Brother Ray, with authority from God I seal you up against the evil one with a knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with God and angels to protect you. Thou shalt be a successful husbandman, blessed with the fruit of the Earth from beneath, the knowledge of God from above to the joy of your soul. Thou art heir to the blessings of Israel through the seed of Joseph foreordained to help building up Zion in the fullness of time. Warn the world of their wickedness and sin, expounding to them the love of God toward all men. Be indeed a savior of men. In your youth forget not the counsel of your bishop. Ignore not thy father and thy mother lest you forfeit your right to eternal life with the righteous of Israel. Thou shall bear the priesthood with honor, perform many miracles. When thou lie down thy rest shall be in peace; in the morning of the resurrection be sanctified with all pertaining to you with Christ and his people; be a King and Priest forever, a lord and not a servant. Remember the Lord in your youth and joy shall be with you and you shall not be despondent in trials and adversities and not fall by the wayside. I bless you with the discernment of spirits, the knowledge of God, a prophet in Israel. I seal these promises and blessings upon your head to be yours forever as an authorized servant of Jesus Christ. Amen.
