Thank you for uploading this when you did! This was a divine, right-on time message for my personal walk. No more holding "weasels" in Jesus name! God bless
I killed my weasel and GOD has been so patient with me and I’m sure it’s other stuff I have to clean up but that besetting sin I have set aside all praises to JESUS
I struggled with a besetting sin for 20 years after I became saved. It was when I asked God to get rid of it for me because I didn't want it to hinder Him using me in the future that He delivered me from it.
Wow! Very powerful and convicting message. Cut me to the heart. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. Who helps us Kill the Weasel. God bless you and love you all.
I have been so unfaithful to Jesus. I have persecuted Him like Paul by hurting people with my judgments. I want to Love unconditionally like He Loves me. ❤️ I pray God will show me how to Love Him with ALL of my body soul spirit and heart
Thank you lord Jesus christ Yeshua Messiah please send Holy spirit to convict my heart. Deliver me from the weasel sins cleanse me wash me clean again lord Jesus christ name Amen.
Amen God is so good to leave us with these messages he knows these pastors now are herilings that will lead us astray so we have this great Shepard to continue us on the narrow path until his return

Amen, you are absolutely right about sin crossing it's boundaries because the scriptures says if you are guilty of one sin then you are guilty of them all. James 2:10
Amen. Lord Jesus christ please put some of the same zeal and spirit like pastor Wilkerson's Holy spirit annointed in our hearts. That we want Jesus with all our hearts. Holy spirit help us kill the weasels in our lives. That we may soar like the eagles for Jesus christ our savior amen.
I love pastor David Wilkerson my favorite in the whole world... Received so many uplifting messages from him.... He's trying to get a message through . Don't play games with the weasel ... Because the consequences.. could be detrimental to your health and cause permanent damage... People have to break the cycle .. tomorrow may be too late... You may not have the time to go back and ask God for your forgiveness over and over again.. we are living in the last days the prophecies are unfolding before us..... Be strong .. show some consistency and. Restraint and progress with your faith to God... Which can only be done by resisting sin.. with all your heart and all your.. might.... We must do blessings to receive blessings... And when you do these Good deeds know that you are doing them in the name of Jesus... And within your heart you will feel the same.. amen and God bless David Wilkerson if you are new to his preaching I honestly believe that there will never be another preacher in my lifetime has done such great work at touch so many lives around the world as he has done..🙏🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗🫂
I agree with this life saving message and praying same in lord Jesus christ name heal me lord Jesus christ and I shall be healed. He heals the broken hearted and binds up there wounds psalm 147,3.Amen.
I thank God for this Pastor. Just as Elisha's dead bones healed this man's sermons are helping me to heal from the grave. I haven't one friend to talk with but I have Jesus and pastor Wilkerson and a few others on you tube. I just pray by the power of the holy spirit I can get join the spirit and conquer my besetting sin before its too late
Dear brother John Baird, I hear your heart cry. Our Precious Lord will provide for you. Fear not. He has heard your cry. He will not let you down. This besetting sin will be no more. Christ already paid for it on Calvary. You will wake up one day & realize the sin is no more. He won the victory. Put your spiritual armor on daily. Pray without ceasing. You are needed to fight for others to be born again. So many who are reading these comments will pray for you. I am praying for you.
Amen. The Lord bless you and keep you the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace. Amen praise the lord Jesus christ our savior name amen.
God bless you. I, too, only have one friend in my town. And one in Washington. Yet, God has given me so much more alone! Praying for you 🙏 ❤️ 💛 💓 ♥️ 💗 🙏 ❤️ 💛 💓 ♥️ 💗 🙏 ❤️ 💛 💓 ♥️ 💗 🙏
WOW. HALLELUJAH. I found this message 03.04.2023. I sent a message and "killed the weasal 03.02.2023. (Literally called him a weasel.. and I NEVER. Use that word.).. This sermon was posted 02.26.2023. Oh how God has a message made for us ahead of time and He Knows when and how it will make it to us. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Needing a message. And finding a sermon that was posted a few days before.. just on that issue. Wow. God is Awful. (Full of Awe) Glory to God. Thank God for using David Wilkerson.. and many others.
Amen. I'm here after praying about a person who is trying to deepen a platonic friendship. God told me this person is as a 'weasel" - this word is not usually in my vocabulary. God is faithful, I'm disappointed but I fear God more than man and trust only Him. This illustration David used about the Eagle dying in flight is a Word in season Hallelujah 🙌
They waited for an opportune time, we've had years of trials and recently had a house flood and severe sickness over Christmas. I have no willful or unrepented sin. I singlehandedly moved us back into the home on 11th Feb still with work to do - then I was involved in a 4 car crash (not liable) on the way home from work on 14th Feb. God preserved life and limb but the car was a write off. 2m old as my old one broke for good during flood week. I've had amazing encouragement and prayer from this channel and God uses every instance for His good to spread the Gospel. But I've had enough now, longing for Jesus to come for me and my little one. The joy of the Lord is our Strength. Thank you for allowing me to therapeutically cast my cares. People are not so trustworthy as Jesus and John the Baptist knew. God bless all who Love our God in Yeshua's mighty name 🙏 🙌🔥📯
Anyone reading this message please listen and take heed to every word you hear bcs it is true. I am living with the consequences of my sins and it hardens my heart and separate me from God...I prayed and fasted but nothing work bcs I am spiritually dead,I am just living now bcs God's mercy waiting for the breath to leave my body.When the Holyspirit departs then its over and it doesn't make sense...get out of sin now ...sin feels good but there's a penalty ,do not let the Holyspirit depart from you
Ann Marie, the devil wants you to believe that you are separated from God. Look at Peter, Paul, David of the Bible. They all greatly sinned AFTER they knew God and yet, God still used them mightily after their repentance. I will join you in prayer for the return of your spirit filled anointing. God blessed our earthly bodies with bone marrow to restore blood in the case of a weasel attack. How much more would he want our spirits restored through his son Jesus.
Hallelujah God You are so good . I never heard a pastor like this man. "Forgive me for screaming "😂😂😂 no seriously though, I love his sermons. On fire for God. ❤
This was a on time word WOW I'm so in awe of this strong message GOD IS SO GOOD SPEAKING THROUGH THIS MAN OF FAITH LORD I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU YOU TRANSFORMED ME I WAS A TERRIBLE PERSON WHOS DONE TERRIBLE THINGS BUT GOD I WAS WORTHY IN YOUR SIGHT FOR HEALING AND CHANGE CONTINUE TO DO THIS GOOD WORK IN ME MORTIFYING MY FLESH AND SPIRIT SO THT I ABOUND MORE AND MORE UNTIL YOUR RETURN WE ALL DESIRE TO BE THT CHASTE BRIDE THT LAMB WITHOUT A BLEMISH THT SERVANT THT GETS A WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL AMEN LOVE YOU GOD THE FATHER AND CHRIST THE SON💜🙌🙏👍
Me to. But God is greater still than all my sins, his arms not shortened that he can not save. Jesus saves. John chapter 3,16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
The weasel is sneaky & ferocious, they charm their prey with a confusing dance apparently not close enough to pose a threat. However with every move they calculate it to get close enough to pounce. They usually latch on to the back of the neck, sucking the life force dry. They stack up corpses, it's their food AND their sport. Human life is a spiritual battle, the Bible speaks of people as animals. I've just been made aware I'm in the sights of a 'weasel' and your illustration is immensely helpful and accurate. May God give me the wisdom to escape before they move closer 🙏
He is a messenger powerful, I believe he passed away, and these are the messages that he breached while he was on the Earth. To share the people of creator I've been listening to him. I have been listening to him for years a few years. He was blessed he was a holy man. I truly believe he lived at his life to please his Heavenly father just as word supposed to live argues to please r Heavily, father heavenly. We're not saved my works but we cannot claim to be save without works

