In the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you a father's blessing, even all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Thou art of the blood of Abraham and a lawful heir to the priesthood which shall be conferred upon you in due time. You shall have an inheritance in Zion with the children of Joseph, be a councilor in the House of Israel, be filled with wisdom and the Holy Ghost, be appointed to preach the gospel to many kindred, tongue, and people. At your rebuke the sea shall be still. You shall do any work that shall be necessary for the gathering of Israel. Your posterity shall be numerous and great in the priesthood. You shall live to see the winding up scene of wickedness, see and converse with your Redeemer, and inherit all the blessings of his kingdom with all your father's house. Even so, Amen. |
Beloved Brother, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a patriarchal or father's blessing according to the order of the Church from everlasting. I seal upon thee all the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blessings of the priesthood which was sealed upon the children of Joseph. I seal upon thee and thy posterity, for this is thy lineage, thou shalt be blessed with health in thy family and thy children shall multiply like Ephraim and be mighty in the priesthood, shall be able to seal blessings of the new and everlasting covenant upon the children of Jacob. Thou shalt enjoy peace in thy family. Thou shalt go forth to preach the gospel to many people. The Lamanites shall hear thy voice and they shall begin to believe thy word. Thou shalt gather thousands of the remnants of Jacob to the land of Zion. Thou shalt be able to rebuke the winds and the stormy winds, shall do any miracle that is necessary for the gathering of Israel. No power on Earth shall stay thine hand. Thou shalt see Israel gathered and Zion established in peace on the earth, have part in the first resurrection with all thy father's house, and inherit a kingdom that shall never pass away. Amen. |
