The Soul and the Seven Spirits

 


I'm going to show you today how the apostles and prophets are the ones who govern the church and if we’re not under that kind of authority then we’re really not part of the church. This pattern was set in the beginning, and it hasn’t changed. But it’s clear to see that the church has changed from this apostolic order. The apostles and prophets are the only ones able to prepare the souls of those in the church to present them to Go as perfect.
 
This is the whole issue of what we see in Malachi. The Lord is calling His priests messengers. In the Hebrew it is the word “malach” and it is the same word for  angel. An angel is not a winged creature, it is a person who has heard the message, walked it out, and has become that message. The high priest was considered angelic. They would come to remind the people of the law of Moses. People say that there is no way we can walk it out but how do you reconcile Zachariah and Elizabeth being blameless in the commandments of God? 
 
That is the lie that we’ve been told that no one can walk out His commandments because it is impossible. Most of the church has thrown them out and that is exactly why God has to send His messenger, the spirit of Elijah, to bring truth back to the church. This is what happened in John the Baptist’s time - he was sent to turn many of the children of Israel back to God. To turn means to repent. They were being led astray from the truth and needed to turn back to that truth. 
 
We’re taught in the church today that all we have to do is pray this prayer and we are set to go. That was never the case in the Early Church. Clement of Alexandria wrote about how salvation comes by having the hidden mysteries revealed to you. Jesus Himself said “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me” (John 5:39). When you start to learn the mysteries it has the ability to wash your soul. In the book of Malachi, it’s clear to see that God is not pleased with the priests at the end of the age because they’re not cleaning up the church with revelation. 
 
Ignatius, who was a disciple of the Apostle John, wrote that those who have departed from the apostolic church and aren’t under the authority of the Bishops, presbyters and deacons are not part of a church. Those three positions are apostolic and prophetic. How many churches do you know today that are following this order? This is the order that was set in the Early Church and we have to go back to it to even be considered part of the church. 
 
The church cannot be prepared unless they believe in the apostles and prophets that are being sent to them. The bottom line is that Elijah is going to seal the remnant church with the Word that will prepare them and discipline them for the coming glory. The glory is coming through His people that have been prepared - we’re not going to fly away. Why would we need to worry about being chased down by the Antichrist if we’re covered in the glory? No one will be able to touch those who step into the glory of God. 
 
Jesus is not looking for everyone. At one point, He had five thousand followers, and another time He had three thousand, and they pretty much all left. Jesus had two mega churches that left him. Jesus was a horrible evangelist by today’s standards, but again, he’s not looking for everyone. So why do we keep hearing that everyone is going to make it? 
 
The true church is represented by the Menorah. The dragon with seven heads in the book of Revelation is the false church. The Menorah also represents the seven spirits of God, which means that the church is meant to carry the seven spirits of God. Every one of the seven spirits has to do with wisdom and knowledge, not signs and wonders. To be anointed with the seven spirits of God means you were anointed with wisdom and with high priestly knowledge. 
 
Ignatius said that the high priests are the ones who have been entrusted with the secrets of God. If you have the seven spirits of God, you are equipped to understand the mysteries of God. The dead churches don’t have the seven spirits of God. The fear of the Lord is one of the seven spirits and yet you don’t really see that in the church. Instead, you hear that it is all about unconditional love and a non-offensive gospel. 
 
The fear of the Lord is one of the attributes of Elijah at the end of the age. The way he will preach and operate will be through the fear of the Lord so that people will repent and get ready. The Bible says we are supposed to walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. 
 
The time is already here. You need to ask yourselves, “Am I hearing the preaching of Elijah?” When the glory comes, Jesus is going to walk through them. Right now, I'm inviting you to the final move of God, the wedding feast. Those invited, which was the church, didn’t come because of the cares of the world.  After that the Lord raised up an army to destroy those who refused to come. It’s time to enter in now, Saints. Amen.
 
Sincerely, Apostle Michael Petro

    There are many Christians who cannot find a church that is under the supervision of a true apostle, therefore, many believers have to study the teachings of the original apostles, of the apostolic Church Fathers, and of the Ante-Nicene fathers, by themselves or in very small groups. It is a form of being under true apostles.

    Many Christians who have left "a church" have not fallen away or lapsed from the Faith. They have just had to walk away from places where the Word of God is not respected, is no longer the standard, places where entertainment is more important than the kingdom of heaven.

    Right now, in many countries, Christians have to hide and study the Bible in secret.

    It is a real battle for many sheep.

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 Torah

We have been taught that the final harvest has to do with people, but the Early Church taught that the harvest is actually the fruit in our lives. Understanding what that fruit is and how it is produced by the Torah is the foundation for the final move of God. The Early Church’s understanding of fruit goes against modern day church’s theology. For one, most churches have thrown out the Torah, and instead teach that Jesus did it all at the cross. Fourth century Early Church Father, Eusebius, speaks about those who have done away with the Torah:   “ Some of the heretics simply deny the Law and the Prophets for the sake of their own doctrine . And under the pretense of grace , they have sunk down to the lowest abyss of perdition .”   This proves that the message, “We’re not under the law - we’re under grace” was not part of the Christian faith and was not believed by the Early Church - it is heresy. That is why I thank God for getting me out of that belief system that would’ve taken me st

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
