WO IS ME IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL

May 31, 1836 ~ Tuesday

Spent this 31^st DAY of MAY at Br Fry Eagle Creek
and found it to be the most interesting, important
& instructive day of my LIFE. For on this Glorious
DAY I was ordained unto the High Priesthood
and also as one of the second seventy & sealed up
unto Eternal LIFE under the hands of my
Beloved Brethren, VIZ Eldder's David W Patten &
Warren Parrish my ordination was requested by
the PRESIDENCY of the church at Kirtland Ohio
Their was glorious things Pronounced upon my head
in my ordination by the spirit of Prophecy & Reve
lation some I will mention which are as follows
That although my enemies would strive to take
my life & confine me in dungeons & Prisons yet
God should give me power over my enemies &
deliver me out of their hands & from their
vaults, prisons, & caves in the name of Jesus
Christ. & that men would bow at my feet
& worship me if I did not say to them do it not
& that Kings would bow before me &
Princes give me their hand & that I should
Baptize them into the Kingdom of God & that
I should be blessed on the EARTH when my
head blossomed with age & if I desired it I should
remain on the Earth untill the comeing of the
Savior & that God would give me the desire of
my heart & that God had had his eye upon me
all my life long to prepare me for this work
YEA {even when my spirit was playing around the throne of God in eternity} that I shou
ld travel to the nations of the Eearth & the Islands
of the sea to Proclam the word of God. When
these and other blessings were pronounced
upon my head I was filled with the Power
& Spirit of God. EVEN SO LET IT BE AMEN
O GOD THE ETERNAL FATHER I ASK
THE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
TO PREPARE ME FOR THY USE AND
GIVE ME THE SPIRIT OF MY MISHION
