Sister Florence, in the authority of the Lord Jesus I place my hands upon your head and seal upon you a Patriarchal Blessing and declare unto you your lineage and the blessings to which you are entitled by birthright as also by your faithfulness in the keeping of the commandments of God. I seal upon you the blessings of Eternal Life, the blessings of the New and everlasting Covenant, the blessings of Sarah of old, to stand as a mother at the head of your generation, for thou art of the seed of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim and entitled to the promises and all the blessings of Sarah of Old as in creation with her husband so shall it be with you with your husband. I seal upon your head the gifts of wisdom and counsel to counsel and direct your posterity in the ways of life, to comfort and nurse the sick and afflicted, that through the inspirations of the Holy Spirit and in dreams at night in your chamber you shall receive understanding and through its gifts shall be enabled to wrest from the Powers of Darkness and the destroyer the souls of the children of men. I bless you as a Mother in Israel with physical power to bring forth into the world safely your offspring and be able thus to glorify the name of God by you knowing that his promises have been verified. I bless you with the love of your posterity that in years to come your heart shall be filled to overflow by reason of the love exhibited for you. I bless you with long life to live till your labors are accomplished upon the Earth, that rife with age and not before you may be gathered home. I bless you with peace in your home, with ability to control yourself and those under your care, with ability to be forgiving and to instill in the hearts of those with whom you are surrounded that precious gift; Love.
These blessings are for you therefore seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive. Doubt not for the Lord has taken notice of your integrity and no blessing or promise shall fail. I seal you up unto Eternal Life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection in creation with your husband and your faithful children, crowned with glory and Immortality in the name of Jesus Amen.
