===Opening===
 
Elyon (Jonathan TR): Friends who gather in honor of Michael, we greet you as those who likewise assemble to provide the ministry he has enlisted each one of us to perform. You have on record his saying, to "go forth into all the world and proclaim the gospel." Imagine how extensive this charge is to us who have a universe in which to take this gospel. But the task is truly no greater or less be it a world or universe, for the proclamation of this gospel is to be extended individually, one to one. It would be just as accurate for us all to be told "go forth to another and proclaim the gospel."

===Lesson===
 
In every effort you make toward extending the awareness of the kingdom you can be assured of Michael's full comprehension through his experience as a human of your challenges, your insecurities. Although he was never reluctant to express his understanding of truth and the reality of his Father, he did personally come to know many who were more timid, and he understands when reluctance is encountered. As he ministered to those who encountered this fear, he likewise will do so for you. Just as certainly you are aided with his spirit presence throughout your efforts to be of service; likewise does he stand beside you during those moments when you feel you have fallen short of this charge to proclaim this gospel. Rest assured that never in any circumstance wherein you feel you fail that Michael would ever abandon you nor will he ever deprive you of a greater lesson, that being the attainment of the ability to effect such ministry in a future episode. The beauty of the ministry of Michael is that his evaluation of your efforts is always towards improvements in the events to come rather than an evaluation which depicts your efforts as a portrayal of the maximum of which you can perform. In other words, any failure or shortcoming on your part does not limit you to an arena of function less than you would idealize, but rather exposes the courses to be undertaken that will broaden your abilities in the future. I say this to encourage you to make effort and be willing to fail, for this will expose the ministry for yourself. Any effort made does not result in a report card in conclusion but results in a "to do" list, action items.

Mary: When you say you would be pleased for us to allow space for the Melchizedeks to convey information, are you saying to set aside time now, in our local groups? Or are you saying set aside time at the conference for them specifically?

===Closing===
 
Elyon: Although we reckon time differently than you do on this world, I would be sensitive to your schedules and offer to disband this meeting. You are a joy to the master. I know you have heard my expression of pleasure in your efforts, but today I wish to express that Michael is equally and even more so pleased with all you do in his name. I take my leave.
