Brother George B in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth I lay my hands upon thy head, and by the authority vested in me to bless the fatherless I place upon thy head the Blessings of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and also the priesthood that Jacob placed upon the heads of his sons, which has been handed down through the fathers, which shall be transferred unto thy posterity throughout all the generations through out all time and all eternity. Thou shalt enjoy the fruits of the earth. Thy posterity shall be numerous even as the tribes of Ephraim, of which thou art a descendant, and thou shalt receive a crown of glory when thy Brethren are crowned, because thou has been faithful through many trials and persecutions and have not faltered. Thy latter days shall be better than thy former. In patience thou shalt have power to overcome all things and I seal upon thy head the Blessings that have been conferred upon the heads of former Patriarchs. These Blessings I seal upon thee in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen. |
Brother George Bentley Teeples, as thou hast desired it I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted. For years past thy mind has been troubled. Thou has prayed unto the Lord for strength and grace sufficient for thy day, and I say unto thee be comforted, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions. He knoweth the secrets of thy heart and will reward thee as thou shalt merit. Over many things thou hast been faithful for which thou shalt also receive thy reward. Therefore I say unto thee, from this time forward, be obedient to the laws of god, and seek wisdom and thou shalt desire a change, therefore let thy faith fail not. Thou hast suffered privations and witnessed trying events for the Gospel's sake. Therefore I say unto thee be at rest in thy mind. Seek to know the will of the Lord and strive to do thy duty and it shall be well with thee, for thy memory shall be strengthened as you reflect upon the past. Thy mind shall be enlightened as you look forward to the future. Therefore as thy duty is made known unto thee by the spirit seek to perform the same for thou art numbered among the fathers in Israel, therefore prepare thy self to go down to thy grave like a shock of corn fully ripe for the garner of our Lord. Counsel in righteousness among thy posterity that they may receive benefit from the experience which thou hast had in the past. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and thy name shall be written in the chronicles of thy fathers with thy brethren. Thou shalt also realize that the hand of the Lord has been over thee for good. Therefore give praise unto him. This blessing I seal up on thy head with the forgiveness of thy sins in the name of Jesus Christ and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection as a king among thy kindred. Even so amen. |
