences
of sin that so angers God and I’m going
to open that to you hopefully by the
power of the Holy Spirit here in just a
few moments
Jesus it is written came to give life
in him was life the Bible says God sent
his own son to produce life in his
people
folks this whole thing is about life
it’s life
God sent Jesus that you and I might have
life as Believers not only life but
Abundant Life
Abundant Life
and God will not sit by
and allow anything any hindrance any
demon any devil any hindrance any flesh
to suck out and drain the life that his
son died to provide
if God didn’t act against your sin and
mind that drains us of that life he
would just be despising the sacrifice of
his own son
are you seeing it
do you hear on the spirit Jesus came to
produce life he never intended and his
people go around walking in fear and
condemnation and guilt and under the
thumb of the enemy or the Dominion of
sin
why does God hate the weasel
because
it drains the life out of us that Jesus
died to provide
Jesus said I stand at the door and knock
and he wants communion he wants to come
and suck
and he knows that that thing
sets the door to communion
because when Adam said he hid from the
presence of the Lord
do you think God was married just
because
he said no it was more than that because
it’s the result of sin it broke that
sweet communion
folks if you’re a true Christian of
Jesus with all your heart you know what
happens when you sin before God and when
you keep falling into the same old sin
and you know how you stand before the
Lord you feel the guilt and you feel the
pain and you know you’ve injured the
Lord and and that this the Lord looks at
you and says look what it’s done to you
it’s robbed you of the life
it’s robbed you of the joy it’s robbed
you of my peace
and the Lord will stop at nothing
to get at that sin to bring back the
life
to produce the life because that’s what
he wants he’s not trying to chastise you
just because you made him angry that’s
not where the anger of God is
the anger of God is against the pain
and
the walls that have been erected by sin
that’s where his anger is directed does
not mad at you
he’s not mad at any of his children
God has never once in the history of
mankind passed away or forsaken one of
his children that struggles against sin
hating his sin he may not have the
victory but God will never cast you a
sign
he is still your loving father but I
tell you he will stop at nothing
absolutely nothing until he gets to that
weasel and kills it because he knows it
stands between you it has the potential
of draining you of every ounce of
spiritual life that Jesus died to
provide
folks let that sink in a minute
you see he’s not mad at you
he’s not mad at me he looks down and
sees a poor struggling Saint struggling
against to be setting sin
foreign
look what it’s done to you
look what it’s doing to you
you don’t even want to come into my
presence you don’t want to even pick up
the book You Feel So Unworthy and now
look what it’s doing to you the pain and
and the shame and now the rivers are
closing up and drying because you you
are having your life drained out of you
your life is being drained out sin is
draining this life out of you
he says now come
let me help you let me bring you to
deliverance and folks that’s when the
life of Jesus Christ and Paul the
Apostle gave his very life gave his very
life for this one reason that the
promise of life in Jesus Christ may be
fulfilled second Timothy 1 1 the promise
of life in Christ Jesus
beloved
this whole struggle
against sin
this whole Battle of sin
why is it
that God raises up Shepherds
uncompromising who stand in the pulpit
and come against sin and hold it to your
face why does God send prophets why does
he speak to his word and such power and
anointing and why does he come and
Hammer like a hammer his word Hammers
and hammers it’s not God trying to pound
you down it’s not God trying to be
justified has nothing to do with the
justice of God even
that cannot affect the justice of God he
will be just in his own nature
but he does that out of love
uh we had a pastor call her office this
week
and demand immediately to be taken off
my mailing list he had read a message
called
uh they have
taken away the cross
and he didn’t like the part about the
cross confronting sins he said that’s
all settled
he didn’t like it at all and and he
probably
believes in his heart that I’m just a
legalistic symbol Stomper
so take me off your list I don’t want
any of that kind of hard language
let me tell you what the Holy Ghost
showed me and listen
the man
of God
who stands
before you
and warns you
of a weasel in your hand that can
destroy you
is the preacher of life
he is preaching of Life why why would
anybody why would anyone stand in the
Pulpit when he knows human nature when
he knows the spirit of this age and when
he knows that many of his people are are
are wallowing sin and the Holy Ghost is
talking about that sin why would anybody
allow us oh go ahead and tuck your
weasel pet it
you can’t tap sin
you can’t put boundaries on sin because
sin always overflows his boundaries you
can’t say I’ll go this far and that’s as
far as I’ll go there are no boundaries
sin always overflows its boundaries
it’s about life
when the Lord began to put this message
in my heart I said well Lord last five
messages all been about Sin
the Lord says no David you’re not saying
this is about Grace
this is Grace this is God saying I want
a people full of life I don’t want my
people dragging anymore I want people
