You know, there's two big fears of all speakers. One is falling off the stage, which does happen from time to time. I've seen it. I've never experienced it. And the other is, you know, my zipper's undone. And that's, those are the big fears of speakers. Once you get past that, everything else is pretty, everything else is downhill from there, you know?

All right. Well, let's just open in prayer this morning. Father, we asked today, God, that you would come and that you would be with us this morning, God. This early morning, I know that

coffee is just now beginning to kick

in and people are just really starting to wake up. And Lord, we ask that today would be just

a fantastic day, God, with all the speakers, that there would be no technical issues, that everything

would just flow smoothly and that the conference would go off

without a hitch. And Lord, we ask that you would give us eyes to see, that you would give us ears

to hear what your spirit is saying. And, Father, we thank you for it in Jesus' name. Amen.

All right. Well, let's just jump right into the word.

Let's go to Revelation chapter 7, verse 1 through 4.

Now, it should be up on the screen in case you make sure.

If I don't have my reading glasses, I can't read my Bible.

All right, Revelation 7, verse 1 through 4, it says this,

After these things, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,

holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God,

and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels

to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

saying, do not harm the earth, the sea or the trees,

till we have sealed the servants of our God

on their foreheads, and I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000 of all the tribes

of the children of Israel were sealed.
