Urban Life Church Prophetic Call

This is the COMMISSIONING CEREMONY (May 30, 2004) in which Chris and Carol Green

were released from their home church and sent out to pastor the Urban Life Church in Harrisburg, PA.

where hands are laid upon individuals and prophetic words are spoken to confirm the calling upon the lives

The word of the Lord came and said O’ man of God I am sending you because you have gone through the stages of sprouting, budding, blossoming and fruit bearing. For I am sending you to a people who have known the bitterness of the law, the legalistic attributes of the law, but they have never tasted of the sweet almond of the Spirit of Truth; And where there have been countless others who have come before, and have tried to navigate the word, I am sending you because you know what it is to live in bitterness and to wait for the promise of the sweet life in Christ.

I raise you up O’ man of God as a prophet to this era, that you would bring healing indeed to those who are broken and bereft of hope. For I will, indeed, speak to the generations in their various shades of development. To the younger ones who are merely sprouting, looking for hope; to the older ones who have only known the legalistic, ritualistic practices of the law; to those who have desired to bloom and yet have been squelched by a religious order that is not of me; and even to those who are in their fruit bearing years, I am sending you. For I have the precious seed of my word of an almond deep within your being. The bitterness of the hull shall be stripped away by the fire that is within your mouth saith the Lord. And even with that fire there will be a gentleness, for there is much need of healing, much need of recovery, much need of dealing with the past with this people I am sending you to.

And O’ woman of God I am sending you and raising you up in this hour with a word of counsel. For indeed this shall be a season that you will blossom and bloom. It will be a season where you will spill forth counsel, unpremeditated counsel. For the word of the Lord shall spill through your lips like rain;

Like dew drops upon a parched barren land are some of souls of the people that I am sending you through. But you will speak the word of the Lord and in an instant you will see vegetation sprout forth, in the name of Jesus.

And O’ woman of God we break off from you now, timidity and fear and all the perfectionism that has held the deep deposit of God within you captive. This hour you are released, released, released, that the vintage wine of God will flow and that many will know I am in this place indeed.

Even as Jeremiah, God asked Jeremiah the prophet, “What do you see?”

I say, I see a branch in bloom and it is blooming in winter and some of the fruit that will mature will be:

“People that are in the winters of their life.

The broken, the hopeless, and the lost will hear.

The discouraged and the homeless will come.

In the winter of their lives I will move upon their souls.

I will mend and make completely whole.

O’ spring O’ well of counsel within your servants tonight.

Chase away all grief, all sorrow, and all fright.

I am sending you in full bloom and fruit that’s certainly sure.

I am alert. I am active to perform My Word.

I am sending you in full bloom, sending you for sure.

I am active and alert to perform My Word.”

-Minister Melissa Clayton, May 30, 2004 Commissioning Service

“God says He has already provided for you. He has people and connections and provision already prepared for you. You will set goals that you are going to do things in a year or so, but God says it will be sooner than that. God has done us that way and I just sense the same thing for you. We planned to do things or move in a year or six months, but God would always do it sooner and quicker than we planned.”

God says there is already provision. People just sent us money and resources. People we didn’t even know and God just provided for us. God says He already has provision for you.

God says He’s going to honor you for your faithfulness to Him and to your brother. Many years of sowing, God is going to multiply back to you. The heavens are opened over you.

You will build with great order. Like an architect you will build with blue print, designs and structure right from day one.

Pastor Carol, God says there are gifts inside of you that have not yet been tapped. They will come forth when you get to Harrisburg. Your family will not know who you are, but God is going to use you.”

– Pastor Michelle Forde, Reformation Life Centre, Trinidad, Saturday, April 26, 2003.

“While we we’re praying for you (both) I saw a tree and its roots were very, very deep. The tree was strong and immoveable. The significant thing about the tree was that the leaves were bright and the fruit on the tree was very large. And the fruit was very bright and was shining with the glory of God.”

– Ronald Greene, Reformation Life Centre, Tunapuna, Trinidad, Saturday, April 26, 2003

God has a computer file with the name of your ministry. If He pulls up the name of your ministry, there is a list of names of every person who is supposed to be a part of that ministry beginning with your core leadership team. Whoever is supposed to be with you, they will be with you. God is already working in the hearts of those who are supposed to be with you. Don’t stop them from coming with you. God will test their hearts and they will go through many trials just because of their joining, but God is testing their hearts because of the word. That’s just how it is. Do not stop them from coming because of the testing they must go through. God is testing them.

-Pastor Glenn Forde, Saturday, April 26, 2003, Tunapuna, Trinidad (Word of Wisdom)

“Pastor Chris I saw you standing and you had on new raiment. God is going to change your raiment. Your feet were shining because you had on armor that shined with the glory of God. And I saw a street opening up before you and it had streetlights or street lanterns on either side and they shined brightly with the glory of God. And the way was straight. It was a straight path with no turns and curves. The street opened up and extended before you, but as you walked, the street closed behind you. You could not go back. You could only go forward. God says you must always keep going forward. No turning to the left or the right, but you must go forward. You cannot go backward. You must go forward. God says He’s going to provide for you. Everything is already prepared. There is already provision. You must keep moving forward.

God is going to bring a new dimension of closeness in your marriage. You will be ministering in two different parts of the world and you will be so close that you will just know what’s going on with the other one.

God is going to use your sons. They will carry on the legacy. They will be a source of encouragement to their cousins and your families.” - Ronald Greene, Reformation Life Centre, Sunday, April 27, 2003

“God is telling me to tell you, again, that He has already provided for you. There is already provision for you. There are people and resources that He already has prepared for you. Again He is telling me to tell you that it will be sooner than you expect."

-Pastor Michelle Forde, Reformation Life Centre, Tunapuna, Trinidad, Sunday, April 27, 2003

The original commissioning word released publicly about Chris and Carol Green was:
May 26, 1991 (1st Prophetic Word in St. Louis, MO) mp3 audio

“...A trainer and a discipler of men! A pastor who knows every inch of the sheep-fold. When I see shepherds, I smell sheep, and this man is called a shepherd in the House of God!

And I shall put healing in your hands, I’m speaking to both of you now, not individually, but I’m speaking to you corporately; there shall be healing in your hands. I don’t see healing lines, but I see sick beds. And I see hearts that are overwhelmed by the sickness of soul; and torn and wounded lives. And I tell you that I put them upon your heart. And I put anointing in your hands that, together, you may heal them, says the Lord.

Yea, My son, a re-commissioning is taking place, this day, by MY Spirit. And you shall be known as a healer of broken lives!

I give you new psalms to sing. You shall sing out of the old psalms and you shall sing out of the new psalms, says the Lord. And you shall be an encourager by the psalm that I put in your heart. I don’t know if you play an instrument or not, but I’m telling you that music is in every atom of your being. And God’s going to draw that out and use that. And your voice is going to project music; not just a song, but music with the song.

Father, I bless this couple, now, in the name of Jesus. Everyone reach your hands this way. I want to see everyone. I want you to be involved in this re-commissioning today. That they shall be healers in the House of God. And that wounded and broken lives would be drawn by the Spirit to this place…”
