Dear Sister I lay my hands upon thy head and seal upon thy head a fathers blessing because thou hast no father in the Church to bless thee. As thou hast had a willing mind and obeyed from thy heart the fullness of the gospel and came into the New and Everlasting Covenant thou shalt be blessed with long life and every other blessing thy heart desireth in righteousness. Thou shalt have power to bring thy parents and friends into the kingdom and to bring up all thy dead friends in the first resurrection. Thou shalt have the priesthood sealed upon thee in common with thy companion. Thou shalt be able to heal the sick through faith, even thine own family, in the absence of thy companion. Thou shalt have the ministration of angels if thou wilt be faithful and sure with thy whole heart. Thou art a daughter of Abraham thru the loins of Judah. Thou shalt be satisfied with the riches of the Earth and shall partake of all the blessings sealed upon the head of thy companion. When he returneth from his mission he shall bring a great company, amongst them many of thy friends and relatives. Thou shalt earn an inheritance in Zion and shall be mistress of a large house and feed many saints. Thy children shall be numerous and thou shalt rejoice with them in Zion with thy companion when wickedness is swept from the face of the Earth. Thou shalt have every blessing thy heart desireth inasmuch as thou livest for them. Through thy liberality the hearts of man shall be made glad. I seal all these blessings upon thy head, and also seal thee up unto Eternal Life by the authority of the Priesthood in the name of Jesus Christ, 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. |
