Brother David in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I lay my hands upon thy head and pronounce and seal the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob upon thee and say unto thee be of good faith and of good cheer and let thy heart be comforted. The Lord hath heard thy petition and is pleased with thine integrity. Thou art of of the House of Israel and entitled to the blessings of the New and Everlasting Covenant with the gifts and privileges of the priesthood. Thou art of the blood of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim and numbered among the Sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore put thy trust in the Lord and thy guardian will not forsake thee but will guide thy footsteps and watch over thee by day and night and converse with thee and give thee counsel in time of need and ward off the shafts of the Adversary which may be hurled at thee and give thee strength in time of trial and warn thee of dangers in time to escape. The destroyer shall pass thy dwelling and health and peace shall abide therein. Thy posterity shall be numerous like unto the sands of the sea shore for multitude. Thy sons shall be mighty in the priesthood and bear thy name in honourable remembrance from generation to generation. It shall be thy lot to travel much for the gospel sake. Thou shalt confound the wisdom of the wicked and set at naught the counsels of the unjust. Thou shalt counsel wisely among thy brethren. Many shall seek thee for counsel and wonder at thy wisdom. Thou shalt assist in avenging the blood of the saints which was shed by the ungodly and not a hair of thy head shall fall by the lances of the wicked and enemies shall flee before thee as chaff before the wind. Thou shalt be blessed in thy journeyings at home and abroad and if necessary thou shalt command the elements and the waves of the sea shall obey thy voice. Thou shalt be mighty in healing the sick by the laying on of hands. Thy life shall be precious in the eyes of the Lord and thy days and years shall be many. Thou shalt be blessed in thy daily duties and thou shalt be blessed so that thou shalt have of the world's goods all which is necessary until thou art satisfied and shall feed many in time of scarcity. Thou shalt see the coming of the Messiah and have joy and rejoicing. This with all thy former blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection to inherit a kingdom which shall increase for ever. Even so Amen. |
Brother George Washington Bradley, thou art numbered with the Fathers in Israel and as such thy fame shall be known far and near and thy name shall be handed down with thy posterity in honorable remembrance from generation to generation, and in the name of Jesus Christ I seal all the blessings which have been conferred upon thee by any of the servants of God, holding authority and say unto thee continue firm in thine integrity for the eye of the Lord hath been upon thee from thy youth. He hath warded off the shafts of the adversary, which hath been hurled at thee and preserved thy life for a wise purpose, notwithstanding the trials, difficulties, and privations through which thou has been called to pass in consequence of the evil desires of the adversary. The Lord hath been mindful of thee, and these things shall be according [accounted] unto thee for righteousness and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and shall live to fill thy mission upon the earth, and secure unto thyself the blessings of Eternal Life. Thou art the only legal heir to do the work for thy fathers and thou shalt be a Saviour among thy kindred, that many may rejoice with thee hereafter in the Kingdom of God; therefore, I say unto thee, be at rest in thy mind and let thy heart be comforted, for thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and thou shalt receive thine inheritance on Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem. Health and peace shall be in thy circle, inasmuch as thou wilt follow the promptings of the Spirit and put thy trust in the Lord. Thy mind shall also be strengthened that thou shalt counsel in righteousness among the Saints and many shall yet rejoice in thy teachings for thy last days shall be thy best days; therefore, rejoice and give praise unto whom praise is due and if thou lack wisdom, ask in faith and thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear and give thee council in time of need. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and I seal thee up unto eternal life with power to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends, even so Amen. |
