Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

Revival doesn’t start with a movement; it starts in our hearts. If there's not a fire in our hearts then something is wrong. When we have sin in our lives, and the cares of the world, the fire won’t be there. One of the ways that we catch that fire in our heart is through the process of revelation. The Lord wants to take us through the veil, into the Holy of Holies. That’s the baptism of fire. When the revelation is released, it catches you on fire. The revelation of God’s Word can bring that fire to bring true revival.   When you see an all-black, all-Hispanic, all-Asian, or all-white church, God is not there. Church is not meant to be a social club! When you go to a church and all the races are mixed then you know it’s a revival and God is in their midst. Only a move of God can bring people together from all different backgrounds because His truth brings people together. We’re in a season where there is a major transition happening. All the early church fathers taught about our t

We are in a season of wisdom right now. The true prophets are here to reveal what Scripture is saying to show us what God is about to do. It is the office of the Apostle to manifest the Lord’s will in the Earth through a release of the prophetic. What’s scary is most denominations don’t believe in apostles or prophets. As the seventh trumpet of the book of Revelation is declaring the mystery of God, they will not be able to hear it, because they do not believe in the prophets. The trumpets are the prophets speaking. The Lord likens the end to ten virgins with lamps (Matt. 25). Revelations 1:20 says that the church is the Menorah. The oil is the divine teaching of the Holy Spirit, which are the mysteries of the kingdom. This happens in the middle of the night - the Lord is looking for those who are keeping watch. To keep watch means you are awake to spiritual truth and are giving strict attention to what God is doing. In the parable of the virgins, it is said that they are all asleep

                         We're coming to a point where God is testing us. We are being tested every second of every day, to see what our priorities are. Are we more concerned about the cares of the world or are we focused on the kingdom and getting ourselves ready? God wants to reveal His glory, but what will that look like? Many who talk about the glory often talk about a feeling of “goosebumps” and they think it’s the glory, but when you read your Bibles, every experience someone had with the glory was a terrifying experience. A great example of this is when Moses came off Mt. Sinai glowing and millions of people ran the other direction, and that glory was but a glory that would fade away (Exo. 34).   In Genesis we read how the days of creation are laid out, and on the sixth day God created man. God has different names, but in Genesis when it says that “God” created the heavens and the Earth and made man, the word for “God” is “Elohiym.” He created man in His image. It says that
