In the name of the Lord Jesus, I lay my hands upon thy head to seal upon you a Patriarchal blessing which shall continue with you through your life and all time to come. You are of the seed of Israel through the loins of Joseph who was sold into Egypt and a descendant of Ephraim. You shall inherit a great portion of the blessings that were pronounced upon the head of Ephraim which have come through the loins of your father and they will continue with your posterity after you, for you have been a lover of truth from your childhood and you shall merit these blessings by your faithfulness and diligence in time to come. You shall inherit the earth in this life and eternal riches in the life to come for it has been your desire from your childhood to know the mind and will of the Lord and the blessings and privileges that you can attain to that you might inherit the earth with the resurrection of the Just. These blessings I seal upon your head for you are a literal descendant through this lineage that has been pronounced upon your head in the name of Jesus. Amen.