with joy and victory in their hearts
I want them to live in peace
it’s about life
that you might have life
that you might have it more abundantly
the other word for weight in Greek is
hindrance and and that is the weasel he
said Oh my he will come after every
hindrance
folks that’s why just when you think
it’s all settled and God can’t go any
deeper
and he’s he’s peeled the onion down to
the Core
then here comes another message
another conviction
why
the Lord’s saying I want you to get the
place where there’s absolutely nothing
standing
hindering this River of Life we think
there’s a River of Life springing up in
me and there is a holy ghost that wants
to spring up on a whale that begins to
flow and he wants no hindrances to block
that flow of blessing and favor and
anointing of the Holy Ghost Hallelujah
I can tell where there’s been a church
that’s been under the preaching of the
word where people have been Sanctified
by the word and cleansed by the word of
God because there’s a genuine worship
there’s a shout in the Church of Victory
Hallelujah people have the joy of the
Lord
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
folks
I don’t call it living
getting up every day with a cloud
hanging over the head
I don’t call it living looking in the
mirror every day and wondering is my sin
going to bring
some kind of judgment on me and that’s
that’s where many many people are
they think that way
and and folks
the Bible does say the wages of sin is
death
I don’t call that living walking around
every waking hour at the load of guilt
and fear and condemnation I don’t call
that living at all not in my book that’s
not living
and that’s not what God wants for his
people
if ye through the spirit
demortify the flesh ye shall live
Hallelujah
Paul speaks of those who have their
understanding darkened
through the ignorance that is in them
because of the blindness of their heart
who being passed feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness to
work all uncleanness with greediness
now look at the people he’s describing
he’s saying here of people who who are
holding on to their sin they’ve got this
thing in their hand these are Eagles
trying to fly and they’ve got this thing
in their hand and he said they walking
in darkness now and there’s uncleanness
with greediness and look what the result
is being alienated from the life of God
alienated cut off
from the life of God
Hallelujah
let me tell you
there’s been times in my life
my younger
years in Ministry
God would see
me collecting a weasel
he saw something in my hand that could
destroy me
and the Holy Ghost King
and he would say to me David
let that go
is gonna
drain you if you’re anointing
it’s going to cost your ministry
it’s going to bring you to a spiritual
death
and you’ll be useless to your generation
that’s how clear it was that’s how loud
it was because God will stop at nothing
to get at that thing nothing because he
will let nothing hinder the life that he
wants us to have
and I thank God that that produced the
fear of God in Me and I said oh God take
it God take it and I look back and I see
how he saved my life saved my Ministry
kept my anointing so that this time in
my life in in my ladder years now I have
that River of peace and joy in my soul
Hallelujah and I thank God for the day
he spoke so strong to me if he’d just
patted me on the back and said David I
know you you mean well I see your tears
folks your tears in itself won’t do it
your promises and your vows won’t
deliver you that is absolutely hopeless
you can’t do it in your flesh
that all folks if you have a heart for
God if you want to walk in righteousness
the Holy Ghost will come to you he will
send Messengers he will send prophets
he’ll put Shepherds before you and he
will hold your sin up in your face not
because he’s mad at you not because he’s
trying to hammer you down but he said
I’m trying to save you
trying to deliver you
[Applause]
alienated from the life that is in God
folks do you want Jesus with all your
heart
I say do you want Jesus with all your
heart
well you can’t have him unless you want
his life
because in him his life the Bible says
and you can’t have Christ unless you
desire his life and you can’t have his
life without deliverance from the weasel
say brother Dave how was sin mortified
how do I kill the weasel
yeah
through the spirit
if ye through the spirit do mortify
ye shall live see it’s all about living
it’s all about life
God sent the Holy Ghost into our hearts
to do the work of mortifying sin and
I’ll give you one heart
and I will put a new heart in you and a
new spirit I’ll take away the Stony
heart out of your flesh and I’ll give
you a heart I’ll take the Stony heart
out of your flesh and we’ll give you a
heart of Flesh a new heart also will I
give you and the new spirit I’ll put
within you and I will take away the
Stony heart
if you want to lay down your sin
folks when I begin to pray about this
this past week I closed all my books
said Lord I can’t get this out of a book
God you have to show me we’ve got we’ve
got people
still battling with drugs and alcohol
and homosexuality and lisbonism
bitterness and gossip and folks I don’t
know what it is I don’t know what that
weasel is in your hand I don’t know what
you’re clutching to
foreign
thing
if you have a heart for God
there’s a cry in you oh God I want life
I want to live
I want to live now I’m not talking about
just eternal life he said that we may
have life
have it more abundantly
the Holy Ghost will come to you
