Who Are the 144,000? (Pt. 2)


The only person who can stop you from getting healed and coming into God’s call on your life is you. We have a choice to make to either change or stay in our old ways. My Pentecostal upbringing had me thinking that God was going to do it all for me, but the Word of God says blessed is he who overcomes. So as we overcome old ways of thinking, the Lord is blessing us. 

God expects us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Php. 2:12). If you feel like you just can’t break through to the next level and you don’t want to go on anymore to the point of quitting, there will be an open door for demons to come into your life. Those demons look to prey on those who decide they don’t want to change; they don’t want to grow in Christ any longer. 


God is looking for those who are the fighters. The prophet David was a fighter. Not only did he fight but he taught others to fight, too. You are not just fighting for your own soul and transformation but for others. The Word calls us a royal priesthood. The high priesthood doesn’t walk around defeated; they walk in authority as overcomers. 


I recently spoke with a ranch owner in Texas named Mike Miller, who is a veteran and the founder of Warriors for Ranchers, and he told me about what he has seen living right on the border of Mexico and Texas. He has personally found kids who have been raped and killed. Illegal immigration is such a massive income for cartels that they actually make more money from human trafficking than they do from drugs. 


When cartels bring people in across the border those people have to pay the cartel off. The way they pay them off is being sold into the sex trade, but the debt is never really paid. The cartels lie to those poor women and children, making them believe that it is only temporary, when in fact they are in debt to them for the rest of their lives. What’s happening at the border is not about letting people in - it is about stopping the human trafficking that the cartels are using to exploit others. 


There needs to be a fight in us for this. The Lord is looking for people to rise up to fight for those kids, for those women. If you can’t fight for your own soul then what makes you think that you will fight for others? It is not about us - it was never about us. Our lives are not our own. 


God is looking for a remnant that is not afraid to confront the enemy. We have to press into God to manifest His glory. If you have one person walking in the glory of God, no Antichrist, no army, and no cartel member will even be a threat. When a battalion of soldiers came to get Elijah all he did was call fire from heaven. It wasn’t until the third captain came that he humbled himself before the prophet. 


We should not have a fear of what is coming. This war that is going to take place is not for the faint of heart. I am looking for those who are going to fight alongside me, who will have no fear. If you are afraid to die, then your soul is not ready. The early church was ready to die for the faith. They knew that at any moment their lives could be taken, and they lived everyday as if it were their last. 


We need to live our lives that same way. There should be no fear of death. It starts with a death to self, dying to what we want, our desires. When we just pray and ask the Lord what He wants, what He desires, then we’re on the right track. Saints, we need to live like there is no tomorrow. There isn’t a moment to lose. 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 Torah

Image
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
