Mysteries


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. This is not the world that is to blame. It is the church that’s asleep; it’s the church that was supposed to be betrothed to Jesus. The only one who is awake at the end of the age is the voice crying out, “Wake up, the Bridegroom is coming!” (Matt. 25:6). If no one knows the day or the hour, how did the wise virgins know it was time to go out and meet the bridegroom?

 

The foolish virgins are those who do not know the mysteries of the kingdom. The Greek word for fool, “moros,” comes from the word “musterion,” which is the Greek word for mystery. The mystery speaks of the hidden or mystic sense. This may be hard for some people to receive because of the terminology but that is how all the major Bible dictionaries define it  (BDB, Strongs, Faussets). The foolish virgins are those in the church who did not fill themselves up with mysteries of the kingdom that Jesus taught. Once the foolish realized they had missed it, the foolish begged the wise for their oil. I believe something is going to happen that is so extraordinary that it is going to make the foolish virgins desperate to get the oil. The wise said to the foolish that they had to go buy the oil. It is not free. What makes us think that we’re just going to get everything for free? 


We also see this in the parable of the talents where Jesus comes back expecting us to have multiplied what we’ve been given. He is not speaking of multiplying finances - He’s speaking of multiplying the mystery of the kingdom through giving it to others so that His seed Word can grow in them too. Jesus said you must forsake all to come after Him (Luke 14:33). The Early Church sold their homes and possessions and threw the money at the feet of the apostles. Those men and women of God understood what it meant to leave all.


We need to remember that salvation is not free; it will cost you everything. Sin is ignorance of the truth, which is spiritual debt. The only way to pay off debt is with money. True wealth is the mystery of the kingdom, and we can only purchase it with our time. It all comes down to how much value we place on the Word. If we don’t have much time, we won’t have much oil at the end of the age. This is why we need to make sure we prioritize our time to buy the oil. The Early Church taught that the oil merchants are the apostles and prophets who reveal the mysteries of the kingdom.  Apostle Paul taught that the Holy Spirit reveals the mystery of Christ to His holy apostles and prophets (Eph. 3:5). The apostles and prophets hold the mantle to teach the body of Christ what the Holy Spirit has revealed to them. 

 

According to Temple tradition, the High Priest was known as the “thief in the night” who would patrol the temple at night to catch those who were asleep. If any priest was found asleep during the night watch, the high priest would come and take a coal from the golden altar and light their garment on fire. Our true High Priest, Jesus, is coming as a thief to those in the church who are asleep to spiritual truth, not knowing the day or hour He is coming. Paul tells the Thessalonian church that they are children of the day perfectly knowing the day of the Lord (1 Thes. 5:2). Those who are awake to spiritual truth are those who know what time it is and will be found awake, or children of the day, at the second coming of our Lord. 

 

The signs are all here. Just recently, a sign appeared on the East Gate of Jerusalem. It is prophesied in Ezekiel 44 that when the Messiah returns, He will come through the East Gate. The name of the LORD is starting to appear on the wall of the East Gate for all to see. The first three letters have appeared on the wall and the fourth letter is now forming. That mystery is a sign that the LORD is getting ready to seal His remnant, the 144,000, as prophesied in Revelations 14. God is choosing His remnant and is getting ready to seal them for the end. There is only one letter left, which shows us how close we really are to the end. There are no second chances for those who miss it. We are in the time of the Feasts of the Lord and He is going to bring a big shift. Buy the oil and get your heart right with the Lord while you still can. 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

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
