Beloved brother, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a patriarchal or father's blessing; even all the blessings of the everlasting priesthood that was sealed upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and upon the children of Joseph in the land of Egypt, for this is thy lineage, and thy name shall be had in honorable remembrance in the Church through thy posterity from generation to generation. Thou shalt be blessed in thy basket and in thy store. Thou shalt have an inheritance in the land of Zion, a very great plantation. Thou shalt have all kinds of beast and carriages, shall have servants and handmaidens that will delight to obey thy voice. Thou shalt pass through afflictions and not be troubled. Thou shalt not be beset by the hand of the destroyer. Thou shalt have the ministering of angels which shall teach you great wisdom. Finally, thou shalt have the riches of eternal life. Thy posterity shall be numerous almost as the stars of heaven. You shall live, if you desire it, to see the winding up scene of this generation and bring thy father's house to a knowledge of salvation and be satisfied with life forever. Even so Amen. |
Sister Mary, beloved of the Lord, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you the blessing of a father, even all the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant. Thou art of the blood and lineage of Ephraim and art a legal heir to the priesthood which shall be sealed upon you in fullness in due time, teaching you mysteries that have been kept hid from before the foundation of the world. You shall also have power to heal the sick in thine house and among thy sex. Thou shalt even have power to raise the dead if it be necessary for the salvation of Israel. Thou shalt see thy friends and fathers house embrace the gospel and confess unto thee that thou art in the way of truth and righteousness. Thou shalt be blest in thy basket and thy store in thy house, and about thy habitation you shall have all things which your heart desirest, servants and handmaidens that will delight to do thy will. Thou shall be satisfied with the riches of the earth. The riches of eternity shall be given unto thee. You shall live if you desire it to see the winding up scene of this generation, see a temple built in Jackson County Missouri, and the glory of the Lord rest upon it, and shall receive the greatest blessing in that you ever received before in all your life. This is thy blessing which I seal upon you and it shall not fail. Your children shall multiply as the sand upon the sea shore and be mighty in the priesthood. Even so, Amen. |
