The Christ…

It’s time to see who amongst us is a Christ, an anointed one. When you say you are anointed, you are saying you are a Christ - that’s what it means. Peter said that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38) and so if you have the Holy Spirit that means you have been anointed; you are a Christ. It’s religious to think that you can’t be a Christ because Jesus Himself said we can be one with Him as He is one with the Father (John 17:21). All true Christians are anointed, which means to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

 

The Apostle Paul shows the function of the Holy Spirit by showing us that the Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God and reveals mysteries. So, the proof that you are anointed with the Holy Spirit is that you can understand the mysteries of the kingdom. That’s why Jesus said many shall come to Him in that day calling Him Lord and saying, “We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name, but He will say ‘Away from me you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you’” (Matthew 7:21-23).

 

Most churches teach that it’s enough if you can do signs and wonders and pray in tongues, and they’ll tell you that you have the Holy Spirit. That is not what Jesus said. So, if they’re doing all these signs and wonders and praying in tongues in the name of Jesus but Jesus himself says “I never knew you” then what spirit are they operating in? My Bible tells me that the Antichrist does lying signs and wonders. If the Holy Spirit is the teacher and the counselor and is revealing the mysteries of Scripture, then that means the Antichrist is the opposite and is against the teachings of the mysteries of the kingdom. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be anointed to preach the good news, the Gospel. What did Jesus teach in the Gospel? The mysteries of the kingdom (Matthew 13:10-15, Mark 4:34). He was not anointed to pray in tongues, to do signs and wonders, he was anointed to preach the secrets of the Scripture. 

 

I used to think that the anointing was everything, until the Lord showed me that the anointing is actually to teach us to go through the veil and into the glory. The anointing speaks of a pressing. The oil, the teaching, has to be pressed into us. When people learn the anointed Word they feel a pressure - that’s because there is a resistance. Our carnal minds oftentimes resist the anointing; we resist the secrets of the kingdom. That pressure is also brought upon us to change. When Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, that garden was a grove of Olive Trees. Scripture says that Jesus prayed so hard that he started to sweat blood. Gethsemane means “an oil press.” Many people think that the anointing is supposed to just feel good, and if it’s painful or if we feel any pressure it can’t be God. That’s a misconception. The pressure of the anointing is for our benefit to walk out the Word.

 

You see I was taught that God is just love, but when He came to me, I was afraid, I was terrified. The light was so intense it was piercing through the fabric of my blanket. I rebuked the Lord over and over because I thought it was a demonic attack. Because of the fear I felt I thought there was no way it could be God since I was taught that God is just all loving. That is when I realized I did not know this God. I was praying to a different God. It is like Paul said you can be preaching a different Jesus, (2 Corinthians 11:4) and at that moment I realized that I experienced what Moses did when he was in the Lord’s presence and was terrified. John the revelator, the one who laid his head on the breast of Jesus, fell on his face like a dead man when he saw Jesus in the glory. What the church system taught me was a different Jesus than the one John knew, different from whom Moses met. 

 

When the glory comes what is it going to look like? The Jews teach that when Moses came down Mt. Sinai, his face shone with the glory and that all the men, women, children, and animals lost their bowels and ran in the other direction. Millions of people ran in the opposite direction when they saw Moses with the glory. What Moses had was a fading glory. There is a greater glory to come that the remnant will be clothed in! Think about that, Saints...What is that going to look like? The anointing is the teaching to prepare us to handle that greater glory. The mysteries of the Kingdom will reveal that glory within us. There is not much time left. There is no time to waste. We are all in now or we will miss it for eternity. Amen.

 

Sincerely,

Apostle Michael Petro

Passover 2021 and the Final Move of God

Image
As the congregation gathered for Passover, there was a tangible presence of the Lord in worship. But even in the midst of it, the Lord was telling me that some are still holding onto a spirit of pride and it’s time to let it go. The Lord wants that spirit killed now. Too many are sitting back to observe, worried about what they’re going to look like, but this is not the time to spectate. This is the time to enter in. There was a heavy anointing for healing as almost every person rushed to the front. Many were slain in the Spirit and many cried out in travail. The spirit of revival began to break out. The Lord told me that He is releasing a new anointing for this season, but we have to learn to be sensitive to the Spirit of God. The Lord will pass by those who won’t humble themselves to enter in. The days of pride and the carnal mind are over. It’s time to enter in to the Spirit of Yah. As the presence intensified, some were crying, some were repenting, some were soaking in the presen

The Time is Now

The Time is Now The atmosphere is charged with warfare right now and we should be feeling it in the Spirit. While one party is pushing socialism and communism, the true patriots are standing up to fight. As the body of Christ, we should be all the more prepared and determined to come against these opposing forces with everything we have. We need to remember that our lives are not our own. In the Early Church, those who renounced Christ so that their lives would be spared were not welcomed back. The Lord is looking for those who are prepared to battle no matter the cost. When Elijah met with the prophets of Baal it became a battle for the nation: God’s true prophet facing the false prophets within the corrupt system. Today’s mainstream media have become those false messengers; they’re the prophets of Baal who have an agenda that only exalts the message of Jezebel. It’s a deadly mixture of governmental intimidation and false religion. This false seed is what births the one world governm

Red Heifer: 3rd and 7th Day

Image
It was two years ago that I had a vision of the red heifer. I was suddenly awakened, and, in my room, I could see a red heifer. It was not a dream; it was an open vision. I could walk around it in my room. I was asking the Lord why He was showing me this, and He said, “You only see the head, don’t you Michael?” At this time, the Lord showed me that the red heifers are on the earth, and that they are getting ready.    Just recently five red heifers have arrived, in secret, in Israel. All of them are ceremonially pure. This all has to do with an important, end time prophecy. It’s a sign of the end times. These red heifers are just a natural sign of God’s spiritual red heifers that are prepared and are ready to be used.    There is a prophecy that there would be ten red heifers sacrificed and that the tenth red heifer would be sacrificed by either the Messiah or Elijah. They are saying that this is the tenth red heifer. This has to do with the waters of purification, which use the ashes
