CHURCH to the church.
Welcome to
Green Pastures Ministries, is a Prophetic ministry speaking to the church, THE CHURCH, and the individuals that ARE THE CHURCH!
Green Pastures is being used of God to help restore the Church to its original calling, and power in the earth, through the establishment of
His Word, in the CHURCH and His love in to his body.
We are founded on the knowledge that GOD continues to speak to His people personally today.
The Church
to the church
We feel that the Lord has given us a
prophetic message for the whole Body of Christ,
for this time in history.
The first restoration (RE-STORE-ation)
is now coming on "The Church"
God wants his Church restored not reformed.
Reform-ation only tried to correct the PAGAN church to make it look like JESUS, and it must be RE-made in HIS image.
The BODY must be resurrected, from it's present dead form.
and the traditional church and the TRADITIONS OF MEN, is passing away.
Does GOD Want a Government, Corporation, Or A Family?
Each time the Apostle Paul wrote, he wrote to the families, using words like "sisters, brothers, sons, fathers..." very seldom to the elders, and never to "the pastor"
It is obvious that Paul knew GOD wanted a family and not any "religious organization", with "ministry and laity" fighting over control, and battling for and manipulating the sheep ($$$$) of His pasture.
JESUS, himself, commanded His followers not to "rule over" one-another, "this must not be so among you", but rather to become servants of all.
The example of the Church being a flock of sheep shows us that the Church cannot be Driven, But must be led,
The only way modern day "shepherds" can drive the sheep, is to set dogs after them; all to often the same is true with the modern day churches and with the "shepherds" / "pastors".
They hire or appoint "dogs", (hirelings) deacons and elders, women's group leaders, under pastors, and all forms of interference's to control and manipulate the flock, so that they (the PASTORS) don't have to have "personal" contact with the dirty smelly sheep.
After all, "isn't that the way they do it in the corporate world?"
"Shouldn't we learn from those around us?"
We should learn from the WORD OF GOD,
and cast down the traditions of men and all thoughts and imaginations that exalt themselves above the Word of GOD.
The Word of GOD says, "If you want to be great...
become the servant of all..."
"I came to serve, or minister, not to be ministered to...."
The Word speaks of "brotherhood" not "organization"
It speaks of "family gatherings" not "church services"
The Church must flee from RELIGION.
If a Christian from the first 30 years of God's church were resurrected today, he or she would have great difficulty accepting that today's Christians are remnants of the original true church.
Such a person would be coming from an environment where brethren were put to death for what they believed.
Miracles were an everyday occurrence.
Christians had gifts of prophecy, they were speaking
in tongues, and even Peter's shadow was causing the
sick to be healed!
While the early Bereans searched the scriptures daily to determine if what Paul said was really true, today most are content to align themselves with organizations of men -- organizations that determine their doctrines for them.
Few Christians have taken the time to prove what they believe; it seems almost absurd to think that they would actually die for these beliefs.
Most would have to admit that today's Christian has made precious few sacrifices for the truth of God.
Instead of proving or even reading, the Truth daily, the average Christian leaves the discovery of truth to "the experts."
Miracles, whether they be healings or acts of divine protection, are virtually unknown.
The Christian world is so faithless, that even the Messiah wondered if He would find faith when He returned!
An objective observer might find it most difficult to believe that today's Christian is practicing the same religion observed by their brethren of the first century.
Malachi 3:6 shows that YHVH has not changed since Eden no less the first century.
If a person's relationship with God (YHVH), his faith, and his willingness to sacrifice for what he believes, is different than it was for early Christians, then it is different because he or she has changed, not YHVH.
Something has dramatically altered the way GOD's end-time people relate to their Father!
The average Christian is not close to God, they have precious little faith.
They are woefully lacking in the power and fruits of the Holy Spirit, and they aren't providing a significant spiritual witness to anyone.
Galatians 6:7 shows that everything in the human realm operates according to laws of cause an effect.
If the early Christians were working powerful miracles, then there was a cause. (a reason)
If today's Christians are not, there is also a cause.
There is a definite reason for today's lack of faith and spiritual power.
There are answers to these problems, and GOD wants His people to be a strong powerful force in the earth.
We, THE CHURCH must again walk by faith and not by sight.
The real CHURCH must begin to operate in the authority they were given by GOD, at creation, and returned to the Church by Christ, after His death and resurrection.
Living In God’s Presence
The real question for the true believer is,
Do you want to live in the very presence of the Father,
Or
Do you want to attend “CHURCH”
Attending church puts a human being between you and your Father and demands you be in subjection to a pastor and higherarchy of men, who will tell you what God is saying.
Living in the Presence of God means that you pass through the curtain of separation between man and God and have a personal family relationship with your Father.
