Sister Tamer, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head and seal upon you the blessing of a father, even all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Thou art a daughter of Abraham through the loins of Joseph and an heir by inheritance to the Everlasting Priesthood which shall be sealed upon you in fullness in due time, teaching you mysteries which have been kept hid from before the foundation of the world. You shall be endowed with all the power that was sealed upon the daughters of Joseph in common with your companion. You shall be able to heal the sick by the prayer of faith and shall have power over the destroyer. Your children shall become exceedingly numerous, be mighty in the priesthood and extend their dominions to the ends of the Earth. You shall be satisfied with the fruits of the Earth and every desire of your heart and shall inherit the riches of Eternal Lives. If you desire it with a perfect heart you shall see your Redeemer stand upon the Earth in all his beauty and glory, and shall inherit all the blessings of his Kingdom in a world without end with all your father's house. Even so, amen. |
Brother Hiram, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to seal a father's blessing upon thee, because thy father is absent, nevertheless thou art entitled to a blessing under my hands. Thou art of the seed and lineage of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, and an heir to the blessing and priesthood which was sealed upon his head under the hands of his father, which will enable thee to be a Savior on Mount Zion to save thy dead and living friends, and to bring them up in the resurrection of the just, and to reign over them to all eternity, also to push the scattered remnants of Jacob from the ends of the earth, and no power on earth shall stay thy hand, for the Lord has given his angels charge over thee. They will guard thee by night and day, defend thee from all dangers, and no enemy shall prevail against thee, and no bonds nor chains shall stay thy progress. Thou shalt converse with angels from time to time. This shall be thy comfort when thou art far away from thy friends. Thou shalt accomplish a great mission and bring thy thousands to Zion with their gold and silver and precious things to thine inheritance among thy brethren, and rest in peace with thy companion and a numerous posterity. The number of thy years shall be according to thy faith, even to see the winding up scene of this generation, to see Zion extended and peace established over the whole continent of America. Finally thou shalt have every desire of thy heart, and shall inherit glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life, and I also seal this blessing upon thy posterity forever. If thy faith fail not not one word of this blessing shall fail, for I seal it upon thee by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. Amen. |
