We wish for you to meet the minister in the company of Vincent, who is eager to press forward with the Father's work -- more eager even than you. It is a quality that recommends him, and may lead to further assignments of this nature.
We [[wish]] for you to meet the minister in the company of Vincent, who is [[eager]] to press forward with [[the Father]]'s [[work]] -- more eager even than you. It is a [[quality]] that recommends him, and may lead to further assignments of this [[nature]].
Good morning. I am the chief of the Melchizedeks in this local universe, Machiventa Melchizedek. The strong physiological sensation which you experienced Sunday evening while relaying my message was the result of my communication through you. If it is acceptable to you, I will not moderate the strength of my presence, and will ask you to adapt yourself to my expression. What do you think of that idea?
[[Good]] [[morning]]. I am the chief of the [[Melchizedeks]] in this [[local universe]], [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek. The strong physiological sensation which you experienced Sunday evening while relaying my [[message]] was the result of my [[communication]] through you. If it is [[acceptable]] to you, I will not [[moderate]] the [[strength]] of my [[presence]], and will ask you to [[adapt]] yourself to my [[expression]]. What do you [[think]] of that idea?
A: I like it.
A: I like it.
===='''''[[Presence]]'''''====
Good, then. I wish to [[exhibit]] more [[power]], rather than less, and make the [[influence]] of [[the Father]] undeniable, since my [[acts]] are [[performed]] in His name. I [[desire]] to impart that [[feeling]] of the power of His [[love]] to you, so that you may [[grow]] used to it, and [[exhibit]] that same power of love in your life. I heard your [[commitment]] yesterday, and I approve. This kind of thing is what [[develops]] naturally when [[devotion]] is declared. I also note that you are able to [[simultaneously]] discern in an impartial [[manner]] the [[effect]] of the [[Adjuster]]'s [[efforts]]. This kind of [[awareness]] is keen, and I say to you that we are close to a momentous step -- one which will [[change]] forever the tenor and [[tone]] of your remaining days on the [[material]] [[planet]].
===='''''[[Service]]'''''====
When we look upon you mortal men and women, we see bridled [[potential]]. You have somehow slipped the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridle bridle], and it is [[good]] to see. It would be [[good]] to work with a whole [[person]] again -- one who is capable of freely extending the [[animal]], [[human]], and [[spirit]] [[potentials]], and then only the [[dynamic]] best of each. I think that you may [[prove]] to be such a person, and that [[development]] would be productive for our [[efforts]], in ways incalculable to you. There is not even a name for such a [[person]] in your [[English]] [[language]], but the languages of the [[64:6|red men]] described this [[phenomenon]] fully, as they were extensively familiar with the [[concept]], and [[perceived]] gradations and [[stages]] of [[development]]. You may sense it in the [[quality]] of their [[names]], which I prefer above all others, names such as They Seek Him. See that you hold onto this [[thought]].
In pursuit of the minister who is to [[receive]] my message, please arrange things as Soldette perceptively suggested. The time for [[questions]] will [[develop]] shortly, upon his [[reflection]] on my words. So conduct yourselves this way, you and Vincent, my most [[earnest]] [[student]]. Contact [the minister] by phone, and deliver my [[letter]] to him in an envelope, but reprint it with the salutation Greetings to you, [[citizen]] of [[the Kingdom]], and minister to the people. I have [[words]] to say to you, on the [[authority]] of the [[Most Highs]], for I see your [[acts]], and know that your [[heart]] is open, and ready to hear the good news, brought to life on your world by the example of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]], the [[anointed]] one, who by every [[thought]] and deed perfectly [[reflected]] the [[love]] of [[the Father]] in Heaven, and walked among your peoples but a few years, yet lives on in the works that you [[perform]] in his name, to the [[glory]] of [[God]].
I, [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], his servant, greet you and [[invite]] you to entertain my [[message]], contained within this [[letter]]. You are not [[alone]], for I, among others, stand ready to [[assist]] you whenever you call for help in His name.
Upon the delivery, make an [[appointment]] to return and [[discuss]] the contents and attendant [[facts]] of this [[communication]], allowing an hour. When you return, deliver to him a copy of [[Urantia Book]], and you will have lit [[fire]] to another brand.
I, Machiventa Melchizedek, his servant, greet you and invite you to entertain my message, contained within this letter. You are not alone, for I, among others, stand ready to assist you whenever you call for help in His name.
I [[wish]] you well, and know you will enjoy this [[exercise]]. I have many tasks of a similar [[nature]], if you but make the time available for this kind of [[work]].
A: Yes, Father.
I wish you well, and know you will enjoy this exercise. I have many tasks of a similar nature, if you but make the time available for this kind of work.
Do not call me Father. I am a [[teacher]], like others, and you will pass me by in search of a higher [[destiny]]. For now it is our [[mutual]] [[pleasure]] and benefit to work closely. [[Farewell]].-- [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]]
