Brother Ernest, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee and I say unto thee be of good faith and seek to obtain wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Also, inform thy mind in regard to the principles of life and salvation, for thou art numbered among the sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore, prepare thyself for the events of the future, for the time is not far distant when thou shalt be called to labor in the ministry, and without doubt thou shall travel much for the Gospel sake and go again to thy native land and gather out from bondage many of the honest in heart who are now in Babylon, and if thou art faithful thou shalt have great joy therein, and thou shalt find friends among strangers, and thine enemies shall not hedge thee round about, but thou shall accomplish a good work and fulfill thy mission upon the Earth. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and shall receive thy Blessings in the Tribe of Ephriam. Thou art also entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenant in as much as thou will be humble and listen to the still small voice of the comforter. Therefore I say unto thee put thy trust in the Lord and the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and guard thy footsteps, and thou shall become a mighty man in Israel, and thy name shall be perpetuated and handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. These Blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thou up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection forever. 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. |
