Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

  There are many right now who are waking up to the notion that biblical debt has more to do with spiritual debt, not physical. In the biblical economy, the Lord uses parables to compare sin to debt and revelation to finances. We are either a slave to sin, Satan, or we are a slave to the kingdom of God. This is why the word servant is translated as slave, which is why the the prophets and apostles are called servants or slaves numerous times throughout the Bible. Paul said he was a slave to Christ (Romans 1:1).    When you are a slave to Christ, you don’t get to do whatever you want. Your life is not your own. We start in debt to sin, but when Christ redeems us with His blood, that makes us a slave to Him. We have to understand the Bible is not just a book about Jesus. The Bible is a book about what Jesus wants us to be. If you’re a slave, you don’t have to think about what to do next because your master tells you what you need to...

We often talk about the resurrection of the body, but before the body can be resurrected, the soul must go through a resurrection process. The first step is understanding the resurrection of the soul, and  how we’re supposed to walk through that process so that we can be a part of it. We need to understand our purpose, because if we don’t, we can never attain the promise God has for us and instead we’ll just wander aimlessly.    The Lord does not need us to worship Him, nor does He need our obedience or our offerings because He is perfect. So, why does he want us to serve Him? The early church teaches that the reason God wants us to serve Him is so that we learn to become like Him. Through serving the Lord, He imparts the benefits of His nature into us, so really we are the ones who benefit from serving God. God created us as containers in which to impart His glory. We become prepared for His glory by serving Him and through the preparation of our souls. He desires us to ...

  Three Dreams For the past week I was approached by three different saints who came to me to share their dreams that they had had recently. All three dreams were similar in that they each were seeing the last move of God happening. They saw that the building into which we have plans to move, had people from all over the world coming to it and these people were all part of the final harvest. All three saints said they experienced the glory of God manifesting in their respective dreams. One saint said they had seen God’s hand come out of the cloud and put something into me. They all shared that there was a sense of urgency, that the sense was that we were out of time. I feel like this switch into the glory can come at any time. What I was hearing as these saints shared their dreams with me is that we need to all get it together and to be serious in our walks and in our seeking of the Lord.  The Remnant   This brings me to what I want to share to you about signs and sins. T...

The Last Move of God This last move of God that I feel is going to explode shortly begins with holiness and righteousness. We are going to cross over a point where there is no going back. But in order to cross over, we must change from our old ways. We don’t want to be like the Hebrews in the wilderness who would not change and for that reason, the Lord did not allow them to cross over into the land of promise but instead, kept them in the wilderness.  Barnabas talks about how we are to sanctify the day with clean hands and a pure heart. The day, of which he speaks, is the true Sabbath rest which is the millennial kingdom or, the thousand-year rule and reign of Christ. We cannot enter that seventh day unless our heart, which is our conscience, has been made pure before God. It follows that our works must be purified and cleansed before God as well. The Lord is looking for a transformation in our walk; a transformation in everything that we think, say and do. It all must be sanctif...

  In this season, it’s important that we’re patient. God wants to fulfill His purpose through us. He is showing us what we need to do now in order to prepare us for what to do next. Many prophetic voices are saying that the final harvest is going to start at the beginning of next year. Every second we have should be used as an opportunity to get ourselves ready. We need to stay focused now more than ever.   Many people in the church are veiled as far as the way they see Jesus. At the end of the age, Jesus is going to reveal Himself in a way that no other generation has seen before. If you believe that Jesus did it all at the cross you’ll never reach all that  God has for you - you have a huge part to play in this! But if Jesus did it all at the cross then why did Paul say that he picked up his cross every day? Also, in Colossians 1:24, Paul wrote, “I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ?” Paul also said t...

                                                 We know from the writings of the early church fathers that the 144,000 are those in the church who are raised up by Elijah and will be sealed. Those who are “spiritual” are those who can supernaturally see the revelation of the prophetic messages that are written in a mystery. I used to think that to be spiritual you had to have encounters with angels, see visions, or speak in tongues, but those things did not define a person as spiritual to the early church.   In Romans 2, the Apostle Paul warns the church concerning the day of wrath and revelation. He isn’t referring to judgment coming on the world, but to the church. The church is under judgment for not having a sincere and penitent heart to walk out truth, and for being disobedient to truth. Paul wrote that to be justified we need to be doers of the law and...

  We recently attended the Reawakening Conference in San Antonio, Texas, and it’s awesome to see so many people waking up to the truth. We’re in a time where many are receptive to what God is doing. The pastors I spoke with are hungry to know more about the Early Church and their end time eschatology. Many can feel that the shift is here and the final move of God is upon us. God is speaking right now, and it’s important that we’re hearing Him. The final harvest is just around the corner.    It’s time to kill those little attitudes because it’s the little foxes that ruin the vine (Sol. 2:15). The 144,000 is not just about those who are sealed in the nature of Christ - it’s also about those who are sealed in the Antichrist. The Early Church taught that we are spiritual Israel. Paul, a Jew himself, said: “For they are not all Israel who are Israel” (Romans 9:6). Paul also taught that the true church are those who are Jews inwardly and not according to the flesh (Romans 2:28-...
