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 Amos, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee which shall be a guide and a comfort unto thee in time to come, for thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and an heir to the blessing of the New and Everlasting Covenant with the gifts promised to the sons of Zion among whom thou art numbered. Be prudent and seek to know the will of the Lord, for it is thy privilege to become a mighty man in Israel. Therefore, seek to inform thy mind and be diligent in doing good, and the vision of thine understanding shall be opened and thy faith shall increase, and thou shalt comprehend things past, present, and to come, and thy voice shall be heard in defense of the truth among the nations of the Earth. Many shall seek thee for counsel and rejoice in thy teachings. Notwithstanding the finger of scorn may be pointed at thee and the wicked lay snares for thy feet, no power shall prevail against thee as long as thou art in the discharge of thy duty. Thou shalt be prospered in thy journeyings at home or abroad and in thy labors spiritually and temporally. Thy day and years shall be according to thy faith and the desires of thy heart. Thou shalt fill up the measure of thy creation and thy name shall be honorable in the land. Thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, cheer up the bowed down, and cause the fatherless to rejoice, and of thy faith fail not. Thou shalt preside over a stake in Zion and thou shalt be numbered hereafter with the fathers in Israel who shall receive their inheritance among the saints. This blessing I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection a saviour in thy father's house. Even so, Amen. |