and he will speak in no uncertain terms
to you
he’s going to show you no no I want you
to follow very close he’s going to get
you to focus on the danger of your
condition he will focus you on the
danger of your condition
he’s going to say you have something in
your hands this is he has to me when I
was especially a young pastor and
evangelist and God would say you can’t
watch that on television he can’t
you can’t do that again you can’t do
that
in other words that’s that that’s going
to rob you it’s going to take it away if
there was bitterness in my heart when
somebody did me wrong God says no David
if you keep that bitterness another day
is going to suck your life
it’s going to rob you it’s going to
destroy you
folks there are pastors evanges and lay
people all over the world right now who
are spiritually dead they walk around
the spiritual zombies no life in them
whatsoever because of bitterness and
things that God dealt with and they
never would let it go
you say well how can I let it go first
of all he shows you the danger he’s
going to show you to the word he’s doing
that right now through my preaching
this is how God delivers he’s going to
show you in no uncertain terms he said
you keep it up I love you but there’s
something I I cannot do I can convict
you I can send Messengers I can tell you
how dangerous your condition is I can
paint the picture for you I can warn you
but you have to let it go there’s an act
of obedience God the Holy Ghost is given
to work in us but he will not work
without us
there has to be a determined Act of
obedience that says God I am sick and
tired of my bondage I’m sick and tired
of the load of guilt I have a weight on
me I want to get rid of it I want my
freedom back
and when your heart begins to cry for
freedom
the Lord says you can have it but now
you can’t do it in your own strength
you’ve made promises before you failed
but through Jesus Christ you can do all
things through Christ we can do all
things the Holy Ghost will come and
Empower you but he doesn’t move in with
that power until he sees and only he
knows when you have fully committed
to an act of obedience I will obey I
will lay it down
I have had it
when God sees you come to that point
he’ll give you the power to do it
and not until
[Applause]
forgive me for screaming
oh God the Holy Ghost is so faithful
he’s a gentle Dove he’ll come and plead
with you he will woo you he will love
you with messages folks for the past
year and a half he has wooed this
congregation with messages of grace and
mercy Pastor Carter’s join me in in
messages in this Pulpit of the sweetness
of Christ and the gentleness of the Holy
Ghost we have preached it the full
Council of God but folks Jesus is coming
he’s about to do something in this
church and every church that wants him
I I have heard some preaching of
repentance that has angered me and I I I
have I have the Holy Ghost and may not
listen to because it’s nothing but
slapping people around from the pulpit
is nothing but no God’s mad at you and
straightened up or you’re going to hell
folks it’s about life it’s a loving
message of healing it’s about life
ah
there comes a moment
when you say
I choose life over death
I want freedom and when you make that
decision let me tell you what happens
the Holy Ghost comes in
and your First Act of obedience
he floods you
with an ecstasy and a joy
that you haven’t had in ages he comes
and begins to flood because he
encourages and not only that he will
flood you with Promises of what he’s
going to do for you and he’ll set before
you a picture of what’s ahead for you
and even for Jesus the scripture says
looking unto Jesus the author the
finisher of our faith that’s in Hebrews
12 2
who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross despising the shame
now he set down at the right hand of the
father
but you see when Jesus was going through
this struggle he’s in the middle of the
struggle the Holy Ghost came and he
painted before the Lord this wonderful
gave all these wonderful promises showed
him the joy that if he could break
through go down into death die said this
and he he died with the sins of the
world on his shoulders but he went down
into the grave he came out and folks
when you you bring your weasel so to
speak you bring your sin to the Lord and
say Lord I’ve had it here and you put it
in his hands Lord you take it you take
it I’m ready then he comes in with
strength and then he begins to speak to
your heart I’m going to open up rivers
to you I’m going to open all the rivers
I’m going to bless your you with joy
like you’ve never known I’m going to
give you peace and satisfaction You’re
Gonna Know
you’re going to know me like you’ve
never known me before he’s going to open
up the word to you he begins to show you
this picture and then like Jesus you can
endure because of the joy that you see
the victory that you see ahead
Hallelujah
and one of these days
you’re going to stand in full Joy
maybe in this church maybe at home maybe
on the job and the victory has come you
look down and there’s that weasel dead
at your feet and you’ll look at that
dead thing and said oh Lord
foreign
you’re going to see how insignificant
how how unreasonable
how stupid
you’ll see that thing laying get at your
feet
I don’t want to rejoicing is going to
come to your heart he said oh God how
much you love me that thing could have
drained my life it could have taken me
to Hell thank you Jesus that’s where the
joy of the Lord comes to the house of
God and to the people

