If You are Righteous Enough, Can You Get Blessings for Other People?

When I think of the word "righteous", sometimes I get a picture in my head of a list of tasks with checkmarks. That is completely incorrect and more like the style of worship the Pharisees lived in ancient times. The Savior frequently denounced their hypocrisy. The condition of their hearts did not match their actions.

The ancient prophet Moroni said, "For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also. For behold, God hath said a man being aevil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real dintent it profiteth him nothing. For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness." Moroni 7:5-7

Righteousness is seeking out the Lord's will and being obedient because we love Him. It involves being pure inside and out, with integrity of heart. There are times He is persuaded to grant us the special blessing we seek because of our love for Him. Sometimes that blessing is for ourselves, sometimes it is on behalf of someone else. We must remember that just because we ask and seek does not mean it will be given unless it is in harmony with His will for us. I could pray for the rest of my life to win the lottery but I doubt He wants me to go through that grand challenge before I master the smaller challenge of working within my means, budgeting and doing all things within my power to be a wise steward over my finances.

In the account of Alma the Younger in the Book of Mormon, an angel visits him to command him to cease his behavior which was injurious to the church. "...the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith." Mosiah 27:14

The pleadings of a righteous father and a people rang in the Lord's ears and He answered in a grand way. Can we plead for blessings for those we love? Of course we can! Does our faith and righteousness have power to persuade the Lord to bless? Yes, they do but each and every prayer needs to be concluded with "Thy will be done."

Elder Dale G. Renlund compared faith to the action of lighting a match to the process of building a fire. He said, "Restored truth reveals that blessings are never earned, but faith-inspired actions on our part, both initial and ongoing, are essential...most blessings that God desires to give us require action on our part—action based on our faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in the Savior is a principle of action and of power. First we act in faith; then the power comes—according to God’s will and timing. The sequence is crucial.The required action, though, is always tiny when compared to the blessings we ultimately receive." 1

Blessings pronounced and sealed upon our heads by those in authority are passed down to our posterity by inheritance. In such a way, we can seek blessings on behalf of others. The thirteenth article of faith states, "if there is anything lovely, virtuous, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." May we continually seek to bless others through our actions and inspired prayer!

  • I was ruptured and lost all my life savings when I invested in cryptocurrencies and got into the wrong hands, i had $213,811 in BTC stolen from me. I was about to lose hope in life after hearing that it couldn’t be found or recovered, but fortunately I came across an article online about a recovery specialist called Jamesmckaywizard, and on how he has been helping people recover their lost funds via scam or any other illegal means, I contacted them and did some work with them just to give it a try. I never thought it would be feasible, but to my greatest amazement, they were able to recover the money that was taken from me. I decided to share this with anyone who might require such a service. Regarding BTC recovery or money lost to scammers/Hacking services you can reach out to them on..:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31622647750.

  • Good day everyone, I’m Oliver Martins from Netherlands, my husband and I own a joint business, about two months ago we invested some part of our money into a cryptocurrency investment platform and made a total of $178,000 payment through bitcoins to this cryptocurrency platform not aware that it was all a scam, they kept asking us to make more payments into their platform and that was when we realized we have lost our investment. It was such a difficult time for us but while I was surfing the internet, I saw someone share a post about Jamesmckaywizard Recovery, a reputable company that recovers stolen and lost funds and any kind of hacking jobs. I didn’t hesitate to contact them and after providing all the information they needed to work with Mr. JAMES was able to recover our money in less than 48 hours. We were shocked that such a thing could be possible but we are super excited we were able to recover our money all thanks to him and his team. We are recommending them to everyone out there who have been defrauded too by these fake cryptocurrency investment platform. You can reach out to them with the information below: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31622647750….

  • I came in hand with greatness today, after mysteriously losing control of my Binance wallet and my trading account to LCGCOIN, I did everything they asked me but truth be told, this LCGCOIN crypto trading platform is just a bunch of rippers and clowns who prey on us due to our lack of exposure about cryptocurrency and how to properly earn from it. I saw no end to their demands for them to allow me access to my Binance wallet and trading account with them as well. I hired a private detective in my city, Oklahoma and he confirmed to me they were crooks but he couldn’t do much so he introduced me to Cyber Genie Hack Pro Crypto Wealth Recovery Services. I consulted them, and they swiftly got into work. I am truly impressed with the outcome of their recovery services. Having back access to my money was all I wanted. Every dollar I ever deposited into my LCGCOIN trading account was recovered. Everything is in order and my security is tight to avoid further cyber attacks. Grateful to everyone that made the recovery a success at Mail: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp: +31622647750 . File a case with james mc kay wizard if you are a victim of Binary and Cryptocurrency trading fraud.

  • MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER; EXCEPTIONAL PHONE HACKERS DELIVERING DISCREET AND SUCCESSFUL SPYING SOLUTIONS

    I recently found myself in a situation whereby I had to spy on my girlfriend. This was a tough call, but the writing was on the wall. I had to research far and wide until I came across the Maestro Encrypter Financier—professional phone hackers who promised to help me spy on her phone discreetly. First of all, the whole idea sounded very skeptical to me, but then the positive reviews and testimonials of the customers satisfied with their service were convincing enough to give them a go. Their process was really smooth. From the moment I made my first contact, customer service was just brilliant. They were very attentive to my needs, walking me patiently through each and every step. And of course, they assured me of their discretion and the legality of their services. This is big for me. They also had a variety of options concerning contention in different scenarios, hence putting either across their experience or professionalism in the area. The hacking process was amazing. Within a couple of hours, after forwarding the details, I accessed her phone. It felt like I had a VIP pass to her digital life: now I am able to read all her messages and her call logs, know where she is, and get access to her social media. All this detail was unbelievable; it was so easy to navigate through the user-friendly dashboard. But the best thing about it—the service is totally undetectable. She was totally unaware of compromising her privacy, an element very important to my peace of mind and the integrity of our relationship if everything turned out to be some big misunderstanding. What actually amazed me was the kind of information I received. It was accurate, timely, and full. The team of Maestro Encrypter Financier could work around all the security features on her phone, from its two-factor authentication feature to the encryption itself. Everything seemed to play out before my very eyes as though it had to be, and it was enough for an informed decision regarding the way forward of our relationship. My experience with Maestro Encrypter Financier was simply fantastic. They availed me of all the tools and information necessary to pursue my suspicions to a tee.
