Brother Peter, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I place my hands upon your head and seal upon you your Father's and a Patriarchal blessing with the blessing of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that these blessings may rest down upon you in might power and be a Shield and a Protection unto you against the ills and evils that are in the world that you may live and become a mighty man of God. Be full of faith, hope and charity and of the testimony of Jesus and be a preacher of righteousness both by words and example. Prepare thyself for thy Master's use, for thou shall be a choice instrument in His hand and His power shall rest down upon you. In great power, thou shall grow in faith until you shall have power to heal the sick and rise up the dying. You shall be a messenger of peace unto many nations of the scattered house of Israel and be able to speak unto them in their own tongues and you shall be an instrument in the hands of God to bring many souls unto repentance. You shall be in safety on land and on sea. Thy life shall be precious in the sight of God and His holy angels shall protect thee against every harm. Thou art of Ephraim and an heir to the fullness of the Holy Priesthood with wives and a numerous posterity. You shall stand as a Savior unto your kindred that are dead and be a wise counselor and a mighty leader among your brethren in the House of Israel. You shall witness the downfall of Babylon and the redemption of the Saints and the coming of the Son of Man and stand in your lot and place in your Father's house in the morning of the first resurrection and become a king and a priest unto the most High God. All of which seals and blessings I seal and ratify by virtue of my office through your faithfulness and seal you up unto eternal life in the name of Jesus, Amen.
