My [[personal]] [[wishes]] and [[thoughts]] cannot always be [[expressed]], you understand, though I am a teacher under the orders of [[Abraham]] and [[Melchizedek]]. My [[mission]] is to teach and [[explain]] and make clear, clearer, the fundamental tenets laid down by [[Christ]] [[Jesus]]. This is my main objective, though this restatement, retelling, of the fundamental [[truths]] is the main [[purpose]] for me to be here. Therefore, it is important for us to remain [[dutiful]] to this [[purpose]]. The main point of this lesson is [[spiritual]] [[liberty]], the freeing of one's [[self]] to become a liberated son or daughter of the living [[God]]. That even in this [[thought]], this [[knowledge]] that you are children of the most powerful [[reality]] is liberating, is freeing. His children [[understand]] this [[concept]]. Make it yours. Make it your very own. You are His child in [[truth]]. That is what I will leave you with. [[Farewell]] until next week. I bid you adieu.

Greetings, I am Abraham. This may surprise you, perhaps yes, even astound and cause you to be incredulous; however, the fact of my presence is known, and you should not feel surprised, for I have watched these meetings many times and have been present at your homes. You are not unknown to us. Your thoughts and feelings and desires are known. We wish to understand all of you equally, yes. This mission which we have embarked upon is of supreme importance, and we wish to impress this upon you: that all of you will fulfill and dispatch the duties assigned you. Some of you have received specific instructions and have done much to carry out these orders, speaking specifically of Joshua. Therefore, we wish to extend our thanks to him this evening. It is for each person to accept or reject these gift assignments. As Rebecca has accepted her role and Joshua has accepted his mission, so will each person have an assignment. My father in truth and brother in spirit, friend, teacher, Melchizedek extends his greetings and also wishes to speak to you.

Greetings, I am Melchizedek, Planetary Prince of Urantia. I come here tonight in order to welcome you to the Brotherhood of Planetary Believers, to wish you well in your future missions, and to tell you that important, indeed stupendous, events are not far in the future, that you will be needed to undertake certain assignments which shall be given through Ham. He is directly under our supervision, and you need have no fears or worries of his authenticity. The planet is going through an intense shake-up at this time in many overt and subtle ways. This may be the cause of certain small calamities which we wish to avoid, and we wish to bring many people into the fold of the believership. We require your help in this endeavor.

===='''''[[Fatherhood]]'''''====
I am Ham. We shall begin tonight's lesson on the Father in Heaven. He upholds, restores, renews, all things. It is He that we look to. It is He that we turn to in times of trouble. It is He who strengthens and prepares the way for us. It is He who removes the obstacles in our paths and leads us forward. He is the living water that renews our souls and gives hope in the darkness, light and love, and peace and harmony. He desires to share Himself with us, and you should desire to share yourselves with Him that He may fill all your lonely spaces, all the darkened corners, with light and love and peace. He searches your soul. He knows all the heartaches, all the unworthy thoughts, and He is accepting, that you need not fear to hide any part. You never do. You must allow, you should want to allow, Him to fill you, for His presence is acceptance and forgiveness, and nothing else, nothing else. You will be living lights when you allow this.

Q: If we are to try to bring more people into the fold of [[believers]], how can we know whom to approach?
   −
A: This is difficult, yet I really cannot tell you. These matters are so intensely personal, and for a while yet, this group should remain the same. We need you to hear our message, but our purpose is wider than to teach only a few. When it is time, I will tell you.
