My beloved Brother, I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. I pronounce upon thy head the Blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In as much as it is in thy heart to do the will of God, His spirit shall be given unto thee and be thy counselor and guide into all the saving truth. In as much as has been honored in the Blessed ordinance of Baptism, thou hast obeyed the everlasting covenant with Faithful Abraham and the Kingdom, and he is become thy Elder brother and thy near Kinsman. Thou hast received light and love of the truth given unto thee by the Holy Spirit of God. It shall grow up to perfection in thy soul and thou shalt be finely gifted up on high and receive a crown of life from the righteous Judge. Thou hast a great work for the Lord in these last days. Thou art now more than ever be giving up into the Lord, and fighting unrighteousness of men and principalities, and greater knowledge and wisdom shall be given thee. It shall guide thy steps and thou shall be a putter-down of the strongholds of sin and Satan, and a builder-up of the Little Flock in righteousness. Thou shalt go out in the name of the Lord as an ambassador of the truth, and in the Lord's own due time, thou shalt receive the greater Priesthood and be a gatherer-in of the scattered Judea and Israel. Behold the power of God magnified in the gathering. Thou shalt have many seals to thy ministry and the power to return unto Zion with songs of everlasting joy, and have a blessed inheritance among the faithful labors of the Lord's vineyards, and have thy lands, corn, wine, oil, flocks and herds shall be added unto thee with vine and olive yards and eat of them. Thou shalt become a true worshiper in the temple of the Lord and behold His glory, having sweet communion with admiring Saints. Thou shalt behold the Blessed gathering, and be delighted with the assemblies of the ancient worthies, Patriarchs and Prophets of old and see the Ancient of Days set at the head of the human families, join the church of the First Born and live in reign of righteousness with thy blessed Redeemer in the great Millennium. Thou art of the faithful seed of Abraham and I seal these blessings upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ, even so, amen and amen. |
