Brother George Washington Bradley, thou art numbered with the Fathers in Israel and as such thy fame shall be known far and near and thy name shall be handed down with thy posterity in honorable remembrance from generation to generation, and in the name of Jesus Christ I seal all the blessings which have been conferred upon thee by any of the servants of God, holding authority and say unto thee continue firm in thine integrity for the eye of the Lord hath been upon thee from thy youth. He hath warded off the shafts of the adversary, which hath been hurled at thee and preserved thy life for a wise purpose, notwithstanding the trials, difficulties, and privations through which thou has been called to pass in consequence of the evil desires of the adversary. The Lord hath been mindful of thee, and these things shall be according [accounted] unto thee for righteousness and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and shall live to fill thy mission upon the earth, and secure unto thyself the blessings of Eternal Life. Thou art the only legal heir to do the work for thy fathers and thou shalt be a Saviour among thy kindred, that many may rejoice with thee hereafter in the Kingdom of God; therefore, I say unto thee, be at rest in thy mind and let thy heart be comforted, for thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and thou shalt receive thine inheritance on Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem. Health and peace shall be in thy circle, inasmuch as thou wilt follow the promptings of the Spirit and put thy trust in the Lord. Thy mind shall also be strengthened that thou shalt counsel in righteousness among the Saints and many shall yet rejoice in thy teachings for thy last days shall be thy best days; therefore, rejoice and give praise unto whom praise is due and if thou lack wisdom, ask in faith and thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear and give thee council in time of need. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and I seal thee up unto eternal life with power to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends, even so 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. |
