The Face of God



We are so close to the end move and we need to be prepared for what is coming. God is moving in miracles I have never seen before. We need to be ready to train others. Someone recently reminded me of a prophetic word that I got years ago from an Indian prophet, Pastor Thomas, and now we are seeing those things he prophesied come to pass. 

We finally have more people starting to speak up and take a stand. I just interviewed Father Altman, a Bishop of the Catholic church, who has taken a firm stand against the Pope. He called the Pope a viper, along with all the other bishops who failed to stand up against abortion. He doesn’t even call him the “Pope”-  he calls him by his real name, Jorge Bergoglio. He also referred to all the bishops who wouldn’t stand for biblical truth as a brood of vipers. This guy was intense and also spot on!


As we spoke, I brought up the Didache and the Constitution of the Apostles concerning abortion and he knew exactly what I was talking about because he has studied those documents as well. Most Christians do not even know about these early Christian writings that were given for the instruction of the church. Father Altman also called out Jorge for bypassing the Bishop at San Francisco for denying Nancy Pelosi communion because of her support of abortion because he should’ve denied her communion years ago. You cannot be a Christian or a Catholic and support abortion. In the early church, they would kick you out of the church for committing that sin because it is murder. 


However, if you had an abortion before you came to the faith or were not taught in your church that is another thing. The Lord will forgive your ignorance and bring you in to get cleaned up and healed. But if you’d been taught and you still did it anyway, that was just cause to be thrown out of the church. There is no middle ground in the church. The early church was on fire for the Lord and compromising the Word was never an option. That is one of the reasons why they walked in immense power. 


Lactantius, a third century early church father, spoke about the fire that would be released at the end. This is the fire of God. He taught that the fire would be released on both the righteous and the wicked. The wicked will be scorched by this fire because of the sin in their lives. The righteous who are full of virtue will be purified by this fire; it will have no destructive effect on them. The Jews call this the Elijah fire. 


There is fire in all three levels of the temple. In the Outer Court you have the Brazen Altar that is the fire for sacrifice and repentance. The fire in the Holy Place is the fire of the anointing by the Menorah. Then we have the fire in the Holy of Holies, where God is an all-consuming fire.  


Origen speaks about the face of God and what it means to see His face. One of the controversies among some of the Jews was concerning Isaiah seeing the face of God. Many rabbis considered Isaiah to be a false prophet because the Word says that “no can see His face and live” (Exodus 33:20) and Isaiah wrote that he had seen the Lord (Isaiah 6:5). Moses was told that no man can see God’s face and live, yet the Lord told Aaron and Miriam that He knows Moses’ face to face (Num. 12:8). This is not a literal death the Lord was talking about because Moses had seen the Lord’s face and was still physically alive. It is a death to self. 


Origen explained that when the Seraphim covered the face of God it was symbolic of the end. This does not mean that the end times will be veiled for all time, but as Amos 3:7 says, “God does nothing in the earth until he reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.” Also, the book of Revelation says that as the seventh trumpet is about to blast the mystery of God will be finished as declared by His servants the prophets. The prophets will see the face of God and reveal the end times to the church. 


The Lord is looking for those who are preparing themselves for the fire of God. We can’t live in sin and think that God is going to overlook it. This fire is going to come, ready or not. In Psalm 12:6, David said, “The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.” So, the Word is like fire. The Hebrew word “lahat” is what is used to describe the flaming sword in the book of Genesis that surrounds the Garden of Eden. Lahat means secrets. To be prepared for that all-consuming fire we need to be consumed by the fiery secrets of God’s word. 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

Red Heifer: 3rd and 7th Day

Image
It was two years ago that I had a vision of the red heifer. I was suddenly awakened, and, in my room, I could see a red heifer. It was not a dream; it was an open vision. I could walk around it in my room. I was asking the Lord why He was showing me this, and He said, “You only see the head, don’t you Michael?” At this time, the Lord showed me that the red heifers are on the earth, and that they are getting ready.    Just recently five red heifers have arrived, in secret, in Israel. All of them are ceremonially pure. This all has to do with an important, end time prophecy. It’s a sign of the end times. These red heifers are just a natural sign of God’s spiritual red heifers that are prepared and are ready to be used.    There is a prophecy that there would be ten red heifers sacrificed and that the tenth red heifer would be sacrificed by either the Messiah or Elijah. They are saying that this is the tenth red heifer. This has to do with the waters of purification, which use the ashes
