| Newsletter for 11/16/06- Revival Comes in Like a Flood |
Good Morning,
I want to share with you a revelation that our team member Rocky Sandberg got recently. But before I do, I will remind
you that we have our Ministry Time this Saturday Night @ 6pm in Rainier Assembly of God's Fellowship Hall. Please
feel free to come and worship, learn and receive prayer with us.
We are looking forward to sharing the testimonies from the service at Northlake Baptist on this last Friday. The Lord
moved in a very wonderful way and His Presence was incredible. We are waiting until next week to share these
because so much took place that we want a better chance to quantify it. Numerous things were happening all at the
same time as not only we ministered but also their staff and elders. If you know anyone that is looking for a great
church that knows how to worship and is seeking the things of the Lord, they should try Northlake Baptist!
Please read on as Rocky shares with us what the Lord has shown him. To God be the Glory!!
Working while it is still day,

Last week Pastor Jeff wrote about having a revival within his three foot circle and encouraged all of us to
follow suit. As I pictured this it brought to mind the scripture in Ephesians that exhorts us:
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. "
Having done all to me means exactly what it sounds like. There's nothing more I--Me can possibly do. I've done
it and standing on that knowledge, I wait in His strength. What is it I wait for? HIS presence of course, the only
thing that can usher in true Revival.
So imagine if you would, every time one of us saints decide to stand in our three foot circle a small outpouring
of revival occurs. And then imagine as these saints start to connect in one accord. Can you see the flood that's
coming?
In the area where I live the weather has not been the greatest lately. Driving to work the other day I watched as
heavy rain waters fell, overflowing drains, cascading over roadways, wiping out pretty much everything in it's
path. Some homeowners had placed tarps and sandbags in strategic places trying to redirect the flow, but it
didn't look very successful to me.
As I'm viewing this the thought of Revival came strongly to my mind. And I thought as the torrential waters of
HIS presence bursts the boundaries of the dam (man-made dams), HIS water flows with a mind of It's own.
Nothing can stand before It.
Then I looked into the Cowlitz River and saw it clogged with the dead debris that had piled up throughout the
dry summer, but was now being purged by the floodwaters. And I thought of all the dead debris in our lives
that need a good purging. Come on flood!!!
Then I remembered how, on my drive to work, the people had tried to control or divert the floodwaters on
toward a different direction, trying to save things they deemed worth saving (I'll leave this for another time) but
at the end of the day, the floodwaters won.
Water has a mind of it's own I remind you and it always seeks out the lowest places. But the greatest thing
happens at this low point. It purges, flows and brings back life and that my friends is called REVIVAL!!!
I am so excited as to what GOD has planned for HIS people. Let's join with Pastor Jeff and invite HIS presence
into our own "three foot circle".
Sincerely,
Rocky Sandberg and the Kingdom Power Now Ministry Team
