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. |
Sister Ann Elizabeth, according to thy desire I place my hands upon thy head to bless thee and I ask God the eternal father for his spirit to invite thy blessing and fill thee with influence thereof. Thou art of the house of Israel and entitled through obedience to the gospel to the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant, with the gifts thereof. Thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and if thou art faithful thou shalt be crowned with the mothers in Israel who have fought the good fight of faith and won the prize. Teach thy children the principles of truth and virtue while in their youth and they shall grow up around thee, bless thee in thine old age, and bear thy name in honorable remembrance from generation to generation. Thou shalt also be enabled through prayer and faith to heal the sick of thy family and hold the adversary at bay, that health and peace may reign in thy dwelling, for the Lord knoweth the secrets of thy heart and if thou wilt ask in faith He will hear and answer thy petitions to thy satisfaction. Thy table shall be spread with the bounties of the earth and thou shalt have joy in thy daily avocations. Thou shalt comfort the hearts of the fatherless and give unto the needy. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. Even so, amen. |