Great Pastor. Tells the truth! I stopped paying my gross receipts because low income. I have so many reasons...I need prayer to get on paying them off! I just want to be a homemaker...not a businesswoman giving money to who knows what, who where it is being laundered, although I know it also goes to good things😭
If your baptism you need a clean cloth an afghannto cover when your naked. If we are of blood drained you need the linen to stop the blood! Abundance with a garment! Is spiritual awakening! We don't want you naked when you come awake in the mornings you need the weight of the garment to hold your pants up. The priest kisses the runner of the Cloth on the altar because he spreads the cloth before him
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Kill the weasel nice sermon title David love it. How about the old man who we used to be when the fall happened in the garden of Eden years before a number of us including the apostles of the early church were even born. Of course how about the comical funniness of Paul when he said what was written in 2 Corinthians 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly and indeed bear with me. That just makes me laugh is what it does to tell the truth about it. Nothing wrong with having a sense of humor knowing what God declares in His word the Holy Bible in Psalms 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh the Lord shall have them in derision.
All Praise Honor and Glory to the Lord of Glory Jesus Christ!

Cell phones are weasels!! Well, they can be. All sin is not overt, some is not even visible to our self. That's scary.
Q.What is the difference between a weasel and a stoat?
A. A weasel is weasely distinguished and a stoat is stoately different. 🙂
12:30 Is Deuteronomy 29:19 not Deuteronomy 21:19.
You are not a sinner because you sin.
You sin because you are a sinner.
Yes you are right. So tell me how are you doing today? And how is your family and the weather over there ??
U shouldn't have to keep announcing the spirit is there 2x?
If your baptism you need a clean cloth an afghannto cover when your naked. If we are of blood drained you need the linen to stop the blood! Abundance with a garment! Is spiritual awakening!
