Apostle Michael Petro: Blog

There is a fight for the truth right now. Currently in the secular realm we see a lot of fake news which is really just a reflection of the spread of misinformation going on in the church system. There is a major shift that is occurring, and we need to be ready for this shift. The pattern of old denominations arguing with new revelation has always been there. It is the old wine skin that cannot receive the new wine. We need to bear fruit - that is what the Lord is looking for when He returns.  In 1 Peter 2:9, the Lord calls us a royal priesthood, but to become part of the priesthood you have to go through a washing process. Why do most denominations teach that the priesthood is not important or relevant in our times, saying it has nothing to do with us, when in the early church the apostles taught that the priesthood of the Old Testament was a shadow of what we are supposed to be? We are meant to be endowed with the priestly garments. When Paul talks about putting on the armor of G...

The most powerful thing you can carry is the anointing of God. It has the ability to transform and change you and it has the power to affect others around you. The anointing is meant to increase in you as you grow in the revelation of the Word. In Revelation 1:20, the church is compared to the menorah. We know that in the temple, the high priests filled the menorah with anointing oil every day. This still happens in the spirit realm - every time the Lord anoints us, He imparts more of Himself into us.    The Lord has continued to show me more about the anointing through early church teachings. The anointing that we have within is exactly what we need to become renewed. You need to understand and grasp the fact that you were created to bring heaven to earth. When you can grasp what the anointing is and how to use it, you will understand that nothing is impossible. Scripture tells us that with God all things are possible so there is no issue in your life that the anointing canno...

                                                    Currently Russia is invading Ukraine and we are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled. In 2015, we did a video explaining a 200-year-old prophecy by Vilna Gaon. He prophesied that when Russia were to invade Ukraine the steps of the Messiah would be heard. Vilna Gaon was a mystic who emphasized the spiritual interpretation of the Torah.  The church today teaches that “no man knows the day and hour,” thinking that Scripture pertains to the second coming of Christ, but the early church taught that it had more to do with Christ’s return in His saints. In 2 Thessalonians 1:10, Paul taught that when Christ comes, He will be glorified in His saints. Malachi says that suddenly (in Hebrew “suddenly” means “in a moment of a twinkling of an eye”) enter His temple. You’re the temple of God. The Lord is going to retur...

  The church needs to get back to repenting and dying to self and to the lust of the flesh. In the early church it was not just about praying a sinner’s prayer - it was about a total transformation of your life. It was proof of the Holy Spirit in your life. One time, I met this sister at a Reawakening conference and she gave us her testimony about how she was a believer, and by most standards a good Christian, but when she had died, she went to hell.    The Lord brought her back from the dead but told her that if He hadn’t, she would’ve spent eternity in hell. She was confused because she really thought she was a good Christian. Jesus told her that He did not even know her. Isn’t that what the Bible says, though? That many in that day would come to Jesus confessing that He is Lord, and He will say to them, “Away from me you workers of lawlessness for I never knew you” (Matt. 7:22-23).   Those anointed in the early church had to firs...

The Lord is continuing to speak to us about the fire, and how it relates to the anointing of God. We need to go deeper into the anointing to really understand what it means. When the  anointing of God is understood, it has the ability to transform us. The Scripture says that His name is like ointment. Ignatius, who was a disciple of the Apostle John, said that the ointment of His name is His doctrine.  When I was a part of the Pentecostal churches, I thought that the anointing was when you got goosebumps or some sort of similar feeling. But I’ve since learned that the anointing is not always a good feeling. The Hebrew word for ointment speaks of the oil as breath, just like when God breathed into Adam. The anointing speaks of a pressing. Why is there pressure? The pressure occurs when we are resistant. When our carnal minds wrestle with the mysteries of the kingdom, God applies pressure to get that anointed Word into us.    When the anointed Word of God comes, it bri...

We are living in the time of “the great falling away,” which means to defect from the truth. It’s not just about us learning the truth - it’s about us walking it out to become that truth. This is why in the early church everyone was required to fast at least twice a week, as a discipline in denying fleshly desires. Some may scoff at that, thinking we don’t need works, but didn’t Jesus say He will know you by your works? (Matt. 7:16). It should be in all of our hearts to walk out the Word like the early Christians did.    The miracles the early church did were because of the price they were willing to pay to walk in that kind of power. Nothing is free. This is why the wise virgins told the foolish virgins to go buy the oil, which is symbolic of the teaching (Matt. 25:9). We live in a time where most of the church expects things to just be given to them for free. The false belief that Jesus did it all at the cross creates entitled Christians.  There are also those who think...

                                                     The Lord is releasing an understanding of the fire. The fire speaks of a passion for the Word of God, but Scripture says that most Christians will be lost because they will defect from the truth (2 Thes. 2:3).  We need to remember that the message of Jesus’ love is not just how He loves us, but also how we are to love Him. Jesus said, “Why do you say that you love me but don’t obey my commandments?” (John 14:15). It seems like most believers lose their fire after they get saved. Do you remember how on fire you are when you first get saved? Then that fire goes out. This can be due to going back into a life of sin, or it can be religion and religious mindsets that kill that passion and desire for Jesus. Scripture tells us that the letter kills (2 Cor. 3:6), but the Lord expects us to stay on fire. W...