setting sin

preaching
was God by his Spirit showing you
was he saying something to you
because he’s saying today
was he saying this is for you
this message is directly for you
did the Holy Ghost say I’ve been patient
and I’ve been loving and I’ve been
telling you this thing will kill you it
will destroy you
if that’s so
I want you to bring it to Jesus
I want you to come and open your hand
and lay it down and say Jesus this
morning
I can’t bring you to that place the Holy
Ghost has to bring it to that place but
the word of God is cleansing it can
cleanse you
heavenly father I’m asking you to speak
all over this house
I’m asking you to speak clearly
let no one walk out of here
clutching a weasel let no one walk out
here holding on to a secret sin
let no one walk out here O Lord holding
on to a besetting sin he said put it
away
cast it aside Let It Go
the that does so easily be set that
sin that so easily surrounds us and
tries to rob us and bring us into a
surrender Lord we’re not going to
surrender to the end and they were going
to surrender to the Holy Ghost today
Hallelujah
gonna be a lot of people coming Folks up
in the balcony just go to the to the
side stairs on either side and come down
any aisle
Hallelujah God’s speaking to your heart
come on
just bring it down nobody needs to know
what it is nobody needs to know
whatsoever between you and the Holy
Spirit
amen don’t hide from the Holy Ghost obey
him if he’s speaking to you if he says
this is your day and folks
God doesn’t want you to delay every day
you put it off it gets harder becomes
more and more difficult
because sin gots deeper and deeper
entrenched it takes root
the time to deal with it is when the
Holy Ghost
has applied the ax to the root
please move in close move in tight if
you can if you will please
for the Lord God is a son and shield
the Lord will give Grace and Glory
no good thing will he withhold from them
that walk uprightly blessed is the man
that trusteth indeed
you’re forgiven the iniquity of your
people you’ve covered all their sins
that was taking away all thy wrath that
was turned thyself from the fierceness
of thine anger Now show us Mercy O Lord
and grant us salvation I will hear what
God the Lord will speak he shall speak
peace to his people and to his Saints
but let them not turn again to their sin
Hallelujah God wants to speak peace to
your heart the moment you face it to say
oh Jesus here

I want every one of you that have come
forward now foreign

the voice of my supplication

thee that will answer me

heart and I can glorify your name then

I thank you for the great love and
compassion you have for your body
