# No-ahh my girlfriend's having a baby
Lolz at the title, most likely only Dawn and Megan or maybe even Jeremy would know where it came from.
Back to reality, Noah and the flood. Yes i said reality. It's amazing to think that the very place I am right now has been totally submerged by water, 6.9 meters of it. Im swimming in space that a great white shark may have swam before. Nemo could have been swimming above my head just as Dory swam around my fingers as i typed.
Ok, enough of the imagination, back to reality. God actually poured out lots of water, underground springs erupted, and 40 days and nights of singing "Rain rain go away, come again another.. decade?" But something I feel that God wanted to do, was to begin a revival.
Revival, not sure where i heard this before (the privilege of being in church for quite a while), but a true revival actually means a restoration to it's original state. What previous state was this? Before Adam even set foot on earth. When the Spirit of the LORD hovered over the waters.
Because only one man was left righteous, God started the most radical revival ever. It must have been tough to be part of that revival. Building an ark for so many years, without even knowing what rain looks like. Having tonnes of room, but having the animals only arriving the day before the flood. Maybe even looking at your neighbours drown and scream out to you for mercy.
Well, we can thank God He's not gonna bring this sort of revival ever again. But this made me rethink the price of revival. Will we still be labouring even when what we want to see has never happened before? Will we still go at it even if we hurt our friend's feelings with our constant nagging of evangelism. What is the price we are willing to pay for a revival. May it be on the scale of Noah.
How so? Just as baptism buries everything of our old self in water, let us have our entire world drowned, just like the days of Noah, and arise, alive only to the one who bought us at the ultimate price.
God send REVIVAL
the story ends like this;
