Come Out of Her My People



The early church believed in what is called millennialism, which is what Peter referred to when he taught, “Do not forget one thing, that a day is equal to a thousand years and a thousand years is equal to a day (2 Peter 3:8).” These apostolic men all believed that after six thousand biblical years we would enter the true Sabbath, also called the Millennial Kingdom. The early church knew that there would be two advents of the Elijah ministry. They taught that at the end the church would be in such a bad state that they would need the Elijah ministry in order to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah.

 

Have you heard this in the church before? How does Elijah fit into your end time eschatology? The church cannot be prepared for the coming of Christ unless they are prepared by the teachings of Elijah. Jesus himself said that Elijah will come and restore all things (Matthew 17:11). While some churches teach that Jesus was referring to John the Baptist this cannot be the case since John had already been martyred by this point. Jesus said that Elijah “will come” which is future tense - this means there is another coming.

 

This is why we have to go back to the Ante Nicene Fathers, who were before the Roman Catholic church. These men  were the purest of all when it comes to understanding what Jesus and the apostles were teaching. They believed that apostles and prophets would be in the church until the return of Christ Jesus. There are churches that don’t believe in apostles and prophets anymore, but the early church taught that apostles and prophets must and will be here until the end. They also believed that the gifts of the Spirit, or the Charismata would be here at the time of the end. Those gifts are here to help us and prepare others to help us get ready. Today’s churches are preaching a different gospel than the gospel of the early church.

 

They also taught that the oil was divine teaching and believed in the revelation of the mysteries of Scripture. They taught that healing comes by revelation. Most Christians don’t walk in healing nor have seen anyone get healed. Some churches even teach that healing is of the devil. In Mark 16:17, Jesus said these signs will follow those who believe (casting out demons, healing the sick and raising the dead). The people who come against that are not believers.

 

The apostles and prophets are here to get the church in order. The prophets have always been attacked by God’s people. The prophets come to bring divine teaching to get the people back on track because they have fallen away from a true understanding of God’s Word. The foolish virgins did not have enough oil or divine teaching to go out and meet the bridegroom. When you don’t take God’s servants seriously, like the Hebrews did with John the Baptist, you won’t be ready for what God is about to do.

 

Babylon means a mixture in the anointing, or a mixture in the teaching. Fausset’s Bible Dictionary says that the harlot Babylon is the religious system, the church that has been committing adultery with different doctrines. Babylon is the harlot church that rides the beastly nature because they have beastly understanding. There are two sealings happening all at the same time: those who receive the mark of the beast and those who are being sealed by God’s apostolic teaching.

 

According to the prophet Isaiah, Satan is the head over Babylon, the religious system. The Lord rebukes the Hebrews for playing the harlot with other gods, other teachings. The church today had different Gospels being preached, different denominations that are displaying the harlotry in the church. The church was never like this in the beginning. Jesus said that the seed is the Word, so if you are receiving another teaching, or a different Jesus is being preached to you, then that seed teaching will be at war with the Seed of God. This war of seeds was prophesied in Genesis 3:15 when it says “and his seed will be at war with her seed."


We need to ask ourselves if we’re really married to Jesus or if we are married to the counterfeit. 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
