Patriarchal Blessing of Benjamin Kempton given by Joseph Smith, Sr. ... Thou shalt have posterity, have children. some of them shall be prophets & prophets and prophetesses, ... Thou shalt have power over winds & waves. Shall have power to say to them peace, be still, and they shall obey thee. The Lord thy God shall speak from the heavens and till [tell] thee what to do. Thou shalt have power to translate thyself from one place to another. Thou shalt be blessed with long life and good days with all the gifts of the gospel The messengers of heaven shall visit thee. Shall have power to go forth and prevail as Enoch & Jared of old, power to learn that song which can only be sung by the 144 thousand.