I realize that for some, it is a frightening thing to hear God’s voice, and you really need someone to intervene for you,
But if you can get past the fear, the benefits far outweigh the fears.
The Lord began to show a vision, in it I was standing in the back of the sanctuary in our local church building, against the wall where I could see the whole room.
As I looked toward the front, where the praisers and
worshippers were standing, and to where the speakers
would normally stand, I saw rising out of the floor
right where the podium, or lectern would normally be,
(Wide shoulders, massive arms, a thick torso) As this form raised from the smoke which was now covering the floor and spreading out and rising in the midst of the congregation, the man, now about fifteen feet tall, brandishing a huge sword, six to eight feet in length and half a foot in breadth, bright silvery in color, and shining in the lights from above his head.
The sword was sharpened on both the front and back
edges, with sharp teeth on both edges from handle to
tip.
As the man raised the sword above his head it
glittered and gleamed in the light from above, and he
seemed to raised his face to heaven, tears were streaming from his eyes, then I heard from heaven,
As it stuck the ones to the left and to the right,
it tore their flesh and cut off their arms and some
of their hands and with others their heads were
severed from their bodies, as the sword was swung back to the right, the same thing began to happen to that side.
The man continued to swing his sword from side to side, those that "would" stand closest, began to panic and stampede away from the man with the sword,
some were screaming in pain and fear as they began to try to protect themselves from the blows of the sword. (I believe "The Sword of His Word")
At this time I began to recognize the faces of those
who were being torn by the sword with teeth on both
sides, and I saw the faces of close loved friends
some that had come to the Lord while we were
shepherding this flock, they were being cut and injured.
Blood and body parts were all over the small room, which had now grown and seemed to be without walls.
I called out to the Lord to stop this attack on the
church, and He turned and said, "this is ME, Yahshua,"
He then turned all the way in my direction, and fixed his gaze on me looking right into my eyes and to my spirit, and said, "which one are you, will you resist and be cut and torn, or will you resist my word and die, will you run from me or surrender to my truth?"
As I raised my hands, as though to surrender, the Lord placed His sword of truth against my chest, right at my heart, as my flesh resisted just a little,
Lev 23:2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.(KJV)
(comment: YHVH was having Moses speak TO Israel about HIS HOLY DAYS, not speaking to Israel about "THEIR" holidays.)

Things They Never Told You
Jim Rutz, author of The Open Church says our problems began
when the congregation became an audience.
Dennis Peacock argues that the greater issue is the Kingdom of God and bringing back God's order in the churches.
However, today God's people are a much different breed. While early Christians were being martyred for their beliefs, today's Christian finds it difficult to take a stand on anything doctrinal, and is usually eager to label those who do as "divisive."
In addition, Christians desperately need to find out what that cause is!
We must begin to operate by the Word of GOD, and do away with the traditions of men which leads us away from GOD.
It has become evident to us that something has been terribly wrong with the "church", with its doctrines, and with its practices, for over 1000 years.
One of our modern writers laments, and there seems to be virtually no solution for the downward spiral of the "church" even to this day.
Could it be that "the church" has, in error, been worshipping a "FALSE MESSIAH"?, and not the True Son Of The Living GOD
Word for today
THE VISION OF THE SWORD IN THE CONGREGATION:
smoke rising and from the smoke, a large form, like a man's shape.
Immediately after these words were
spoken, the huge figure began to swing his sword,
first to the left then back to the right, striking
those who "would" stand closest to him.
I AM about to loose the truth into my Body,
Some will resist and be injured,
Others will flee from My TRUTH and be trampled under foot,
Yet others will fight against My Truth,
Which is "sharper that this two edged sword", and will be killed by my TRUTH.
Many others will surrender as my truth is brought into my congregation, and to them, it will be a freeing, and painless process, but I will have a purified Church.
I will separate the flesh from the Spirit, and
the sheep from the Goats."
I thought and considered the options just for a
second, and I could see everyone in the room looking
to see what I would do.
Time seemed to stand still as I looked around the room.
The Lord said, "choose you this day whom you will follow".
The choice was so obvious,
I said, "You Lord,
and your truth Lord,
and your way Lord,
and your will be done."
He thrust His sword of truth through me, it didn't even hurt, and no blood was lost.
This small congregation is representative of the whole Church in the world.
The figure is Christ rising up within the body
of believers;
The sword is the word of God (YHVH) that proceeds out of His mouth;
The word is the truth of YHVH;
As the truth is exposed to the Church, some will
resist the Truth,
Others will run from the Truth;
Many will accept the Truth and be cleansed and
changed and purified.
The Feast days are for the Church today, but hold no promise of salvation or condemnation, but are a remembrance of the plan of God for the Church.
