Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

I’m going to share what I left out of last week’s message. The Lord told me that the shift is here, and with this revelation we have enough to get across. We are at the point now where the Lord is looking for those who want to cross over. This morning I got two confirmations about today’s message.  The Lord is saying it’s time to repent because there is no more time left. I just heard of this person who was just baptized and when they came up, they were shaking and saying that the Lord is coming soon, there is no more time, and that we need to repent before it’s too late. One of our pastors just sent me a message this morning telling me that the Lord told him that the Lord is starting to prune people out of the church to prepare for the harvest. For a tree to grow and produce more fruit, the dead branches need to be pruned.  One of the most important things that we need to understand is who we are and what God has called us to be. In the early church they described the Cherub...

We are at a crossroads right now where things are getting so bad that God won’t let it go much longer. He is going to bring swift judgment into this nation if there is no repentance. We can claim our faith to be Christians but faith without works is dead (James 2:17). It’s time for a season of prayer and fasting for what is happening. With everything going on with Russia, we need to take this time very seriously. In the early church a simple confession that “Jesus is Lord” was not a means of salvation. Jesus himself said that if we love Him, we’ll keep His commandments. Justin Martyr, a second century Christian apologist, said that those who profess to believe in Jesus but do not have the correct doctrine are not true Christians. In their time, there were heretics who claimed to be Christians and confessed Jesus as their Lord, but they were heretics nonetheless. You cannot be a heretic and a Christian at the same time.  No one can walk out the Word unless it has been revealed. Deut...

The Lord spoke to me and told me that He is going to start pulling in people by His power. He told me that the next move will seize people. The Lord told me that we have to get our faith levels up, and instead of asking for the souls, tell Him that we’re going to go and get these people. The Lord is putting it all in motion now - no more waiting. A lot of people are going to start coming to the Lord, even starting this week.  The soul is the place of emotion. It is where we struggle with things in our lives such as depression, which stems from wounds in our souls in those deep places where we need healing. The Word of God is what gives the remedy your soul needs to cover those holes. The early church taught this happens through the Word being revealed to us.  They call this process the ascension of the soul. The soul ascends through sanctification and moral perfection. This ascension is not just in our understanding but also in departing from the cares of the world. The care...

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 call...

Amos 3:7 tells us that the Lord does nothing on the earth until He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets. Why does God do it this way? It’s in order to give those who hear the prophets a chance to become a part of what God wants to do. Before God begins to move, He reveals His intentions to the prophets to declare and forewarn His people. At that point, it’s up to the people to decide.   We need to move by faith instead of waiting for God to do something to bring change in us. God is waiting for us to do something about it. Faith without works is dead. We can say we believe and have faith, but where is the faith? Jesus asked if He’ll find faith when He returns (Luke 18:18)? We can read and study all day, but unless we put it into practice, we are just the hearers of the Word but not doers.    Early church teachings completely destroy modern-day, false teachings that the 144,000 in the book of Revelation are Jews after the flesh. The Apostle Paul said that we ar...

I am 100% certain that we are at the end times. If you knew for certain that Jesus would be returning tomorrow, would you be living the way you are right now? How would you be living your life? We need to make sure that we have no aughts with anyone, no issues with anyone. If we are really honest with ourselves, how would we treat each day if we really believed it was the end? I find that my days go much differently when I wake up and ask the Lord, “What can I do today to fulfill your plan and purpose today?” When I live my life the way I want to live it, it’s just not the same. Our lives are not our own and it’s time we start living like it. The Lord is not going to use those who keep their lives as the priority (John 12:25).  A second century early church father by the name of Origen described how the Antichrist will deceive people, and how in every way he’ll imitate Christ. The Antichrist is a pretended/counterfeit word, opposite of Christ, who is the true Word. Antichrist teach...

We are in very dangerous times right now and need to understand that things could shift at any moment. The Russians have warned that if anyone interferes with their invasion, they will retaliate against them. To show they’re serious, they played a video of a nuclear missile that has the ability to wipe out territory as large as the entire U.K. As intense as things are in the outside world, it’s important to remember the most important battle is within your mind.  There’s no doubt we’re in a dangerous position. Our government has aired news about how we helped the Ukrainians assassinate some of Russians generals and destroyed their supply chains. How arrogant is the Biden administration? They are putting this country in harm’s way with the Russians who have already threatened nuclear war. At any moment we could be wiped out. The Lord says that tomorrow is never promised to us (Prov. 27:1). That is exactly how the early church lived, because they knew that at any given moment they co...
