Sister Mary Elisabeth I Lay my hands upon Your Head in the name of Jesus Christ and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood conferred upon me to bless the saints I seal upon You a Father's Blessing. Great are the blessings which are in store for you. I seal Blessings for thee in common with thy companion the prophet who is gone behind the veil and is working further in the presence of our Father and our God. Thy afflictions and thy sorrows, thy tribulations and trials have weighed thee down with much sorrow and mourning so that thou has been almost unable to stand because thou art beloved of the Lord. He has suffered Satan to afflict thee almost like his servant Job to prove thine integrity the honesty and sincerity of thine heart. But out of all these troubles and from the power of Satan he will deliver thee. Thou art a daughter of Ephraim and great is the glory and exaltation with thy husband the prophet who is working for thee in the presence of our Father.
Sister let thy heart rejoice for thy last days shall be thy best days, and then thou shalt be comforted and freed from all your afflictions for thy husband shall visit you and comfort you so that thou shalt rejoice and praise the God of Joseph for he is like unto Moses to lead Israel, and thou shalt be comforted by his ministrations while you remain in the flesh for thy name shall endure and thy kingdom and dominion, for thou shalt be a queen to reign with thy husband in the kingdom and dominion that are appointed unto him, when thou hast prayed and humbled thyself before the Lord. Thou hast been comforted but greater shalt thou receive from this time forth of the comforts and consolations by visions and manifestations which shall come through the ministrations of thy companion. Thou shalt live until you are tired of life, have part in the first Resurrection, arise with thy companion to meet the Lord at his coming, and receive dominion, glory, and a Kingdom, for thou shalt reign with him throughout the endless ages of Eternity. I seal all former blessings upon you which thou hast received in the temple of God, and I seal thee up unto Eternal Lives in the name of Jesus Amen.
