Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

The 144,000... We are coming to a time where God is going to start bringing His wrath and judgment on the earth. He’s removing the religious, and He is done with lazy Christians who do not want to have a relationship with Him. Many think that everyone in the church is going to get into the kingdom of God and that the world will be judged, but when you read Romans 1 and 2, it’s easy to see that Paul is talking about the judgment of the church.    The Apostle Paul describes those who will receive the wrath of God. It’s those who are disobedient to truth, those who won’t repent (Romans 2:5-8), and those who suppress the truth. It’s those who are keeping the world from seeing who God is in them (Romans 1:18-19) - they are treasuring up for themselves wrath. When God’s divine nature is being revealed by rightly understanding the Gospel, it gives us that ability to become like Him. We think of sin as lying, cheating and stealing, but sin actually means to be ignorant of the truth. ...

For the last few weeks, the Lord has put Solomon on my heart. The pattern that we see in the Word of how the glory comes is shown through Solomon. Earlier this week, we were in intercession, when all of sudden, an angel appeared. This angel was bright, but not not as bright as others that have visited me in the past. When they appear with an exceedingly bright light, it’s difficult to see the form or shape because the brightness is almost blinding. I asked, “Who are you?” The angel said to me, “I am Wisdom.”  Wisdom is here to help us go through the final stages, making the adjustments that we need to make for the final move, for the glory to come. We have been praying for this baptism of fire, the final fire that dedicates the temple. There are some who are waiting for a temple to be built in the Middle East but Paul says we’re the temple. This temple built by the hands of man is not where He seeks to dwell but instead he seeks a place in you, the true temple of God (Acts 7:48). ...

Reprobate Mind… What is a reprobate mind and how can we spot it? The reprobate mind is a  religious spirit and is often seen in one who does not want to follow headship. Those who want to do their own thing and won’t submit to the truth are in danger of becoming reprobate. This mind is one of the things that will manifest itself at the end of the age. In Scripture, we can see how Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset. The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8) so the way he handles the reprobate will also be the same.    Many in the church perceive Jesus as soft, loving, and non-offensive. But when we pick up our Bibles it’s easy to see how confrontational Jesus was, and still is, against religious spirits. In the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 12:33-37) Jesus called the Pharisees a bunch of vipers right to their faces. Wait…where’s the love? I thought it was all about love and we can only say things that edify? Those with a  religious mindset often sa...

Spiritual Fathers The shift into the Millennial Kingdom is eminent. I believe a lot of things will happen around the upcoming Spring feasts, right around Passover. Doors are opening into TV ministry and we need to pray into next steps. This is a time of pressing in. Some of the final foxes we’re dealing with are going to be dealt with very quickly. We know that trials and tribulations come because of the Word’s sake (Mark 4:17). Opposition is needed in order to grow us up and mature us. When we’re going through the battle, we need to press through more than ever. All this baby stuff about feeling bad for ourselves needs to stop. I’m looking for the seals, the ones who are ready to take on the battle. When Paul was imprisoned and in terrible conditions, he counted it all joy (James 1:2). He knew that the affliction would perfect him. The Early Church knew that without the apostles there was no church. That’s why they guarded the apostles with everything in them. The more the apostles br...

The Christ… It’s time to see who amongst us is a Christ, an anointed one. When you say you are anointed, you are saying you are a Christ - that’s what it means. Peter said that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38) and so if you have the Holy Spirit that means you have been anointed; you are a Christ. It’s religious to think that you can’t be a Christ because Jesus Himself said we can be one with Him as He is one with the Father (John 17:21). All true Christians are anointed, which means to be filled with the Holy Spirit.   The Apostle Paul shows the function of the Holy Spirit by showing us that the Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God and reveals mysteries. So, the proof that you are anointed with the Holy Spirit is that you can understand the mysteries of the kingdom. That’s why Jesus said many shall come to Him in that day calling Him Lord and saying, “We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name, but He will say ‘Away from me you workers of ...

The enemy knows what’s coming and he’s pulling out all the stops. This is not a time to be lax or let down in any way. This is a crucial time where our intercession really needs to be on point.  We need to remember that the Early Church was a family, even to death. Many of Polycarp’s spiritual sons died for him. They had such a strong belief in what Polycarp was teaching that they were willing to give their lives – how many would be willing to do that today? In today’s church many will say one thing to your face and do another behind your back. Jesus talked about being persecuted for his name’s sake and that persecution can come from within the church and from those who should be our brothers and sisters. We are in a serious time. Freedom of speech is being lost and the government is beyond corrupt. The election was stolen and the proof is there; it’s all going to come out. There is a violent spirit within the democratic party – they know they’re about to be busted. People in Biden...

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 ta...
