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 Anders, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and I ask God the Eternal Father to indite the blessing which is for you, for thou art of the blood of Joseph and entitled to many blessings. Therefore, prepare thy mind and be firm in the spirit that thy blessings may be meted out unto you according to your deserts, for there are many blessings in store for the faithful of the children of God. Therefore I say unto thee, conduct thyself through thy remaining years that you may be worthy of every blessing which is pronounced upon the faithful, for according to thy lineage and birthright thou art entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to stand upon Mount Zion and be numbered among the hundred and forty-four thousand. Therefore, be faithful and thou shalt not lose one jot or tittle of thy birthright, for the Lord knoweth the integrity of your heart and will hear thy prayers and will answer thee according to thy work. Therefore I say unto thee, seek understanding with wisdom, for thou shalt be called to administer in the priesthood, and to bear glad tidings to the nations of the earth. Therefore, be faithful to thy trust and honor thy calling and give praise unto thy father who is in heaven, and be careful to shun the paths of the evil doer lest thou shalt fall by the way, for there are many trials and temptations laid to ensnare the Elders of Israel. If thou art faithful thou shalt overcome every difficulty and do a work upon the earth which shall be handed down from generation to generation in honor and thy name be written in the Lamb's book of life, and thou shalt be the savior of thy father's house. This blessing I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto Eternal life that you may come up in the morning of the first resurrection bringing with you many of thy father's house. Even so, Amen. |
